Beautiful house in perfect location
My family had a wonderful vacation in Key West. This house was beautiful! I’ve stayed in Key West several times and this is by far my favorite location. Very close to Duval and the Marina. Lots of restaurants, coffee shops, nightlife and shopping at your fingertips. Will definitely stay here again.

Key West Property Review
The property is located in an excellent spot - close to all the activities on Duval St. It was a lovely home that comfortably accommodated my family of six. My family also enjoyed the little pool in our down time. We also found the property to be very clean and would definitely recommend this rental for anyone else considering a vacation in Key West.

Perfect house, perfect location
The house was perfectly located in Old Town Key West. We were able to walk everywhere and enjoy the different restaurants and attractions while still being close to base. The comprehensive briefing provided by the owner when we arrived told us everything we needed to know. The house was well furnished and equipped. The salt-water pool was perfect for our young grandchildren. With rooms spread over three floors, the three generations had space and privacy but with plenty of options and places to spend time together. We have already decided to return sometime in the future.

The location is definitely the best part of this rental, everything you could need is within a block or 2. Rental could definitely use a couple updates & a good cleaning, but was fine overall.

3rd stay at one of Mark's properties and it was great. The place was clean and well stocked with anything we would need. The heated pool was nice as the weather was cooler than expected on a couple days. Love the location...we walked or biked everywhere we went! Can't wait to come back!

Great Location
We’ve stayed at several properties in Key West over the years and the highlight of this property is the location. The house appeared clean, but does have a pest problem: roach motels on kitchen counter, closets, etc. We watched a roach scurry across kitchen counter one night. The amenities were not not quite equal to what we’ve been accustomed to at other properties: master shower had no place to put toiletries except on the floor, no kitchen dish rags, worn out mattresses, weather worn deck and outdoor furniture required caution to avoid slivers, hot tub smelled funky. Overall, it is probably a good value, and if you have no other rentals to compare it to, you’ll probably be perfectly happy.

Loved!
This was our third trip to Key West and by far the best location we've had. Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance (minus the fishing charter from the marina) and the night life on Duval was great. The kids loved swimming in the pool in between activities and there was plenty of space for all six of us. Will definitely book again next time we're down!

Great location!
We enjoyed a week-long family vacation in Key West. The house was exactly how it was described with 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. It comfortably fit all 7 of us. We had a little issue with the air conditioner one night, but it was fixed by the next day. The house is a block off of Duval, convenient to most restaurants, shops and bars. We rented bikes, but if we go again, we’d rent a few golf carts. It can get a little scary riding bikes at nighttime on Duval. Needless to say, we highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to be close to the action.

Great House-and great location
We had a fabulous time at Marks house. We were a party of six (family) and had plenty of room for everybody. The house is very clean and laid out well. The outdoor courtyard an pool, where a great place to hang out at night. And the location is perfect. Close to Duval Street but far enough away; everything is within walking distance. Would definitely stayhere again, and hope to in the near future Cheers

Fantastic Property !!!
We had a wonderful stay at 522 Bahama . The house is huge and beautifully decorated . Everything was as described and had every amenity needed. The private pool was great to chill in or cool off after a long day in the sun. The best part was location ….. one block away from literally anything you could want or need but yet private and quiet when you didn’t . We will defiantly be back on our next visit to Key West !!!
