Al O.
Marlborough,, MA, United StatesCondo was good.., BUT....
Left on 02/25/2013 for a stay in February 2013
The condo itself was good but there are a couple things that could be done or on hand to go just that little bit further.
1) There should be more than just 4 bath towels in the condo, especially since there were 4 of us.
2) Beach towels on hand would be nice.
3) There was a horrible smell upon opening the condo when we first arrived and it was there off and on again during out stay. It smelled like a bad drain to me and I believe it got worse when we were doing laundry. It definitely needs to be looked at, very bad.
Condo itself was completely fine other than what I've stated. I'd stay again and just hope that they've resolved the bad drain smell for good. The pool was nice for the late afternoon dip.Response from Key West Vacation Properties and Realty LLC - 02/25/2013

Great location
Left on 12/26/2012 for a stay in December 2012
Very easy check-in at the property management office. Major drawbacks - 5 people in unit but only 2 sets of keys. Only 1 parking space and no street parking anywhere nearby. Had to leave one car at management office which was on the other side of the island. Unit was in a great location with a super restaurant next door, New York Pasta Garden, with the friendliest servers and great food. The unit furnishings were a little outdated, would have preferred at least a full-sized bed in the second BR instead of 2 twins, but having 2.5 baths was great. Could not use the pull out sofa bed in the living room because the springs were broken and mattress was stained, reported this to the management company. Very nice pool area. Would like to rent at this complex again maybe in another unit.

We love the property management company and loved the condo. It was huge! Loved having the space. The pool was great. It was in a nice location - not far from the craziness on duval, but far enough away that it didnt' keep u up all night. Thanks for the great stay.

Left on 04/30/2012 for a stay in April 2012
We had a fantastic time. We really liked the security of the place. The location for us was perfect--close enough to walk everywhere, but, far enough from the hustle and bustle of Duval St.--the closer you got to Mallory Square. We are already looking forword to coming back and hopefully bringing more people with us. Thank you so much for a wonderful time. Melrose

Brenda K.
Leeds, Yorkshire, United KingdomSpacious condo in a great location
Left on 04/27/2012 for a stay in April 2012
This condo had every we needed for our short stay in Key West.
It was spacious and confortable - I was hesistant at first as the photos on the web site are not very flattering. But when we arrived everything was up to scratch.
The outside terrace on the ground floor has the aircon unit installed on it so it was not very usable, but this was no major problem.
We did not try the shared pool.
We were in Key West and made the best of the fantastic position of the condo on the quieter end of Duval street.
No need for the car, happily parked in the private gated lot.
We walked every where and made the best of our stay. -
Rochester, NY, United StatesBMW Fantasy Review
Left on 04/24/2012 for a stay in April 2012
Very good experience. Major problem was only having two keys. We had 5 people staying - 2 couples and a single. Made it very difficult to plan. Also there was no internet which might be a dealbreaker for a second stay. Also, it was a little difficult to find when we first arrived. We couldn't find the entrance from Duval Square downstairs. Otherwise it was very clean and worked out very well for our stay. Laundry was a great feature. Location was good - on Duval Street, but away from the noise. We had a good time. Thank you!

Great Location, Solid Value
Left on 04/06/2012 for a stay in April 2012
The house is just off of Duval, close enough to walk the "Duval Crawl" easily but far enough away that you don't hear the party on the street while you're trying to sleep. The parking garage is super convenient! The property is also very close to several sites... the lighthouse, Hemingway House, South Beach, etc. The only things we drove to were the dock where we chartered fishing/dive boats (because it was back up at the North end of the island) and Ft Zachary Taylor State Park. We probably could have walked to the park but it was easier to drive it. The unit itself was clean and comfortable. Our only "complaint" for the week was the lack of a broadband connection. Not having internet access for a week was a bit frustrating. (There is an internet cafe right around the corner but that's not the ideal solution.)

BMW FANTASY MARCH 7-10, 2012
Left on 03/20/2012 for a stay in March 2012
We very much enjoyed our stay here, and plan on returning. Perfect location, beautiful grounds and pool - seems as though you are living in a tree house, which we loved. Only complaint would be pick-up/return of keys - not at all convenient. It was a $40 taxi ride to pick up keys and, if my brother-in-law were not a runner, it would be another $40 taxi ride to return the keys. Should be a lock box outside unit. Other than that, we enjoyed this condo very much.

This is the second year we stayed in this property. We found it to be the ideal location. Quiet yet within walking distance to almost everywhere you would want to go. We also have our favorite places to go which are close by. The New York Pasta Company, The Rum Bar and LaTeDa to name a few.

Riverton, UT, United StatesOK Rental, Needs a good cleaning, maintenance, and upgrades.
Left on 02/19/2012 for a stay in February 2012
Having stayed at other VRBO's and timeshares, we had an expectation of what this unit should be like, and were disappointed. I have read reviews about the floors of a hotel/condo being so dirty that it turned your feet black, but I never experienced it until staying at this unit. You would think tile floors would be easy to keep clean. The unit is adequate, but outdated and getting run down. Lots of things need fixing. Definately not the standard we were expecting. We also had difficulty in locating the unit our first night of arrival. I called the cell phone for Property Management and was met with a very curt "What's your emergency?" Once I explained our issue, we were given satisfactory information.
On the good side, the location was great, the complex, parking and common areas are secure and safe. We also thought the master bed was comfy. Washer and dryer look pretty new, and the unit was well stocked with pots, pans, and even had a slow cooker.
Until they start cleaning, updating, and maintaining this unit, I would not recommend it.Response from Key West Vacation Properties and Realty LLC - 02/27/2012

Thank you for your feedback of BMW Fantasy. We are pleased with your positive remarks. The dirty floor problem has been corrected by instruction and training. The "outdated and getting run down" comment was discussed with the owners of the unit and because the space has been booked through the season, it was decided to evaluate this after April. This communication will remain a part of your rental history file and will be available for review in the future.

Arthur C
FairfieldGreat first condo rental experience
Left on 01/22/2012 for a stay in December 2011
I decided to vacation in Key West over New Year's eve. Little did i know that it was the most expensive time of the year to stay. After exhaustive research, I choose this property. I had never rented a condo before, and was someway apprehensive. My fears were for naught. The property is located in the quiet part of Key West. There is a secure parking garage with assigned parking under the complex, which is a nice perk. There is also an elevator, which saved a lot of hassle when it came to luggage and groceries. The unit is located next to a small shopping area and a block away from a 24 hour CVS; very convenient.
The kitchen was nicely equipped, and the decor quite nice. The balcony overlooks a courtyard with a couple cockatiels and parrots, quite amusing. It was very clean, the bedding was fresh, and there were even beach towels in one of the closets. All the appliances worked well, and it really felt like a home away from home. There is a Japanese restaurant and a cigar and wine store in the courtyard; I strongly recommend both (try the scallop sushi).
So to summarize, clean, comfortable, great location, and a bargain. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
The only problem is I suspect my expectations for future condo rentals may be a little high. -

This is a nice condo in a great location. We (two couples) had a very nice stay. One BR (theirs) was much nicer than the other (ours). I had to take care of a few minor maintenance items. There was no housekeeping service during our stay - but it wasn't really needed.

Fairfield, PA, United StatesA nice, private hideaway
Left on 01/04/2012 for a stay in January 2012
This was my first experience staying in a condo when on vacation and I must say, I'll do it again. The property is very well situated near some nice restaurants and a 24 hour convenience store. It is on the far end of Duval Street, so you have peace, but quick access to the crazy parts of Key West, too. The propoerty itself was clean, well equipped, comfortable and had nice balconies. My only problem was a musty smell when you first entered which dissipated when the place got aired out a little. It was light and airy, the beds were comfortable, and the balconies were much better situated than some on other units. There is a rooster who will wake you up on occasion, and as an added bonus, a couple of cockatiels and macaws living in the courtyard. They were fun. Aces all around, I would stay here again.

Thanks for everything. -
Lexington, KYA good one
Left on 06/01/2011 for a stay in May 2011
The condo's location, condition & cleanliness are very good ... let us add some other insights:
* There are 2 very useful retail outlets within 100 yards, CVS Pharmacy & Circle K. These outlets have additional items over their other counterparts that are geared for traveller's needs ... one stop shopping places & CVS is open 24 hrs
* A Post Office type retail outlet is also on the Duval Square property.
* The property managers need to inform the guests that an elevator is on site. Initially, we did not know this & toted our baggage up the stairs. (the info on the websites did not make it clear that the 1st floor is a secure parking garage, & the condos are all on the 2nd floor ... and the condos are 2 story).
* There are 2 decks on each of the floors ... this is a nice amenity.
* The 2nd floor of the condo is actually a 3rd floor setting (given the 1st floor parking garage); the master bedroom is has vaulted ceilings. Nice, but in 90 degree weather, it may be difficult to cool in some condos ... the owners of this condo have an additional window A/C unit to help keep the room cool. Also there is a ceiling fan that aids in the cooling ... however, if you operate the fan on 'high' it's the vibration causes the fan blades to hit the triangulation portion of the ceiling; so we kept it at 'low'
* The 1st floor is secure with locked gates; but be aware of guests that put tape & such over the lock engagement slots to allow no-key access.
* A note to condo management, I took our trash down to the parking garage bin & found numerous recycling bins for glass, cardboard, cans, etc. Had I known of this setup with a better info sheet, I would've better separated this material before pitching it all in 1 trash bag. Also, the containers in the garage need a better identification tags or labels for a correct recycle sort. -

Excellent Stay with my wife and Friends
Left on 05/16/2011 for a stay in May 2011
The property was absolutely perfect for our stay in Key West. The location was exactly what we were looking for. Right on Duval Street and about 1/2 mile from Mallory Square. The room was exactly what we were looking for and for the price definitely beat staying in a hotel. All the comforts of home only none of the responsibilities. Since it was my wife and her two frineds having 2 bedrooms with 2 1/2 baths was a necessity. Also, being able to cook breakfast in the place was a nice option instead of dining out. The parking was gated and so was the community so you never had to worry about safety. If I had to pick one thing to complain about it might be that the community pool area didn't seem to be kept as nice as it could have been but it was still nice to lounge by a private pool after a night of dancing and drinking. Overall it was a fantastic place to stay. Hope to do it again.

Left on 03/29/2011 for a stay in March 2011
Six of us stayed in the unit and it fit our needs wonderfully with the two bedrooms and a sofa bed plus two and half baths. The location was great we were near the action but far enough away from the noise of spring break. The only issue we had was with the dishwasher it had stinking standing water in it but the renting agent was very helpful in solving the problem.

We arrived late on a Saturday and had lots of trouble checking in due to difficulties in finding the complex and using the keys provided. That said, once we were able to enter the condo, we loved it! Terrific location, very roomy, only complaint we had was the quality of the bedding. Personally, I loved the morning rooster calls!

Havre de Grace, MarylandWe loved our stay...
Left on 10/23/2010 for a stay in October 2010
We loved our stay since it was easy access to all of our activities. It is located closer to the ocean, than the gulf... so many of our activities required a lot of walking, which we did not mind.
This property was very well maintained and quiet location. Parking is a premium so we loved the idea of a private parking garage with easy access to the street and the apartment.
