The location was perfect for our stay, and the cottage itself was very cute and appeared clean. We really enjoyed our time there. The only drawback was a strong musty smell in both the upstairs and downstairs rooms. While there were humidifiers running, the odor was still noticeable.

Great location

We were in Key West for a long weekend. This property is within walking distance to everything. While just a short walk to the action of Duval St, you still feel secluded and it was quiet. Perfect for the group we had.

Truly a "Darlin'"!

The overall cottage package was wonderful! Right of off of Duval St. Convenient to everything desirable in Key West. No car needed at this location to get around town.The upstairs and downstairs lodging were super clean, modern, and stocked well! The hospitality of The Last Key Reality is a two thumbs up. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and the beauty of the grounds of the estate.

This property is in a prime location, just off Duval. But once you close the gate behind you, you leave all the noise and hustle and bustle behind. So quiet and relaxing.

Birthday weekend

The Cottage is lovely. Communication was seamless and Charlie at Last Key Realty was incredibly helpful arranging a seaplane trip to Fort Jefferson and a golf cart for Xmas light viewing. Private, quiet and the perfect location off Duvall. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

The Darling of Duval was amazing - the suites were well appointed . Loved the interior designs . Hot tub a plus , rain shower relaxing .. beautful gardens and night lighting . Best of all the location was premier ! Never moved the car ( bonus parking ) walking distance to everywhere .. but so quiet given proximity to duval st ! Would highly recommend

Perfect

This property was exactly what our family needed for our stay in Key West. Even with being a few steps away from the business of Duval, the seclusion of the property with its well thought out landscaping provides a quiet and peaceful environment to relax after walking the town. Would highly recommend this property and hope it is available for our next stay.

Great for two couples

Perfect location. Everything you need. Nice decor. Very quiet. Alice was very helpful. My only complaint is not being allowed in the huge pool that sat unused the whole time we had to walk by it to get to our rooms. It was hot while we were there and it would have been hospitable.

Absolutely fantastic!

Best location in Key West. Steps from Duvall Street and a short block from Ricks, Sloppy Joes, and Irish Kevins, but really quiet location. Quality in everything from the walk in showers to sub zero fridge. No real kitchen but equipped to make coffee and pastries. View is beautiful and owners were very nice. Will definitely book this property again. Last Key properties were excellent to work with too. Kudos to Nancy. She was very helpful.

Location says it all

This property is stunning , perfect in every way, The location is one half block from main entertainment and food venues. The property is a mansion with beautiful grounds, we were in the separate coach house. If you want to visit Key West, and can afford it, this is the place. I am a frequent traveler and found Key West to be high in cost and low in value. We will not retrn.

No pool access

Location was perfect. It was very hot while we were there and the pool sitting 4’ from the front door was not accessible for our stay. The amount of $$$$ spent seems like the pool would be included. It does say on the listing pool not accessible. But you literally have to walk around the damn thing to get to your room. Should be addressed for future guests. Would add so much to this already good property. Pool access would make it a great stay.
