We always love our stay at this location. Marilyn is a wonderful host and treats her return visitors very well. The place is located just a few blocks from anything you want to do in Key West, very cute and comfortable place, and meets our needs perfectly. We love the friendliness of the neighbors and the home is very well maintained.

Weekend getaway
Overall, we were satisfied, however, the mattress was too soft, our hips (and we are not old by any means) were hurting every morning from being sunken in the soft mattress. The rugs and the couch could have been cleaned or replaced (stained all over). The smell could have been better too. However, the kitchen and bathroom were cleaned, very well stocked with clean towels and pots and pans and appliances. We did enjoy our stay.

Cute spot for a Key West weekend
Key West Retreat provided a cute home base for our weekend on the island. The location is convenient if you want to walk/bike around Key West. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, we felt right at home. Rooms were pleasant and the porch was a nice extra touch.

Perfect location in Key West to stay
The flat is nice, well kept and in a great location, pretty much anything is within a 15 minute walk. We parked and didn’t get back in the car until we left. Plenty of food options close by (Sandy’s Cafe is great), and a food market is a short block away. Our only issues were minor; We did not receive the instructions on how to enter the unit prior to arrival, but a call to the host solved that quickly, and in the listing in the Vrbo Property Amenities section, it listed: “Things to do • Bicycles on site • Boat on site …” But our host said those things were not availble on site, though could be rented. When we go back to visit Key West, we will seriously consider renting 1020 Varela again.

Just right for us!
First of the property is very nice and had everything you could need for a stay in key west. Its about a 15m walk from DuVal which is just far enough away from the nightlife. The host was communicative and we had absolutely no issues. Awesome stay!

Stayed here with my 12 year old son and had a great Memorial Day Weekend in Key West! The place is quaint but very tidy and convenient / central to all parts of the island. Just as advertised, and communication with owner was great. We had a blast!

Great location and nice place to stay
We spent a week in Key West at this nice little main floor one bedroom suite. The location is great, and walkable to anywhere you might want to go in Key West. Parking was pretty easy...always found a spot within a 1/2 block. The area is safe and quiet, but really easy to get to all the great sites and the beaches. If you are considering a trip to Key West, Marilyn's place is a great place to stay. Thank you, Marilyn for having us!

Dog upstairs need flea treatment! You could hear it scratch. Not as close to Duval as I would like. House had not been cleaned when we arrived after an 8 hour drive but after several calls a crew arrived and after 45 min we could move in. Owner was helpful.

Holiday Relaxation
This was our 3rd stay at this location. We adore the amenities, proximity to attractions, beach, and nearby Cuban coffee. The property owner is very committed to her guests feeling welcome and makes you feel she’s happy you’re staying in her home. It’s perfect for a couple looking to get away and relax.

The cutest little beach house! The perfect getaway in Key West. It was very clean and perfect for two people! My only wish is that they would get new towels and new sheets because they were both stained. Overall, I would definitely stay there again!! 😊

The mattress in the bedroom needs to be replaced. You can't really sit on the futon. Need another chair. Very clean and the front porch was a great place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee.

Great Place - Great Location
In town for Fantasy Fest. The location was a convenient scooter ride to Duval St. Super easy to navigate around town. The residence had everything we needed - and worked well for us. The property manager was easy to reach and work with to help with a couple minor requests. We would definitely stay there again.

Cozy Place
We enjoyed our stay here. Older house that has been well taken care of.The house was everything we needed. Towels we clean, no stains. We dropped off our bags while housekeeping was cleaning and walked to Don's bar and had a drink while waiting for the house to be cleaned. The area is very quiet and cozy. Sandys cafe is around the corner and has the best Cuban sandwiches and coffee. The only I would mention is that I couldn't find trash bags and I was looking for a broom to sweep and couldn't find one. The owner is great and easy to get a hold of. I would definitely stay here again and plan to again.
