The first issue was that I was never told that there was major construction going on just outside the windows next door that started at 7 am every morning and lasted until 4 pm. So no sleeping in on our vacation the entire week. The pool was dirty and infested with iguanas so we never got to use it. The house is extremely outdated and severely overpriced. The construction was overwhelming loud and just absolutely ruined our vacation. Again, that was never once mentioned. No personal touch, just very much a move them in and then move them out vibe. Very disappointed overall and we won’t be staying there again.

My family and I really enjoyed staying at "Tropical Retreat". The set up of the house was perfect for my family of 5. The pool was incredibly warm so everyone could enjoy comfortably swimming. The pool area is very private. The location cannot be beat -- close to great shopping, restaurants, bars/live music but not so close that you are bothered by rowdy people or noise. Also close to the Southernmost point and beach. The property was as expected and clean. The concierge service pre-travel would be very helpful for those new to the island. They were able to provide some new, fun ideas for my family. Thanks for a great stay, we hope to be back!

My husband and I wanted a return trip to the keys with our adult childten for our 30th anniversary. This was the perfect place! Comfortable, plenty of room for all of us, close to shopping, activities, food and drinks (The Run Bar makes the best pina colada) and ending the day with a dip in the pool was definitely a hit with our kids. Could not have asked for a better experience!

Property was very cute
I think some things should be updated around pool. I was not thrilled with ants. We bought spray and never had the problem the rest of time.Construction beside us was not great. But work goes on!A little pricey for what you have. A little sanding and some Rustolium paint once a year would be an improvement.

Excellent property, terrible timing
**If you are considering renting this property in the next six months or so be advised there is a MAJOR CONSTRUCTION project right next door**Everything about this house was as advertised - adorable, clean, great location, etc etc - please read all the reviews and know they are accurate, which is why I gave the property a high rating.BUT - we were completely unaware of the huge construction project next door. Loud music, power tools, and yelling each day (including a Saturday) from 8AM-5PM. Unavoidable, but greatly impacted our stay as we were looking forward to lounging around the pool in quiet and privacy. No discount in pricing was offered to compensate for the inconvenience and disruption.Check-in was easy, but late - I had to contact the host to inquire and didn't receive info until well after check-in time of 4PM. Property manager was fairly unapologetic and unresponsive to our complaints about the unexpected construction, other than to agree it is "a major project." We would absolutely recommend this property - once the house next door is finished being built.

Nice spot
The property was very nice and it's in a great location. Only steps from Duval but still in a quiet neighborhood. There was construction on the house next door that was very loud and started every morning exactly at 8:00 am. The property was very accommodating with an early arrival but not as much with a late departure. We had to leave by 10:00 am but our flights didn't leave until early afternoon and there was no space to store packed bags until we were ready to leave. I would definitely come back....but once construction next door is over.

Great place, construction a bit of an issue
House and location are great. We come to the Keys every year and we really liked this place. However, the construction is an issue. Street was closed off, sidewalks too. Should have notified us on this. Annoying to be woken up that early on vacation. Take that away, great spot and highly recommended

overall, our stay was good. Great location near Duval Street. Excellent beds and baths. perfect for three couples having some privacy with this small house in the back.The only setbacks were the construction on both sides of the property. The backyard could have used some cleanup and more updated pool chairs. Also, they were lacking in some kitchen utensils and basics.

Great location and clean
We had three couples so attached bathrooms to the three bedrooms was perfect. Place was clean and had what we needed. Communication with property manager was easy and good. Great location to walk to restaurants, entertainment and shopping. We didn’t use pool much as there was construction going on next door every day. It is an older home so noise outside with construction was louder but surprising at night, it was quiet, even being so close to Duval street.
