We had a fantastic stay at the Amer Cottage. This beautiful home is within walking distance of Duval Street. The tropical, lush backyard is simply stunning. The large pool is a fantastic feature, especially for the Old Town area. We loved having the outdoor grill, and the outdoor shower was a delightful bonus. The cottage is tastefully decorated and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, this home is ideal.

Thankyou, we had a lovely stay and enjoyed the property. This is our second time renting with Truman and Company and 3rd April in Key West . The location, parking and pool area were perfect. The house had many special features including barn rolling doors on huge cupboards, beautiful floors, lots of windows and skylights for sunshine and many more.The lush well maintained gardens were beautiful.

This is the 6th time we’ve rented from Best of Key West Rentals Co. and it just doesn’t get any better. The Amber Cottage was wonderful and very nicely equipped with everything you would need. Near enough to Duval St to walk or ride bikes. Parking in KW is always an issue but there was parking at the Cottage and parking on the street.

Reviewer Comments:
Great location; very walkable, but also has off street parking. not as private as it seems, as its walkways are used to access the house in front/on Margaret St. (Pearl Cottage). There are no window treatments in the upstairs bedrooms and the skylights made it difficult to sleep at night and impossible to nap during the day. The outside furniture was tired, but since the pool got very little sun, we didn’t do much lounging by the pool. The fancy faucets throughout the house made it hard to do every day things like wash my face and shave my legs; I ended up using the kitchen sink since it was better height and water pressure for rinsing soap off my face. The kitchen was not my favorite, as the cabinets required opening the face and then individual drawers: hard to find items, hard to unload dishwasher & the dishwasher bottom tray did not roll/work throughout our month long stay. Lots of extra bending over and managing the very heavy plates and dish-ware. The fan in the ceiling of the upstairs balcony also never worked during our stay (“part on order”) and since the balcony was the only sunny spot, we could have used some moving air on the hot days. The cleaning people broke a part of my own expression maker (that I had brought) & some expensive hair product went missing, so that affects our feeling about our stay.
