We loved staying at Casa atlantica - in fact I don't think the website photos do it justice at all!!! The sliding 'wall of glass' out onto the balcony overlooking the atlantic was just fantastic - and south facing so an absolute sun trap. We found the place so peaceful and relaxing that we actually spent many days lying on the sunbeds on our balcony, gin and tonic in hand, reading some of the many books in the apartment, rather than exploring the keys (which we still did, but not every day). There were a few small hiccups eg. the smoke alarm being pretty sensitive so cooking needed to be done with care, but otherwise we had a brilliantly relaxing holiday. Btw our favourite restaurant by far, was Louie's Backyard, not the cheapest but definitely the best food we had all fortnight (we even went twice !).
This was a very attractive, clean and well supplied condo in a great location. We spent many enjoyable hours on the balcony. I highly recommend it.
My wife and I went to Key West for the first time to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We are not big Florida fans but thought we would give it a try. We wanted a condo a bit off the beaten path and wanted it to be on the water. Casa atlantica was perfect in every sense. Joyce at agency was very helpful giving us the whole scoop on the city. When we arrived at the condo it was sparkling. The all glass living area and the awesome view is breath taking. The pictures do not do it justice. It is so much nicer than that. There is some wear and tear on the cabinets and fixtures but the stucco romantic rooms and the fabulous art more than make up for it. We rented bikes from Recycle and they were great and delivered them right to our door. This is definitely the way to go when you are at Key West. We moved the car only once the entire week! I would highly recommend the Danger Sunset Wine cruise and the Danger all day snorkeling and kayaking adventure. Captain Dee's is the best! And Salute is a great restaurant to end the day. Great trip, great place, we will be back!
The place was great for what we were looking for. The view was amazing and the balcony was awesome. I would recommend some new furniture to make the place a little more comfy.
Overall we had a great trip. The accommodations while not luxurious were adequate. The lack of a shower curtain in the bathroom could lead to problems with a wet floor so we needed to be careful when exiting the shower. Another problem we encountered was the fact that the City dumped seagrass collected from the beaches in the area next to our condo which lead to a sometimes very toxic odor and prevented us from sitting on the deck. I know parking is at a minimum in the City and when the City enforces a new parking arrangement for the Condo it will be difficult to park near the condo. Management should try to arrange a parking solution in the near future.
During our warm summers the sea grass collects on our beaches and occasionally gives off a sulphur sent. It happens throughout the island chain . There's 3 parking spots across the street, along the street. The city just changed this where there was at least 6 spots. Luckily, there's a side street less than a block away providing plenty of free off-street parking
Have been staying here for the last 15 years+++. Love it. Its a perfect spot for our needs and events we take part in during this time in Key West. Always feels like home each time. Look forward to many years more.
I have stayed at Casa atlantica previously and had always wanted to return. No place any closer to the wated anywhere on Key West! Far enough away from Duval to live like a local but close enough to get to the action when desired. Did have a small issue with termites hatching in the bedroom. Please spray!
We are happy that these guests returned to to stay with us again! Termites swarn in a very short and cyclical manor in the Spring. Most buildings in the subtropics have them and a simple spray does not stop the insects from swarming. The swarming is quick process and it ends in just a few days.
Loved the location and layout of this vacation home. First time we ever rented a place rather than staying in a hotel. We are hooked! Great experience. Few minor amenitites we felt should have been included (like paper supplies) but cannot compalin considering everything else we did receive. We would recommend this spot to anyone who wants privacy but is close enough to the action around town, if you want to take it in.
Fantastic location, great service from Rent Key West.
What's not to love about Casa atlantica?! The full width of the unit is right on the ocean, with a tiki hut right on the beach in the back yard. We woke up to sunrise on the balcony every morning. Plus, the place is absolutely immaculate and filled with beautiful art and architecturally designed interior details. The location is close enough to town to walk in, but far away to avoid the bustle and noise. The unit is right in between two wonderful public beaches. So each morning we took a long beach walk. The unit is comfortably appointed. You have everything you need. The only thing missing is a pool. However, there is a public pool within five minutes which we did enjoy and use almost daily. The rental agency is top drawer. They are on top of every detail and did an outstanding job. You won't go wrong with this combination!
When staying in Key West you cannot ask for a better place to stay. If and when we go back there is no doubt in my mind were I would go for lodging. The Casa atlantica is a dream vacation condo. Nicely decorated, great views and quite. The rental staff are a-one and made our stay enjoyable, informative and helped us immensely with the parking tips that saved us some headaches and cash. We love Key West,the Casa atlantica and the friendly people who made it all possible. Thanks, ED & Gail
If you want views this is the home to rent. You will not be disappointed. The service from check in to problem solving was excellent. The location was nice and it was far enough away from the hopping square to be peaceful and quiet. The amenities were good. The furniture in the living area was not comfortable. Would not reccomend for the elderly. The stairs are not for sissys and the bath tub was very hard to get into and out of. We liked best the restful balcony with the great views and liked least the uncomfortable sofa and chairs, the deep bath tub and the many stairs.
The reason we stayed at this location is because we were tired of staying at the older Key west Hotel / Motels. We were so happy with our stay there, it surpassed all our expectations. The pictures on line were good but did not catch the beauty of this location. The Staff at KW Rental was great before and during our stay. Brad was great on preparations, Steve was great on our arrival and we loved our cleaning lady with her personlity and fruity colored crocs. If you choose to stay here please leave it like you found it because we will be back next year hopeing to enjoy the beauty of this condo.
Casa Atlantica One Bedroom condo has both positives and negatives but the positives generally outweight the negatives. Positives: Great ocean view, location next to Higgs beach, large balcony, comtemporary design, comfortable bed, elegant livingroom & bathroom design. Negatives: 2 flights of stairs (no elevator)make luggage/groceries etc challenging, somewhat dated furnishings, improper light bulbs cause dark lighting at night,open shower design with no curtain makes a mess, some broken cabinet hinges. In summary, all except the stairs could be easily fixed at minimal expense to dramatically improve the property to 5 stars. An outdoor dining table and chairs on the large deck would also be a pleasant addition.
3-4 times larger then a hotel room. 8 sliding glass panels, tall ceilings. Great view of Higgs Beach from remodeled deck. Good service, good value.
The check-in service was quick and easy. We had a lovely time with no hassles. We wanted a place with a view of the ocean and this exceeded our expectations. The view from the apartment and deck is magnificent. The apartment was clean and nicely decorated. If we chose to say in, the apartment had everything we needed to prepare a quick meal to enjoy at home while we took in the view. We did not have a car or rent a car. After the intitial taxi ride to the apartment, A&M bikes came directly to our door and we were able to rent bikes for the week with little hassle. The walk to Duval street ie easily doable. I wish our stay could have been longer!
The apartment certainly had been decorated with flare. Is a little worn and tired and some things were impractical or just don't work. Several light bulbs were out; sound system didn't work; door of one of the kitchen cupboards had a broken hinge and was unusable (or dangerous). Couldn't use the shower without a major mop-up afterwards. There was insufficient lighting to read comfortably after dark. Communications with RentKW was always professional and courteous
We are happy to announce that this condo has a new sound system with an iPod docking station! This property is one of our best renters as guests come back year after year for its incredible views and unique architecture.
Your staff was great...thank you...we really appreciated being able to check in early and check out late...made our trip feel longer. The views from Casa Atlantica are awesome. The living room furniture is very uncomfortable. We had pin ants in the living room. They should fix the music system. The whole apartment is wired for sound but the CD/Tape/Tuner unit unit shuts itself down after 15 seconds...so not music and no dancing. The fact that you need to rig a shower curtain in the bathroom facing the main street is odd. They should put a TV in the MBR. The login information for the internet didn't work so I could not check e-mails, etc...THANK YOU..it was wonderful to disconnect
My husband and I spend a luxurious six days at the casa atlantica. I was drawn to stay here due to the original design of the interior. The actual interior far exceeded the pictures of the website. In terms of location, the casa is farther from the main areas..we used the bus which meets at a corner close to the property, and a cab which costs about 7 dollars fare to the duval street area. The property is beautiful, comfortable...having the kitchen made our stay very enjoyable. The rental office was easy to work with and play our stay. Would recommend to anyone!
This rental unit is beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed having a kitchen that allowed us to eat part of our meals in and some of them out. This is always a huge cost savings. The deck is very large and peaceful. The rental company was very helpful and checking in was a breeze. I would recommend renting this unit and dealing with Rent Key West vacations.
We had a great two-week stay at the Casa Atlantica One and especially enjoyed the fact that it's a little off the beaten path. Everything you'd want from a vacation rental and then that view! We spent most of the stay sitting on the deck gazing out over the Atlantic. Property mother, Glenda, was a wonderful host as well!
We stay at Casa Atlantica every year...it is home to us. Our first stay was the studio and we have stayed in the studio once or twice since but we normally stay in the one bedroom. The studio needed some upgrading on the condition of the appliances in the kitchen the last time we were in it.........and the closet arrangement needs help badly, but it is a wonderful romantic room and the private deck is just the best!! The one bedroom is way cool.........we love it! The stove in the kitchen is the same one that was there I think since we have been going and it really has needed to be replaced the last couple of years. We love Key West and have had a great relationship with the people we have dealt with at Rent Key West since we first went to Key West. Connie Hopper Great Service Love the Home Location...close enough to the action and far enough away I like best the view from the deck!! I least like dragging the luggage up the stairs.......tee hee
Centrally located to be within walking distance of Duval Street as well as Smathers Beach. It was smaller and a very quiet setting. There were nice maintained beaches just next door to the home and White Street Pier was a nice location to view the sunset without the crowds of Malory Square. Although we did not travel with our dogs on this trip, I liked that there was a dog park within a block. Also nearby was a wonderful small botanical garden that, had we not stayed near, would have been an attraction we would have missed in Key West and we enjoyed the beautiful flowers and views it offered. The decor of the home was beautiful and very functional. It had all standard electronics to enjoy time in the home. Having shared laundry access within the home was also helpful. It was private and quiet and you felt that you had the place to yourself. On a down-side, the deck overlooking the ocean was lacking. It could use a new coat of stain and new patio furniture. Although it served it's function, it was not very nice looking. The sliding door going out to the deck was loose and on windy nights we had to place towels along the bottom to stop the rattling noise it made.
This was wonderful place, would highly recommend to anyone coming to Key West. Perfect location and wonderful view. Went for our honeymoon and look forward to going back again!
We enjoyed our stay, however found it a bit inconvenient to have to remove and wash the bedding before leaving. Also, the occupant on the first floor was very nosy and always checked on our company. We are not young people------in fact, senior citizens and the only company we had was our children who also were not teenagers and we made no noise to bother them.
We love Key West. And we love to stay on the ocean side. This rental opportunity looked great on the website. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a nasty neighbor who barked at us about being quiet for the week. We were just climbing the stairs with our luggage! He was the cleaning help for this managment company and had free living space below our rental. Not a great experience. The furniture was uncomfortable. The view was great. We will go to Key West again, but will not use this management company. When we advised the company of this unacceptable behavior, no attempt to make an adjustment or apology was made, just "yes, we know that he is unkind sometimes". Really, then fire him!!!!!!!!
The Casa Atlantica One Bedroom is a popular property with sweeping views of the ocean. The "nasty neighbor" is married to the property manager hired by the owner of the building who also does the cleaning and pays rent to live in the building. He was having serious health issues at the time and medications were playing a large part in mood swings that this guest witnessed. It was an unfortunate incident, and our verbal apologies were made. Apparently not enough. The gentleman still resides there at the pleasure of the owner, not the rental agent. The apartment itself was featured in Architectural Digest in 1981 for it's Moorish interior design and has built-in furniture with a minimal feel. We have many repeat guests each year who love to return to the apartments. As the reviewer said, the view is great, well it's actually phenomenal
This rental is near everything yet not in the heart of Duval. You experience Key West the shops, the restuarants and the nite life. But on the other side you get the view of the Ocean. With sliders that open up the complete back wall onto a deck with a view. The apartment is clean and has everything you need. We have stayed at Casa Atlantica several times and have recommended it to our freinds. Hope to go back soon.
Have been staying here yearly for the past 10 years. Love the view, the quietness, and the space. Its like visiting an old friend. Can really relax here, what we need. It clean, and well maintained every time.
Modern appartement on oceanfront ideally suited for couple wanting a quite retreat. Nicely furnished equipped. Only disadvantages were broken deckchairs and daily caterpillars removing seeweed.
