About this property

Papaya Place by AvantStay | Great Location w/ Shared Pool & Hot Tub!

This great 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, Key West condo located at 1800 Atlantic Condominiums offers you a wonderful relaxing garden view overlooking the nature preserve. While the condo does not have an ocean view, the large heated swimming pool and Jacuzzi look right over the Atlantic Ocean.

The open living area flows from the full kitchen into the dining and living areas which exude an old Key West style. Sliding glass doors open to the balcony and sitting area overlooking the nature preserve.

The primary bedroom has a king size bed and a large en suite full bathroom. The second bedroom has two twin beds with a full bathroom across the hall. The balcony runs the full length of the condo with access from both the living room and the second bedroom.

The condo offers free WIFI, 3 flat-screen TVs, a brand new smart TV in the living area and primary bedroom, and expanded cable for those who still want to connect with the rest of the world. The condo looks over the nature preserve while the condo complex is situated on the Atlantic Ocean. There is a shared BBQ area, an Olympic size saltwater pool, Jacuzzi, clay tennis courts, and access to the gym with cardio and weight resistance machines.

Located about 1.5 miles from downtown, just a quick bike ride to downtown Key West shopping, restaurants, and bars. 1800 Atlantic is located right next door to Smather's Beach within walking distance of the condo where you can rent paddle boards, kayaks, beach chairs, and umbrellas.

Key West is the place to visit the lively nightlife and relax in the historic charm, flamboyance, and conch-style architecture that early Bahamian settlers made famous. It embodies a clash of the past and the present, and every building (including this rental) in Key West reflects this eclectic ambiance!

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team. Whether it’s fridge stocking or in-home massages, AvantStay offers a variety of upgrades & experiences to enhance your stay.

Staying near Smathers and Higgs beach worked for us. A short commute to town each evening was easy , and a good trade from staying downtown.

Comfortable & Pleasant Stay

Stayed between Christmas and New Year's. Place was clean, comfortable but a little removed from Old Town (which is both good and bad). It was nice not to be in the middle of a crowded area but definitely need to drive to get to restaurants and other attractions. Helps that parking is included. Overall a good place to stay.

Good location right by Smathers beach. Huge balcony, nice pool and hot tub on premises. The unit does need a bit of an update, especially the master bath, but was overall a great place for our family.

Nice complex, great location, very clean

Complex was nice, beautiful gardens and pool. Was great to have beautiful views of the ocean from the pool. Shower on master bath was quite interesting, but served it’s purpose. Furniture and decor was a bit outdated for our tastes, but condo was very clean. This made us feel comfortable especially during COVID times ! The parking space in the security garage was a huge plus. Having a washer and dryer in the condo was super convenient to do some laundry mid trip.

It was in need of some work.

Papaya Place was bad. It needs updating. Cabinet doors were all hanging, dirty dishes, dirty, cracks in the front door, all bi-fold doors need adjusting, pictures online were decieving.

Pros and cons

Property was listed on a small, private, beach...which it wasn’t. It was mainly just a little sand pad, you couldn’t actually access the ocean from the place. That being said, the pool area is beautiful. Property is kind of outdated, but clean enough. It was overpriced for us...because it sleeps 6. I paid more though for the “beach” so that was a bummer. Thankfully there are so nice beaches close by. The booking agency was nice enough about the listing not being fully accurate. A lot of good restaurants nearby. We had a nice time!
