The house was great! The only thing I would say it needs is new pillows and sheets in the master! Kind of nasty with lots of stains! Great location and would love to stay again sometime!
We stayed here for 10 days and would stay again. I will start with the few negatives- the decor is a little dated and needs a little freshing up. The floors were a little dirty when we arrived. Finally, the number we were given to call was out of service! Considering we were there for 10 days there was nothing major to complain about. We loved the backyard, the photos do not do any justice to how large it really is. We absolutely loved the location and the space of the house was very comfortable for the two of us. We had no problems with safety or maintenance, place was great. I liked working through RentKW, they were easy and no problems whatsoever. We both said we would definitely stay there again, without a doubt. Please enjoy!
I would definitely stay here again. I enjoyed my stay. Private back yard. Only downside would be the bedroom situation is a bit weird. No ceilings in either room and glass door. It was a non-issue in retrospect because we made due. The pool is HUGE for Key West and beautiful. You cannot ask for a better location. 1 block from My Blue Heaven for breakfast every morning is a huge plus. I would definitely recommend this place and I would stay again.
The location of this house can't be beat! Also, the backyard/pool is incredible! The pool is much larger than most and the yard is lush and tropical. The front yard gated parking is also a plus. The best part was the pool & location. The worst part was the uncomfortable sofa and 2nd br. bed. Also the floors were very dirty upon our arrival, but immediately after complaining, a janitor was sent to clean them. Also, the home was advertised as having a dvd player, but did not, but after we complained, one was brought over the next afternoon. Overall, it was a great house - certainly not luxurious, but definitely adequate.
This cottage is only 1/2 block off Duval, but is incredibly peaceful. We were warned about noise from nearby bars but it didn't affect us. The pool is 30' long, and the huge yard is kept immaculate by daily pool/yard service. Inside, it was all nicely kitted out, and when we had a problem with the dishwasher (no water getting in to it) the landlords fixed it swiftly, and left us a nice little note! The bedroom (and the bed) was huge - though this may change as builders were due to move in after we left. It was fun looking at stars through the skylight - but if you like a dark bedroom, this wouldn't be for you. Key Lime Calypso is next door to a dessert restaurant 'Better than Sex', which you have to try - more than once in our case. It's all about location - we were able to walk everywhere - to shops, bars, restaurants and attractions - the cottage is close to them all.
Upon arriving at the house the key they gave us wouldn't unlock the door. We had to wait for a caretaker to show up to open the door from the inside. Going into the place the first thing we noticed was that the dishwasher was inop and stayed that way during our entire stay. In the bedroom there is a skylight right over the bed so forget about sleeping in. If you have a skylight there at least have one that can be closed. The house has a tin roof and right over the house is a tree that has some sort of balls on it and all during the night it sounded like someone was on the roof tap dancing. There was a cat on the property that stayed all the time. It was our responsibility to see that it got fed morning and night and we even had to buy food to feed it. If you're allergic to cats this isn't the place for you. They advertise a private pool but, it's not private at all. The house right next door has a clear view of the pool. Also the pool was over chlorinated every day. The T.V
This one-bedroom cottage is an incredible find! It's got everything you need for a great stay in Key West - full kitchen, laundry, parking, charcoal grill, back patio, and private pool. It's less than a block off of Duval Street, the heart of Old Town, so you'll have access (walking or by scooter, which I highly recommend - fun!) to all the restaurants, bars and shops you can want. If this place is available when you're headed to Key West, don't miss the chance to stay there. It's very affordable, and you won't regret it!
Rent Key West was a pleasure to work with. The house was a perfect little paradise for the two of us. Reading the journal informed us of the cat and roosters that came with the house and they provided us with hours of entertainment. The off street parking behind the gate is a great security feature. Oh, and the pool was beautifully maintained and large. We will plan our next Key West vacation around this house's availability.
The house was very comfortable and pleasant but it wasn't very clean upon check in. Not bad, but it definitely could have been better. Kitchen faucet broke the first day and it took almost 3 days to get it repaired and it was very annoying to not have water in the kitchen for that long. The outside pool area was definitely the best part of the house. I wasn't happy with the overflowing ashtrays that were left from the last renter but once those were taken care of, it was a great time. I adored the cat that has adopted the property but I think I should have been informed that he/she existed before I rented the property. While I loved having him/her there I had a friend visit who is highly allergic to cats and he couldn't be anywhere near the cat and eventually had to stop coming over. I would have preferred knowing about the cat in advance. And Brock, the guy who takes care of the pool was a pleasure to visit with every morning. I really did have a great time even with the few problems
This home is right in the middle of it all, and what a wonderful little place! Our only issues were with the bar - the music we got used to, but people drift out from the bar right up to the fence in the backyard late at night. We were woken up one night by a couple of partying people having their own private soiree. Other than that the pool is excellent, much larger than most cottages. The kitchen desperately needs an update, but who wants to cook on vacation anyways?! We absolutely loved the kitty that stays on the property. He meows when you walk in the door, ready for his dinner. Don't forget to buy him cat food when you run for staples.
We rented from Rent Key West and I would rent from them again. The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived. Check in and check out was very quick. If we needed anything all we had to do was call. The house is small but really all you need for no longer than we were in the house. It can accomadate up to four with no problems. It is nothing fancy (could use some updating) but it was clean and comfortable. It has it's own private parking spot which is really nice. The pool area was very nice. It really was a good size pool. There was 4 adults and we had plenty of room to spare. It had an umbrella table with chairs and some lounge chairs and lots of foilage. When we arrived the pool hadn't been cleaned(lots of leaves in it) but all it took was a phone call to the rental company and the guy was right there to clean it and it was cleaned every morning during our stay. That was great! At that time of year (June) the sun starting shining on the pool area around 11 a
The house is cute and parking is great. The house is 3" from the bar next door. It was quite noisy and kept us awake more than once until 3:00am. During the day it is near an outdoor pool club that plays loud music all day. The heat for the pool was extra and only worked once all week. We made repeated calls to have it fixed. If you are a hardcore party person it is right rental for you. It is very close to all the action. I wanted the private pool and a bit of quiet so it was not me.
Key Lime Calypso is a spacious 1 bedroom home located centrally within downtown Key West and also contains the rarity of off street parking. Because of the home?s location, it does get some noise/music from nearby bars. The bar mentioned above has since been turned into a dessert shop, so that will alleviate some of the music going on later into the night. If you are looking for a smaller home with a private pool, a prime location, and off street parking, Key Lime Calypso is the one for you!
I have stayed in this house several times. My wife and I love the king size bed and the private pool. The location can not be beat in any manner. The people at Rent Key West Vacations are wonderful to deal with and will work with you in any manner.(Go Joyce)The things we liked least is when it rains the roof leaks in the bedroom around the skylight, the furniture is in poor shape and is very uncomfortable. In short the owners need to spend some money on it and then would be one of the nicest little places in Key West. And Yes we will stay there again
The cottage was a great "get away from it", but yet was right in the heart of the main area Key West, just off Duval St. As the property was centrally located along Duval St, it was also quiet and peaceful. The private pool was great to have and the garden had a lovely sunny aspect, but there was enough shade to get out of the sun if you wanted too. The pool was welcome as the main beaches on the island are too far to walk if you do not have access to a car. As eveything else though, shops, bars and places to it are all so close and within walking distance there is really no need for a car. The cottage all the facilities required and was spotlessly cleaned. If I visisted Key West, I would definately stay here again.
It is a wonderful, quite getaway.It has everything you need, except a corkscrew, we bought a cheap one then it broke so I took the bottle next door and they opened it. Location,location,location is perfect. Pool wonderful...we would definitely stay again.
This is a perfect place to stay. Beautiful pool, clean house and close to everything.Hope to get back soon. Bill and Virginia Kolar.
I have rented four times with rentkeywest. Twice for the summer at Olivia Cottage and two times for short stays at Calypso. Olivia Cottage is awesome, but it is a monthly rental which met my needs thoroughly when staying in 04 and 06. The KL Calypso was rented by me at the last minute for quick getaways. The location is the best thing about the house. It could use some updating especially in the bathroom. The bedroom is huge with a nice comfortable king bed and the outdoor space is nice because of the pool area. On my last stay there, the pool filtering system was not working at all and the pool was milky. The tree above the house dropped leaves in the pool and clogged the filter. I would have thought that should have been serviced on a regular basis. The owners of the house from the Bourbon Street Complex were quick in their efforts to resolve the problem and their pool maintenance man was diligent in his efforts but it still took four days to resolve. After contacting RKW,
My husband and I stayed for 2 weeks at Key Lime Calypso. We also got married! The location is great! The bar next door is no problem (meaning noise level). The guys are very nice too! As for the house we thought it was to much money for what we had. It is really run down. We both thought everything needed updateing.. i.e. furniture,bathroom,TV's,VCR-no DVD!Where do you even buy a VCR tape? The patio furniture was miss matched and old. The porch needed paint too. We also asked for new pillows and they were replaced by old stained ones. We did enjoy the pool and the cat. The roosters were great accept for the early morning wake ups. Sometimes at 4:30am! The parking is great to have too. Can fit 2 cars easily. Just one more thing we would like to thank the guys next door for the tickets to the New Years Eve Party! We had so much fun and met alot of nice people. My husband even proposed to me there!!! I also have to thank you guys for helping us find a person to marry us and she was such a
A great location within walking distance of almost everything you'd want to see or experience. The house and pool are well built and maintained. The only draw back to our stay was not having access to the internet which is important to our lifestyle. If the internet is not important to you then we highly recommend this vacation home.
