Catherine House was the perfect spot for our Key West trip. It was close to everything but quiet. The house had everything we needed and more. The beds were comfortable and the house is well maintained and clean. The pool is small but perfect for a cocktail in the afternoon after exploring Key West. The yard is shaded pretty much all day which is really nice. We would definitely stay here again.

This rental was awesome! Great location, easy walking distance to shops and restaurants, but enough away from the major party areas for peace and quiet. The rental was exactly as described on the listing. We did have a couple small issues which the maintenance man came to fix within an hour of notifying the host. The pool is SMALL but it didn’t matter- our girls still loved it and it was refreshing after a long hot day. Having a washer and dryer was very convenient so we could wash beach towels and bathing suits each day. So many things provided- extra blankets, towels, anything you could need to cook, coffee, some seasonings, fully stocked to set you up for a great stay.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the house, though we appreciate your note regarding the pool. In the historic district of Key West, many properties feature these 'cocktail-style' plunge pools, perfect for a refreshing soak and a cold drink after a day in the sun, but certainly more intimate than a full-sized swimming pool. We hope the 'soak' was still a relaxing part of your vacation!

Cute cottage and great location. Beaches were a few blocks away and you are practically on Duval street, the quiet end. The cottage was perfect for 4 adults. We had plenty of room and never felt like we were on top of each other. We will be staying here again!
