A week in paradise

We enjoyed our stay in Key West at this cute vacation spot, colorfully decorated and with spectacular views. Away from the hustle and bustle of busy downtown but within walking distance to anything and everything. Our hosts, Holly and Javier, were so helpful and accommodating. The rental was clean and we had everything we could’ve possibly needed during our stay. It was perfect! We will be back!

Perfect get away. Hol was very helpful and the space was kept nice and clean. She had many great suggestions on what to do on rainy days. She also helped us get a few groceries and made sure we had everything we needed. Very comfortable space and very key west decore.

Quirky and Charming

Beautiful view of the ocean from the front porch. Perfect spot for reading, unwinding but also people-watching. Beehive of activity out the front door due to a wave runner rental company just over the fence which affects the tranquility somewhat but not a deal breaker. Would stay here again.

best location with at-home feeling

We absolutely loved staying at Holly's. The location is amazing- walkable to a ton of beaches and everything downtown. We also really loved having a kitchen and more of an at-home feeling to come back to than we would have at a hotel or resort. We definitely would stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Hol Cru

Host profile image
Since 2004 working for family owner- We give special thanks to so many wonderful guests we have had in repose and have been so honored to check in and leave to themselves to make their KW fun, adventures and really relaxing times not to leave out a perfect romantic getaway, their most memorable ocean view retreat... Host here to make anything possible [if it has to do with your apartment or stay and water trips -great!] Always was fun to pick you up at airport not quite as my mom fancied for incoming family, in Pat’s London Cab company taxi she drove with balloons frantically trailing in the wind! A top hat bucket of ice with champagne and her pink poodle aside her!
Well I did have fun getting you in her second favorite car. We enjoyed the additions of balloons and plates and streamers to your birthday, anniversaries, New Years and honeymoons here! Even cake or wine sometimes, blowers and fun toys + the Iguana scaring tool! All fun and games as my mom would say and want! LOL
YOUR WONDERFUL REVIEWS AND HIGHLIGHTS ADDED TO THE glowing video clips about studio and management to boot that’s available, we thank you -
So glad to have for us to remember you by!
See ya Thursday!

Why they chose this property

Ocean Views ALL DAY LONG IS UNBELIEVABLE Location! Location Location! ABSOLUTELY!
Diamond in the Rough, even more than one passer by's have exclaimed in awe! Custom stonework kitchen - Happy colors and Local Art is an added addition to such a beautiful calm place a true favorite spot to relax/kick back-
Living across from here-Jimmy Buffet + my father were a heroic team- in water ask rest of story.
Low security deposit-{is personal check} All ok'd? Then cut-photo’d Cell to cell-as destroyed – policy in-place since 2018 thru Covid-19 to date. easysafer-stayinplace!!
Non refundable stay savvy travelers get travel insurance, we offer none, ask your travel agent. Why this Property? Because on this property- you have privacy yet you are not isolated! See beach and ocean, swimmers passer-byers- people watch and pelican and osprey dive for fish!
Don't wanna? close the blinds and still be 3 blocks from Duval st, in your cozy getaway! While a typical guest house or 4 plex condo [nearby] with 4 units 4 couples or more persons plus they accept kids and is,,
well 4plex balcony shared [by a divider] NOT PRIVATE! :)
If housekeeping company overlooked or missed something PLEASE - NOTIFY Host for resolve right away. Coffee troubles? Burnt bulb? Ok allow us! Our aim is a clean and comfortable place for you - anything else is not acceptable- let us make your stay a happier one in any and all cases! Hello! A Waldorf Astoria Resort Beach is called "The Reach" is not our beach...the fence is their BORDER fence we have unobstructed views of that and Atlantic horizon is out front- So come here have a happy time!
Stayed in keeping with the old Key West thru time our simple environs offer this special huge lot near the sea;;; in view is horizon, beach, waves and wireless skies and reflective sunsets
Every single day your ocean views are breathtaking, ever-changing and never-ending.
Not ever taken for granted any way, shape or form. Amazement and in awe always,.
