  It’s a great couples getaway

  Pretty remote from the busy street of Duval. Privacy and we loved our private deck. The bed was comfortable and the amenities are great for a longer stay too.

  Charming Key West suit I would happly return to

  The property sits in a lovely historic neighborhood, just a short walk from Duval Street and the Bight marina. The pool is well kept, the garden is enchanting, and we had a spacious patio complete with a cute little black cat who’s always hungry. Our suite matched the photos exactly—clean, comfortable, and fully equipped for a long weekend. I especially liked the bathroom and the handheld shower, and plenty of towels. My 14 year old slept well on the sofabed.

  I’m a light sleeper who needs total darkness and quiet, so I travel with a sleep mask and earplugs. The only issue here was the bed frame... a kind of wobbly. The mattress itself was excellent—very comfortable, with plenty of pillows (which I love)—yet every movement my husband made would shake the bed. If you sleep through anything like he does, you’ll be fine, LOL! I’m envious!

  Avoid this unit because it is independently operated and owner is not responsive to legitimate conc.

  The location near Duval Street was good. The inside part of the living space was comfortable. We did have issues with the balcony area outside of the unit.

  A rooftop, “Widows Walk” deck above our unit was under construction during the time of our stay. This created a great deal of noise and debris falling down into our private balcony area which made it nearly impossible to use. The owner of the unit promised to look into the issue but, so far, no response. Be careful about staying at this unit because it is independently owned and not part of the hotel. Undoubtedly, the hotel would have given advanced warning of the construction. The owner of the unit was not in contact with the hotel and, therefore, clueless and of little help. All in all, a bad and frustrating experience. *********************************************************************************************************** I have added to my previous review by including a picture of the debris that landed on our private balcony area. As you can see, the chunks of debris are quite large and created a safety issue. The owner of the unit claims that there was no such debris and that the work going on above could not have presented any issue for us. This is simply not true. The owner of the unit keeps passing the buck and claiming that he did not know about the construction on the roof deck. I believe that to be accurate. However, my rebuttal is that he SHOULD have known because he advertises use of the deck as part of the amenities of a stay. This makes it his responsibility to know. The owner of the unit has said that he will look into a partial refund for our stay but he keeps pushing this off. It has been nearly five weeks now and we still do not have any definitive information about a refund. Moving forward, I would advise extreme caution with renting the Island Suite unit and working with KW Vacations.
