Great, authentic experience!
My husband and I had the best stay here! We loved the location, walkability, and charm of this home. You truly get the sense of what Key West is about by staying here. The owner is awesome and so accommodating- and has made the home into a fun, comfortable, and relaxing get-away! I wouldn’t second guess going here. We’re looking forward to going back one day!

Great Time At Southard Comfort
Super comfortable. Love the pool and the back patio. Great location. Close walk to several great restaurants. Far enough from the Duval madness that you can ignore it completely and close enough to walk there if you want. Denise is very helpful and really knows Key West!

Experiencing the real Key West
We wanted to experience the real Key West so decided to rent a house. We were met by the owner Denise who showed us around her house and introduced us to the neighbours who were extremely helpful during our stay. The house was beautifully clean and well fitted out with all modern appliances and comfortable beds with crisp fresh linen. High speed Wi-Fi enabled us to keep in touch with the UK. The secluded rear garden with pool was a bonus for outside eating both for breakfast and evening meals although Duval Street restaurants and bars were only 10 min walk away. We've recommended the house to friends and are looking to return next year.
