Everything was perfect...the house itself was gorgeous, the location was ideal, and the personal service we received from the staff at Vacation Homes of Key West was nothing short of amazing! We were so well cared for, and we could not possibly have asked for a better experience. Among other wonderful things I could say about the house, the kitchen stands out in particular. Some rental houses have the bare minimum when it comes to pots, pans and cooking utensils. Not this house! We had everything we needed to make excellent meals. And, of course, the pool was a wonderful extra...even though the beach is only a block away, we enjoyed the pool every day! Oh, and one more thing...the outdoor shower! That's the only place we showered for our entire stay. So fun! When we come back to Key West, we will rent again from Vacation Homes of Key West. In fact, we wouldn't want to go anywhere else! Thanks again to the staff. We love you!

The house renting make sense for cost and close proximity in downtown and a street away the Duval. Pro One spot parking assign to a house. 4 individuals bedrooms, two kitchen, one swimming pool, courtyard, secure entry way. It is affordable during high season. Con The shower room cannot be open in one of bedrooms. The problem reported but they cannot fix till we move out 5 days later. The security alarm across the street court house sound every night. They cannot do about it. Carpet is a bit dirty in some room. We have to take the garbage out when we vacated with we paid extra for the cleaning fees. The best thing of this location is located right at the mile marker zero of US1. Very close to downtown for food. Central location for attractions.

It was beautiful and provided everything you could want for the comfort of hanging out at home. We didn't have any maintenance issues at all so I can't speak to their attentiveness but we did call about a couple minor things and had an immediate response. The price was very reasonable for the location and how much space this condo provides, including a covered parking spot. I do hope they will consider making a gate key available.... Having to use the Southard entrance to TA after 6:00 was a bit of a hassle... We rent in TA so we can walk everywhere and this adds 6 blocks or more additional to the walk home at the end of the night.

The rental from this place was a BIG OOF. My party had arrived 30 minutes after the agreed upon…read moretime for check in of 4pm. When we parked the car we heard people inside the house, which we thought was weird. Well the door was wide open because the cleaners had just arrived and were setting up. We contacted the office and they said yes the cleaners have to clean. Ummm...as a business charging over $800/night are you not supposed to have the rental property ready by the agreed upon time at a minimum? They were not willing to give us anything for not having their rental property ready. Well here's a list of everything else wrong (other than the condescending office who tries to gaslight you when you ask them about the property being ready at the contracted time?? Why is it not ready at 430 when you told me Check in was at 4??) There is a hot tub in the back but half the jets aren't working and it's infested with mosquitos. There is no bug spray provided so I suggest you bring some. The carpet looks raggedy. They might vacuum it but I don't know how often they really clean it. The place looks like it needs renovations like 8 years ago. The laundry machine outside is nice to have. Just make sure your shots are all up to date. It's ruiuuuusssty. And if you have any issues with the place...too bad. The front office will do anything but own up to their mistake. We stayed at "Hemingway's View".

One of the best things about working with Historic Hideaways is that there are no hidden fees. When you request a booking, the cleaning fees are already included. We recommend Historic Hideaways to friends and family. My brother's family is now a regular Historic Hideaways customer, as well.

Friends of ours have used Key West Hideaways for the last two years with great results. This year,…read moremy husband and I accompanied them and another couple for a relaxing mini-vacation at Royal Escape. Perfect when you need plenty of space - and a bathroom for every bedroom - Royal Escape is located in Old Town, about a 10-15 minute walk from Duval Street, or a 5-10 minute walk to the ocean. I loved the heated pool and the jacuzzi, and the large open-air dining table outside on the large patio. Even though each bedroom has its own bathroom, everyone's favorite place to get clean was the outdoor shower - just watch out for the iguanas above in the trees. Kevin - or "Key West Kevin" as my friend Carla N. calls him - was a great host and check-in and check-out were a breeze. Especially the check-out. As our taxi pulled up to take us to the Key West Hideaways office before delivering us to the airport, Kevin appeared and took our keys so we didn't have to make the extra stop. Saved some cash and time and were able to enjoy a relaxing cocktail pre-flight.

Worst experience of my life. Never ever rent mermaid cove on 1219 duval st. The whole place flooded…read moreand Kevin the manager/owner wouldn't return our calls initially and was really nasty saying 'its not my fault'. He wouldn't hire cleaners because 'it's 4pm on a saturday I can't find someone on short noice'. The entire place smells of feces. No one can shower in all 4 bathrooms. Internet doesn't work and he refused to fix it. We spent $2100 on 3 nights and it was the worst vacation rental experience of my life. He refused to give us any money back.

And I paid the difference after I moved out and the new tenant moved in. I'm outraged by the fees they charged me...people be aware there is a lot of hidden fees before you sign the lease read carefully! They gonna charge you for this and that....This company also overcharged me for maintenance fees! its making money by ripping off people. I replaced the a/c filter and there was no damaged smoking detector or missing bulbs. And they charged me $198 for nothing! For hidden damages! And the yard yes I agree I didn't cut the grass so they charged me $179.30 for 10×10 townhouse yard cleaning for cutting the grass basically there us nothing to clean there. And the garbage what garbage I put everything in the trash can and what i supposed to do take the trash with me??? If garbage day is Monday and i moved out on Sunday. So basically they charged me for taking the trash cans out! I will never recommend to rent from this company for all my friends and anybody!

I lived in one of their properties for 3 years. Paid rent on time (actually early). Everything…read moreseemed fine until it came to maintenance. They take the cheap option. Ex: the dishwasher flooded underneath the flooring so some of the wood panels had to be replaced. They went with a cheaper wood that didn't match the rest of the flooring and didn't even run flush with the cabinets. Another ex: the AC kept kicking off. Mechanics would come to "fix" the issue. We later found out, they were putting a bandaid on the problem. Our AC went out again for over 5 days in the summer. We asked if they would pay to relocate us temporarily until the AC was fixed. They said no- it was my spouse, cat and myself living in a space that was 90°! As they were fixing the AC, construction took over the living room making it uninhabitable- no compensation, just an experience of cleaning up after the repair. As we moved out, they came up with ridiculous fees (processing, admin, cleaning). When we moved out, the unit was cleaner than moving in. This company does not care for their tenants. I've heard horror stories of how they have treated others but I was being hopeful. This company is full of inconsiderate managers, often with attitude problems, as well as hidden and made up fees. Would not recommend. Rent if you dare.

It was walkable to many places we wanted to visit. The air conditioning worked great, it was cute, clean and comfortable. There were a few issues though: We flew into Fort Lauderdale and arranged for a late check in. They were supposed to leave a key with our room info on it, so you can imagine our surprise after a 3 hour drive (a 3 hour flight before that) when we arrived in the pouring rain, exhausted from traveling all day to find that nothing was left for us. We had to call at almost 3am to get what we needed to get into our room. We had to ask for towels several times before we received them. There were 4 of us women staying in the rooms and to our complete dismay we discovered that the hot water only lasts through 1.5 showers before the water is so frigid it literally stings your skin. It was so bad we thought maybe the pilot light went out and had maintenance come. Nope. Nothing could be done to fix the problem. For what we paid ($$$$) we shouldn't have had the mishap during check in or have to fight over hot water.
