This place was comfortable and fabulous and the owner very nice!
Location could not have been better. The only negative was the live music next door, which was nice until bedtime if you were in the master. Lots of balconies and space for everyone to read, sun bathe or just sit and people watch on Duval. More...

Nice but really loud
We read the reviews and no one told us that the place is right next door to Willie T's, An outdoor bar with some of Key West's worst musicians. What they lose in pitch, they make up in volume. For our entire stay we were treated to horrible solo acts in the afternoons between 1 and 5 that were loud enough to overpower headsets on IPods on the deck. Every evening the show starts around 7 tor 8 and does not stop until 12am. If you are coming to party it is no big deal, but as mush as we enjoyed the nightlife it is a bit annoying when you have to leave your house every night or listen to that crap. Be clear, the master bedroom that is as nice as the pictures, shares a wall with the bar and the speakers are pointed right at it making it unusable between 1pm and 12am. There is virtually no wifi internet because you can't get on it. The woman from AHKW said that because there is no password to the wifi, everyone on Duval and at the bar can use it! This is stupid and unsafe. We informed the owner and AHKW on Monday about the wifi and that the outside lights for the stairs did not work. The owner said an electrician would fix it, but they never worked the entire stay.
On the positive side, the finished fixtures are top of the line. The best thing about this place was the private roof deck which was great for sunning, the pictures do not do this justice. The kitchen was gourmet and we loved using it, but it is time for some new pots and pans.
I would make clear that I think this place is a great choice if you are not bothered by being right next door to a really loud bar. If you find this a problem, don't stay here. I wish one of the flip key or trip advisor reviewers would have told me about the proximity to Willie T's before I shelled out over $7k so I will do it for all to do with as they wish. More...

Friends B-Day
I just want to say that everyone in our party totally loved the house. Plenty of room for everyone. Since the house is right beside Wille T's we had free entertainment nightly and when we closed the sliding glass doors the noise went away. Hopefully this house will be available during fanatasy fest because we will be there. More...

Great House, Annoying Neighbors, and Unacceptable Parking
We rented this property for four nights in august. The owner uses at Home in Key West to manage the property and handle the rental agreements. I dealt with Gale and she was very friendly and professional. As this was my first time using a vacation rental, I was not used to having to pay a $500 deposit in cash. Even though I had to sign a contract that said the deposit would be returned within 4 to 6 weeks, she assured me that the money is returned promptly. Stopping and picking up the key was quick and easy.
We chose a house instead of a hotel because we were traveling as a large group. Eight in total, two couples and my four college aged nephews. The spacious living room is great for hanging out with a group. The high-end kitchen is a cook’s dream, with incredible Viking appliances and just about everything you need to prepare breakfast or even a gourmet dinner. The only dining table is outside on a patio. Dining el fresco is probably delightful during January but not so much during humid august. We did have to purchase ice because the icemaker does not work very well. The little grocery store, Fausto’s, just across the street is super convenient.
There are three bedrooms and two full baths and one half bath. The two bedrooms upstairs share a bathroom with a nice big double sink and large shower. The bedrooms are comfortable with decent linens and pillows. The mattresses are average. There is plenty of lighting and lots of storage in the large closets. We put the boys in the master bedroom on the main level. Access to the balcony over Duval Street is through the bedroom. The master bath is well done with high-end fixtures. The boys enjoyed their accommodations.
The little pool is nice enough. Although it was a little less appealing after we found a homeless guy swimming in it early one morning! He apologized politely and swiftly ran away.
The location is ideal for seeing the Key West sites and enjoying the night life. We didn’t even have to leave the comfort of the house to enjoy the madness. There is live music at the bar next door from about noon until at least midnight. The front balcony allows unlimited people watching.
The parking situation is unacceptable. The lease includes one parking spot in front of the second house on the property. One spot for a house that accommodates eight people! But worse, there is nowhere to pay and park if you bring another car. There’s a lot right across the street for permit parking only. It remained a mystery where one could get a permit! Of course, we had two cars. It was incredibly annoying to find parking for the second car. At least we had one spot…until our last night; a group arrived to rent the other house. They thought their house got both parking spots and promptly had our car towed! Luckily my nephews noticed our car was gone when the renters were still moving their things. We went and got the car back quickly before the towing company had time to damage or strip the car. Then we had to drive around for a good half hour looking for a spot to park the car over night.
The response from Gale at the property management company was exactly as it should have been. She appeared genuinely shocked and concerned. She apologized and promised to take care of the $230 towing charge. Within an hour, she called to tell me that at Home in Key West would send me a check for $155 and that the towing company would refund $75 to my credit card. Two days later, she emailed that both the refund and deposit checks were mailed. I received the checks four days later. The towing company has yet to make the refund but I disputed the charge and have confidence in my credit card company.
In summary, the property is good for a large group with one car! I don’t think I will rent vacation property again…I like staying in a hotel with helpful staff. More...

Best Location In Town
This property is probably the best location in town. It is a small walk to any attraction including the nightlife, Hemingway House, marina, and dozens of great dining spots. The beach is further away, but not out of reach by bike. The check in/ check out procedure was easy. Parking was scarce, but that is the situation throughout the island. We had a great time. More...

Wedding Fun
I used this rental to sleep 6 guests and it was nice and spaciuos with each couple having a room for privacy. The Master was perfect for getting ready on my wedding day with my bridesmaids, mom and sister. Good party house, great balcony views. More...

Duval Street Fun
We traveled as a group of six and the house seemed to fit us perfectly. It really was even better than we would have hoped. The balcony overlooking Duval was a great way to spend the end of the night and the sun deck was a great place to have a cup of coffee in the morning. As far as location goes you couldn't ask for anything better. Right across the street from Margaritaville and a Starbucks, and in the heart of Key West. More...

Absolutely the Best Location
I have to say this property is the best location you could have in Key West if you want the Duval Experience. We came down to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday with our grown children...party of 8. The property was perfect for all our needs. We were greeted right away if any questions or concerns. No vehicle needed; close to all restaurants, entertainment, grocery store, drug store and banking. Back entrance to the property, which I really did like for privacy factor. We felt very safe at all times. I thought the pool was small but it was very quaint and ended up working out just perfect. At Home in Key West were wonderful to work with on our reservation and very helpful throughout our entire trip. We had a wonderful time...highly recommend this property and hope to return again.

Incredible Penthouse!!
We happened upon this penthouse after the original house that we rented was less than desirable! We were completely "wowed" by this property! Everything was absolutely perfect! The artwork and decor was amazing and the entire house was clean and very well furnished! The location was prime and the management was very nice to work with. We really loved this place and would definitely recommend this place to our family and friends! It's the perfect Key West getaway! More...

Great houses in a great location.
Great houses that are in a great location. The houses are beautifly done and the Duval Condo is really incredible. Be aware that it is on Duval and is very loud at night, but if you are comfortable with that it is a great place to stay. A great house for entertaining.
