UConn women in the house!
We loved this little gem of a house! It has such a warm and welcoming vibe! In our group there were 8 women - all UConn alumni, long time friends - ages 57-60 celebrating those entering their 60s! The location on Duval St is close enough to walk to everything - but hidden behind a taller building that blocks most of the noise! The tall fence and landscaping completely surround the house and invite you to make your own margaritas and spend time lounging together in the heated pool! The outdoor shower is perfectly positioned and highly recommended! The living room space is arranged perfectly with comfortable seating for all to gather while swapping laughter-filled stories! The two ladies who stayed in the twin bed room had to place and access their suitcases in other locations (under the stairs and upstairs) due to that room’s space crunch. This is a very flexible and creative group of women - so this was not a problem. The ladies in this room seemed to be the only ones hearing band music playing into the morning hours. Best to place the guests you know will be out in the bars dancing til the music stops at 4 am in that twin bed room! All beds were comfortable. The upstairs bedroom and bathroom are huge! Some may be concerned about the lack of a bathroom door or shower curtain up there but with our red cup signaling system it was not a problem for us. The kitchen had everything we needed! Plenty of towels! It’s a great house and we highly recommend it!

Perfect stay
The property was exactly as described and pictured. Right off of Duval, but felt excluded and private. The backyard with the heated pool felt like an oasis. 10/10 would stay again!

Perfect loaction on Duval
Had a great first stay at this VRBO. Amazing location, steps from the center of Duval, and yet somehow very secluded and secure tucked down a small alleyway that most people won't even notice. Clean and great amenities. The pool is really nice as well. Pro tip: use Cuban Queen Coffee down the street at Key Lime Square for all of your breakfast and coffee needs. Keys Coffee also nearby, and also excellent. We would love to come stay again, and the staff at Key West Hideaways handles all of the communication and processing - they are an excellent, professional group. Very impressed! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Great location
First time in Key West, spend Christmas with family. Home is in a great location right off Duval Street, but the way it is situated you are isolated from all the crowds and noise. Includes one parking spot at home which is very convenient. House is very nicely decorated and the heated pool was great for a relaxing afternoon, even in December. Highly recommend this home. Also Kevin (owner) was great during check in providing suggestions on local restaurants and placing ice in freezer due to ice maker not working.

Perfect Spot off Duval
Very cute Key West style just as the pictures advertised. Amazing location! In the center of Duval but far enough from the rowdier bars. Note that parking is very limited. Only 1 small spot down a tight alleyway. Research & plan ahead of time for day rates/lots for parking additional cars.

Beautiful, Hidden Gem
This house was perfect! It was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need and if you can’t find it or happened to be low on something, Kevin the owner, was super responsive and would bring it over. The pool was wonderful to relax and cool off by during the day and even at night as the backyard is super private and peaceful with all the string lights and water feature. You would never know this house is right off Duval which makes this house even more special. Definitely a wonderful place to stay at with your family and friends.

Beautiful little Gem
It was a wonderful stay that accommodated all 5 ladies for a girls trip. The proximity to the bars and shops was perfect. We rented a golf cat but didn’t need one because we parked everywhere. It’s such a unique little house and kept up very well. We would definitely stay here again!

Pilar’s
Great location, walking distance to all the good restaurants and bars in duval. House had a nice setup and nice backyard/ patio and pool to relax with friends and socialize. You do get some noise from the surrounding area but it’s nothing crazy and didn’t bother my group. Pool was heated so you could enjoy in the evening hours. Enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Gorgeous Gem!!
This gem is on Duval and in the middle between north and south which is a 10-15 minute walk either way. The space was very open inside and the outdoor space/pool was amazing. We spent a lot of time enjoying the pool which was amazingly clean, great temperature and (what they don’t tell you), the sun hit the pool almost most of the day but still offered some shade in the pool. Great options to pick up food, alcohol and other stuff within walking distance. So glad we switched from our typical hotel stay at the north side of Duval to this amazing space.

Family Vacation
We stayed at Pilar’s Secret with family. The house is beautiful. While the pool is small, it gets lots of sunlight! There is a bar nearby and we could hear the music late into the night. However, we were staying a block off Duvall street so shouldn’t have been surprised. The only problem was parking but definitely manageable.

Hidden on Duval
We were a little nervous about the location of this beautiful home but were so happy with the location and the fact that it was literally hidden in the middle of everything. The fencing and vegetation as well as the pool waterfall allows for a peaceful stay. The home is beautiful and the pool area perfect for gathering and swimming and yet we were close to so many great restaurants, shopping and Key West sites.
