The cleanliness was impressive and home had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully equipped which was a nice treat and the grill worked great. Our A/C did fail for the last day or so which was a bummer but these things happen and the host was communicative about it

We’ve been staying at Amelia Home for nearly 20 years. The inside of the house was excellent. Clean. Upgraded a/c. Beds, bedding and linens were great. My only issue was outside. The pool was green with algae for our first two nights. The landscaping has not been kept up as in the past. I was pleased with AvantStay in getting the pool cleaned, but we lost two of five nights to an unswimmable pool.

Thank you for your loyalty over nearly 20 years — it truly means so much to us. We're glad the interior, upgraded A/C, and linens lived up to expectations, and we sincerely appreciate your patience while our team worked to get the pool back in shape. Your feedback on the landscaping has been shared with the right people so we can continue improving the outdoor experience. We'd love to welcome you back and make your next stay everything it should be.

Perfect Key West Get-Away!

The Amelia House exceeded our expectations! It looked exactly how a Key West house should with exquisite wood finishings, open air flow, and a beautiful pool. The neighborhood is quiet and restaurants, stores, and Duval Street are all in walking distance. My husband, my 81 year-old father and I had the perfect vacation there. We will definitely be back.

Here’s a polished version that keeps your tone while making it read more smoothly:When we arrived, we all agreed this was truly one of the cleanest places any of us had ever stayed. Not only was it visibly spotless, but even the corners and less obvious areas were exceptionally well cared for. It smelled fresh the moment we walked in, and the entire property simply felt clean and well maintained.Everything we needed was provided, and the communication was outstanding from start to finish. Questions were answered promptly, and we appreciated the thoughtful check-ins and helpful information throughout our stay.Our only minor critique was the parking space. It is quite small, and the bushes extend very close to, or even beyond, the edge of the concrete. We found ourselves having everyone get out before parking when we drove and having to squeeze through the bushes each time we arrived or left to walk anywhere. We also loved the little lizards that hung around outside; they were a fun part of the experience! The location was fantastic, with an easy walk to Duval Street, and it made our trip incredibly convenient and enjoyable. We would absolutely stay here again.

"One of the cleanest places any of us had ever stayed" is about as good as it gets — thank you for that, and for noticing the details that often go unseen. Glad the communication and check-ins added to the experience, and that the walk to Duval Street made getting around Key West so easy. Thank you for the honest note about the parking situation as well; that's been passed along to our team. As for the lizards, they seem to have made themselves permanent residents — we'd love to welcome you back to visit them anytime.

The house was great! The only real issue was that the pool was not clean ( it was to green to use). That's why I paid more to have a pool in Key West in August.

Thank you, Eric. We’re glad you enjoyed the house overall, though we apologize for the pool condition during your stay. We understand how important this amenity is, especially in August, and we’ll be reviewing our maintenance process to prevent this from happening in the future.

Great little place

We had an awesome time. Thanks for the check in goodies. Very close walking to everything Key West. The pool is amazing, centered in a lush palm atmosphere. The house and furnishing were like staying in a home not a rental. I have two critiques. First is that the house is need of a deep cleaning at some point. It was acceptable and I understand it’s a rental. Second, the pool area has lights in and about the palms and shrubs but none work. The pool interior pool light does not work also. Some minor pruning and some fresh mulch and I think all is good to go….. Again we enjoyed the place and will rent again when back in town .

Paradise in Paradise

It had been 15 years since I’ve been to Key West and wasn’t sure what to expect from a place I’d never stay before. I’ll spoil the ending. It was the perfect place. The location was quiet, but still only less than a mile walk down Duvall Street to all the things people go to Key West for. It was also walking distance into two incredible restaurants right on the beach. The property itself is breathtaking. When’s the last time you walked into a vacation property and said I want to live here? It was clean. Comfortable. And well equipped in the kitchen and the bathrooms. I’m leaving the best for last. The backyard is like a Hidden paradise that is so well landscaped you feel all alone and private. We were already making plans to stay there again next year. In short, you will not regret spending your vacation at this in this amazing home.

Just Average & Overpriced

The pictures give a much more favorable impression of the property than real life. Updates and paint are needed to continue to charge a premium price for just an average property. The pool was really an oversized hot tub and I was charged an extra fee to heat it (which it wasn't - swimming at the local beach provided warmer water). In addition, there was some type of company directly next door operating out of a shipping container that made A LOT of noise each morning. Also, there is a parking spot, but you better have a smaller vehicle. I was driving a Traverse and had to park into the bushes on one side to be able to exit the vehicle. I would not stay here again and am disappointed in how much I paid for just an average accommodation.

Great place w/ private pool to enjoy Key West!

The house was perfect for 4 of us, the check-in gifts were a nice touch! The house was lovely, perfect location to walk to Duval St, restaurants, etc. The nearby Cuban coffee walk-up window has excellent coffee and bakery items that we walked to daily. We enjoyed not having to drive, we walked everywhere we went in KW from this location. The pool was warm, clean, & the light was working (switch on the LivRm wall) the only thing is the picture shows 3 pool side lounge chairs and there were only 2, just FYI. Only feedback I can suggest is replacing the king size mattress with a new one as this one was quite worn and not very supportive. Also, some extra blankets would be helpful as the bedding is nice, but on the thinner side. The windows let in a lot of light but this could be due to the shutters not being on (noticed them on the side of the house, possibly for repainting or repair)? so if you are a dark-room sleeper, suggest bringing an eye mask. Overall, we loved this home and if you want your own pool and to walk everywhere in Old Town, its perfect. Thank you for having us, we hope to return soon!
