Key West getaway
This was in the perfect location: not too far from Mallory Square or the buoy. Close to Duval yet in a quieter neighborhood. Parking is an issue but it was pointed out before we booked the trip so we were prepared. We loved it! We would stay there again and also highly recommend it to other travelers! A+

Excellent location for downtown and beach.
Location is so important and this VRBO has an excellent location. We walked or took short Uber rides everywhere we wanted to go- and we could easily come back for a quick lunch or nap in the middle of the day. Parking was competitive but we always got something within three blocks, as we have people in our family with NYC skills 😂. One of the 3 BRs is small and more like a front room/entrance converted to a BR but we made it work and very much appreciated the rarity of having a place with 2 bathrooms.

Great location
The property was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed having coffee and people watching in the morning from the front patio. It was only a few blocks to Duval St. where there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. The property is centrally located, so we were able to walk to everything. The main reason we went to Key West, was to celebrate my 70th birthday. I informed the owner of this and I was surprised to see a Birthday card and balloon. It was a nice touch. I would definitely book this property again.
