Beautiful property! Beautiful backyard/pool! Will definitely stay here again. Everything went so smooth from checking in to checking out! Thank you so much!
5 sisters on holiday had a great time. The location was perfect and the house was great for us. The living room is super small but the outdoor patio was lovely and that is where we spend our time.
We had a great time at this house. The location is perfect and really nice grocery store right across the street. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and definitely stay here again. The AC could be a little stronger, but otherwise it was a beautiful house.
Cottage was clean, bright and cozy. Pool was private and awesome. Location could not have been better - 1 block to Duval Street, short walk to either end of the island. Grocery store across the street. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.
Spent a week here for a girls trip and it was perfect! The location is walking distance from so many restaurants. We rented bikes to get to the beach. The backyard is nice we had a few pool days as well. Highly recommend!
A perfect spot to enjoy the entire island. Centrally located, very walkable and plenty of room for 2 couples. Conveniently located across from Faustoâs Grocery plus lots of coffee shops. Check out the Thirsty Mermaid on the corner! Will definitely use VHKW again.
Was right next to all of the fun downtown fun. Wonderful place. House is older like most of key west. But thatâs why you are going. To the Keys. If that isnât your thing get a hotel.
Great stay.
This was a great little place to stay! The main bedroom was spacious and cooled off well. The smaller bedroom needs a little work with their AC. The place was clean and comfortable. We had a problem with a locked door and someone was over to help within minutes. You canât beat the location! Also, having a grocery store right there was a huge bonus. Would definitely stay there again.
This is a great house in Key West. Close to all activities, shops and restaurantsâŠbut on a quiet side street. The backyard and pool are your own oasis. Faustoâs market is just across the street for added convenience. Yes the delivery trucks come early, but thatâs only a minor issue. I would highly recommend this property.
This was a perfect house for our family to relax and enjoy Key West. The pool & outdoor space was awesome and the house itself, although small living space, was more than enough space for 5 people. We rented bikes for the week but the property is within walking distance to so much. Faustoâs is Conveniently located across the street but I would go to Publix for a bigger and better selection.
Loved the house, pool and location. Very comfortable and close to everything! The only negative I would say and it certainly would not stop us from coming back is that the bedroom and living room do not cool down. The air conditioner is for both rooms and does not meet the need. The master bedroom air works great and was extremely comfortable. We would stay again for sure! The parking spot was a little difficult to find but we figured it out with a little patience. Absolutely a great find and enjoyable stay!
Wonderful week in Key West in the perfect cottage in the perfect location!
Down Island Digs is the perfect location in Key West. My husband, my best friend, and I spent a week in this cute cottage. It is located a block from Duval Street. There are wonderful restaurants, bars & shopping just steps away. We enjoyed the beautiful outdoor area with the pool and garden in the private back yard. While this is an ideal location, it is also directly under the flight path to the Key West airport. Also, Faustoâs Grocery, located across the street from Down Island Digs, receives deliveries from trucks early in the morning. But the famous roosters of Key West begin each morning crowing away and that only reminds you that you are in paradise!
This was a good sized house for the 5 of us, in a great location. The only thing negative to say it that the air conditioning doesnât get cold. It was 80 degrees plus in the house with a/c on and fans blowing. The bathroom in the bedroom âventsâ to the outside via a window thatâs left open, so the bathroom was the same as the outside temperature- 96-98 degrees. Itâs August, we knew it would be warm, just not in the house!
The convenience of this cottage is incredible! Other reviews have mentioned the early-morning grocer deliveries, but we were never bothered with noise. Literally 1/2 block off of Duval makes the location top-notch. The pool was the perfect place for afternoons. The cottage is quaint and well appointed. We had trouble with the a/c in guest room. One call to maintenance and it was taken care of immediately. My only "con" was the king bed in the master was VERY firm and not comfortable of me...for others it may be fine. Would we stay there again? Absolutely!!
Very nice house and pool deck at a great location - close to Duvall and within walking distance of other areas. Very private, relaxing, and comfortable until the grocery store across the street starts their morning loading operations around 4:00 to 6:00 a.m., at which point the sound of idling diesel trucks and banging are constant. The air conditioners in the bedrooms worked well but the living room area could not be cooled to a comfortable level.
With all of this being said, the house and the pool/pool deck were all great and well-taken care of. However, it seems overpriced given the small, easy improvements which could be made to enhance guests' comfort and experience.
I read about the AC issue but booked anyway. No AC in main areas of house or bathrooms. We had to use 6 different fans, which the house provided. It was not good. The house was always hot. Kitchen dishes were sparse. Only one large pot and small pot. One small fry pans and a medium fry pan. No strainerâŠ4 small glass drinking glasses. Donât plan on cooking any meals because there isnât enough of anything. The large burner on the stove does not work. Only 2 lounge chairs at pool. Pool deck is caving in and warped in areas! For the money, you seriously can book a much better place to stay. The location was excellent thoughâŠ.
we stayed Labor Day week 2021. House is easy to find. Parking is down the street but close. Be aware, the house is next door to Fausto's supermarket-a great store, has everything you need. However, delivery trucks start arriving at 5am. You will not sleep through the noise. Exterior- Pool is clean and private. There are worn cement areas and cement debris gathered on the steps and corners in the pool. There are two lounge chairs and two deck chairs. The patio furniture under the canopy is quite old and the cushions are flat and dirty. The banyon trees around the pool drop alot of leaves and the lizards traveling the fence poop along it and the patio. Easy clean up but would have appreciated a rake and bucket instead of using the household broom and bowls . Interior: very clean, basic neccessities (toilet paper, soap etc.) was available. Towels and linens were available. Beds made and comfortable. All indoor furniture is old and mismatched, worn material, flat cushions. Housewares-bare neccessities, we used paper products.
