About this property

Enjoy gentle ocean breezes and gorgeous views at Sea Orchid (La Brisa #405E)

La Brisa beach condominiums offer a Florida charm that is relaxing, easy and captivating. Named for the ocean breezes that flow around the pretty blue and white buildings, La Brisa is an ideal spot to enjoy your Keys vacation. Located on South Roosevelt Boulevard, this secure gated community is directly opposite Smathers Beach. La Brisa offers a neighborly and relaxing atmosphere. Join in on community held activities at the club house, play in a match on the tennis courts and enjoy the sizable pool, hot tub and a spacious common area for chatting, eating and lounging in the sun.

Make your vacation memorable and relish in the comfort and beauty of The Sea Orchid. This recently renovated condo features two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a magnificent view of the ocean. The open air design of the living/dining area adds to the spaciousness. While looking out over the Atlantic Ocean, recline on your sofa or rock yourself in your wicker rocking chair and take in the colors of a Key West sunset. The recently renovated kitchen is roomy and boasts a stainless steel refrigerator, and double sink. The large glass dining table has room for six a great view of the ocean.

The primary bedroom offers a king bed and double windows looking out over the ocean and a fabulous walk in closet/dressing room. The spa-like primary bathroom has dual vanities and an oversized, glass-enclosed walk-in shower. This bedroom also has its own individual access to the private balcony, perfect for an early morning cup of coffee and a sunrise. The second bedroom has two twin beds and a large closet boasting lots of storage. The second bathroom is stylish with its modern glass and tile shower, full wall mirror and granite topped vanity.

La Brisa captures a feel for island life, the way the locals live it, away from the clamor of down town. Quiet moonlit walks on the beach, a morning café con leche from a local vendor and a beach sunrise make for an unforgettable vacation. And while you are tucked away from the noise, you are not too far away. There is a bike trail that leads you along the Atlantic Ocean, past many Key West sights, into the down town area. A large selection of fantastic Key West restaurants and attractions are just a pleasant bike ride away.

Bedding: 1 King and 2 Twins.

There is elevator access from the ground floor to the condos above. There is one reserved, covered parking space.

**ELEVATOR SHUT DOWN NOTICE: The East building elevator will be shut down until Mid May for a Elevator Modernization Project. The condo will ONLY be accessible via stairway.

Please note; the LaBrisa Condo Association requires additional registration in advance of your arrival. Details will be provided along with your RKWV rental agreement.

**Disclaimer**

*The peak sargassum season in Key West is typically from July thru September, with June may also see significant amounts which can impact your stay. While the naturally occurring seaweed itself is not dangerous, it can accumulate on beaches, producing a foul odor and potentially harboring organisms that cause skin irritation. We do not provide discounts for the situation.

Nice Location. Close enough to everything in Key West, but quiet at night for a good night's sleep. Nice view from the room. Room was very comfortable, and kitchen was great. The Pool and Hot Tub were very nice too. People who lived at the location were quite nice too. The only slight negative is that the elevator was being repaired, but I needed the step anyways.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We are so glad you enjoyed that perfect Key West balance, being close to the action but having a quiet sanctuary for a great night’s sleep. It’s wonderful to hear the kitchen and pool added to your comfort! We also truly appreciate your patience and your 'glass half full' attitude regarding the elevator maintenance. We’re happy to report it’s back in top shape! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to have you back for another comfortable stay soon!

Very nice p!ace to stay in Key West. Steps away fromSmathers Beach! Only thing was I love to cook and would love to had a crock pot available. I know most people eat out on vacation so it would not matter to most. I would recommend this condo for your next stay in Key West.

Family trip to Key West

The Sea Orchid at the La Brisa condos was perfect for our family trip. The view from the balcony was beautiful! We even had the good luck to see a rainbow one morning. The condo and property are well taking care of and clean. We made several meals at the condo and the kitchen was one best I've used on vacation because of the supplies (pots, pans, dishes, utensils). The location is great because of the views, access to the public beach, and easy drive to rest of the island.

Pictures don’t do this property justice.

We loved this property. The pool and the hot tub are beautiful, behind the tennis courts there are grills. The beds are comfortable and the giant fridge were a major plus. Smathers beach is a short walk away. The airport is less than 10 minutes away. Our only difficult was finding the right building. On the inside of the circle you will see a red "E" that indicates the correct elevator tower. It is the first one on the left when you enter the development from the automatic gate.

All good here, except for bed bugs

The property was clean, but I gave one star, cause it has bed bugs. Me and my wife had bites all over our legs. We had other small issues which were not major, i wont mention that.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 April 2024
Our priority is to provide a clean and well maintained property. There were no reports to us or any documentation such as photographs to support the claim that our condo has bed bugs. If you did in fact has bites on your legs it was most likely from Noseeums, which are very common on the island especially near water and this condo is directly across the street from the ocean.

Great stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Making the arrangements was easy. It was a little inconvenient to have to go to the office to check in instead of getting a code and going right to the property. I would suggest offering a little more information for people getting there for the first time. We spent a lot of time searching ways of transportation, i.e. bus availability,Duval loop , taxi’s etc. as we were not in the center of Key West. Uber was readily available. The location was terrific with a beach right across the street. The office did not have much information about transportation into the main attractions. We did a lot of researching prior to going to Key West but it would’ve been nice if some information was there at the condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was absolutely gorgeous!! The view was so peaceful and the home was very clean and comfortable! It seemed like some remodeling was done and the work is beautiful! I just wish the doors from the master bedroom that led to the balcony opened! We had a few issues with the batteries to key card to enter the property being dead and had to get those switched out a few times but everyone we delt with was so friendly and helpful!! The last full day of our vacation the only elevator for the building we were in broke which left my Dad stuck in the room the entire day due to fact that he couldn't go up and down 4 flights of stairs so that was a huge disappointment since we had to cancle quite a few plans we had made for that day. I would say that if you aren't physically capable of going up and down flights of stairs keep that in mind and I would also ask for two entry keys to start with that way if one doesn't work you aren't sitting there waiting for someone else who lives there to let you in. Overall I would absolutely recommend this location for vacation!

Great location, but didn’t like the current residents

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We checked in late evening. I noticed a few smaller insects as we turned in lights in the kitchen and bathrooms. The next morning I saw several more. I sent pictures to our extermination company at home. Unfortunately I was correct. The current residents were German cockroaches. I notified the leasing office the morning of the second day. On the morning of the third day as I opened the reservoir to add water for a cup of coffee a few more roaches crawled out of the reservoir. At that point I called the office and stated we can no longer tolerate the conditions. They moved us to a diff ent location that evening. I do appreciate the fact that within two days of us notifying the office they relocated us for the remainder of our vacation. However having a night free a few nights free or being compensated for the move would have been a nice gesture other than just expecting us to be grateful they moved us out of a roach infested location.

Key West Fun In The Sun

The unit was as described and clean. We arrived after office hours. We had received an email directing us to an online portal for details on getting into the unit. The portal appeared to have everything we would need to get into the unit. We arrived at the gated entrance and had no idea what to do. There were no instructions in any email or in the portal on how to open the driveway security gate. We snuck in with another car. The portal had the elevator code and the door code to the unit but no information on how to open the gate. When we called the office the next morning, we were told we should have stopped by their office in downtown Key West to pick up the remote for the driveway gate. That was not mentioned anywhere. We went to the office after the phone call, and they gave us the remote for the gate. While the unit clean and the description and photos were accurate, we did have one problem. There was no hot water in the guest bath shower. The guest bath sink had hot water. Since we were not using the guest bath shower, we did not call the office about it but mentioned it to them when we checked out. We enjoyed our stay and will likely stay there again when we come back to Key West.

Thank you for your review of Sea Orchid at La Brisa Key West. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. We understand that after a day of traveling it is easy to glance over the check in instructions in the guest portal, but the instructions are in every guest portal and we send a prearrival email with the same detailed instructions. The first sentence in the guest portal check in instructions for that unit is " You will be coming to our office to retrieve your common area keys, gate remote, and condo door code. Our office is located in Duval Square, 1075 Duval Street, Suite C-11 ". In addition, we did send an email with instructions prior to your arrival. From Guest Communication Audit Log: Office Arrival/Lockbox Instructions was sent Mar 20, 2023 2:10:17 PM. We just don't want future guests to think that we do not attempt to make checking in as easy as possible. We appreciate your staying at Sea Orchid La Brisa and we do hope to welcome you back again soon!
