We stayed here for a week in a 2nd floor condo during one of the busiest weeks of the year (between…read moreChristmas and New Year's). The rental (through RentKeyWest Vacations) was very pricey (about 5K). The tough part of renting at Key West is whether to go close to town, or close to the beach. We went with the beach and I think it was a good decision. Though we had to get in a car to get to the restaurants and Duvall area, walking into your condo street-side, to look through and see swaying palm trees through the condo-width windows beach-side is worth the $. The condos are literally 30 feet from the water. The balconies are the entire width of the condo, with half the balcony attached to the main living area, and the other half attached to the master bedroom. The parking is very convenient, and there is a pool on each end of the small condos. It's a gated complex, so it feels very secure. Although they are not new, my rental (#204) was updated and well-decorated. It's also about a quarter mile to the stop of one of those hop-on, hop-off tourist trolleys, so you can get away without having a car as long as the trolleys are running, and there are plenty of cabs for later hours. Overall, very comfortable and beautiful accommodations.

This is by far the worst staff I have ever come across. The place has really deteriorated in the…read morepast few years along with the staff. There are rats everywhere, the inside steam room and hot tub smell of urine and the so called "red room" is a nasty mess. Albert at the front desk is the rudest employee of all. I have had my share of bad experiences there and would not recommend this place at all.

Unit was great but for a fun stay on the island you would not want to be anywhere near here. Our…read moreunit was updated but the rest of the facility is really run down and constantly under construction. The amenities would be nice if they were allowed to be used in a proper manner. The most disgusting aspect of this property is the security guard. Even when the pool is dead and we were the only people there he made us take out our floats saying "it was against pool rules". He only picks and chooses which pool rules to enforce. There is a sign with 15 rules on it and he chooses to pick people to harp on with about 2 or 3 of those rules. He is the biggest scum bag and pretends like he is an FBI agent for the grounds. Went here in years previous and had no problems then came back one year and I don't know if his diaper wasn't screwed on right but the entire week he chose my family to berate and pick on. He said we were violating a noise complaint by laughing in the pool but all day at the pool there were screaming children. We have stayed all over the world at resorts and condos from North and South America to Europe and never had these kinds of issues with a stuck up security guard. He does nothing but complain and moan about slight things. Makes you feel on edge about making a single mistake and walk around with a whisper. Once he decides that he doesn't like you- it is over for your entire stay. He hides in the bushes and waits for you to do anything even such as having a drink that's not water in a plastic water bottle to throw his temper tantrum. Every time I tried to stand my ground and say it was unfair to only pick on my family instead of all the other families doing the same thing, he just walks away! If you are looking for a fun and enjoyable family vacation with any kind of freedom.... I could not recommend this place less.

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.

Dean was the realtor who helped us find our home several years ago. When we needed to sell we went…read moreback to Dean because he had been so great to work with the first time. Dean & Keith did an outstanding job of marketing our home, providing first rate service. They staged the house to maximize the features in the photos and virtual tour. We received a full-price offer within a week of listing, and closed in 60 days. They also connected us with a super law firm to handle the closing. We have bought and sold at least eight houses over the years, and Dean's team has done the best so far.

Terrible hotel building with terrible customer service…read more Building is old and consist of few buildings combined. Need to change elevator 2 times to go to your room. Rooms are nicely decorated but not what you expect for $1000 a night. They are way over priced for the quality. Front desk staff is terrible. Don't know how to handle issues which you will have plenty. We didn't have AC 2 out of 3 nights and they didn't even feel bad about it. They said basically it is what it is and we have to deal with it. One night they moved us to another room and they were acting like they were doing us a favor. It was major problem for us. second night they moved us to our room which has broken AC And gave us boxed fan to cool off. Front desk manager is clueless and don't know how to handle issues and he has kids working for him who do not know how to handle anything. They are like teenagers. I would never ever stay there again and warn anyone not to there. Oh you will wake up 5am because of dumpster trucks getting the trash and it takes like 20 min. Another thing is their damn roosters , they start 4am and won't let you sleep. Jesus, it was 3 days of hell!

Sad for the resources and time spent here that I wont get back…read more Sometimes you can't trust your friends judgement on accommodations. We wish we had checked out and stayed at Marquesa hotel instead. But everyone was at the same hotel for the weekend so we stuck it out. For the price point, ones expectations are commensurate and this place was not even in the same universe as other hotels charging the same rate. The hotel is right on the water but in key west, the same can also be said for a gas station. Right away you know there's a problem because the elevator to reception smells like rotting seaweed (sargassum). The reception area seems like a guest room that was adapted and its small and dark and doesn't work. Then you get to the guest rooms from the year 1985 with chair railing and crown molding that has never seen a magic eraser in its life. Covered in 40 years of dust and who knows what else. The blinds have never been dusted or replaced in 40 years. Are you getting the picture? The head board had mystery smears on it. Floors were filthy with 40 years of accumulated dust. We dared not step one toe into the murky pool. We watched as guests sat there for hours, drink after drink, and never got out. Not even to use the bathroom? Ewwww. Every day the streets flood with high tide and poor civil planning so coming and going from the hotel means wading in ankle deep water and probably sewage, which is probably why the elevator smells so terribly. No wonder all the associates there seem so sad. I would be too if I worked there. I was sad for the resources and time spent here that I wont get back.
