The house was super clean upon arrival. the area is nice and secluded so you don’t see or have nosey neighbors. close to all the action but just far enough away you don’t hear the night life when going to bed. perfect little guest house for two! would definitely go back!

Stayed for 2 weeks, very responsive to any questions/issues. Recommend staying here as it is close enough to the action, but far enough away to feel removed.

Excellent Old Town location

Most enjoyed the close proximity to the heart of the Key West Old Town area. Walking distance to great restaurants, shops, and museums. Very busy during spring break and St. Patrick's Day, so parking was difficult. Very quiet and comfortable with kitchen amenities, except there was no coffee for the coffee maker. Found coffee and other food items at CVS nearby.

Cozy loft in the heart of everything

Loved our stay in this cozy loft In downtown Key West. We were able to walk anywhere we wanted to go. Only place you may need to drive to would possibly be certain boating activities further up the island. Place was clean, comfortable and perfectly located.

Whitney was very responsive to my questions and any concerns. I was there during Hurricane Milton and she was very supportive, suggesting a local grocery store I could use to get some food stuffs before the storm hit Key West. The location was very centrally located allowing me to walk everywhere while exploring Key West. Thank you for a great stay.

Great studio close to Duval street

Riptides is a small studio apartment with a very well equipped kitchen. We had everything we needed to enjoy our week in Key west. Very close to Duval street and centrally located in old town so close to everything . Highly recommend for one or two people. Small but cozy with a small enclosed back porch. We had a great time in key west as always
