Potters Cottage

Historic Key West Vacation Rentals management company is a 10 out of 10 company to work with. We will contact them again for our next trip to Key West. Potters Cottage was extremely clean, in a great location, nice outside space with plenty of different sitting areas that was around the pool, the cocktail pool was clean and warm, and the front porch was cozy.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Charming cottage-KW vibes! Cottage is in a great location-walkable to Southernmost, action on Duval, great restaurants and Higgs Beach.A quiet respite as well if you choose. Indoor decor was comfortable and well maintained-especially loved the cozy side library space. The pool was the perfect size with lots of sunny areas and cozy shaded seating-ceiling fans were a huge plus. Communication from management company throughout the booking and stay was fantastic. We will be back!

Perfect location

Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. It was everything we wanted and more. The location was excellent. We were so close to restaurants, shops, art galleries and activities that we didn’t even use our car after we arrived. The atmosphere & pool in the back was so nice and relaxing it was hard to leave. We also had a wonderful time “people watching” from the front porch where you also get a lovely view of the lighthouse. We absolutely loved everything about your home and Key West. The management company and it’s employees were top notch. So nice and helpful! Thank you for making our vacation better then we imagined. We look forward to staying here again very soon.

A cottage of possibilities

Absolutely love this cottage. It was just the right size for 2 or 4. The addition of a private pool and the backyard covered patio, are divine. It’s like your little oasis away from the bustling world. The cottage looks exactly like pictured and it’s very convenient to all of the great places on Duvall street. There’s a free, non-permit spot right in front and little traffic down this street. We didn’t get to sit on the front porch, but I’d imagine it’s worth taking a sit and enjoying to morning sun with coffee. The property management company was amazing and really provides a concierge level of service. I definitely will rent this place again.

Great Vacation!

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: This is the second time I've rented Potter's Cottage for our Key West vacation. The house is very cute and comfortable with everything we needed. It's within walking distance of many attractions (Hemingway House, Lighthouse, and Southernmost Point) and great restaurants. This year, we spent more time sitting on the front porch watching passersby than we spent in the pool (...not that the pool wasn't great, though.) The staff was always very helpful and quick to respond to all my questions.I can't wait to come back!

GREAT time!

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: Potter’s Cottage was perfect for my trip with a friend. It’s in a great location - one block off of Duval but still quiet enough for peaceful lounging on the deck and quiet time for sleeping. House was exactly as expected - clean, no maintenance issues and had everything we needed for our stay (beach towels, coffee maker, etc). The staff was amazing - from booking, to getting bikes coordinated and delivered, to checking out. We are already planning a trip next year and plan on using this team again. Thank you!!!

Just what we needed.

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: A buddy and I planned a trip to celebrate our wives’ 50th birthday. We rented Potters Cottage from HKWVR for our stay in Key West. Best move we could have made. Both wives were so happy and the husbands are calling this a Big Win. To a person, everyone that we interacted with at Historic Key West was so friendly and helpful, and most importantly, they joined our mission to make sure the ladies had a great time. The concierge services were top notch and helped with reservations and advice. 10 out of 10.
