Location was excellent, minutes from everything, no need for a golf cart. Room was clean, neihbors were quiet. The room we had was a small studio, not much bigger than a cruise ship cabin. Nice outdoor seating in the courtyard. Super easy check in and out. Would definitely stay here again.

Ricky's Retreat was the ideal place for us and our pup on our stay in Key West. Not far from any of the fun, it was a short walk to anywhere you could want to go. Ideal for visits to Duval st.The room was clean and stocked, ready for our arrival. The bathroom had a lot of space for our personal belongings which was nice for getting around. The host was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had.

Excellent place and a great time - extremely clean and easy to check in and out. They make the whole thing easy and offer free rides across the island wherever you need it. The location of the place is also amazing, you step out the door and there are restaurants and bars in every direction across Duval Street

Visit to Key West

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location in Key West. As described it small, but comfortable. We did lose electricity during our stay that was taken care of in a reasonable amount of time. If you never visited Key West recognize parking may be challenging.

Loved Ricky's Retreat

Location was Amazing. Just off Duval St. You can pretty much walk to anywhere. We did rent bicycles to and went to all the historical sites. Everything was great. The bed was a little uncomfortable, but we made it ok for a week.

Weekend Getaway

This rental was a wonderful place to stay. It is in the perfect location if you want to enjoy all the things downtown Key West has to offer. Walkable distance to all the bars, but far enough away that you don’t hear anything. Very nice and clean on arrival, cute and cozy decor, and the AC unit also works well, which is very important for July in the Keys. I would recommend this to any couple or pair of friends. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Experience

I don’t typically take the time to leave reviews but I had such a great experience I felt like I needed to. The place was clean and as advertised, but the communication and diligence by management to make sure my stay was as great as it could possibly be was very much appreciated! This will be my preferred spot when I go back.
