Great place. Good location. There should be a book or at least a lamenated 8X10 paper with instructions. We didn't see the tiny note that was pasted on the wall near the sink for a few days. The note instructed us to put the sheets or towels in the wash but there wasn't any laundry detergent. We had to buy sponges to wash the dishes because there weren't any and there was no dishwasher. No sheets for couch and had to call to ask for them. Air conditioner wasn't working when we arrived. They sent someone to fix and he came quickly.

The place was adorable. So cute and perfect for what we needed while on our stay in key west. The place is newly remodeled. Beds were comfy. Not a lot of space as this is only 500 sq feet but 4 of us stayed comfortably. The only complaint I would have is there is no set parking. You have to fight for one of the 5 spaces out front and they are very hard to come by as they are not permitted for the rentals.

We had the best trip. Beds were super comfortable. The location of property made exploring the island so convenient. The best excursion we did was the dolphin/sandbar boat tour.

This is a great little 2 bedroom with a pullout couch, appointed kitchen I used to cook breakfast each day. Right at the intersection of US 1 and Simonton. Nancy, the property manager was great to work with and easy to communicate with. I will stay here again next year.
