My husband and I wanted a return trip to the keys with our adult childten for our 30th anniversary. This was the perfect place! Comfortable, plenty of room for all of us, close to shopping, activities, food and drinks (The Run Bar makes the best pina colada) and ending the day with a dip in the pool was definitely a hit with our kids. Could not have asked for a better experience!

Family getaway to the sun

House and pool were beautiful and relaxing!! Perfect location to all the fun! Walkable to restaurants and bars! We rented a golf cart about a block away from house which was also very convenient. Our stay at this house created a perfect week for the entire family. Would definitely stay again when visiting Key West.

Property was very cute

I think some things should be updated around pool. I was not thrilled with ants. We bought spray and never had the problem the rest of time.Construction beside us was not great. But work goes on!A little pricey for what you have. A little sanding and some Rustolium paint once a year would be an improvement.

Tropical Retreat - perfect spot!

We loved our stay at Tropical Retreat in Key West. The location was perfect with walking distance to tourist spots, bars and restaurants, but far enough away to have privacy and some quiet. The house itself was perfect for 3 couples and the pool was a huge plus to relax in the mornings and afternoons. We will be back!

Nice spot

The property was very nice and it's in a great location. Only steps from Duval but still in a quiet neighborhood. There was construction on the house next door that was very loud and started every morning exactly at 8:00 am. The property was very accommodating with an early arrival but not as much with a late departure. We had to leave by 10:00 am but our flights didn't leave until early afternoon and there was no space to store packed bags until we were ready to leave. I would definitely come back....but once construction next door is over.

Such a cute and comfortable place to stay. The location is amazing, the pool is amazing, and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals. The property manager communicated with us from before we arrived throughout the whole stay to make sure we were happy. I would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely Perfect Rental!

This rental was perfect for our trip. Very clean and very comfortable beds (important!). The pool area was amazing and refreshing and the location is just about a block from Duval Street and only a short walk to a pier, beach and Southernmost Point. We had a golf card but would have needed it if we weren't going sight seeing around the key. The kitchen had everything we needed. Great communication and instructions. We highly recommend this rental and would stay there again if back in Key West!

Great location

This property was a half of a block from Duval Street. Everything was right at your fingertips. The house was very spacious and beautiful. The property manager responded very quick and he was very welcoming. The pool was warm and big and the backyard was gorgeous! There was also an outside cottage with a King bed. The only thing was that the outside cottage was sprayed heavily with a disinfectant maybe to the mattress that may be sensitive to people with allergies and asthma.

Prefect weekend in Key West!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such an amazing weekend at this cute little cottage! We were celebrating a bachelorette party and this house was perfect for us! Nice and clean, well stocked, and slept all of us comfortably. The staff was very accommodating and clear with our instructions for check in & check out. The house was close enough that we could walk to most of the restaurants and bars that we wanted to see! The pool was a great size and so nice for the hot Florida weekend! All in all it really was a great weekend!!

Lovely House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this house for our family vacation. I was worried that keeping the house at 72* would be too warm for us to comfortably sleep, but the fans made it quite chilly! Walking to distance to pretty much everything and lots of room for my family, parents in law, and my dad. The main house bathrooms are oddly shaped and it is an older home. But overall, we loved it!

Excellent property, terrible timing

**If you are considering renting this property in the next six months or so be advised there is a MAJOR CONSTRUCTION project right next door**Everything about this house was as advertised - adorable, clean, great location, etc etc - please read all the reviews and know they are accurate, which is why I gave the property a high rating.BUT - we were completely unaware of the huge construction project next door. Loud music, power tools, and yelling each day (including a Saturday) from 8AM-5PM. Unavoidable, but greatly impacted our stay as we were looking forward to lounging around the pool in quiet and privacy. No discount in pricing was offered to compensate for the inconvenience and disruption.Check-in was easy, but late - I had to contact the host to inquire and didn't receive info until well after check-in time of 4PM. Property manager was fairly unapologetic and unresponsive to our complaints about the unexpected construction, other than to agree it is "a major project." We would absolutely recommend this property - once the house next door is finished being built.
