The unit we stayed in the calypso was located right next to a very loud hotel bar and pool. This was not communicated to us at the time we reserved it

Everything was clean and a sweet space, lots of privacy. The only negative thing was when on the patio, the bar/restaurant was on the other side of the greenery and we could hear all of the talking and activity.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the privacy and cleanliness of the cottage, we put a lot of heart into making it a 'sweet space' for our guests. Regarding the noise on the patio: you've perfectly described the 'Old Town Trade-off.' We love being in the heart of the action because it makes the island's best dining and nightlife so walkable, but it does mean that the lively 'Key West hum' can sometimes drift over the garden greenery. We appreciate the feedback, as it helps us improve! We’d love to have you back for another visit soon.

Key West Get Away

My husband and I stayed here for a full week. The unit was super cute and just the right size for both of us. Everything was clean and maintained well! We loved the private patio that we had. We ate breakfast out there everyday. The outside pool area was a nice spot to relax and cool off! We will definitely stay here again!

First timers in Key West

Perfect location and size for two adults. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials for our visit. We walked everywhere. The location is very central to the old town. The pool was perfect for some sun and a swim. Easy check-in and check out.

There was no privacy as the back area was literally connecting to an outdoor seating area where customers were glaring, staring and making every effort possible to look through the poorly designed privacy fence with large holes in the wood. Leaving us in uncomfortable situations where the privacy was zero. Would not recommend this place to anyone. The description labled this particular room was quiet and private. That couldnt of been further from the truth! Very disappointed and will not be back!
