The convenience of having the extra little items, like shampoo and hand soap was nice. The kitchen was very well stocked.

We all had such a great time. Very clean cute 2 bedroom 2 bath house. In a very quiet neighborhood. We loved the pool area the best. Beautiful palm trees and flowers surround the pool area. The host Rick was a great neighbor. Very helpful with information on beaches and where to go for a great meal.
The house had a smell that got into our clothes and luggage. Very musty. But we had a very nice time, pool was nice and the walking distance to duval was great. Owners live next door and are very nice.
The carriage house is comfortably furnished; kitchen has nothing lacking; pool and grounds are cozy and well maintained. Perfect location and easy to get to sights and beaches.
We really enjoyed our stay and plan to book again next time we visit the FL Keys. The cottage was clean and comfortable, and close to everything we wanted to do. My family also really enjoyed the pool, it was a perfect way to cool down after outdoor activities.
Great cottage stay with an old time Key West vibe and cool refreshing pool. Quiet neighborhood location. Really enjoyed meeting and having a cold beer with the owner, Conch Republic ConsulGeneral Richard! Check and checkout couldn’t have been easier.
Great stay. Property manager Roberta was great to deal with. Comfortable home with all amenities included. Nice pool and location was central to all activities, including Duval St. We has a great time!!!
The carriage house was perfect. It was clean and had great amenities. We used the beautiful pool! The kitchen is well stacked. Having a full refigerator was awesome! They had it stacked with soap, shampoo, paper towels. All sorts of cooking utensils available. Having the washer and dryer was so helpful! Location is perfect!! Easily can walk anywhere you need to get. Roberta sent all needed info to check in. We loved it there and hope to return!!
A little issue first couple of days but they took care of it as soon as possible. Great place to stay.
Cozy, great location, would definitely stay again.
