About this property

Duval Square Retreat is In the heart of Old Town. Duval Square is located at the "artistic" and quieter end of Duval Street. This recently upgraded unit is tastefully decorated with design elements from around the world. The first floor offers a well- equipped kitchen, and an open living and dining concept, French doors to a private balcony and a half bath powder room.

Upstairs, the main bedroom suite has a private balcony and ensuite bath. The second second bedroom also has an ensuite bath.

There is central air conditioning and Wi-Fi internet. The complex's shared pool and sunning area overlooks world famous Duval Street. On the street level you will find a unique tree lined courtyard with restaurants and shops. While gated garage parking is provided here, all you really need is a bicycle for your main mode of transportation as you can walk or bike everywhere from Duval Square.

Bedding: 2 Queen
A shared, sun-drenched, rooftop pool and pavilion are just steps from your door.

This is an unbeatable location offering easy pedestrian access to dozens of shops and restaurants, the Ernest Hemingway Home Museum and other notable local attractions, and of course the serene, turquoise ocean that the island is famous for.

Gather your friends and family together and book a Key West vacation you will never forget at Duval Square Penthouse.

Beds: 3 Kings, 2 Twins, 1 Sleeper Sofa
Duval Square is a charming community with shops and restaurants downstairs and secure, quiet, private residences, pool and pavilion upstairs.

When you enter the home you will find a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, spacious living room and a convenient half bath. French doors let in the natural sunshine and open to the private back deck with dining table and chairs perfect for outdoor entertaining.

On the second floor, you will find 2 bedroom suites, each with their own private bathroom and an additional private balcony off the main suite.

Key West vacation

Great location, central to everything. The complex is very secure. The unit was nicely furnished. The couch needs to be replaced. The dishwasher did not clean well, so we hand washed dishes. Beds were comfortable. I would stay again!

Key west vacation

Location was great. Property was very nice, clean and everything functioned perfectly. The main issue we had with the property was around the beds. The bed specifically located in the master bedroom was very uncomfortable. I felt like I was sleeping in a ditch and may have a coil sticking me in the back…. Good sleep is so key while on vacation. I would strongly suggest buying some type of memory foam mattress.

Fantastic place in central Key West

This great 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath unit is just south of central Duval street. This means that everything, and I mean everything, on the West side of Key West is within walking distance. Hemmingway house, and the light house are right next door. Better than Sex is a glorious Dessert place right next door as well (make reservations!). Southern most point is 10-15 minute easy walk. Mallory Square at the other end is about 20-25 minute easy walk. The rental company was fantastic for communication in getting us settled in. And you have your own dedicated parking space in a covered garage so no parking hassles at all. The unit is above a retail spot that is low key and quiet but has multiple restaurants, a CVS around the corner, and a circle K as well if you need something fast. We couldn't have hoped for more.

Right off Duval

This is a great location just steps from Duval Street. The condo is spacious with a huge main bedroom. I loved having both bedrooms upstairs. Parking was convenient and secure.

Great Location

My husband and adult son stayed here the week of July 4th. It is in a great location with shoot and restaurants within walking distance. We could walk to the pier at the end of White Strret (about 1 mile) to see the fireworks up close. We have two complaints: no bath soap provided and somewhat uncomfortable beds and bedding. It is beautifully decorated and comfortable otherwise. I would recommend this place for its location and space, but don’t forget to bring bath soap!

Quiet Comfortable Condo

We flew in on a morning flight and the property manager arranged for our condo to be ready early, and since we had an afternoon flight we were able to arrange a noon checkout by simply starting the laundry process for towels. Check in was easy and only required we pickup our keys from a secure mailbox with our name on a label and checkout even more simple. We just left the keys on the dining room table. Our lights were on to welcome our arrival as was the chilly air conditioner on both levels. We loved the colorful and interesting decor and think you will too. Gated entry that requires a key made us feel safe. We had an issue with finding ESPN after hours and after one quick call they talked us through what to do (required unplugging the cable box) however we loved being able to call someone for immediate help.

Quiet Duval St

This property was perfect for our stay. On the quiet end of Duval Street we still had fine restaurants just out our gate. Scooter rentals, tour booking booths, and upscale shops all within our block. Hemingway House and other sightseeing stops within walking distance. The property itself was well maintained, comfortable, and quiet. We enjoyed our first experience with Vbro and Key West!

Needs Updating

The condo was dated in its decor and functionality. The kitchen needs to be replenished, especially the utensils. There was limited storage for food in the cabinets. The chairs in the living room were old and uncomfortable seating. The second bedroom could be more functional: there is chest on an angle in the corner of the bedroom that was only decorative and not usable for storage. The TV was on a shelf in the closet. The paint in the bathroom was peeling. The pool in the complex is very small and shallow (deepest end is 4.5 feet), which makes the water very warm and not refreshing on a hot day. Overall the condo served its overall purpose and its location was fine, but we were disappointed for the reasons mentioned above. It was overpriced for what we got in return.

Great location and property

This location and property was ideal for our family and visit. The townhome was clean, well organized, and all items were in working order. The check in process was a bit challenging. Specifically, the management company did not have the after hours lock box with keys stocked. Additionally, it would have been an added benefit to have some accoutrements available like small soap, shampoo, and coffee. The WI-FI was great. Overall a home run. We will definitely choose this location and servicing company again. With a few minor tweaks this will be an across the board 5 star rating. Nice job!

Great location.

The only issue we had was the main bathtub not draining for the first 2 days. We called the office on the second day of our stay late Friday afternoon and no one ended up coming out to fix the issue. We left Monday late morning. Luckily, we figured it out anyway after messing around with the drain system more. The location of this place js great and near the quieter end lf Duval. Everything within walking/biking distance. The place wasn't spotless, but clean enough. We would stay here again.

Great Location

The property was very nice clean and well maintained as Listed. My only complaints are both TV's did not work well at all. There were 5 remotes with the downstairs TV and we had to get someone to come up to tell us how to get it working. The upstairs TV only got one channel the whole stay. Overall, everything was in good shape with a few exceptions that needed minor repairs.
