Wonderful stay!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed with four other girlfriends for one week in this property. It was absolutely wonderful! Everything inside the house, furniture, rugs, bedding, etc. was well-maintained, and everything was in working, order . We had no problems. My bed and the bed of my friends were all super comfortable. The outside was lush and private, and very beautiful. The house looks exactly the way it does online. We loved it so much that we’re planning to book it again for next year.

A Gem in Key West's Truman Annex
We were celebrating the 20th anniversary of my husband's 40th birthday -- which we'd spent in Key West (the theme then was A Pirate Looks at 40; original, I know). In any event, this was truly one of the nicest properties I've rented through VRBO. The house was lovely, fitting in the neo-traditional neighborhood that is Truman Annex. Well-equipped and comfortable; we had every thing we needed. Lush landscaping and gorgeous outdoor space. The pool could use an update, but it didn't hinder our enjoyment of it. And, most importantly, the location was awesome. We could get anywhere we wanted either on foot or via the bikes we'd rented. Beach, bar and restaurant. I would definitely stay here again.

Spring Break in Key West
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house and location were suburb. We had several maintenance issues while there, but most were addressed promptly. Grill was usable but the grate needs to be replaced, TV did not work properly, locks were either stuck or difficult to secure. Two kitchen cupboards were off their hinges. The grout on all three of the showers' tile floor was blackened with mold which was extremely unsightly. Dishwasher functioned but racks were missing wheels so difficult to maneuver. Fundamental maintenance has been overlooked. While basic supplies (TP, paper towels dish soap), were barely furnished, there was no dishwasher soap. While that is a small item, I truly believe for the cost of the weekly rental all of those items should have been generously available. Stair carpet and outside white chair cushions were very soiled and and somewhat moldy. I know these descriptions make the house seem less than ideal, but as I said it is a beautiful house in a great location that just needs some more care.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in Queen Emma for the second time. She is a beautiful home with ample decks, including decks for all the upper bedrooms. Her kitchen is well appointed and modern. The pool is a welcome respite after a long day of sightseeing and shopping. She has a huge outdoor table for dining or games under fans in the evenings. A wonderful home away from home!

The house was as described and we enjoyed our stay. The pool could use a little updating and more towels in the kitchen would have been nice ( there were none so we purchased some). Otherwise the place was great and we would recommend

Key West 2023 - Boat Racing!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house and suits the purpose intended for - a thorough go through to check and repair fixtures, locks, draws would be beneficial. Pool was not clean, and the pool chairs should be cleaned and around the pool to be used - they were stored in the parking overhang and dirty - not ideal. A/C had issues twice, which made evenings uncomfortable. I would stay there again, as the location works great for race week. Compass staff were helpful and kind - thank you!! Hope to be back next year

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enjoyed our stay at the Queen Emma in the Truman Annex. It was lovely overall. There were only a few things that need to be addressed. The pool desperately needs an upgrade. It’s in bad condition. The locks on a few if the glass doors need to be repaired. The one knob continued to fall off every time. The master bedroom glass door did not lock. It was out of alignment. Finally, the rugs need to be cleaned better.

Family Vacation
We had a great time on our family vacation!! We were a group of 6. The location was perfect for our 20 something kids to walk to bars and restaurants. Something to do for everyone. The bike rental at We Cycle is super close to the house so it was really easy to rent bikes. Ft Zachary Taylor beach was lovely and also really close to the house. Everyone in our group said the house and location was perfect and we would definitely rent this house again!!

We truly enjoyed this house. The backyard is private and the pool is the perfect size for a small group. The patio is set with a beautiful table and chairs for outdoor dining. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking and has ample refrigeration and freezer space.

DeCosta's Get away!
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall a great experience and have rented the same house for November 2023. Smoke detector sounded in the lower bedroom and had to be disconnected. There are others which were already disconnected in other rooms, upon our arrival - they should all be checked, cleaned and re-installed. Pool was somewhat dirty and the interior of the washing machine needed cleaning. Otherwise, loved the house and was happy with how clean everything was upon arrival. Regarding the parking bay, opposite the car port - we were told that it belonged to 514 Emma street , by two of the neighbors, however the office confirmed it did not - still unclear on this

Perfect
The property was very nice. I loved the kitchen. And I cooked quite a bit while I was there. There were four couples that stayed. The only issue that we had was that the hair dryer was broken and there was only one in the house. Which we kind of expected there to be more but I don't know if that's realistic expectation. The space was wonderful. We did not have enough space for trash because it gets picked up only once a week so we ended up overloading the trash cans. But if that's the worst thing that's going to happen it's not a big deal. We would definitely stay at the house again the location was perfect. It was far enough away from Duval Street that it was quiet when you needed it to be. And it was close enough that the walk was short or the bike ride was short.

Beautiful Property
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at Queen Emma under different ownership in the past. It's a fantastic property with a great outside space to cool off with the pool & relaxing or outdoor dining. It is well situated to many restaurants and bars. We stayed here with four couples and this time with our family of five adults. Plenty of room. I do have to say this time, though, I felt the property declined a tad with filthy carpeting upstairs which I took a video of and sent to Compass Realty with no response. I wouldn't walk on it barefoot! I expected more for the $$$ spent to rent for a week. Cleanliness is most important and it doesn't take much to shampoo the carpet. Communication with Compass Realty was great before arrival but once there I contacted them for a ironing board and was given a countertop small one with the promise of a full-size board to arrive. I had to remind them about the iron board when I received the small one and gave up when days passed without the full ironing board delivery. I also contacted them about the Damage Waiver upon my return home without any reply. Compass Realty can do much better. I paid a $350 cleaning fee but emptied every garbage and started a load of towel and stripped all beds...yet they could pay to have the carpets cleaned. The contract states "Compass agrees to provide the Premises in clean condition." I would still like to know if and when I will receive the Damage Waiver fee since no there was no damage to the property. Overall, I love the property but wish it was cleaned properly for our stay, that Compass would respond to communications and follow through with delivery of items if requested.

Property originally booked not available due to renovations… switched to different property. Great location, but had trouble with the auto thermostat and AC first day. Pool was dirty. Pool guy showed up mid week with no notification and let himself in with no notice. They need to ring the doorbell when there are renters.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was perfect. I'd buy it if I could afford it. Beautiful, great location, had all the amenities and space we wanted. The only downside was the place showed evidence of being overrun by renters. The furniture and floors were dirty and some details could use a bit of maintenance. Honestly, a cleaning crew spending more time in between check ins would solve the problem. The fees we paid should have included a better cleaning.
