Beautiful location and gorgeous views from the patio. Accommodations are wonderfully spacious and comfortable. Holly is the best! She is very helpful with all aspects of your stay.
Holly was so gracious in welcoming us and providing advice and recommendations to enhance our visit. The location is awesome and the accommodations provide everything you could want or need.
Great location right on the beach with a very short walk to Duval street and a bunch of great restaurants. Holly, the host, is a treasure and we enjoyed meeting her. We had everything we needed along with a parking spot right on the property (9/day). There was also plenty of useful items for the beach like towels, chairs, tote bags, swim noodles, etc.

What a grand review! Thank you very much for taking the time to do so....Many are so busy with the life, yet you have taken the time to enter LUSTER Plus knowing how important truths are “on paper.” Happily, many others have done so too… loved my mums home as well. I'm sure their reviews helped you both to decide yes to book here! I can’t thank you back enough for the amazing review!!! So glad to have met you- after all the experience of privacy had and ocean views so great, are not found anywhere else in KEY WEST! We certainly hope you can return to your lanai sooner than later! Delightfully many guests become short acquaintances of meaning in so many ways and in words we say
SEE YA THURSDAY!”😊
Aloha Holly y Javier
A wonderful experience start to finish at Holly’s place. The setting, quiet, views and her hospitality were tops. Loved the location from Duval Street, Louie’s backyard and all the restaurants, cruises, etc. We rode bikes everywhere with no traffic or issues with cars. 7 days of heaven. Highly recommend this place and Holly. We will be back.
The view of the beach and water from the outdoor table and chairs was beautiful. The studio apartment was very clean, spacious, and quiet It is a very short walk to the south end of Duval Street. We highly recommend this apartment.
hosts were great, very attentive and kind. The location can't be beat.

Hello Michael! Thank you so much for the five star review! Its such a magnet to great people to find the studio, we are very lucky to add you to the select few that find and book us, and so many return year after year, -We hope you will too! Be well Aloha!
Fantastic!! The view was magnificent, and we loved having access to the beach service from the hotel next door. We didn't see a single place we would rather have stayed. The bohemian feel was just right, and Holly was an excellent host. We will absolutely stay here again!
Property is in a great location! Beach is at your door, Duval 5min walk where all the restaurants and shopping are. Holly was an amazing host and has a wealth of knowledge about the local area. Place is super clean and cozy. Decor has a Key West vibe and the view is amazing. We had a great time and will return.
My husband and I stayed here for 6 days for my 50th birthday and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The house, the amenities, the VIEW, and location were all amazing! Hospitality Holly (the owner) really was there for anything we needed. She even helped with booking of a golf cart for our stay, which I highly recommend. Everything was as pictured and described. Thank you for everything including my little bday surprise you left! Will definitely stay here again!
Loved the location! Host was very accommodating with great suggestions. Made use of the resort beach next door and short walk to Duval Street. Lovely, clean efficiency with all the amenities we needed.

Was great adding you to the wonderful list of super great guests that we get to meet, check-in and leave to peace and quiet to chill out here- We get so many BE-Backers we hope you come back too! Aloha
This is a lovely place, exactly as described and as pictured, with a very attentive host. The highlight is the location which is truly just steps away from the hotel beach and pool which gives access to guests from the rental. It is a beautiful beach with lounge chairs, towels, and drink/food service directly to you at the beach or pool. We rented bikes from Hol and rode them everywhere, you don't need a car at all. Definitely recommend.

best location with at-home feeling
We absolutely loved staying at Holly's. The location is amazing- walkable to a ton of beaches and everything downtown. We also really loved having a kitchen and more of an at-home feeling to come back to than we would have at a hotel or resort. We definitely would stay again!
