Kazi was a joy to deal with. You can tell he cares about your stay. It's a beautiful home with nice pool area. Great location and short drive to Key West.
Thank you so much for the great stay! The ocean view was beautiful! The landscaping with surrounding trees and flowers was lovely! The house was comfortable and had everything that we needed. It was perfect for our family!
To start... the check-in paper work was 20 pages long, never had to sign so much just to check in to a place. Had the place book for mini lobster season. No where in the listing does it say you can't bring a boat on property, but in his rules he sent 6 days before check-in, he said no boats allowed.. ended allowing me to bring my boat, but with a 2,000 fee if I mess anything up. The pictures on the site and what the house looks like is so far off... pictures are 10 years old at least... No screened in back back porch, rust everywhere on the outside, weeds all in the rocks and concrete. Pool was dirty. Kitchen cabinets are falling apart, mold in the bathrooms showers... there was roaches, ants, spiders and bugs all over the place.. we couldn't even make dinner the first night without ants getting on the food. Dirty sheets with hair in the bed sheets, with no spare sheets to change out. We ended up leaving after the first night. I would be embarrassed to have anyone come stay at my house if it looked like this... no central-heating and air. Every room had window units and the living room unit wasn't working... I'm sure I'm missing something.. but if you read this much and still wanna stay here.. good luck.
The property is beautiful, however the house needs a lot of work. Itâs old, outdated and dirty. The kitchen really needs an update. A simple paint job throughout would do wonders. The pool was nice but freezing and the hot tub is not a hot-tub. Itâs just the same water from the pool. The views are stunning and the porch was our favorite spot. A beautiful place to eat breakfast and enjoy the view. Watch out for no see ems at night though. I came home with massive bites. The beds were comfortable.However the listing said there was a queen bed in the common area and there was not.
We stayed for my husbandâs surprise 40th birthday weekend. Kazi was an amazing host and made the booking/arrival/departure process so easy. His hospitality was amazing and we canât wait to come back.
We booked the house for 10 people based on the listing. There is no queen bed in the common area as advertised, only two sofas. There were only 4 bath towels provided when we arrived even though we booked the house for 10 people. We contacted the owner when we arrived to ask for more towels, but he did not respond until the next day. When he did respond, he was rude and unapologetic. We then contacted the property manager to ask for more towels and a queen bed and never heard back for the entire 7 days of our stay. The housekeeper came the second day to get us towels and she gave us a lovely air mattress in lieu of an actual queen bed that is advertised in the listing. The grounds were unkempt, the kitchen sink was disgusting, rusty vents, dirty door handles, just an overall icky feeling in the house. Two bathrooms had missing lightbulbs, paint peeling, bottle caps and cigarette butts from previous tenants (which we picked up); a very poorly maintained property.The neighbors told us the owner lives in an RV off of the driveway which was not communicated with us.
This house is beautiful, itâs an old Keys style home, nautical, clean, beautiful views, we spent most of our time in the pool. Great place to just get away and relax. Love that is was off the beaten path. The palm trees, coconuts and yard is beautiful. The owner answered us almost immediately for any needs or questions we had. Will definitely make this a yearly trip.
Location was great & property was lovely. We had a youth group & the kids enjoyed playing basketball & using the outdoor space. Felt like we stayed in someoneâs home. The property owner was on property frequently & was very kind & welcoming. The house rules packet should have been sent before the cancellation window & was one of the most extensive Iâve ever encountered with a vacation rental. There were many security cameras on property, which made us uncomfortable given we had a few youth. I have no doubt they deal with all kinds of people, but itâs part of the gig when you offer your home as a vacation rental. The property manager needs some communication training as he was very short.
Check in process and punitive language in contract were turnoffs that got the vacation off on the wrong foot. Other than that the property was as advertised.
The house was a lovely place to stay. The pool, was a phenomenal spot to hang out. The owner, was an extremely friendly, helpful gentleman. the location of the property couldnât be any better in terms of local spots to see, and places to eat at plus being very close to downtown Key West.
Our family of six adults and three kids spent a week in the keys for Spring Break. We selected the property due to its location between Key West and Bahia Honda. When we weren't exploring the various locations, the home was beautiful and had plenty to offer during our stay. We utilized the pool, played basketball, fooseball and took our pups on walks of the property. The property manager was incredibly helpful with questions and prompt to respond. We greatly enjoyed our stay.
Owner and property manager were nice and easy to communicate with. Property needs updating, was told the gate was working until we arrived and the gate was broken and was never fixed and is held shut by a bungee cord, other doors in the home barely locked and the owner stayed on the property while we were there. Security of the property was a concern for us since someone was in the storage cottage next to the home 6 feet away. Small bugs all over the home that infested any food that was not in the refrigerator. Location was nice as it is 20 minutes from Key West. Beautiful scenery of the ocean from the top deck. Beach access was advertised as down the road but it was a 1 foot location to put a foot in. The owner was very responsive to any questions until we told him the washer was broke and then he stopped responding.
Horrible. Check in process was horrible. Gate did not work. Refrigerator did not work. Washing machine did not work. Pool was cold. House was dirty. Both showers were filthy and had massive amounts of paint chipping. Bathroom sinks had mold around them. Toilet did not flush properly. Paint chipped on multiple room walls and ceilings. Cobb webbs everywhere. Landscaping was a disaster. Marketed is a 5 bedroom house. However there were only 4 bedrooms and the 4th bedroom was 2 bunk beds with toys everywhere. You could barely turn around in that room. Very disappointing.
Location and property are great. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, but some of the common areas needed more love. Overall the house needed some work as there were many signs of age inside. The basketball hoop was also missing. Owner was on the property the entire week we stayed. He was friendly enough, but it was still kinda weird. More so, we noticed other people also on the property that seemed to be living in the RV parked near the main house. I was traveling with my family and some of them were a bit turned off by this. Not the most private place weâve stayed at.
