We were pleasantly surprised by the space and layout of the place. Location is great! It’s adjacent to one public beach and only a 2-3 minute drive to another on the southwest side. It is also far enough away that you don’t have to deal with the tourists from the cruise ships.
The place had nearly everything we needed. Towels, chairs to take to beach, pool noodles, and plenty of kitchen items. We only needed to hit Publix for some items to stock refrigerator. I would consider this unit again on future trips to Key West.
I deducted a star because the unit is a little worn. You can see it most in the bathrooms. This is mostly cosmetics, like different colors of silicone around tub and shower tiles, doors frayed along sides, sink dripping, shower control only gets hot when handle in about 10 o’clock position, patio door not seemingly lockable, patio having lots of spider webs as if it’s been without use. Well, we didn’t use because of all the webs. Some repairs should be considered.
About Key West:
Being surrounded by water, the island has very little beach, as seen throughout other parts of Florida. The beaches, for the most part, have large rocks, seemingly to prevent erosion, along them. There are a few spots you can find a sandy stretch similar to most other beaches. However, the water is nice, clear, and shallow. We walked out maybe 50 yards and the water was still only about mid chest for my 13 year old daughter. Must have water shoes for beach to pass rocks
