Super unique property with available extra building for extra people. We stayed with 10 adults and 10 teens for spring break. Location is quiet during sleeping hours and active during the day with top gun pilots training overhead. Property manager is super attentive and checkin and checkout were the easy. Property has indoor activities when it is windy or raining, outdoor activities including kayaks and paddle boards. Kitchen is well stocked. Tennis court surface is well kept. Racquetball facility in extra house includes volleyball net option. Color scheme is whimsical and full of fun. We biked to breakfast and dinner spots across the highway. Large boats pickup directly from house dock. We parked 4 cars and 20 bikes inside the gate and still played basketball in the driveway. So many places to sit, layout, read, or swim/soak. Everybody found their spot anytime of day or night. Watched a movie indoors from the hot tub. Watched sports from the outdoor hot tub on the outdoor bar TV. Cooked group bbq on the grill.

Worried for this property

I don’t like giving negative reviews as I feel I typically review my vacation properties wry well and rarely disappointed. First let me say the Management is very communicative and accessible. There is a Manager that lives on site that we were not aware of. We were not happy about that until things started going wrong then at least he was there. The property is becoming dilapidated. There is obvious water damage, cracks and rot happening and just being painted over. From a distance it looks great but the beds have mold on the mattress covers, some box springs are falling through to the floor. Ceiling fans don’t work in some rooms and rooms upstairs run hot. There was an ice maker on the counter that didn’t work. Furnishings need updating. Don’t lay on the sheets on outside beds as it rains and the sheets are not changed. In the pool house there were a/c issues and ants. Water issues in the bathroom. Shower Wouldn’t drain. We have stayed in many mansions and 5 star properties in Bahamas, Caymans, Mexico etc This time we thought we would try USA but unfortunately this property needs attention. High points are excellent communication w management, beautiful location and view, awsome TV’s in almost every space, room for our large boat. This was once a beautiful home. Our friend that lives around the corner used to go there in High School when there was an actual pool in the living room. Then of course then it was Real World House. I’m just sad to see the upkeep isn’t there.

More Than I Expected

I could not have asked for more. I had my Tribe of 20 to celebrate my 60th Birthday, and it was epic. Andrew was the most accommodations host I have ever worked with beginning before I even booked the house. Please note this house has some wear ( but don’t we all) that adds the the charm and uniquely of is this house. If you are looking for The Four Seasons, please book at The Four Seasons…but if you are looking for a place where everyone has there own space or want to be all together, this is the place!! My guest ranged in age from 65 to 25 and everyone agreed it was the best experience each had experienced. . I highly recommended this property!! Cannot wait to booked again Thank You Andrew and Scott

Perfect for a family reunion!

This house was perfect for our 20-person, multi-generational family reunion! The teens loved the indoor racquetball court, ping pong table, paddle boards, kayaks, bikes, pools, and hot tubs, while the grandparents loved playing with the baby in the large sunk-in living room. We appreciated having the very responsive property manager on-site, to help us with issues such as the wifi or burnt-out light bulbs. (Don't put workaholics from your group in the add-on racquetball house... the wifi doesn't quite reach.) We knew exactly what to expect thanks to Andrew's detailed welcome texts sent one week earlier.

Suprise

We were very excited to stay at this property but the excitement came to a halt at check-in. We had booked the property and paid in full prior to arrival. Unfortunately, the listing is a bit vague on the 2 bds located in the racquet ball section of the property. There is no mention of an additional cost so we were very surprised to find out we would be charged significantly more per night for the extra 2 bds. Traveling on a company trip we needed all the bedrooms. So... we had to paypal immediately a large additional per night charge upon arrival... Beyond that the house itself is in very poor condition. Kitchen is in need of updating(not at all what you would expect at this price point), pool is not in great condition, screws sticking up all over the decking. many lightbulbs out throughout the rooms, lights outside on trees just don't go on, toaster doesn't work on one side, kinda a musky smell throughout. Tennis courts... not in good condition. Horseshoe pits... nope overgrown with weeds and unusable. Cornhole set has clearly enjoyed alot of the weather, very bad condition, beanbags all ripped Simply put this house was not at all what we had expected at the price point paid. Only thing that impressed us with this house was the amazing location. The proximity to the water and downtown key west is simply unbelievable. If you are looking for a party house in key west with no concern for the condition of the house this may be the right fit but for us it was a big disappointment.

Great location on the water

I completely enjoyed waking up each morning, getting my coffee and sitting on one of the docks. The location provides a beautiful view of the water. I do have to say the house is dated, not terrible by any means but could use some maintenance. I didn't mind the property manager being in the property but I will say the session required before you can even check in is kind of a vacation buzz kill. I think it took about 30 to 45 mins. Probably has to do that due to bad past renters. Nothing I've ever experienced before for any of my VRBO stays. Most homes have a book on a table or posted documents on the refrigerator with instructions. All in all it was good.

Great experience we would do again!

We went down for my 40th bday and had a great time. It was perfect for adults that didn’t bring any kids. Plenty of pool space and entertaining areas for a group of 15 people. All in all there was nothing we would change...other than we would bring our own pillows. It’s about a $25-$35 Uber to get downtown so if you want to frequent there a lot it’s an investment, but the Uber’s were always 5-6 mins away so it was quick. The house is what you would expect and see in the pictures. If you are the person who expects a perfect house that was on MTV 15 years than you probably need to check your own expectations. Andrew was great. The chef was awesome!
