Great Location
This place was in a perfect location. It was a easy walk to Duval and to many of the bars and restaurants. The operating manager responded quickly to a couple of minor issues that we had. I would definitely stay there again.

Wedding Time
We attended a friends wedding with 6 of us staying at the Southernmost Retreat. Great central location close to everything, plenty of room in the cottage for all of us and ice cold air conditioning for that hot Key West weather. We had a great time and would stay again.

Key West getaway
This was in the perfect location: not too far from Mallory Square or the buoy. Close to Duval yet in a quieter neighborhood. Parking is an issue but it was pointed out before we booked the trip so we were prepared. We loved it! We would stay there again and also highly recommend it to other travelers! A+

Excellent location for downtown and beach.
Location is so important and this VRBO has an excellent location. We walked or took short Uber rides everywhere we wanted to go- and we could easily come back for a quick lunch or nap in the middle of the day. Parking was competitive but we always got something within three blocks, as we have people in our family with NYC skills 😂. One of the 3 BRs is small and more like a front room/entrance converted to a BR but we made it work and very much appreciated the rarity of having a place with 2 bathrooms.

Great location
The property was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed having coffee and people watching in the morning from the front patio. It was only a few blocks to Duval St. where there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. The property is centrally located, so we were able to walk to everything. The main reason we went to Key West, was to celebrate my 70th birthday. I informed the owner of this and I was surprised to see a Birthday card and balloon. It was a nice touch. I would definitely book this property again.

So Very Convenient
This was our first family vacation which included our son in law. The set up was perfect the adult children took the rooms with the queen beds and shared the bath; my husband and I took the smaller room with the full bed and enjoyed our ensuite. It was so close to Duvall Street that everything was easily accessible, but not so close that we were disturbed by the noise. We will definitely stay there again if we have that many people. There was a problem with the smoke detector one night, but Nancy was quick to respond, and the problem was easily resolved.

3 couples stayed in Key West for one fun night. While the property unit we stayed in was small and strangely laid out, it was clean and was perfectly located. Fit the bill for what we needed. We had easy & fast responses from the property manager as well.

Nice clean small cottage. Location was perfect if you want to be on Duval St. awesome little Cuban Coffee shop right around corner. We had 6 adults and we fit fine. I wouldn’t plan to cook much, no real table or place it eat but there are a lot of great places near by. Parking is a little tight, we had to park a couple blocks away to start but just watch for someone to move and go get car. We ended up parking right in front later that night.

Location and walk ability was good.
The condo is within walking distance to everything in Old Town which was our first priority. It’s small and the layout is a bit chopped up. There really isn’t enough seating inside for four people but there is outside furniture that will seat everyone. We realized the refrigerator wasn’t keeping our food cold after we went shopping and ended up having to throw food out. The property manager Nancy was very responsive and brought in a temporary well worn mini frig until the new frig was delivered. There were a couple of other issues like the neighbor in the unit behind us smoking outside so we couldn’t use the back patio, and also probably inside because the smoke alarms went off twice in our unit late at night. Even with these issues we still enjoyed our stay in Key West.

LOCATION LOCATION
This rental is in the perfect place. It was very clean. It had drawbacks. No place to gather and have a meal together. No way to sit and watch a little TV to wind down IF the TV in the main room worked. Overall It was a great place because of the location. They should have information there about the Duval Loop. It is a FREE bus that can be caught in less than 2 blocks and has 18 or so stops all around.
