Great vacation spot!
The check-in process was quick and painless, even though we didn’t arrive until after midnight. The property was quiet, and clean. The condo itself was spotless, it had all necessary amenities and a great view as well! The spot was very close to Duval St, within walking distance of a nice beach - overall, it was perfectly positioned for tourists!

Amazing
The location was perfect! Right near all the main areas. There was everything you would need for essentials in the kitchen, bedroom and laundry. All instructions were as described. Would def. Stay here again and again. Comfortable beds, great air conditioning and a loving friend, Iguana, that happened to be living above the patio. Great view of the ocean, pool and beach. The environment was quiet and no complaints of any noise. Also, lost my phone in the mangroves Andy replacement was sent to the front office and accessing and getting the package was with ease. Again, I cannot say enough. Thank you!

Amazing Condo
The condo was amazing! The ocean view was great as was the pool and hot tub. It took us a little bit to figure out the lay of the land, but it didn't take long for us to know where everything was. The proximity to Smathers Beach is a HUGE bonus. Probably a 3 minute walk to an amazing KW beach. We arranged for parasailing out of Smather's Beach so it was very convenient to be able to walk over there instead of having to drive somewhere. Our family likes to try different destinations, but we wish we could pick up and move this condo to every location we ever visit!

Overall, Nice Place/Space
We were pleasantly surprised by the space and layout of the place. Location is great! It’s adjacent to one public beach and only a 2-3 minute drive to another on the southwest side. It is also far enough away that you don’t have to deal with the tourists from the cruise ships. The place had nearly everything we needed. Towels, chairs to take to beach, pool noodles, and plenty of kitchen items. We only needed to hit Publix for some items to stock refrigerator. I would consider this unit again on future trips to Key West. I deducted a star because the unit is a little worn. You can see it most in the bathrooms. This is mostly cosmetics, like different colors of silicone around tub and shower tiles, doors frayed along sides, sink dripping, shower control only gets hot when handle in about 10 o’clock position, patio door not seemingly lockable, patio having lots of spider webs as if it’s been without use. Well, we didn’t use because of all the webs. Some repairs should be considered. About Key West: Being surrounded by water, the island has very little beach, as seen throughout other parts of Florida. The beaches, for the most part, have large rocks, seemingly to prevent erosion, along them. There are a few spots you can find a sandy stretch similar to most other beaches. However, the water is nice, clear, and shallow. We walked out maybe 50 yards and the water was still only about mid chest for my 13 year old daughter. Must have water shoes for beach to pass rocks

We enjoyed it very much. Condo was clean, roomy, and had a great view of the ocean. Pool was great as well; we enjoyed it very much. Went to Duvall St. to get a feel for the island, since we hadn't been here since 2010. All in all. we had a great time.

Great views and pools
What we loved: the heated supersized pool and hot tub by the ocean! Amazing. Can’t beat it. Pool area is quiet and peaceful and just lovely, though the pool area closes at 10pm. Spectacular view of the ocean! What we didn’t love so much: lots of maintenance issues to the property…elevator broke down, a/c didn’t work, pest control showed up out of the blue….the porch was really dirty so we didn’t go out there much. The beach area is full of debris and glass apparently from a past flood, so you will need to go to one of the adjacent beaches. Smathers beach is also currently under construction so it’s really loud and has bad air from the construction vehicles. Also…10am checkout. Thats way too early for those of us who like to sleep in on vacation. Also, the second bedroom has a floating wall so there’s no sound barrier to the living room. The place was super clean and safe which is why we gave it a 4. And the location is awesome. The whole property is just a little dated. Overall, it’s a great stay. We had a nice vacation and loved Key West!

Great condo with amazing ocean views
The views are even better than the photos. If you value being able to stare out at the ocean from your coach or out on the lanai you cannot go wrong. We really enjoyed the location as it was only a few minute bike, or 5 minute walk to beautiful Smather's Beach. We rented bikes and it was 10 a minute ride to Duval Street. Riding back and forth either on the coast or through the neighborhoods was a ton of fun. The pool and hot tub were a big hit with the kids and the adults alike. The condo is nice and shaded in the morning to drink your coffee or eat breakfast on the patio. It gets quite sunny and warm in the afternoon if you want to lay out on comfy lounge chairs. The covered parking was a big plus. Tennis courts looked nice and people were playing but we did not use them. It is a great condo if you want those ocean views!

Great property
This condo had everything we needed, was super clean and had a lovely view of the ocean and pool. The pool was a nice size although a tad on the chilly side, but still enjoyable. My only complaint would be the king size bed in the master bedroom. I found it uncomfortably firm, but then again, that’s personal preference. Would definitely recommend this property.

Anniversary & our 50th & 60th Birthday
It was absolutely perfect. The view, pool, condo everything was wonderful. I would go every year if I could and would love to stay for 2 weeks instead of 1. The only thing I would change is the directions were confusing and when I called security they seemed as if I was bothering them. We we’re on the right floor but the numbers are in the door knocker and not clear. There’s signs on some condos that are rentals and others not so you see those numbers before you realize the numbers are engraved in the gold door knocker. I would have to make it more noticeable. W wouldn’t mention anything about the west side because that made it confusing especially since security acted like he did. I called just to get clarification and he acted as if I should have known and really never answered me, it took us figuring it out and then he was like yeah!! As far as the condo it was perfect. Thank You

Ready to experience Key West
Property was in a great location. Less thn 2 miles from the airport, overlooking the ocean/beach and easy access to Duvall and downtown. Pool area and gardens were very nice and always clean. Property showing its age in some areas and elevators and hallways were very warm. Our unit was ok, but 2nd bedroom never got cool enough to sleep comfortably and the decor was way dated (think late 80s early 90s). Didn’t feel it was worth the price. To be fair, the owner did reach out and drive down from Miami to check on the air and did get a little better but still uncomfortable. Overall disappointed with my selection on this one.
