Quaint, convenient & clean

This property is centrally located and we easily biked around to everything. There were restaurants and a gas station in walking distance. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and neighbors were friendly and quiet. The bed was so comfortable, and the adjustable head of bed was so nice! I feel the price may have been on the high side due to Spring Break. I’d like to stay again and hope the price may be more reasonable in other times of the year.Overall, we loved the place and the location.

Good value for a short trip (3 nights)

We needed a reasonably priced spot to sleep while visiting Key West for the first time and this fit the bill. We drove in from Miami, so had a car to manage - parking is an issue! There are few open spots for visitors, so plan accordingly. Great coffee spot right around the corner and a few walking distance eating places if not staying near the Duval Street center at dinner time. Would benefit from a little more local information in the space (Notebook of menus, maps, top tourist spots, checkout information, etc) to help orient the first time visitor, but the host was very responsive when we had a problem during the stay. Good trip!

Quiet location

Quiet, small apartment that is close to everything if using a bike. The bed was comfortable, apartment clean, and met all our needs. The only downside was not much space to park 2 bikes. We struggled to find space each night to lock up our bikes. The host was very responsive and easy to reach for any needs or questions. Would definitely stay here again.

Another Great One

We always stay at this location when available. There’s another one at the rear of the property and it was a good spot but we’re spoiled by this one. We’ve stayed here so much it is almost like a second home. It’s well appointed, the shower is huge and the place is cozy and has the lived in feel to it. There’s plenty of basics in the kitchen, full size fridge and stove, the bed is outstanding and adjustable, and there’s even beach chairs to use while staying. Marilyn is a great host and super responsive. She makes sure you’re notified of anything or takes care of issues as soon as possible if something comes up. We had no problems and will definitely be back soon!

This is the perfect place for a 3 day trip to Key West. Very cute in a quiet neighborhood. You do have to walk a little to Duval Street which was fine for us.

Travelled with partner
Cute, older place in good location, with nice front porch. You can walk, but we rented bikes, and glad we did. Because you have to park on street and only in designated areas, it's hard to find a spot. Place did not seem that clean. Floors were really dirty. Walked 10 steps after getting out of shower and our feet were black!

We always love our stay at this location. Marilyn is a wonderful host and treats her return visitors very well. The place is located just a few blocks from anything you want to do in Key West, very cute and comfortable place, and meets our needs perfectly. We love the friendliness of the neighbors and the home is very well maintained.

Weekend getaway

Overall, we were satisfied, however, the mattress was too soft, our hips (and we are not old by any means) were hurting every morning from being sunken in the soft mattress. The rugs and the couch could have been cleaned or replaced (stained all over). The smell could have been better too. However, the kitchen and bathroom were cleaned, very well stocked with clean towels and pots and pans and appliances. We did enjoy our stay.

Cute spot for a Key West weekend

Key West Retreat provided a cute home base for our weekend on the island. The location is convenient if you want to walk/bike around Key West. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, we felt right at home. Rooms were pleasant and the porch was a nice extra touch.

Perfect location in Key West to stay

The flat is nice, well kept and in a great location, pretty much anything is within a 15 minute walk. We parked and didn’t get back in the car until we left. Plenty of food options close by (Sandy’s Cafe is great), and a food market is a short block away. Our only issues were minor; We did not receive the instructions on how to enter the unit prior to arrival, but a call to the host solved that quickly, and in the listing in the Vrbo Property Amenities section, it listed: “Things to do • Bicycles on site • Boat on site …” But our host said those things were not availble on site, though could be rented. When we go back to visit Key West, we will seriously consider renting 1020 Varela again.

First of the property is very nice and had everything you could need for a stay in key west. Its about a 15m walk from DuVal which is just far enough away from the nightlife. The host was communicative and we had absolutely no issues. Awesome stay!
