Fantastic location.

The convenient location cannot be overstated! Loved that we could walk to everything and still enjoy a quiet evening. Note that this is on the second floor, so you will need to be able to carry your luggage upstairs. There are many rentals in this building and they are not named. We struggled locating our unit and did so by chance when the door code worked. There is a sticker in the window of this unit, so be sure to ask for directions.

We spent 10 wonderful nights at La Dolce Vita and it was conveniently close to Old Town Key West and all the best beaches. This booking is amazing and you will not be disappointed. Checking in was so easy and the condo was spotless. I will definitely book this gem again when I return to Key West.

KEY WEST RETREAT

Very clean and organized. Location great. Parking for golf cart very challenging. Would be nice to offer a designated parking spot for price that you are paying. Air conditioning needs some improvement. You can not adjust thermastat under 72 degrees. Eventhough it was set at 72 the temperature stayed between 76-78 degrees. It is on 2nd floor as stated in property description but the steps are steep and there are many so pack luggage in small carryable bags. I would rate property between 3 1/2 to 4 stars. Property owners communicated well. It is a very small apt but well appointed.

Don't bring a car

You can walk everywhere but parking is an issue in Key West. We had to pay 40.00 a night to park and it was a long walk back. We were told that there is parking on the streets and parking lots but not for 24 hours. We did finally on our last day find a spot on a side street that is 24 hours but it is difficult to find because of the traffic. Good Luck, otherwise the artist that owns this cute little piece of heaven has done a superior job decorating.

Always a pleasure

We’ve stayed here four times previously and it’s always a great experience. The condo was immaculate with great amenities. The hosts are super. The location is within 10 yards of S Duval with great access to many restaurants, the beach and the Southernmost Point. While we were there, we booked again for next year.

The property was just as described and decorated with multiple bright colored walls. High ceilings give the rental a feeling of a bigger space. Your artwork displayed on the walls literally paints a picture of the Key West vibe. Loved the rental, thank you Debbie & Wolfgang.

Pretty much perfect

Apartment was perfect & clean. Location was great. My only bout of frustration was taking down where yhe pool was. Listing said to get a entry card to enter the pool with no address for the pool just the office... Also there was maybe another pool but only a street for a Location. This would be my only complaint. Seem thier needs to be better communicating between the property management business and the owner! Or just a better understanding of how or where these amenities are located... In the visit to the property management office they informed me that thier is not a entry card... just gave us a address.... which is another rental w the shared pool... Pool was great and private not much sun tho!
