a perfect stay

This property is amazingly situated and very well appointed. We have stayed here several times, and it does not disappoint in any respect. The convenience of location (and parking) is amazing and cannot be beat. It's enough off the main street to be comfortably quiet, but you can still enjoy the live music at a level which does not impede conversation while outside. Super clean with high end finishes. The private pool is mostly shaded, which is wonderfully refreshing after being out and about.

522 Bahama St

This a very nice house right in the middle of old town key west. It has a great outside area with a small pool/hot tub combination that also has a water fall wall. You are on the back side of Duvall st with all the amenities just a short walk away ( food store, Walgreens, CVS, restaurants, coffee, retail outlets and bike rentals). I would definitely rent this again

Would stay again, perfect size and location.

We enjoyed the property, all was perfect and what we expected except the bathrooms could have been a bit cleaner. We weren't sure about some of the sheets so we washed them to be safe.

Overall a very nice home and location. I was worried about noise from Duval street but it was very quiet. Home was nice and you can’t beat the location to all the activities and restaurants also. Steps to a well stocked Fausto’s supermarket. Very enjoyable.

Beautiful house in perfect location

My family had a wonderful vacation in Key West. This house was beautiful! I’ve stayed in Key West several times and this is by far my favorite location. Very close to Duval and the Marina. Lots of restaurants, coffee shops, nightlife and shopping at your fingertips. Will definitely stay here again.

Key West Property Review

The property is located in an excellent spot - close to all the activities on Duval St. It was a lovely home that comfortably accommodated my family of six. My family also enjoyed the little pool in our down time. We also found the property to be very clean and would definitely recommend this rental for anyone else considering a vacation in Key West.

Perfect house, perfect location

The house was perfectly located in Old Town Key West. We were able to walk everywhere and enjoy the different restaurants and attractions while still being close to base. The comprehensive briefing provided by the owner when we arrived told us everything we needed to know. The house was well furnished and equipped. The salt-water pool was perfect for our young grandchildren. With rooms spread over three floors, the three generations had space and privacy but with plenty of options and places to spend time together. We have already decided to return sometime in the future.

The location is definitely the best part of this rental, everything you could need is within a block or 2. Rental could definitely use a couple updates & a good cleaning, but was fine overall.

3rd stay at one of Mark's properties and it was great. The place was clean and well stocked with anything we would need. The heated pool was nice as the weather was cooler than expected on a couple days. Love the location...we walked or biked everywhere we went! Can't wait to come back!

Great Location

We’ve stayed at several properties in Key West over the years and the highlight of this property is the location. The house appeared clean, but does have a pest problem: roach motels on kitchen counter, closets, etc. We watched a roach scurry across kitchen counter one night. The amenities were not not quite equal to what we’ve been accustomed to at other properties: master shower had no place to put toiletries except on the floor, no kitchen dish rags, worn out mattresses, weather worn deck and outdoor furniture required caution to avoid slivers, hot tub smelled funky. Overall, it is probably a good value, and if you have no other rentals to compare it to, you’ll probably be perfectly happy.
