My husband and I wanted a return trip to the keys with our adult childten for our 30th anniversary. This was the perfect place! Comfortable, plenty of room for all of us, close to shopping, activities, food and drinks (The Run Bar makes the best pina colada) and ending the day with a dip in the pool was definitely a hit with our kids. Could not have asked for a better experience!
Very nice location and layout of the property. You can use a new Grill, as the current one is rusted out and 2 of the burners do not work.The pool is great and the Bungalow is perfect.
The house is in a perfect location, walking distance to everything. House itself is clean and cozy. Property manager Whitney was very responsive and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay and had a lot of fun!
I think some things should be updated around pool. I was not thrilled with ants. We bought spray and never had the problem the rest of time.Construction beside us was not great. But work goes on!A little pricey for what you have. A little sanding and some Rustolium paint once a year would be an improvement.
**If you are considering renting this property in the next six months or so be advised there is a MAJOR CONSTRUCTION project right next door**Everything about this house was as advertised - adorable, clean, great location, etc etc - please read all the reviews and know they are accurate, which is why I gave the property a high rating.BUT - we were completely unaware of the huge construction project next door. Loud music, power tools, and yelling each day (including a Saturday) from 8AM-5PM. Unavoidable, but greatly impacted our stay as we were looking forward to lounging around the pool in quiet and privacy. No discount in pricing was offered to compensate for the inconvenience and disruption.Check-in was easy, but late - I had to contact the host to inquire and didn't receive info until well after check-in time of 4PM. Property manager was fairly unapologetic and unresponsive to our complaints about the unexpected construction, other than to agree it is "a major project." We would absolutely recommend this property - once the house next door is finished being built.
The property was very nice and it's in a great location. Only steps from Duval but still in a quiet neighborhood. There was construction on the house next door that was very loud and started every morning exactly at 8:00 am. The property was very accommodating with an early arrival but not as much with a late departure. We had to leave by 10:00 am but our flights didn't leave until early afternoon and there was no space to store packed bags until we were ready to leave. I would definitely come back....but once construction next door is over.
House and location are great. We come to the Keys every year and we really liked this place. However, the construction is an issue. Street was closed off, sidewalks too. Should have notified us on this. Annoying to be woken up that early on vacation. Take that away, great spot and highly recommended
House was great, very clean, great location. Construction going on next door from 7am-5pm everyday of our trip. Very loud. A/C went out during our stay but other than those two situations it was great.
overall, our stay was good. Great location near Duval Street. Excellent beds and baths. perfect for three couples having some privacy with this small house in the back.The only setbacks were the construction on both sides of the property. The backyard could have used some cleanup and more updated pool chairs. Also, they were lacking in some kitchen utensils and basics.
House and pool were beautiful and relaxing!! Perfect location to all the fun! Walkable to restaurants and bars! We rented a golf cart about a block away from house which was also very convenient. Our stay at this house created a perfect week for the entire family. Would definitely stay again when visiting Key West.
We had three couples so attached bathrooms to the three bedrooms was perfect. Place was clean and had what we needed. Communication with property manager was easy and good. Great location to walk to restaurants, entertainment and shopping. We didnât use pool much as there was construction going on next door every day. It is an older home so noise outside with construction was louder but surprising at night, it was quiet, even being so close to Duval street.
We enjoyed the stay, pleasantly surprised to see a full bathroom attached to all the bedrooms. The house was in an extremely convenient location, close to Duval and also many other popular sites in Key West. The street was generally quiet yet convenient to get to the fun places! The property owners are considerate and responsive, catered to our requests in a timely manner. The pool was incredible! They provided us with extra pool towels to use.We had no issues with our stay. My only minor feedback is to have some storage/holders in the cottage bathroom shower. Thanks for the wonderful time.
House is a very comfortable size. Quite surprised with the age of this house that it had 2 1/2 bathrooms, plus another full bathroom in the pool cottage. Nice, clean in ground pool was very relaxing and a joy for our 15 month grandson. Very well-appointed.
My family of 4 absolutely loved this property. The location is next to none, right off Duval street so we were able to reduce time driving and finding parking. Also, we absolutely loved hanging out by the pool which is super relaxing and was a perfect temperature. Highly recommend staying here.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Tropical Retreat. Check in was a breeze and the communication was excellent. Concierge made several recommendations for a snorkeling trip and a sunset cruise and both were great. We definitely recommend this cute three bedroom bungalow.
