Excellent stay at this property
This property is located right in the heart of Old Town and yet it is set back off the street and is very quiet at night! The fact that it has parking is a bonus! Our host and her mother were terrific and we had a great stay!

Wonderful Cottage
This cottage was clean and very comfortable. Seemed to be newly renovated throughout. The kitchen has all new appliances. The hosts provided full Xfinity cable to a very large and new Samsung TV as well as very fast X1 wifi. As other reviewers have noted, the cottage is convenient to everything you'll need including Fausto's Food Palace, a very well stocked grocery store, just 4 blocks away. Highly recommended.

Fantasy fest
The location was fantastic, but there was construction next-door and they broke the water supply line.
Fiona had a plumber there within an hour and it was fixed within three they even gave me back $200 off my stay

A lovely bungalow
Everything was as described. The home was clean and very comfortable. It was minimal in decoration, but again, very comfortable. The AC worked extremely well, which was most important for our mid-July trip. I could hear some music in the kitchen from the business behind the house, but it was never an issue in the morning or late evening. The beds were quite comfortable. I agree with other reviewers that the coffee provided was excellent. Location, Location, Location! It was very convenient for all we wanted to do in Old Town. It was 5-8 minute walk to Duvall Street, Mallory Square, and the Sailboat docks (Danger Co. Sunset Sail or Day Sail out to the mangrove keys!) and 10 10-minute walk to Hemingway House. The large parking area at the property was set back from the street and was a lifesaver. Finding an open Old Town parking space on the street would have been a hassle and expensive. Most Old Town-area VRBOs ask you to park on the street- major hassle! The property is set back from the road so it was quiet and you could fit two cars at the property if you needed. You do have to go outside to access the washer and dryer room, but it wasn't a problem. Furthermore, the hosts stocked detergent and dryer sheets and had 4 beach towels and some beach chairs for guest use stored in the laundry room as well. We did have one small plumbing issue with a leaky toilet valve, however one call to the host and it was fixed promptly and very politely. I would definitely stay again!

Convenient Cottage
Loved the little cottage and esp the private parking spot. The cottage had everything we needed and especially the regular sized coffee maker along with a bag of delucious coffee given to us. We wre close to everything, it was quiet at night...it was perfect and we'll definitely be back.
We loved being back in Key West and especially so close to everything we missed.
The very best to the owners and family,

Wonderful place to stay in the heart of Old Town
This cottage is literally a few dozen steps away from the Truman Summer Whitehouse and one block west of Duval street. You can easily walk to all the bars and restaurants along Duval street. We rented a gold cart for the week at the ferry terminal on arrival, but really didn't need it. There is construction on a new dwelling at the front of the property but it really did not affect our going and coming from this property, which is located behind the new construction. Marcela and Hugh were excellent hosts! I am an amateur radio "ham" operator and they allowed me to put up an end fed wire antenna between the front porch of the rental unit and a tree in front of their "office." This was very much appreciated!!! Also, they allowed us to leave our luggage with them when we checked out since our ferry did not leave until 5 pm. We needed a place to store them from 10 am at checkout while we continued to explore Key West before getting on the ferry. Other services for luggage storage range from $6 to $12 per bag, so this was an added bonus! Thank you, Marcela! We can't wait to come back again!

Heart of Key West
A little two bedroom cottage in the heart of old town Key West. It is right around the corner from Duval street yet secluded in the middle of the block. Parking is included. The host greeted us and made us feel at home. The house had everything we needed and was super comfortable.. will definitely be booking this cottage again for future trips!
