The location and size were as advertised. However the hot tub had a bit of a smell and did not heat up, one of the bedroom windows, bottom left, was completely rotted with possible mold. There were also 2 cockroaches that we saw. Possibly in through the rotted window or the rotted out spots in the floor in the hall.

Thank you for your valuable feedback, Dakota. We are disappointed to hear the home was not up to the high standard of guest satisfaction that we hold ourselves to. We have provided your feedback to our local manager. The home does have routine pest control; however, we are going to work with the vendor to reevaluate the current schedule. We have hired a new hot tub vendor who has made the necessary repairs. We are currently replacing the window and window sills. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope we have the chance to impress you in the future!

Could have been better
Our overall stay was good. But some items that need to be addressed, the hot tub water was very dirty. the microwave did not work and the A/C was to high to adjust temperature. For the amount of money we paid this unit is in need of updating

Comfortable
Great placed for adults but not with a family with children. The bedrooms were nice but the sitting area for family gatherings was small. There was one couch and one chair. Overall it was in walking distance to Duval street and local restaurants.

Good Bargain
This was a great place to stay in Key West. The price was great compared to other properties. Only a block away from Duval. I wouldn't recommend using the pull-out couch as a 3rd bed. We brought an air mattress and placed it on the think couch mattress. Very clean.

Easy access to anything you could want in Key West! Easy to find, nice to have a parking spot although the neighbors blocked us in. Would recommend!

Had cute charm and close enough to action but was not the standard we expected nor the $$
Upon arriving we really loved the cute charm of the house. However knobs were missing from drawers, some of the drawers were falling out of the cabinets. The place was mostly clean; our feet were dirty from walking around inside the house bare foot. The hot tub was flat out disgusting. Gross green foam dried all around the walls of it; Cloudy water, and debris in the hot tub. After waking up from our first night there; we were outside drinking coffee on the patio and a stranger walked in the back yard and started messing with the hot tub and then another climbing on the roof of the house with no warning or acknowledgement that we were back there as well as flying a drone over the house area. We had early check in available for free and late check out available this stuff could of been done when people were not visiting on vacation we paid to enjoy and have privacy while we were there. We were also told there would be a space on the road for parking. Yet there was not any available. We did not need the space luckily; and were able to park our golf cart behind our car in the other designated parking space. Coffee pot leaked EVERYWHERE. It smelled musky in the house which I understand happens with old homes however this was coming from the a.c's, that didn't really cool very well. Someone came and sprayed the house while we were out to help with the smell I guess and again another intrusion on our privacy and our paid time in the keys. The Tv in one of the bedrooms you could not get to work. There was also black mold along the bottom of the shower.

Just what we were looking for!
This cottage was perfect for our weekend getaway. It is one block away from Duval St. which was great for us because everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. We will definitely be back.

Charming House in Convenient Location
We enjoyed our stay in this charming home. It is on the small side but worked well for our group of four people. The turndown service was an unexpected surprise.

Beautiful home, lousy bed
Everything was really nice about this home, but the mattress in the middle room is horrible. As a travel professional I spend 2-3 nights a week in a hotel and this was by far, the most uncomfortable bed I have ever been in. I did not really get the nice deep sleep due to a overused mattress. Great in all other ways but what I consider the most important aspect of a place to sleep was a complete failure. I would recommend somewhere else for the cost. Or - the owner/management should be more diligent towatd their patrons comfort.

We apologize that sleep was hard to find for this guest. Mattresses are so difficult because they are so subjective, but we will keep our ears open for more comments about dissatisfaction with the mattress.
