Girls Get Away

Really enjoyed this condo and the location was great. Lovely beach just across the road. Very nice and warm pool. Beds were comfortable and condo is just as pictured. We didn’t really cook but kitchen appeared to be well stocked. Everything we wanted to see/do was approximately a 12 Uber/Lyft ride away and they were plentiful. We enjoyed the condo and the ocean view was extra nice!

Spring Break

Overall it was fine but there was constant road construction just outside our unit and planes flying over from the nearby airport. The hot water was in short supply for a group of 6 but the neighbors were all nice older people and welcoming overall.

Beautiful view but poor management

I’ll start with the positive, the view is gorgeous! I texted the manger 53 minutes before 4:00, check in time, asked when they would send door code. We weren’t checking in early, but it’s comforting to know we have what we need to get in. She texted the code back and said, “it’s on the portal” she lied. It wasn’t. Then after our first night the internet and cable went out. I told her that night, and had no internet or cable the entire rest of our 6 days. We paid for it, but never had it, no refunds even though that is part of what we were paying for. The screen on the back door never functioned, I told her and she said, basically yep, it’s broken. She showed up without notice and when my husband came out, super inappropriately said, “I’m your replacement wife.” The day we left, the housekeeper knocked at exactly 10:00. We paid over 1000/ night and the view wasn’t worth it. We could have rented 2 rooms at Ocean's edge resort for 1/3 less than what we paid. Condo had a great view, it was dated and there was a bunch of long black hairs on the towels and in the bathroom. Management was a hugeletdown. I would definitely not stay here twice. DO NOT COME IN BEFORE 4:00 AND DO NOT LEAVE AFTER 10:00!!!!.

Great location

This was a nice place with lots of extra. We did have an issue with bug bites during the visit. Initially we thought it was from the beach but soon realized it was inside the apartment. We informed the host and he said he would take care of it

Need to fix several items in Key West

No hot water in front bathroom-shower and sink. Also, I didn’t have any instruction to look for the deadbolt key in the little black box next to the front door. I had to call the after hours rental office because I never received the door combination. The condo was spotless. It was very spacious.

Girls trip

Condo was perfect for our group. Right across from the beautiful beach. Just a short Uber ride to Duval st for bars and beaches. The only thing was we never received the code to the gate or the elevator, luckily we ran into the building manager and he gave us the code. Other than that, things were good.

Friends Vacation and an Anniversary

The property overall was in a good location. About 12 minutes to Mallory square and downtown Duval street, across the street from Smathers beach and a mile down the road from excellent pier fishing. The room was on the second floor so we had a good view over the ocean as well. The only minor negatives were that maintenance had to come in a few times to look for a leak. It wasn’t affecting our unit but I am never a fan of strangers in the apartment while no one was there. That said, there were no issues and they were as quick as they could be. The sliding glass door was covered in a sheet of salt when we got there. Given the size of the cleaning fee I would have expected that to be wiped down prior to arrival. We cleaned it on Tuesday and it stayed clear through the rest of the week dramatically improving the view. There was also a loose floor tile in the kitchen due to some old water damage from the looks of it and we had a small ant problem in the kitchen that persisted even after the property was sprayed. Overall I would recommend staying here, the view was good, the location was what we wanted and the pool and hot tub were nice features.

Check in was terrible

The property manager uses a different platform to communicate but we did not have access to it so we had NO property access information such as gate code, elevator access code and condo door code. It took over an hour to get answers and that's only because one of our party was lucky enough to be at the manager's office when they walked out the door. She was able to get the codes so we finally had what we needed. They forgot to update their answering service on access which made it even more confusing.

Great beach access location

Beach was literally across the street. Parking a vehicle is easy, but it’s less than 5 min from the airport by car, so an easy Uber. It’s a little far from Old Town, so an Uber or rental golf cart/car or bikes would be needed to access that area easily. The pool area was nice and serene.

Great stay for us!

Easy location for on the town, for walking, for using the beach, and yet close to the airport. Great walking in the area and friendly neighbors. The kitchen had ample dishes and good space to enjoy our week. The ocean view from one bedroom, the living room, and patio was enjoyable. The washer and dryer was a welcomed amenity, too. There are large closets in the bedrooms so we didn’t feel like we were living out of suitcases. When we had an inquiry due to the property gate, the contact for the property quickly responded which was incredibly appreciated.

Place had a nice view and conveniently located across the beach. The main issue for me was the cable tv did not work. Was unable to watch anything. For the amount one pays for this rental, this should be part of the deal.

Nice condo in a great location

We had a wonderful stay here. The condo complex is nice and has good security. The rooms were well sized, nicely decorated and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was a bit under-equipped, but had the basics. The check-in process was somewhat convoluted, but we managed it. Some suggestions for the unit: *USB/AC charging blocks on nightstands. *Larger cutting board and a good knife block. *Upgraded pots and pans *More glassware. Thank you - we enjoyed it very much!

Great location, great condo unit

We stayed here for 5 days and loved it! Room to spread out, kitchen with everything you need, lovely view off the deck. We had a slight issue where the dryer was not working - the management folks did everything they could to help us out, delivering fresh towels and offering to have a laundry service clean our clothes for us. Very happy with the service and professionalism. Location was great, we rented bikes and used those to get around everywhere. But it was nice to have quiet in the evening. My daughter left her cell phone behind when we checked out, and again the management folks were super helpful in assisting us with getting that back without us risking missing our flight home.

Vaca out of the cold!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Key West! We loved that this location was so close to Smathers Beach - had a great view. The traffic wasn’t as loud as people made it out to be in previous reviews. The beach did have some seaweed every morning but they cleaned it up every other day and wasn’t a problem (it smelled a bit but mostly just along Atlantic Blvd while walking/riding bike). This VRBO was clean, check in process was ok - it’s inconvenient to have to go across town to get the keys but worked ok, beds were very comfy! Our only complaint was that there wasn’t enough hand soap or toilet paper for the week - with paying the amount it is, we figured this would be included. Otherwise, it was great!
