We all had such a great time. Very clean cute 2 bedroom 2 bath house. In a very quiet neighborhood. We loved the pool area the best. Beautiful palm trees and flowers surround the pool area. The host Rick was a great neighbor. Very helpful with information on beaches and where to go for a great meal.

The house had a smell that got into our clothes and luggage. Very musty. But we had a very nice time, pool was nice and the walking distance to duval was great. Owners live next door and are very nice.

The host, Roberta, was amazing. Very responsive. That’s probably the best part of this VRBO. The cottage was very dated, beds extremely uncomfortable (we had to buy a foam topper to help), there is not a Keurig or a dishwasher. Fan in master bath falling from ceiling and didn’t work. It’s good for 2 adults and a child….seating is limited. Location is good; Duval is accessible by walking but I would recommend a bike or golf cart. Washer/dryer is a very small stackable. Most of the blinds were bent/broken. No table and chairs….bar with 4 stools. Kitchen appliances were very old. The pool is very small and the area around it is extremely narrow. You cannot put 2 lounge chairs side by side. I don’t think we would stay at this VRBO again.

The carriage house was perfect. It was clean and had great amenities. We used the beautiful pool! The kitchen is well stacked. Having a full refigerator was awesome! They had it stacked with soap, shampoo, paper towels. All sorts of cooking utensils available. Having the washer and dryer was so helpful! Location is perfect!! Easily can walk anywhere you need to get. Roberta sent all needed info to check in. We loved it there and hope to return!!

We really enjoyed our stay and plan to book again next time we visit the FL Keys. The cottage was clean and comfortable, and close to everything we wanted to do. My family also really enjoyed the pool, it was a perfect way to cool down after outdoor activities.

Had a nice stay at this spot, a few blocks from Duval street and the trolley. So nice to have the pool to come home to after a busy day. Air conditioning worked great, well stocked kitchen, and having laundry was a plus. A bit dated, but fine. I would stay here again. Carol and Tim. Rockport, ma

Great Key West Stay
My aunts, mom and I had a great stay. The rooms were spacious, allowing plenty of space for the 5 of us to spread out. Roberta and the owner were very kind. I am hoping to get my husband to come back for a visit with me.
