About this property

Duval Square Retreat: A beautiful condo steps from the action

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.

Owner

Owner apparently was monitoring the temperature of the unit and called the office for them to let us know to plug-in the window air conditioner in the master bedroom (which by the way, my husband only unplugged because he wanted to plug in his cell phone) and told us not to decrease the temperature below 70. That’s very concerning that he is monitoring our stay.

Nice Space in the Right Place

The good is this condo complex is right off Duval St. with easy walking access to all of the restaurants and shops downtown. The condo itself is spacious and clean and our family of free was comfortable there. The not-so-good was the poor communication with property mgt. After a text was not responded to, I called the property mgt company to inquire as to where we could plug-in our electric golf cart rental, The agent (Carol) was not helpful and actually blamed me for not notifying them ahead of time as they would have recommended a gas-powered unit. We didn't see a single gas-powered golf cart cruising around town during our entire stay. Luckily, I found a plug in the garage on my own and was able to squeeze a charge in. Aside from this service letdown, we really liked the condo and would recommend.

Great Location

Duval Square is a great location. The condo is laid out perfectly for couples sharing space with the two en suites. The rental company provides some convenient basics like hand soap, shower soap, laundry pods etc so you don’t have to purchase things just to use a little. The pool/rooftop area is a nice feature. Parking is great.

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.

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.
