The only issue we had is no one responding to our correspondence or messages left by phone. Since we never stayed here before we had a few questions.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying at the Sailfish Suite. We’re very glad you enjoyed your stay overall, but we sincerely apologize for the frustration caused by the lack of communication during your visit.
We understand that first-time guests often have questions, and we never want anyone to feel unsupported while staying with us. Your comments are appreciated and will help us improve our responsiveness moving forward.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience on a future visit to Key West.
We really enjoyed staying here, the property manager was readily available for questions prior to arriving. The property is spacious. Would definitely stay here again.
Extremely clean, perfect location, would stay again for sure. Was a little noisy, but worth it for the location. Water pressure in shower not the best, but did not affect us much.

Be aware of significant noise at night. The unit is located above the Grand Café, faces Duval Street, and is directly across from the Hard Rock Cafe, which has live music, along with other nearby venues. Bedroom two in Unit 5 is directly above the restaurant kitchen and can be especially loud.We stayed January 16, 2026. Aside from the noise, the accommodations were nice.
This property was in the absolute perfect location. It was very roomy and even had its own porch for watching people on Duval Street. Easy in, easy out- great host and great property- if we come to KW again, we will definitely try to book this apartment!
This is a great location above the Grand Cafe on Duval. Very spacious rooms that worked out perfectly for our stay. You are right in the heart of Old Town and walking distance to everything. You can just walk down the inside stairs and you are right in the restaurant.
