About this house rental

Experience true tropical Key West living as the locals do in this spacious mid-century private garden oasis home with large swimming pool and poolside entertainment cabana. Located just one block from the beach, Private Pool Garden Villa vacation rental is at once exotic and comfortable. The colorful interior walls with French doors and windows throughout the house become picture frames anchoring the lush tropical garden that surrounds the property.

Authentic tropical style is what this corner lot property offers. A variety of lush foliage peaks over the high lattice topped fence. Bright red blooming bougainvillea vines drape the trellis entrance and then a bricked pathway inside the gate winds its way through the garden and leads to the front door. A variety of mature palm trees provide a rich calm feeling. Beautiful landscape lighting creates an enchanted feeling at night.

Inside the Private Pool Garden home, the spacious open living room/kitchen floor plan, is made to feel even larger with expansive vaulted ceilings and brightly colored walls. An extensive renovation of this mid-century ranch style house was completed in the 1970`s to create the beautiful pool, cabana, lush garden, and spacious open living room kitchen floor plan. Now considered `vintage modern` the authentic 70`s design is complete with a white painted brick fire place. French doors open to the focal point of this unique home that is most definitely the large salt water swimming pool, complete with poolside cabana and extensive garden.

The floor plan of this home is traditional with all three bedrooms located off the hall that leads from the main living area. This home provides two master bedrooms - one bedroom with a king size bed, one with a queen size bed, both have en-suite bathroom. A unique added feature is a bricked courtyard outside the blue master bedroom and little intriguing garden space for relaxation. The other Master, paneled in classic Dade County Pine, features a solarium which practically brings the outdoors inside.

The third (spare) bedroom, also off the hall, is cozy and has a tropical forest view of the garden. Bedding is a trundle bed that offers one or two twins. The half bath (i.e. sink and toilet) are directly across the hall from the third bedroom.

Bedding Summary:

1 king size bed, 1 Queen size bed, and a trundle bed (2 twins).

Our family (2 adults, 2 teenagers) had a great stay at this property. The #1 highlight is the cabana and pool area. The cabana is great for relaxing, reading, playing games and getting out of the sun. The outdoor area is completely private thanks to the beautifully landscaped yard. There is plenty of seating and lounges around the pool.Other great features of this property include:-Location: We parked the car and explored the island by foot.-Cleanliness: the house is well very clean-Grill: The grill was immaculately clean and an extra full tank was available-Communication: The property management company was easy to deal with and the check-out procedure has far fewer items than other VRBOs-House is well stocked: The kitchen has all the plates, cups, cooking utensils, pots, and pans you could hope for. There are plenty of pool towels as well.-Comfortable living room furnitureThe one big draw-back of this house is the A/C unit location next to the cabana. When it turns on, you have to raise your voices to have a conversation.Some other slight areas for improvements: -New/more pillows -Nearing time for new mattressOverall, we'd stay here again. If your family loves spending as much time as outdoors as possible, this is the place for you!

While dropping off our luggage, we quickly walked around the home and noticed a few things out of place. There was a large piece of duct tape on the whirlpool bathtub stating ‘Wet Caulk. Do Not use until Oct 27’ It was now November 3rd. Also the side panel on the whirlpool tub was barely attached. We noticed a light fixture in the same bathroom on a shelve that still needed to be installed. As well as screws and a fixture in the laundry room and what appeared to some type of outside vent laying on the ground outside. Just as we were leaving two very kind gentleman appeared and stated they were in fact completing some projects in the home. They were very accommodating and gave us some great spots to check out. We were surprised to see these areas were still left unfinished upon return, but hoped none of these areas would hinder our stay. As we were unpacking we heard a continuous scrapping sound coming from the master bed room. We initially thought it might be overgrown foliage but were surprised to see more people spackling and working on the side of the home. They were just finishing up for the day and wished us well. We continued to enjoy the home and all of the amenities throughout the week. The backyard with the outdoor living room is defiantly the high point of the home. We were surprised to learn that a pest control company would be coming at some point on the last day of our stay to complete a monthly treatment. While asking questions regarding the areas and timeframe about the Pest Control Company, the initial team member from Vacation Rentals seemed pretty bothered and refused to share any information. The next day, while waiting on a reply we found two American Cockroaches in the kitchen. One was dead and the other nearly dead. I had again reached back out to Vacation Rentals to share our concern and was told these arear. Since we still had several days left in the home and were uneasy about having to deal with the potential of more roaches, I reached back out for a resolution. Vacation Rentals stated that the would share this with the pest control company son they would pay close attention to this area. Ensuring each person feels welcome in a clean and comfortable home needs to be the top priority. We felt like a hinderance.
