I've stayed at 605 amelia in the past and was delighted to be able to stay there again. It's location in Old Town was highly desirable to me because it's far enough away from the touristy end of Duval Street, yet is only a block from Duval. Best of all, I liked the privacy the home offers.
The only thing I wasn't happy about was the kitchen telephone. There was too much static in the line and made the phone virtually unusable. More...

The home was great..well furnished. The back yard/pool was very private and nicely landscaped. The service from at Home in Key West was very professional and helpful. We liked everything about the home! More...

Very nice clean house with two nice bedrooms and bathrooms also great outdoor patio space and the heated pool is awsome. The house could have made easily 4 stars but because of the very cheap matrasses on in both bedrooms it gets only 3 Stars.

On one side of the house there is a scrapyard and a builder which have activities who could ruin a nice romantic afternoon but another great things is that the house is only 5 minutes from Duval street.

Due to the scrapyard and the home builder next door and the poor matrasses I believe the house should be rented out for less.

Loved the place vary nice!! the only thing i have to complain about is the cabel tv was out the whole time but from what i was told the whole key was having trouble. What a great place we will be back!! More...

We absolutely loved this place, great location, great pool, etc. The only downfall is there is a scrap yard right next door and they move their heavy machinery at 4:00am until 9:00am. It's not quiet at all. This makes it hard to have the windows open and enjoy the fresh air. We would stay there again because the pluses out weight the minues. Also, the fold out bet is awful, worse then you can imagine. We actually had a person sleep on the hardwood floor to avoid the foldout bed. More...

So the house is a nice place - It needs somethings though. For instance in the living room you have the option for you and one other person to sit on the couch and two additional directors fold up chairs. Functionality fail. The mattresses are not so comfy. Other than that the house is clean and useful. The scrapyard next door you will hear at 7:30 every single day of the week. So if you wanna sleep in, it isn't going to happen. If the purpose of vacation is to get up and go explore - then it can be considered your alarm clock. The location is perfect and the one parking spot is great. Don't drive - Bring your own beach towels because there are stains all over everyone of the beach towels in the house. Average Rental - cute lil place. More...

Amelia home gets five stars for cleanliness, comfort, and location! Beautiful decor, private swimming pool,and easy parking! Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Our family didn't want to leave. Beyond our expectations! Making reservations was a breeze and a friendly staff! Be aware: The house is located right beside a towing yard where they fix electric cars/scooters. Do not worry!Amelia house has plenty of trees, and a fence which provides plenty of privacy for the swimming pool. You can see the towing yard if you look out some of the windows upstairs in the house, but I promise this was not a problem for us. Other reviews on the amelia home were bad because of this towing yard...like awful noise...we only experienced one early morning of loud noise that lasted about ten minutes. We laughed about it! Do not miss out on this wonderful rental because of other bad reviews (because of the towing yard next door). This house is awesome and my family has traveled all over the world and we are very snobby about where we stay! Our favorite hotels are the Four Seasons, Ritz C., etc...so we do not settle for any garbage when it comes to rentals. The house has everything you need, we loved to walk to downtown(about 10 minutes) and we spent wonderful days and nights by the swimming pool. The house was one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed! Couldn't find anything dirty or out of place. Only complaint was the waterfall on the swimming pool didn't run and the underwater swimming pool light wasn't working...other than that..the pool was perfect, clean, and was so relaxing to have our own private pool...other rentals sometimes make you share a pool with others. Thanks for a great stay! More...

The location is fantastic. I stayed with three friends and it was the perfect place for us. The week we were there it was hot! The pool was a welcome respite from this heat. We didn't really have any issues with noise next door.

We did not have any serious issues just some minor bothers that are good to keep in mind. The house is advertised as having wireless and the reality is that unless you are sitting in the kitchen this can be hit or miss with very low connectivity. The router is in the home next door and this caused problems for us in trying to answer some emails and/or even stream our Pandora account by the pool. It's 2011 this should not be a hard problem to fix. Also, the kitchen is not really that well equipped utensil wise, if you are creative (as we were) this won't be a problem. It would have been helpful to have light switches labeled there are still some lights we never really figured out how to turn on and off.

The people at at Home in Key West were really great to work with. I was worried that in my first interactions there was a level of friendliness lacking. However, they responded promptly and directly every time we spoke and even sent someone out to address the Wi-fi issue without success but the attempt was made. In the end we are not looking to be friends with the staff we simply want a trouble free vacation and that is really what we got! So, thank you for your help and a wonderful place to stay on our vacation! We hope others enjoy it as much as we did! More...

Fantastic place- location was very close to just about everything. Only thing that was missing was the waterfall running into the pool, other then that flawless. More...

We will definitely stay here again and are planning to do so in February 2012. We stayed in the amelia house with our daughter, son-in-law and their dog and our dog. We enjoyed the private pool everyday after walking back and forth on Duval Street. We were able to park the car when we arrived and walk to all of the restaurants, bars, and sights, including para sailing, that we wanted to visit. At first we were leary of the big secuity deposit that was required because of the dogs, but we kept the dogs crated when we were out, the dogs are extremely well behaved, and we received the total secuity deposit back. We were pleasantly suprised at how nicely the house was furnished, how clean it was, and how well kept. The free Wifi was another bonus. A great find and we definitely recommend The amelia House and at Home in Key West for any visits to Key West, Florida. More...

The house was beautiful. There were six adults and we really enjoyed our stay. Location was great and we loved the outdoor patio with grill and the little pool. More...

First, the team of at Home Key West was professiona and incredibly responsive.

The property was clean, inviting and comfortable. However, the metal yard next door started before 8am every morning including weekends and was very noisy. For that reason I will not rent that specific property in the future. It's a shame because the townhouse is very lovely, the pool was great, but the noise just too much. More...

our stay was very good.pool was clean. house was well kept. we had a realy good time. one advice is that when you send some one to the house [ fix or clean pool ] let the guest know in advace. More...

We were nervous about our stay due to some reviews, however were pleasantly surprised. The house was adorable, we felt right at home. Their was no noise at all. The agent was beyond quick with response to any concerns. We will stay here again on our next visit and recommend this place to all. More...

The amelia house was a very nice place to stay. Very homey and pleasant. We had a great time and appriciate the stay. I would highly recommend this as a vacation rental to anyone. More...

My wife and I spent a very enjoyable week at 605 amelia for Christmas 2010. The property was meticulously maintained, sparkling clean and is in a very convenient location. I know other reviewers have made negative comment regarding an adjacent commercial property, however, my wife and I enjoyed the morning conversation the workers had every morning while we were having our morning coffee. As a rule, you didn't even know it was there, and it wouldn't negatively influence our return to this gorgeaous property. It was comfortable, tastefully decorated and the gardens were magnificent. The pool was clean and well maintained. The folks at at Home Key West, made this stay easy and painless, special thanks to Gail. We will be back. More...

We had a great time!! We would do it again in heartbeat. Location was excellent, everything was very nearby. More...

We liked the house just fine. We wish it was disclosed that there was a scrap metal/junk yard right next door so that we could have made a more informed decision. The workers were there very early in the morning and woke us up every day early. Had we known this, we would have chosen a different rental home. The only other thing was that we arrived after your office hours and had to make an emergency call to you due to the fact that the wi-fi password for the home was not given to us either prior to or in any of the papers that we got on arrival. Other than those 2 things, we had a very enjoyable stay. More...

Our sales representative Sharon was extremely helpful. The home was very cozy, clean, and looked better than in the picture. The home was two blocks away from Duval Street, but a far from the heart of Duval Street. Overall the expirience at the vacation home was great. The only cleaniess issue was that one of the bed sheets had a huge blood stain so we went ahead and changed the sheets. More...

Booking couldn't have been easier, even with the relatively short notice and odd dates we needed (Tuesday to Monday). Gale Killion was our agent and she was great to work with.

The location of the property was perfect in relation to Duval St. The property itself was very nice but could have used a little TLC in the form of some burned out bulbs replaced and kitchen short on utensils and older coffee maker.

The biggest drawback of the property is the salvage yard right on the other side of the privacy fence. They start early every day and they work 7 days a week. In our case, one day they were trimming trees over their roof from adjacent properties and were standing on the roof of their business which gave them a clear view right down onto the private back yard of our property.

Would we stay at Amelia Home again? We don't know. But we would definitely deal with Gale Killion from At Home In Key West again to rent a home while staying in Key West. It's the only way to really experience Key West. More...

WE HAD LOTS OF FUN! THE PLACE IS LOCATED 5 MNTS WALKING FROM DOWN TOWN, DUVAL STREET WHERE ALL IS HAPPENING. WE WERE LUCKY, LOBSTER MINI SEASON STARTED RIGHT WHEN WE GOT THERE, SO WE WENT FOR IT, AND CAUGHT PLENTY OF IT, WE COOKED THEM IN THE HOUSE GRILL BY THE POOL. THIS HOUSE HAS ALL COMMODITIES, I WILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE! WE GOT MILITARY DISCOUNT, THE NAVY BASE IS CLOSE BY AND THE MARINA IS GREAT! THANKS FOR SUCH GREAT TIME!

Great house for the money. Good location to everything.
Big Problem is next to the house is a metal scrapyard and they start up every morning except Sunday. Just about 6 to 6:30 the banging of tools and thumping from the music is crazy. Across the street is a home improvement guy who starts up the same time.
If you can sleep through anything I would stay here,but if you are a light sleeper or have kids I would find somewhere else. More...

Amelia Home satisfied our discriminating tastes; tastefully decorated, extremely clean and comfortable. The backyard pool area is an oasis with beautiful foliage. The home is well appointed with every-needed amenity. Our one minor maintenance need was handled promptly and efficiently. Thanks to Amanda and Dawn for their professional courtesy. Thanks to Greg Dunbar who made the rental process such a pleasure. Would definitely recommend! A fantastic place to call home while on vacation! More...

We were two couples and two infants. The place was perfect! Walking distance to everything...including drugstore! Also, tastefully decorated! While kids napped in afternoon...parents spent time in backyard pool. Great dinners on patio in evening. Would definately recommend this place. Only drawback...and this is MINOR..is that it is next to a maintenece building which can be a little loud in the morning. We will stay here again! We liked the laundry, and the fact that each bedroom had its own bathroom w/ tub or shower! Very private!! AND...well built...no squeaky stairs! More...

This home was a great way to spend our family vacation together. The porch with a grill and the pool were definitely our favorite part of the house. We were able to save money and cook on the grill and the full kitchen. Being able to eat on the porch at the house was very relaxing. We also spent a lot of time during the day relaxing by the pool. We would highly recommend this house, and hope to stay here again. More...

The home itself is beautiful. Everything described on the website was more than accurate. The only drawback was the business that operates next door from early in the morning to late afternoon. This caused a little more noise than we had hoped for when relaxing by the pool. My wife and I would still stay at this home the next time in Key West because of the home itself and it's location to Duval Street.

It was a convenient location and very clean. There were some issues with an appliance or two and many of the bulbs were blown in the light fixtures (indoors and out). The remotes had dead batteries and the grill was out of gas. It was tastefully decorated and comfortable.

My family decided at the last minute to spend spring break in Key West. Despite the rushed arrangements, we were very lucky in being able to rent the Amelia House. It easily accommodated our family of five and two dogs. We loved the location as it was only a few minutes from Duval St. while still providing the benefits of renting a private home. However, it is the backyard that makes the home truly special. The pool is surrounded by palms and local plants and was our favorite place to rest in between sight seeing and enjoying the wonderful cuisine the island has to offer.

great location, fun pool, can't wait to go back
