Clean comfy room/bed. Good A/C! Great communication with owners. Safe and secure access. Location was perfect and central to all the fun! We were there for the 2026 Key West Songwriters festival.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the perfect location and that you’re already planning to return. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another 10/10 stay!
Just a last minute trip to Key West. We wanted to just relax, eat seafood, and listen to some good music. This was the perfect location for us. Everything was within five blocks.

Sounds like a great trip! We're glad the location was perfect for you and that you enjoyed the food and music. Thanks for staying with us!
Perfect home base for a weekend bachelor/ette celebration! Close enough to Duval to get everywhere on foot, but out of the fray enough to have a quiet night of sleep. King bed was an unexpected luxury!

Thank You for an amazing review, Sarah! We're thrilled you've enjoyed your stay with us. It was a pleasure hosting you. Looking forward to your next stay in Paradise! Kind Regards, One of One
Loved the fact we had an assigned parking spot. Location was within walking distance to great restaurants on the harbor and others. We parked the car and never used it until we left. The management was attentive and answered questions quickly. Highly recommend.

Very Clean & Cozy. Excellent communication & check in. Great Porches. Close to everything. We parked our car & didn’t move it until we left.
The only thing I would have changed was there was no full length mirror in our room but honestly in key west who cares what u look like :)

very convenient to Duval St, Schooner Wharf, Mallory Sq.Barking dog in room next door went on for hours. Called mgmt. Not sure what they did because it persisted.
Timely check in. Great communication
For property to be a one room unit could have been cleaner. Attention to detail... could have been ceiling fan and lighting should have been cleaned, caulk in shower had mold as well as the shower curtain. Such an easy fix to all above.

Hi Vanessa, thank you for your feedback! We hope to host you again. Brightwild
The AC didn’t work properly and the only outlet in the bathroom was behind the door. The hot tub/pool’s water was freezing. The room didn’t feel secure because several of the key pads weren’t working. This room definitely wasn’t what we expected and we were greatly disappointed. It was close to normal tourist attractions

Room does not look like pictures. Shower dripped entire time. Couldn’t turn off bathroom lights. No plugs for cell phones. Kuerigcoffee pods, no cream, no sugar. Spend the extra money and stay at Hyatt!

Hi Cindy, sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with us. We would have bene more than happy to have had everything taken care of for you if you reached out during your stay. We hope you give us a second chance in the future. Sara, Brightwild
Great central location with nice second floor balcony view . An historic property with a lot of charm, but in need of a lot of small improvements. Most importantly the WiFi significant was essentially nonexistant in the room although available in the back courtyard of the property. This problem was reported but never solved during our stay. The wall AC unit is very effective in keeping the room cool, but is VERY noisy; one of us would have had little sleep if they hadn't brought earplugs. The floors throughout the unit really need to be cleaned! The bed has a premium (very stiff) matress but is so high one of us could have used a step stool to get into bed. There is also a general lack of counter space and there are no chairs of any kind.

This was pretty much the perfect location! It was a very quick walk to the heart of Duval Street. Having a designated parking spot right at the property was a plus for us because we rented a car and drove down. We had a little trouble getting in the door but the property manager was VERY responsive and helped us get in really quickly (honestly, it was probably my fault - I think I missed a text with an updated code). The bed/pillows were very comfortable. There is a window air conditioner that is pretty loud, but my husband and I like that kind of noise. I usually sleep a little hot and this was no exception. I was hot at night - a fan would have been nice. But for most people, the temperature is probably pleasant. It was nice having the microwave and refrigerator. The bathroom was a nice size - just note that I didn't see anywhere close to the mirror to plug in the hair dryer - I wished I would have had an extension cord. Overall, this is a great property with a parking spot and a pool. My husband and I hope to stay here again!
