Margarita Cottage

The room was small but perfect for us! The backyard and pool are amazing! Just a short walk to Duval! The only thing I would change/add is some hooks on the back of doors to hang our towels!

Not quite as advertised

The cottage was cute but it was advertised as a “one bedroom” and was really just a studio. There was no door between the kitchenette and the bed. The patio and the pool were nice and the front porch was a nice bit of extra space. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and I was very bothered by the mold on the bottom of the shower curtain but the area was safe and it was just a short walk to shops and restaurants. The only air conditioner was in the kitchenette area and it could not be set to less than 73’ per the rules so the bedroom got warm. There is a ceiling fan which helps to cool the area down but for people who don’t like to sleep with a fan on at a high speed this could be an issue.

Tropical oasis

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Margarita cottage! Central location, easy to get all over the island, and love all of the tropical plants around the pool. Unfortunately while we were there the heater in the pool was not working and was fixed for our last day.

Very clean and comfortable. Just far enough away of the wild town to be quiet at night but close enough to enjoy

Awesome stay

Overall we enjoyed ourselves ,the house was great, the mattress was horrible, they need to invest in a good one (like the wink plus or purle mattress or avocado) for the price you expect comfort. But otherwise awesome place. Great location and cute house.

Great Location

Very easy to get around the island walking, but I would rent a bike, it is a game changer. El Siboney and Cafelito’s are both great places for lunch/ dinner, and breakfast and coffee. Both of these places are very close to the VRBO. The back yard was very nice, and the pool was great. Excellent time in Key West, and thankful this host made it possible.

Cute little cottage

Great stay, convenient to have a kitchen. Close to Duvall and other activities. We loved the outdoor patio…very secluded with all of the lush, beautiful foliage. Would only recommend upgrading some of the kitchen basics and adding a cushion on the bed. Other than that, we had a great time.

Quiet location, walking distance to most everything...

The office staff was very helpful, saving us half the cost for transportation by recommending using taxis instead of Uber. The cottage was clean and just as described. Even though we stayed during a December rainstorm, the pool was clean and warm enough to swim in. The cottage is centrally located and we were able to walk to anything we wanted to see in less than 20 minutes, and Duval was only a few blocks away. Most people will just eat out as there are tons of good places, but for those like us who need to cook, there was only 1 large and 1 small teflon sauce pot and a cookie sheet. There is an assortment of utensils, but prep knives were limited and only 2 sets fork/spoon/knife. We added a medium sauce pan to the collection and the Publix has anything you might need to cook with if needed. We would come back if we return to Key West.

Thanksgiving

Cute cottage close to Duval in old town. Very convenient. Used the pool, quiet and comfortable. Very happy with our stay. Recommend the Cuban coffee down Catherine street and lunch from Cuban restaurant across the street.

Key West getaway

We enjoyed this small, quaint vacation rental. Relaxing front porch with 2 rockers, nice open rear deck with table/chairs and a gas grill overlooking a shared pool area. Exceptionally clean. Accomodating owner. Very close to an exceptional family owned Cuban restaurant. Enjoyable stay which we will revisit.

Enjoyable

The week went great! Quiet location (except for the friendly Key West Roosters… :) They we’re up extra early every morning. Duval and the entertainment scene was walkable, and the Cuban restaurant on the corner was the best deal in town. - staff was very friendly and helpful when I had questions, and even shipped some items to me that we left behind. - we would definitely stay again!
