Very well appointed 3 bedroom cottage. Neat, clean and great finishes. This cottage is very comfortable for several days stay. The beds/mattresses were very comfortable, loved the bedding/linens, they have not skimped on anything. The location cannot be beat! Really enjoyed our time staying at The Dancing Rooster.

This property is in a great location & has been renovated from when we booked until we stayed! It’s bright, clean, comfortable, and highly recommend! Finding a place with three beds (not including twin beds or a pull out) in Key West was tough, but this was the perfect spot! The only thing that might be a deal breaker, depending on your group, is there’s no access to the common area (kitchen/living) from the front bedroom except through one of the other bedrooms. This was fine for our group & we would definitely stay here again!The juice/smoothie place right across the street was excellent & we were repeat customers at Island Tingz (a few blocks east on Simonton) for breakfast & coffee. Short steps from Duval & all Key West has to offer!

A cute, clean bungalow at a very convenient location. Traveling as a family of six, it's difficult to always please everyone, but we were all happy with the property and Key West is always a treat.

It was a cute house. Centrally located easy to get to all areas. The parking was pretty good. Only 1 day hard to find a spot out front. Unfortunately the outside of the house was dirty as well as the grounds around the house. The sink in the back bathroom is clogged slow draining. The floor in the whole house is really dirty.

Responsive host & property manager. Great location within walking distance to shops, restaurants, & attractions. Property was clean & beds comfortable, but would recommend having spare blankets should anyone want to sleep on the sofa. Would definitely stay there agsin.
