KEY WEST INSPIRED 5 BEDROOM HOME. 4 MINUTE WALK TO BEACH & BOARDWALK

From the moment we walked in, a midnight arrival with no porch light and every door and window left unlocked, it was clear the glowing photos were nothing but a masterful work of deception, carefully hiding every flaw.The construction was shockingly shoddy—doors and windows so far out of plumb they looked drunk, refusing to close properly and letting in every stray breeze. Paint was cracking and peeling on nearly every wall, giving the place the sad, neglected vibe. The mattresses were not terrible but the sheets on 3 were dirty and there weren’t enough blankets for all of the beds. They were paper thin and when we messaged the property managers asking for more blankets, especially for the beds that didn’t have any, they responded several hours later and dropped off ONE paper thin blanket. The water pressure was so low and the water not hot enough for more than 1 shower leaving many with cold showers. At one point the water pressure disappeared completely mid-shower covered in soap. We messaged the owners and never got a response. An hour later we had water again. There was several people coming and going from the basement. Sure, it was close to the beach—I'll give it that one reluctant point—but even that proximity couldn't save the experience when the surrounding area had far too many homeless individuals milling about, making evening strolls feel uneasy rather than relaxing.There are far better options out there that actually deliver what they promise.

Only thing would be some basic cooking stuff like salt, pepper etc. great stay though.

We didn’t receive the arrival information and I had to request it on the way, hoping we would actually receive it. We arrived late at night and no outside lights work. Pictures don’t match some of the conditions. There is rotting interior plywood covering half of the front porch. There was a large dead cockroach in the second floor bathroom and multiple other smaller dead cockroaches. The living room ceiling light and second floor ceiling light are extremely dim and not working compared to the others. Both sets of bunk beds were very shaky and probably need tightened. The house is advertised for 18 but 6 of those would be on pull out couches. You can’t use all of them because of the space. The sheets on them were dirty and there was no bedding or pillows for them. The exterior doors are extremely old and not very secure. It felt like someone could easily break in. You couldn’t lock them without manipulating the door to line things up. There were also gaps in the front door and second floor porch door that let cold air blow in. The heat on the second floor worked well but the first was very cold. The windows are all painted shut which is a safety issue in case of a fire or enjoying a nice breeze during the spring or summer.

It was the perfect size and location. We enjoyed being ai close to the beach and boardwalk. The kitchen was sufficient, but a full set of pots and pans would be helpful. It wasnt an issue because we onlu stayed 3 days. If we had been there all week we would definitely need more

It worked for our needs! Thank you!

The toilet got clogged twice.The water pressure was low.Air vent doors from the floor were not properly screwed on.The people who used the grill area left it messy and then we tried to clean ourselves but it had mold.

Excellent location. House was clean and the AC worked great during a very warm week. We enjoyed the pool and the outdoor grill area. Host was very prompt and helpful with a dead battery on the front door lock and a small wasps nest by the stairs - both taken care of right away! Would stay again!

I would highly recommend this property. Outstanding for the price and a stone's throw to the boardwalk.

the house was clean and very walkable to the beach and places to eat. Upon arrival most of the TVs did not work and there were only five towels in the house for our party. Trying to contact the owner prior to arrival for checkin info and during our visit to have our issues addressed was hit and miss. The TV in the main room was addressed, but continued to required some manipulation on our part. The kitchen was barely adequately stocked and would not have sufficed if we had a full complement of 15 people.

The biggest problem is parking. For the price of this house you would expect reserve parking. If you are lucky enough to get a parking space in front of the house, or anywhere near it, jump on it and never move your car. Day trippers to the beach, hotel workers, and contruction workers grab all the available free parking in front of the house and you are stuck paying for parking or parking blocks away. Very disappointing.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice house. The front door is severely warped so neither the queens lock nor the deadbolt can close. There is construction across the street. The construction company claimed both sides of the road so we had nowhere to park. We had an unpleasant interaction with the construction crew when we dated Park in front of our rental. There was a coordination issue where the next tenants asked to check in early and we're told it was okay. We were ask asleep at 1130 when the next tenants wakes in asking why we were there (door wouldn't lock). That could have ended badly. There's too few towels and the cookware needs to be replaced. Other than that, great living room, comfortable beds, and excellent location.
