Our stay could not have been better, the cottage was spotless, the bed was clean and comfortable, and we met some wonderful people while we were there. the location was great we were able to walk to just about everything. we are planning on going back there again.
Recently, my sister and I took a week long vacation to Key West and stayed at the Colony Poolside. The place was great for the 2 of us. The location was prefect, about 3 1/2 short blocks above Duval Street so it was quiet, but close to the action. The times we didn't want to walk up the block we took a bike-cab. The house was clean and looked freshly painted and decorated, (a ocean-theme, very cute.) We had to purchase our own toilet paper and a wine bottle opener, so when you stay there say thanks and think of us when you open that bottle of wine! Jane & Amy
We stayed in Key West for five days and found the accommodations very updated, clean and accessible to all the attractions. The staff at Rent Key West were helpful and informative and the check in process was very flexible. Having a pool to relax by when you didn't want to go to a more populated beach was great. Kitchen was fully stocked and lessened our expenses by being able to cook great meals at home. Finding parking in the area can be tricky as it is a residential neighborhood, but it never took us more than a five minute walk. We would definitely come back to the Colony poolside!
The first survey sent must not have gone through. After 16 years of vacationing in Key West this place would be our first pick for next year. Loved the fully equiped kitchen and cottage decor. It would of been nice to have a telephone (just got my cell phone bill - Yikes. Also did not totally understand Direct TV - could not get a signal at all in bedroom. Would have liked floaties for pool. Would of liked a grill.
My husband and I absolutely loved your facitlities. The only thing we would change is having a one floor condo. I have a bad back and it was difficult to go up and down the stairs. But thankfully there was another restroom down, so I limited my trips up the stairs. The condo was clean, beautiful and comfy!!! We will definetly recommend and come back. Thanks for making our stay in Key West wonderful.
The colony poolside was much more than we expected. Our friends stayed there and recommended it to us. The cabana had everything we needed, was clean and comfortable (TV in living room was fuzzy, but it really wasn't that big of a deal) It was a quiet and cozy rental area, close to DuVall Street, but back out of the way. We rented bikes when we arrived and rode them for the entire 6 days we were there -- best choice for transportation while you are there. We had a fabulous trip and will be back, staying at the Colony Poolside. What I liked least about it....we had to go home!
We had a wonderful time. The cottage was very nice, a little repair could be done, but to be expected for a place that is rented out week after week. Clean, cool, beautiful grounds. Great pool. Management company was wonderful. We will definitely return!
Our accommodations were excellent--roomy, attractive, comfortable--centrally located. We beached, swam, sailed, cruised out sea and snorkeled, did a ghost tour, visited museums and roughly 20 restaurants--all from a very leisurely bike-ride or walking. It is a city i will return to and a company insist upon using. The easiest vacation getaway I have ever had.
We have traveled to Key West several times. We usually stay in one of the chain hotels. This time we decided to try one of the cottage rentals close to downtown to have the ultimate key west experience. The cottage was very comfortable, cozy, clean, and very convenient to all the things downtown that are happening everyday. We were able to walk back and forth to Duval St. The pool was clean and warm. It was a great stay and we would do it again.
I am torn between 2 stars and 3 stars. Cleanliness was the missing factor. It was unfortunate to find a large cockroach in the toilet bowl on arrival. But one can understand that sort of thing happening. However, the kitchen tiles never looked clean; the grouting in particular needed a good scrub. The bedroom furnishings were dusty. The pool area was never sparkling. And neither was the pool. All in all the place conveyed a feeling of 'grottiness' (look it up). It was a reasonable location, easy to walk or drive to beaches and restaurants. Car parking was reasonable. I like Key West. I wish I had spent a few dollars more for a better place. Next time I will.
This cottage has just undergone a major renovation, including new kitchen cabinetry, bedding and a fresh coat a paint throughout. The grounds and pool are maintained twice a week. The cottage is serviced by an exterminator once a month. Unfortunately, bugs can be an occasional intrusion when living in the tropics. The Colony Poolside Cabana ia an economical alternative which allows guests easy access to all that Old Town Key West has to offer.
We stayed at the colony poolside on Olivia st for the first week of March 2009. The unit is very nice, the layout was open with a large separate bedroom. I liked the fact that we could open the large doors in the morning and get a nice breeze throughout the whole place. The pool has a small sitting area around it, but there are spots for both sun and shade throughout the day. It's really about 4 blocks from upper Duval St - close enough, but not too close. The only complaint we had is the fact that in this unit there are still some of the old vent style windows that do not completely close. This made for very noisy nights between the 3am,3:30am,4am rooster (every night) and all of the construction going on around it early in the mornings. (remember this unit is only 2 blocks from Truman st). It would be an easy fix to change these vents to closeable new windows, and that would have made for a much better stay. We go to Key West to rest/recharge and the noisy nights were a big
We flew to Miami then drove down to Key West for our anniversary. We were thrilled with our accommodation and surroundings - such a beautiful little piece of paradise. Unfortunately, the day after we arrived, we were under a mandatory evacuation due to Tropical Storm Fay. After talking to a number of locals, we decided to hunker down and take our chances. We stocked up on candles, canned food, and lots and lots of wine. As predicted by the locals, the storm passed with little damage. Ironically, it was one of our best trips ever!
First I'd like to say that the location of the home was very convenient to everything. But it was old and not very clean. I thought the bed was uncomfortable. The grounds were not well kept, and the pool was cold so that I could not use it. Not worth the money. The thing I liked the best was the location as well as the fact that it was private and quiet. If you are looking for luxury though, I would not recommend.
After viewing pictures of this cottage on line I was impressed with the layout, decor and proximity to the pool. So, I was looking forward to our stay there. Disappointed is the only word I can use to describe how I felt when we arrived and actually saw this space in person. The pool area and the surrounding grounds were not maintained. The deck patio furniture was filthy and the deck itself had not been cleaned of leaves and other debris. The interior of the cottage appeared neat, however, it really was not clean. In addition to this there was a strong odor that permeated the entire space throughout our stay. I would not recommend this rental to any of my friends.
