Overall it was good, this is an old Florida home. The basic amenities, but the location is great! It is 5 minutes walking from the Southernmost point and right off of Duval. Minor repairs would make the place even better!

Was not expecting the back porch with the hot tub and large dining table, so it was a very pleasant surprise. Adds more living space.

Loved the location! Just off Duval Street within walking distance to anything you'd want on Duval St. (Duval Street is about a mile long and the house is on the upper side about .2 mile from one side and .8 from the end of Lower Duval and Sunset Pier. Amenities were nice. I am happy if a house has hot water and a comfortable mattress which this house does. The poor house has deferred maintenance and lots of prior termite damage but it was clean, comfortable and in a perfect location.

Nice get-away for 2 Moms and 4 College Students

My sister and I rented the place for ourselves and our 4 young adult kids (ranging from 18-21), and we had a very nice time. The AC is not really "central", has free-standing units in 2 of the bedrooms that vent outside, but they are well installed and do the trick, if a bit tricky to regulate the temperature correctly initially. The place is a typical Key West bungalow that feels like some shoeboxes were nailed together, and the back yard is even smaller than expected. Location is great, we did tons of touristy stuff. Having been to Key West previously, met my expectations. 10/10 would rent again, this can absolutely compete with any other typical Key West rental, but it's not posh like a hotel would be.

Great Location, Poor Everything Else

Excellent location. No water pressure in back bathroom shower and unusable kitchen. The furniture, including the beds, were unbelievably uncomfortable to the point of mostly not being able to lounge at all in the house itself. The hot tub was 50% functional. Generally not a nice house considering the cost. I’d recommend finding somewhere much nicer a little further out for the same price or less.

The pictures are very old

The House location is very nice the house is nice but is in desperate need of maintenance. The hardwood floors are horrible. The kitchenette is too small for anything other than making coffee. The back bathroom shower leaks and the shower head was loose. Lots of white paint splattered on the floor in the hallway. The house just needs some work and repairs.

Rough around the edges

The place is in need of some serious TLC. The pictures representing this place are from long ago. The floors were really dirty. The outdoor shower was all rotted out. The jacuzzi cover was really dirty and covered with outdoor debris. Sadly we were disappointed. Honestly if we had seen the property beforehand we wouldn't have paid half of what we had paid.

Great House / Terrible Property Manager

Great house, location and was very clean. The stove did not work, and I was promised a replacement stove which was never delivered. I called every day that we were there and spoke to numerous people who always promised me a call back with an update, but no one ever called back. Still waiting for a call to discuss a satisfactory resolution.

Old house was unhappy

Second time stay with Vacasa, and second time super unhappy. House super old and also old furniture in it. Towels in the bathroom was dirty, some different color. Hot tube was not working and smells bad. Wanted to use it, but decided not to risk with our health. The only positive point was the location.Otherwise I cannot recommend this house. These guys even decided not to put any bottles of water. Overall this guys just doing business, they are not customer oriented and I believe it is Vacasa view of making this business .

April stay

Loved the house itself. Great location. So quiet even being a block off Duval. Bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and the beds were pretty comfy. However, the coffee pot, iron, and hot tub were not working. We reported it to vacasa. The iron was replaced that day, but we got another non-working coffee pot and the hot tub didn't get addressed until halfway through our stay. The house could definitely use some updating as there are some rusted, broken, and dinged up areas, especially in the bathroom. Not having a vacuum or broom and dust pan was also kind of gross because we had no way to sweep up hair, sand, and dirt as the week progresses.
