Loved Ricky's Retreat

Location was Amazing. Just off Duval St. You can pretty much walk to anywhere. We did rent bicycles to and went to all the historical sites. Everything was great. The bed was a little uncomfortable, but we made it ok for a week.

Almost Perfect

Amazing location, great for what we needed! My only complaint is that the bed is small and uncomfy and the air conditioning doesn’t do the best job. Other than that, it’s in the perfect spot easy for walking everywhere and the property was well managed and clean! Host had excellent response times.

Weekend Getaway

This rental was a wonderful place to stay. It is in the perfect location if you want to enjoy all the things downtown Key West has to offer. Walkable distance to all the bars, but far enough away that you don’t hear anything. Very nice and clean on arrival, cute and cozy decor, and the AC unit also works well, which is very important for July in the Keys. I would recommend this to any couple or pair of friends. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Experience

I don’t typically take the time to leave reviews but I had such a great experience I felt like I needed to. The place was clean and as advertised, but the communication and diligence by management to make sure my stay was as great as it could possibly be was very much appreciated! This will be my preferred spot when I go back.
