Duval Square Courtyard Condo

Wonderful location and such a spacious condo. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again. The balcony was so great to just sit in the morning or evening to relax and listen to the sounds of the area. Everything was great .

Conveniently located
Can walk everywhere or as the locals do cycle everywhere
Roosters are the morning wake up call but that is just one of the charms of Key West so bring earplugs
The kitchen cupboards need some maintenance as some not secured properly

This spacious apartment in Duval Square was a perfect place for us during out stay. The location right off Duval puts you right in the center of shops and restaurants but far enough away from Mallory Square to avoid the crowds on weekends

Condo was very nice and great location close to food, bars,beaches and shopping. My only complain would be the beds are a little uncomfortable. Other then that would recommend to anyone.

Our vacation rental stay was a happy accident. We had never been to Key West and took a chance on a Home Away ad. We were pleasantly surprised with the excellent location and the size of the condo.

We found Duval Square Condo to be very convenient to everything Key West. We were pleasantly suprised at just how quiet it was inside the condo given it was located on Duval.

The condo could use some updates (couch was not very comfortable, bedroom furniture was showing some age, and AC did not cool common area very well). Generally speaking, the condo was clean and well maintained, nothing broken or in disrepair.

If you love Italian we would highly recommend the New York Pasta Garden restaurant located below the condo - ask for Donna or Jeannette.

This place had an awesome location. It’s about 30 yards off Duval. There’s plenty of restaurants and bars around. There’s also a convenience store right next door. There are two balconies that overlook the courtyard where the rental office is. Across the courtyard there’s a place with bottomless mimosas for $7.95. Can’t beat that deal in Key West. Only bummer was we had to be out of the condo by ten but our flight wasn’t until 4:30. Also a bit pricey after all the fees but you pay for the great location.

Great location right on Duval st, loved the court yard with the restaurants,which were very good. Every thing was a bike ride or walking distance away.

VERY close to the action, but felt the property could use some upgrades. The porch for example had peeling paint the made it look unkept.

This rental was great. Large enough for 6 adults, and 2 young grandchildren. Photos are accurate. Nice, fully equipped kitchen. Nice porch. Clean. Lots of towels. At first, I was put off by the instructions to wash our own towels but the washer and dryer are in the condo, and easy to use, so it worked out fine. Great location. Bring earplugs though - the roosters, parrots and leaf blower are noisy!

I have to say this was more than I expected. The accommodations were very comfortable, plenty of room for 5 of us, and pretty much everything we needed. The location is superb. check-in and check-out was a breeze. We especially enjoyed the deck overlooking Duval Square. I highly recommend this property and look forward to another stay in the near future.

Great

New Year week with our 3 grown up kids. Great location, within easy access of all main attractions, trolley stop a few minutes away and so many lovely restauarants nearby. Condo itself even better than the photos, loads of space, well equipped and very comfortable beds.

we are in KW several times per year so find rentals that allow us to park and walk. first time here although we knew about them from eating at restaurants in the courtyard. chose this location as we had family with us and needed more room. Jann at the agency was fantastic. the place shows its age in places but nothing unacceptable but I'd send a maintenance crew through there and just fix up, clean up and maybe even some updates. noise was a factor with leaf blowers at early hours and garbage trucks - you are above restaurants and businesses, at least in our unit - so that's to be expected. maybe best to note this in the rental so those who don't want to be up at 6a won't be!

Great accommodation, great location, wonderful vacation.

This home is beautiful and in a great location. Everything was sparkling clean and decorated in a tasteful Key West style. The location was perfect for us. The parking was convenient and we were only a few stops from Duval. After a day exploring the outer Keys it was great to relax in the private pool. We booked this some time ago and were very pleased with our stay. Also, the office was very helpful with recommendations on restaurants and excursions. I would highly recommend The Salty Goat for fishing and El Siboney for a meal. In addition, the restaurant in front of our place had a wonderful drink menu.

Duval Square Courtyard Condo was perfect. Just the right size for our family and close to everything. Convenient location and great facilities. The place has a washer and dryer as well as a full kitchen so we could make a lot of our own meals and avoid going out for every meal.

We came to Key West for a wedding with several other couples and adults and found the condo to be very spacious and clean. Joyce was very helpful and when we were concerned about the fridge she sent someone right away to be sure it was working correctly. The location was perfect in that we could walk to everything we wanted without being in the congested part of Duval St. Make sure you visit the wonderful french cafe La Grignote for the best eggs benedict of your life! We had great food from places on Duval Sq as well as the Thirsty Mermaid. The pool was great and we spent a lot of time there. Make sure you have a sound machine app as the roosters start at 4am. They are everywhere so if you are a light sleeper beware. We would readily rent this condo again. It shows some wear and tear so just note what is stained or broken so you have a record of this too. You have to climb stairs to get to the condo so keep that in mind. Thanks for a great time!

The condo was in a great location on Duval Street, within walking distance of the western end with all the restaurants and bars and of the eastern beaches and southernmost point. We were able to cook several dinners and all breakfasts in the apartment with the supplied equipment and utensils. The three-bedroom, two bath apartment was well suited to our family - parents and two adult children with their spouses. The balcony overlooking Duval Square was our favorite gathering place, and the large living room was comfortable for us all as well. The apartment was very clean and well stocked with towels, with a washer and dryer as well. I would highly recommend this location.

Property was very nice. Would probably choice a unit nearer the pool next time. Some issues that were resolve quickly by the management company. We would have liked to see more games, etc in the unit. We added dominos and a jigsaw puzzle.

Great Location. Parking accessible for our scooter gang.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It was spacious, clean and we really like the location up above Duval Street and on the quieter side. The balconies overlooking the courtyard were great and we enjoyed the pool. We have rented many vacation condos in the past and our only recommendation is that the kitchen could be better equipped. We had to buy foil pans to use in the oven as there were none and there could have been more plates and silverware for a property that sleeps 6-8 people. It wouldn't stop me from recommending this condo, but just think the feedback is worth hearing. Great vacation condo to consider!

It was everything we wished for and more. The place was spacious, well equipt with everything we needed. It was so clean, the beds and sofa were so comfy, management was absolutely the best, the location was perfect within walking distance to everything yet tucked away in cozy cornor surrounded by parrots and nature. The family loved the pool and the double balcony overlooking all the action. We appreciated being detached from neighbors too. We would definitely come back. Thanks for helping us make the best memories ever!
Sincerely,
The Maryland family

Our family of 5 had a wonderful, relaxing vacation. This condo is huge, great location, the pool was never crowded (usually we were the only ones there). The only negative was the sofa is too comfy. Nobody wanted to get off of it ! LOL.

Our place was clean and well equipped, a bit tired but perfectly serviceable. We enjoyed the location although we slept with windows open and on occasion had some human night noise, not to mention the roosters. Not a real problem and a/c would have solved it if we wanted. We whistled back and forth with the neighboring parrots in the morning, which was a highlight.
Joyce at RKW was amazing; very helpful and a great source for local restaurants. A great vacation that we could easily repeat. Thank you all.

Great condo. Awesome vacation and already beginning to plan our vacation back to Key West next year. Will be renting from this agency again. Loved the location as we were in walking distance to everything. even loved the rooster ????

We enjoyed the location of this condo. In the middle of Duval we could walk anywhere.Great location. Below the condo were 2 awesome restaurants.The home was clean and comfortable, rooms private. The kitchen could be better outfitted for the price they charge! Cookware, utensils, knives that cut , etc. Loved the pool.The staff was very responsive and helpful. We would surely return!

The property was exactly as described. Plenty of room for the 7 of us. The kitchen was nice, but could use new cabinets (and knobs). The beds were comfortable, the linens and towels nice and plentiful. Location perfect - easy to walk to the busy part of Duval but quiet. The deck could use a good cleaning, but it was still nice. I would highly recommend.

This is the 12th year that we have traveled to Key West in December. Depending on the group size, we do stay at various places. Duval Square Courtyard is always a favorite. Perfect location. The condo has all the amenities and space you could ask for. We needed some extra items, and responsiveness was excellent. Checking in on a Sunday may be a challenge if you are unfamiliar with the property as the office is closed, but we had zero issues. Can't wait for next year!

We loved our place. It was nice and cool and the fact that they recycled was great. The pool is about 5ft deep and was not as cool as we would like. We loved this location as it was a great central location. We rented bikes the duration of our stay, and biked to a beach everyday, and then mallory square every night for the Sunset Celebration. It was the more calm part of Duvall which was a nice location.

We loved staying at this condo. We had 3 adult couples on this trap and had plenty of room. The master suite is just beautiful with it's own enclosed sun porch and own deck. The laundry facilities are in the master suite and are top of the line appliances. The kitchen and living areas are perfect for this size group too. We loved being in the heart of the action of Duval but removed enough that it was not loud at night. There were tons of places to eat within steps of our place.

We stayed in this property last year and were very glad to be able to stay in it again this year. Great location.

Such a wonderful property and in a prime location. The only downside is the excessive noise EARLY each morning from constant delivery trucks.

Rented this place at least 3 times now. Really nice clean condo in a great location

We were a group of 4 couples staying for a week during Fantasy Fest.
The accommodations and location were ideal. This was not our first time to FF but it was our fist stay at Duval Square Condos. It was a very comfortable space for all of us. It was so nice to have 'space' for all 8 of us to come together and hang out before & after doing the Duval crawls. We were happy with our whole stay, no complaints at all. Some updates had been made to the condo since the online pics were taken and they were adding full-sized washer/dryer to the unit the day we left (that will be a super addition). The pool was lovely & always refreshing overlooking Duval, which is where we watched the parade for a different and less congested viewing. The Rent KW staff was very helpful with any special requests we had. Thank you, we will be back!

This must have been the biggest and most roomiest place in the Keys. The staff was very helpful and everything in the condo was very up to date. Already recommended this place to my cousin for fantasy fest.

My family really enjoyed staying in this condo. We felt it was clean and the beds were comfortable. The pool was well maintained. It was so convenient to be on duval street. We would stay here again.

We've just left Key West and it has been one of the best experience ever!!! Altough the weather was really hot we enjoyed our stay a lot and hope to come back in future.

Rental experience smooth. Nice property.

It was great, could walk to many places to eat and to enjoy the local color. The condo's and the
pool were wonderful. Not crowded. The Key West
Mgmt company could not have been more welcoming.

The location was awesome but the condo needs serious upgrading and repairs.

Great location overlooking the promenade. It has a New Orleans flavour to it.
To nitpick : The unit is a bit tired and it can be noisy in the morning with construction, street sweeping and the birds.

One half block from Duval Street but away from the noise. Within walking distance to many restaurants. Close to Southernmost Point.

The property is in a very noisy location, above restaurants, and it has thin exterior walls, windows and apparently even flooring, so you hear noise whenever the restaurants are open or being cleaned (until at least 11 p.m. each night) and beginning again in the morning (around 7:30 a.m.) when the courtyard area around the restaurants are cleaned with leaf blowers. The master bedroom is particularly noisy -- we could hear many loud conversations and kitchen noises and felt like we were trying to sleep in the middle of a busy restaurant. We understand that old town Key West is a busy, noisy area that includes party-goers and roosters. However, this property is on upper Duval Street, which is generally quieter. Unfortunately, this particular unit's location directly above businesses made it as noisy as property's on lower Duval. The property also seems to be in need of better maintenance, with pealing interior paint in spots, two toilets that each backed up once during our one-week stay and one of two decks that has been taken over by birds. (It was unusable because of all the bird droppings, even after the management company cleaned it at our request when we first arrived).

I was pleasantly surprised with the condition, cleanliness etc. of the condo. Would definitely recommend to others as a great place to stay.

Had a great time in key west. Management were great. Only downside were the individuals that hang around the property. A lot of begging and drunk/strange people.

Stayed there 3 years ago & several other times in other units in Duval Square so I knew what i was getting. Overall everything was fine. We did have issues with little ants,not just in the kitchen area but bathroom (toothpaste).Even though it wouldn't discourage me from returning ,several days I saw unsavory characters(homeless?) hanging in the area by our steps later at night.

Love this stay and will definitely stay again.
the only downside is you can not get any sleep past dawn. between the roosters makiung their morning wake up calls (which can not be controlled0 and the 8 a.m. leaf blower cleaning the place every morning forget about staying up late and expecting to sleep in cause it isn't happening. Other than the morning noise this place is spectacular

Location was great and the condo was very clean but the house needed some TLC. The pool was closed a few days due to them doing updates and one day my son got a awful rash from the pool which the doctor said was from to much or not enough chemicals in the pool. Overall this place was ok but for the price I though it would be a little nicer. I have stayed at other places in Key West with this rental company that were much nicer for less money. What you pay for at this place is one thing and that's the location!

Location, location, location. If you are looking for something in the heart of everything this is the spot for you. Duval square is located on the quieter end of Duval within walking distance to everything. I would record staying at Duval Square but not in this condo if you are picky. The master bedroom can hear everything that goes on below in the restaurants and courtyard, especially the parrots. The condo is in need of some touching up and paint but I really don't find that to be too big of a deal as I don't spend a ton of time in my condo while on vacation. The furniture is very heavy and the condo is packed with stuff. Again not a big deal if you don't plan to spend a lot of time there.
The management company was very easy to deal with. They were happy to listen to our concerns and to try and reach a solution with us.

Will stay there again on my next visit, awesome location!!!!!

Overall- excellent. We loved the location & property was very nice!

The appartment at Duval Square is bigger than it appears on the online photos, and suited us (two families: four adults, two kids and two todlers) perfect. It could need some refurbishment, as it is a bit worn. Also, the doors to the balcony from the large bedroom are not mosquito-proof (but can be fixed McGyver-style with some paper-tissue). However, the appartment was clean, beds were comfortable and the location is perfect, close to Duval Street (but still relatively quiet) and walking distance to South Beach. Several restaurants just downstairs, and a little pool on the roof of the adjecent building. Rent key West handled the booking impeccable.

Let me start by saying we generally had a great experience in Key West and with this condo rental. Rent Key West Vacations was very reliable and convenient, especially for this location at Duval Square. The location of the condo was perfect because you are in a more quiet location on Duval but just steps away from the action. The condo itself was just OK on the clean scale but I'm a clean freak so my expectations are pretty high. There are some definite maintenance issues that could be addressed (electrical, cabinet doors, running toilets, to name a few) but I suspect that the accomodations for the price in Key West are pretty rock solid. Beware there are steps to climb and an irritating gate at the bottom that needs to be kept locked most of the time in case manuevering the steps is an issue. All in all, a good time was had by all and I would recommend this rental.
