Great place to stay in heart of Old Town
The place is nice, but it's really all about location. We were able to use this as a base of operation to explore all of Old Town easily. It's really about .5 mile or less from most stuff you might want to do. The Hemingway house is just a short walk down the street away. Get tired or want to drop off something? Just pop back in, no trouble. The owners were also very nice and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again the next time I am in Key West!

Location, location
A great little cottage for staying in Key West. Incredibly close to everything you would want to do, my wife and I only moved our rental car once the entire week, making me wonder if Uber would have been a better choice. A couple minor criticisms would be that my wife wished they had a full length mirror, and I would have liked a more options in the kitchdn as it was tough to cook our own meals. Regardless, I'm not sure you could have a better experience staying in Key West if you are lloking for privacy and to do your own thing. If I ever come back to visit, staying at this cottage will be my first consideration for sure!

Key West getaway
It's when something goes unexpectedly wrong that you get the true measure of how responsive the property manager is. Noticed on the first day that the air conditioning was not operating correctly. Contacted property manager by text, got immediate reply and a service contractor was there in 20 minutes, problem fixed in 40 minutes. Effective, efficient and excellent response. Couldn't ask for more.

Perfect spot right in the middle of everything
This cottage is great. Its an old school cottage, so dont expect a new hotel room. The wood walls have miles on them, but everything its freshly painted and very clean. The furniture is comfortable, the bedrooms are good size and also perfect after a long day and night out. You can go across the street to Truman for a nice peaceful walk or go one block over for the music and fun. If you love Hanks and the Caroline area, you will not find a better location. We will definitely stay here when we come back.

Cute property with great location
Cute little cottage perfect for my wife and I. Location is ideal for those who want to be in the heart of old town , only a block from Duval and within a stone’s throw of several great places to get drinks or food. The home is older , but was clean and comfortable. We had to reach out to the owners for two small issues which were addressed very quickly.

Wonderful Cottage
This cottage was clean and very comfortable. Seemed to be newly renovated throughout. The kitchen has all new appliances. The hosts provided full Xfinity cable to a very large and new Samsung TV as well as very fast X1 wifi. As other reviewers have noted, the cottage is convenient to everything you'll need including Fausto's Food Palace, a very well stocked grocery store, just 4 blocks away. Highly recommended.
