I was so pleased with the rental home, and the excellent location surprised my family. It took them a couple of days to realize we didn't have to drive anywhere. Everyone who came had a different favorite part of the vacation--there was something for everyone!
This was our 3rd stay at the Whitehead House. We love the location and the pool. It's great to stay in Key West and have a kitchen and laundry. We'll be back!
Online pictures do not do the property justice. Very spacious and loaded with everything you need.Little noisy at night but if you go to Key West to sleep early then maybe you should go to a different Key. Only gripe is the parking which allows one spot. Excellent week. Will return again for sure.
We expected a lot of fun and we got it.It is close to so much, we never had to travel far.
This was the best house ever! It suited our needs to a tee and was in the best location to suit everyone. One block off of Duval made it easy for everyone to get around, young and older alike. Definitely an easy walk to Mallory Square, wharf, dinning, and entertainment. The home itself was perfect. Since we had a full house I was worried about space, but the common living space and outdoor space were so open that no one felt like we were on top of each other. The fact that we were back off the street made it seem like we had our own little piece of Key West. Everyone we came in contact with, from the owner to Rent Key West staff were so helpful and nice. We will definitely be back!!
We have stayed at this rental previously and we do enjoy the property and location to Duval Street and Mallory Square. The nightlife on Duval Street this year was very annoying. We were told by residents in the area that the issue lies with a new bar The Alamo. The extreme loudness after midnight until 3 and 4 am will give us concerns for future visits.
The size and layout of the house is great (5 adults during our stay), but the noise from bands/patrons at nearby bars until late morning hours made it very difficult to get a restful night's sleep at this house. Compounding the issue is the fact that many of the windows don't securely close, allowing the noise to filter into the house. Like other reviews, some TLC needed but good location and layout as long as you're willing to give up some sleep during your vacation.
The house was great - upstairs bed height a little scary. Should be lowered a little bit. The little sugar ants get annoying, but we had a great time. It is a noisy location, but we enjoyed it- being so close to everything.
the location was great. the house needs some tender loving care. the bed in the upstairs was too high. we had to get something to stand on in order to get in the bed. ha! If either one of us had fallen out of bed, we would have broke something for sure. ha! have rented many houses from rent key west. I would have to say I would not chose this one again. but will continue to use rent key west for extened stays. I will be in key west for over the 4th of july.
My family (myself, my mom, 4 nieces) really enjoyed our 2 week stay at the Whitehead House. The services were definately adequate. We really enjoyed the location of the house. It was very near all the venues for children. The location of a parking lot behind the property was not too bad except on weekends when the noise level was at its peak, but tolerable. We did have some setbacks that would have made the trip much better for us: 1) The pool had not been cleaned. On the Saturday afternoon we arrived the pool water was a pale shade of green and cloudy. It remained that way until the pool service technician arrived on Monday morning. We asked that he stop by every two to three days due to the length of time we were staying and because of our intended usage. 2) Into the second week of our stay the air conditioning wasn't working propery. We endured several days of inadequate cooling. It appeared that the intake filter had not been changed for some time or less frequent
The location of this house couldn't have been better. We were able to sit right outside the gate and watch the Fantasy Fest Parade go by! However, for the price of a weekly rental we expected the house to be nicer. While it wasn't a dump by any means, the furnishings were all old and we could tell they had not been updated in quite some time. We were also under the impression that we had 2 offstreet parking spots, but we only had 1. There were 2 other spots. One was occupied by the owners who lived on property, didn't know that! The other remained empty until the weekend, though we were told not to park there at all. Overall the house was ok, though I doubt we will rent it again.
I rented the house for a week as a Christmas gift for my husband, myself and 2 daughters and their husbands. It was very convenient to everything and we felt very safe there. I don't know how old the house is but it so quaint. It was everything I expected and more. It was a great week. Thanks.
This house is fantastic! The location is awesome - right in the middle of everything!!! Everything you would want was there. House was clean, pool was excellent and off street parking is great! The 2 bedrooms and bathroom downstairs are small, but for the amount of time you really need them, they are fine. I would certainly recommend this house and plan to rent it again.
Our family, six of us stayed in Whitehead House for 6 days last September. We had a fabulous time. The house is charming and the pool is wonderful. It is close to Duval so it is noisy at night. I would recommend this more for adults than children for that reason. We were all over 25 and there to enjoy the nightlife so it worked great for us. Be sure to walk down to Kelly's for happy hour! The house has everything you need, including washer and dryer access and parking for one vehicle.
