EXCELLENT LOCATION
The house is located in Old Town Key West at the corner of Thomas and Angela Streets - (2) blocks west of the center of Duval Street in one of the oldest sections of Key West; (4) blocks east of Fort Zachary Taylor State Park/Beach, the best beach and picnic area in Key West. The gated compound is within easy walking or biking distance to everything in Old Town Key West, Duval Street, and the best entertainment and dining on the island.
CHICKENS & ROOSTERS
The City of Key West protects chickens and roosters, and considers them as part of the history and charm of Key West. As a result, Key West and many of the islands throughout the Florida Keys have free-range chickens and roosters. You will definitely see and hear chickens and roosters during your stay in Key West. Some visitors to Key West love them, and some visitors hate them - personally, I enjoy them best roasted, with plantains, and black beans and rice!

-Room smelled moldy even before air conditioners were turned on. We bought our own air fresheners. -Rugs were extremely dirty. Needs to be upgraded. We rolled them up. -Pillows on all the beds were old and smelled bad. Needs to be upgraded. We didn’t use most of them and then put towels down on the one we did use. -Washing machine was not clean. Dirt blocked the drainage of within the liner. maintenance issue. -We were locked out on the last day. The cleaning lady was beyond rude to us. Treated us like a thief as she and behaved extremely unprofessional. Pretty shocking. Management laughed in our face over the issue. -This place is very expensive but high standards aren’t being kept up. Waste of money.

Quaint little compound in Key West!
Overall, we had a great time at this quaint compound. On a whim our friends bought Willie Nelson tickets & our planned trip to Key West to celebrate a milestone birthday got bumped up a few months. Luckily we came across this compound of places to stay. Initially we booked the Cigar house but soon realized the sleeping arrangements wouldn’t be suitable for two couples. I later found the Conch house on a different site. Based on the photos online it was very similar but had a bedroom with doors vs a bed at the end of the living room. Steven was very helpful with the cancellation and rebooking the Conch house. Both places were great and we were happy with our choice of the Conch home (the couple staying at the Cigar house let me check it out). We went with close friends and it didn’t bother us, but just a heads up, to get to the bathroom you have to go through the bedroom. The hot tub off the main pool didn’t always work but we made due. The other hot tub was working and we were invited to use it. We cleaned the pool too, no big deal for us, just an FYI. The location was great. We walked everywhere, including to see Willie. I have read some reviews about the location being sketchy west of duvual street but we felt safe at all times. Loved the roosters too! We would definitely come back. And we will be sure to save some Breakfast for Rachel! Thank you Rachel & Steven.

About the host

Hosted by Steven Justi

Host profile image
I travel as often as possible, with my beautiful partner (who completes me) - we always seem to gravitate to water and interesting places. We enjoy historic settings, renovating old buildings, good people, and a nice bottle of wine (...or two).

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is alive, dynamic, and surrounded by Key West History - unquestionably the most intact Old Town Key West neighborhood on the island. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance, and Duval Street is only two blocks from the property - close enough, yet far enough away! Ft. Zachary Taylor, located only two blocks to the west of the property, is a National Historic Park and boasts the nicest beach with the best sunsets on the island.

What makes this property unique

Local character is preserved. Authentic Key West experience.
