Good location in Key West

We had a nice stay. The beds were very comfortable, and it was conveniently located to many walkable restaurants. The pool area was quiet, and we had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the double balconies too. My only negative comment would be about the overall cleanliness. The bathroom, kitchen and floors were in need of more attention to detail by the cleaning staff. Overall, I would recommend the property, however the cleanliness was lacking as mentioned above.

Great location!

The Writer's Retreat was conveniently located near all of the Key West attractions we wanted to visit. Once we were checked in, we didn't need to move the car again until we left. The community pool was a great amenity and was located close to the unit. The apartment was the perfect size for our family of four.

Great location for KW getaway

First time to KW and the location is great and we comfortably walked everywhere. Condo owner was very responsive to questions. Comes with small kitchen and fridge for cooking but we did not use it because we were only there 4 days. Condo did accommodate our family of 6 but it was small and tight. Would be perfect for 4!Thank you for the opportunity the place was great.JP

Great location, Condo OK

We had high hopes when booking this property-- write-up and reviews looked great, location was ideal. On the plus side- the location of the condo was great--close to everything Key West has to offer within walking distance! Nice community with a pool. Parking is right out front. Condo itself was another story-- definitely didn't live up to the description- it needs some updating/up-keep. Check-in was an hour after contracted time (apparently the previous guests had a late checkout, to our detriment); freezer needs a serious defrosting; the bathroom towels (ostensibly white) were dingy and stained; many of the light bulbs were out; TV remote batteries were dead; the backs of the dining chairs were so loose they are a safety concern; porch furniture (on either deck) not as depicted- torn cushions on the front deck furniture.

Great location

The property was in a great location to explore old town on foot. The complex and unit were comfortable. The unit could really use a deep clean and it would have been nice to have a workable freezer and ice machine. Otherwise the unit worked fine for our week stay.

Very Nice Unit=Enjoyed!

The unit was very clean and nicely appointed. The owners have provided (as far as we needed) all the utensils, dishes, etc. you will need. Although the ad says that there are no beach chairs provided, there is a big basket of them- perhaps left from previous visitors. Two things we had problems with: The freezer is TINY. It needs defrosted for one and a small bag of ice leaves no room for anything else. The key box on the outside door is not reachable for a vertically challenged person. If I hadn't had tall friends, I would have never been able to gain entrance. Other than that, location is ideal. I've stayed in the Truman Annex every time I've visited Key West (10-12 years). The fact that you can have a quiet place to go back to after being in the night life, I feel, is wonderful. Book the Writer's Retreat. You won't be disappointed!
