Great place!

We had a great stay at Marie's flat. The location is perfect, just on Duval Street. The flat is very clean, the beds are super comfortable and everything is very convenient. We enjoyed being on the terrace outside and everything was very practical. I hugely recommend this flat and I would like to thank Marie for her fast answers.

Great condo and great location

The condo was perfect for our stay. It is beautifully updated and decorated. There is a back yard that has a deck and patio area and has beautiful tropical plantings. The condo is located in a very nice complex with a nice pool area. It is close to many restaurants and activities. Overall we really enjoyed our stay! I highly recommend this condo!

Christmas in the Keys

Great place! The Shabby Chicken is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. We loved that we were close enough to all the wonderful Key West attractions and dining, but staying in a lovely, peaceful condo. We spent a lot of time on the patio and enjoyed the use of the barbecue grill. We arrived tired on Dec. 20th to a clean and welcoming environment. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect spot to enjoy your Key West vacation

We loved our stay at the Shabby Chicken! It was the perfect location, being a short walk away from the water/sunsets and also to all the action on Duval Street. The condo had everything we needed, and we really enjoyed the back patio. The Truman Annex was a really nice complex for pool time and walks through the neighborhood. The owner Marie couldn't have been any better as a host. She shared suggestions on what to do in Key West and offered advice throughout our stay. We hope to be back soon!

This property was perfect for our needs.

Shabby Chicken was a delight and—despite the name—there is nothing shabby about it. It is located in a beautiful community with easy walking to the main attractions. The beds were comfortable. Many amenities were provided so we didn't have to buy them - things like dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, toilet paper, etc. All of us took advantage of the pool which we walked to through the beautifully landscaped property. Marie responded promptly to our questions and was very accommodating, making our stay worry-free. If I ever return to Key West, I would definitely stay here again.

Can't wait to come back

My husband and I came down to stay at the Shabby Chicken for our honeymoon with our good friends. Marie is wonderful to work with and gets back to you quick. The condo was gorgeous and made you feel like you were at home. The pool is not far from the condo and is a nice way to cool off. The pool is also a great way to meet new people and learn of great places to see, try and hang out while there in Key West. The condo is not to far in to the Truman Annex so it makes for easy access to get in and out. The condo is perfectly located so you are a walk away from fun and entertainment. Can't wait to come back to Key West and stay at the Shabby Chicken.

Highly recommend!

Great place to stay! Our family of 5 (with 2 adult children and a 10 year old) had the perfect amount of space to spend the week. The condo was clean and nicely prepared for us, even with an air mattress for our 5th person. The location was AMAZING. We walked everywhere we needed to (except Higgs Beach because it was 1000 degrees but that was technically walkable too). Mallory Square and that area of town was a quick 10 minute walk through the gated community. We rented a car but it sat unused almost the whole week- we know for next time that a car is not necessary. The pool was a quick walk and temp controlled (“chilled” for our hot July visit). Highly recommend this rental!

Family of 5 (teens included)

We had a great stay! Our host was very quick with communication and answerd any questions we had before arriving. I loved the location! It was walking distance to so many things! We had plenty of room to spread out after a long day. I really appreciated that the closets had shelves to unpack suitcases instead of taking floor spaces with dressers. Big thanks to Marie for a great space!

This is our 2nd visit to the shabby chicken and found it just as delightful as the first time. Perfect location for walking distance to Duval street for fun, food and shopping. Easy drop off and pick up location for the bikes we rented. Property was clean, cute and had everything we needed. Host Marie is a delight to work with and very responsive. We even met her delightful cleaning lady, Karen. Thank you for a great week!

Almost Perfect

I am a disabled veteran who requires rest throughout the day. It may seem unimportant to others but at bed time It takes time for me to get comfortable and eventually fall asleep. I do this while watching television. I booked this property because it showed a tv in master bedroom photos and also in the description, to my dismay there was no tv in the mb when we arrived. It was very depressing and difficult to lay in bed every night staring at the ceiling. Shouldn’t put things in the description that aren’t there, that’s false advertisement.

Wonderful stay! The location cannot be beat. The condo had everything we needed. We have visited Key West multiple times staying in the Truman Annex, and this is a favorite. We really liked being on the first floor but only wish the early morning weather would have cooperated to allow us to enjoy the back patio for morning coffee, as it is a very nice area. Marie worked with us on the arrival time and departure. We could not have asked for more. We look forward to visiting again and hope the Shabby Chicken is available.

About the host

Hosted by Marie and Tom

Host profile image
We both grew up in Ohio, met at Ohio State University, married and moved to Charlotte, NC and then Chicago. We moved back to Ohio but the winters are long . Visiting Key West allows us to slow down and really enjoy a different pace of life and the warm weather.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property, and named it The Shabby Chicken, for the shabby chic design we choose for the place. The Shabby Chicken is a sanctuary from when life has you running around like a chicken. The lifestyle in Key West and amazing sunsets can all teach us to keep life simple and take pause when you can. The only rush hour here is the walk to your favorite happy hour. We retreat to the keys to unwind and relax, hear live music, eat great local seafood.

What makes this property unique

Our ground floor, large floor plan condo offers more light as the whole back of the place has french doors and windows. Our large outdoors has both sunny and shade areas. The deck and patio is private and very nicely landscaped and has plenty of seating. There is a pull up area at the front door, which makes for easy loading and unloading of suit cases, groceries, etc. You'll have an designated parking spot for your vehicle.
