**THE SMILING IBIS @ OLD TOWN** Home & Pool Near Duval + LAST KEY SERVICES...

FLEXIBLE, NO-FEE CANCELLATION INCLUDED: Rentals are 100% Refundable until 30 days prior to your arrival!

Traveling to Key West with a group deserves the ultimate vacation rental home: plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy time together, separate rooms and bathrooms to enjoy privacy, a private saltwater pool and of course, outdoor lounge area off street parking for scooters, and bicycles. THE SMILING IBIS checks all of these boxes, and more. Located within walking distance to Duval Street and the Historic Seaport, this gorgeous and modern island home is the premiere accommodation for a group to relax and enjoy the experience of Key West's most upscale vacation getaway.

THE LOCATION...

Imagine your vacation home being just steps in either direction from all of the shops, restaurants, and sites of Duval Street and the Historic Seaport. Take a stroll or ride your bike down to the best of Key West, three blocks down Olivia St to hit local favorites like Croissants de France, Martins, and Nine-One-Five. Just a few blocks down Windsor Lane and you'll be at BO's Fish Wagon or Schooner Wharf.

THE LIVING AREA AND KITCHEN...

THE SMILING IBIS welcomes you with bright, tropical colors, tall ceilings, and luxurious modern furnishings. Floor to ceiling windows allow natural light to pour into the first floor all day. The living area boasts a gigantic 60-inch flat screen Smart HDTV, which you can watch from the comfort of the plush living room furniture or the kitchen/dining areas thanks to the open living plan of the first floor. The kitchen is fully equipped with state of the art appliances and all of the tools and utensils you will need to prepare a meal at home when taking a break from the decadent restaurant options of Key West. There is also a wet bar complete with the full bar set up for happy hour your way. The dining area has seating for 6, with 3 additional seats at the kitchen bar.

THE PRIVATE SALTWATER POOL...

Through the sliding glass doors of the living area is one of the highlights of this home: the private pool area. Fully fenced for privacy and surrounded by lush tropical greenery, this will undoubtedly be a primary gathering place for your group. The comfortable chaise lounges can be pulled into the sun or the shade, and they sit right beside the heat-optional saltwater pool that is great for a dip on a hot day. A full outdoor dining set can comfortably sit 6. The backyard is complete with a large propane grill for an outdoor BBQ by the pool.

Place was very nice... bathroom trash upstairs was not emptied.. it had hair and women toiletries left in it.. no complimentary shampoo or soaps for showers. Communications were not always timely, and office staff seemed bothered at office. Pool guy was there one day, Pool was cloudy and pump was not working properly the pumping was very weak. Not enough trashcans, trash was overflowing outback and caused bad odor for days. Our property had one parking spot which was great, but no electric to charge golf cart but the ajoining properties did have outlets.. nice property.. but for the money i shouldnt of felt dissapointed..

All Hype

Property was located great - place was clean-no Tv, no Internet,one shower hot water valve, leak under main floor bathroom sink—it took a full day to get internet and tv working-had to strongly suggest that they send someone to check it out the second day-had to leave messages with concierge or property manager-heard sorry-too many times—person answering main office actually said they would eventually get to the tv and internet-we were only there 3 days—for the price—not anywhere near the level of service we expected—its not about things that go wrong—its is how people react and cure a problem.and their video they send is out of Hollywood —all hype—either too busy or poorly trained-and it should have been checked out before we checked in.

Just a wonderful property - in great shape and well taken care of, plus well stocked with all the things you can need! Only negative comment is the pool is lacking - picture are not true to form - very small and doesn’t get much sun. Not a deal breaker but it was very disappointing.
