The location, size and layout were excellent. For the cost, however, it was lacking in cleanliness, and shabby, bleach-stained bath towels, and as others have mentioned, the lack of shampoo, soap, a dish towel and dish drainer, are unacceptable.

Another Great One

We always stay at this location when available. There’s another one at the rear of the property and it was a good spot but we’re spoiled by this one. We’ve stayed here so much it is almost like a second home. It’s well appointed, the shower is huge and the place is cozy and has the lived in feel to it. There’s plenty of basics in the kitchen, full size fridge and stove, the bed is outstanding and adjustable, and there’s even beach chairs to use while staying. Marilyn is a great host and super responsive. She makes sure you’re notified of anything or takes care of issues as soon as possible if something comes up. We had no problems and will definitely be back soon!

Cute spot for a Key West weekend

Key West Retreat provided a cute home base for our weekend on the island. The location is convenient if you want to walk/bike around Key West. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, we felt right at home. Rooms were pleasant and the porch was a nice extra touch.

Just right for us!

First of the property is very nice and had everything you could need for a stay in key west. Its about a 15m walk from DuVal which is just far enough away from the nightlife. The host was communicative and we had absolutely no issues. Awesome stay!

Weekend getaway

Overall, we were satisfied, however, the mattress was too soft, our hips (and we are not old by any means) were hurting every morning from being sunken in the soft mattress. The rugs and the couch could have been cleaned or replaced (stained all over). The smell could have been better too. However, the kitchen and bathroom were cleaned, very well stocked with clean towels and pots and pans and appliances. We did enjoy our stay.

Great location and nice place to stay

We spent a week in Key West at this nice little main floor one bedroom suite. The location is great, and walkable to anywhere you might want to go in Key West. Parking was pretty easy...always found a spot within a 1/2 block. The area is safe and quiet, but really easy to get to all the great sites and the beaches. If you are considering a trip to Key West, Marilyn's place is a great place to stay. Thank you, Marilyn for having us!

Holiday Relaxation

This was our 3rd stay at this location. We adore the amenities, proximity to attractions, beach, and nearby Cuban coffee. The property owner is very committed to her guests feeling welcome and makes you feel she’s happy you’re staying in her home. It’s perfect for a couple looking to get away and relax.

Great Place - Great Location

In town for Fantasy Fest. The location was a convenient scooter ride to Duval St. Super easy to navigate around town. The residence had everything we needed - and worked well for us. The property manager was easy to reach and work with to help with a couple minor requests. We would definitely stay there again.
