Great place to stay
Property is close to everything one needs: grocery, dining, beaches, and bars. Property managers, Whitney and Shana, were very attentive and responsive.

Great month in Key West
We loved this house and would love to rent it again. We spent most of our time poolside. Whitney was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. Location is great and neighborhood was quiet.

Cozy House but needs work
We stayed in the house for the month of July. The location is good. You have easy access to the major roads and the street is quiet. The management company is very attentive. Upon entering we were a bit disappointed with the overall state of the house for the money we paid. The walls need to be repainted, the closet situation in the first bedroom looks like the door fell off so they just put up a cheap curtain, there is a huge gap in the doorframe of the front door of the home, the mirrors were hung upside down. It felt like there was not much attention to detail. The rooms were cozy enough but it is a space better suited for 2 or 3 people. The outside pool is lovely but there is quite a bit of mold in the corners and the last renters that commented about the trash being around the back yard are correct. I think the deck and awning were brand new as they are in great shape but the outside furniture needs to be replaced (particularly the lounge chairs). The beds were comfortable and we were provided plenty of linens. I will say there was a grill and the use of two bikes which we didn’t know before we got there and were a great addition to our stay. The kitchen is packed with everything you can need as far as equipment. Again, it’s just they little things and when you are paying nearly $7k for a month, it feels like they add up. Again, it’s a solid rental but it can be made so much better with a bit of upkeep.

Just Another Day in Paradise!!
I can't say enough about this property. My daughter and I stayed just about 3 months and it was absolutely wonderful! When we had to leave, I left a little piece of me there. I will miss Hemingway's Hideout!! You will not regret staying in this amazing little home.
