Excellent location and beautiful cottages

Overall we love the place because of the location and the pool. However, check-in was less than ideal as we were never given an access code or contacted to let us know when the house was available meanwhile all our luggage was locked up at the office and they closed. Waited all day then had to call and figure out how and when to get in to the house all while trying to get to a dinner reservation for that evening.
Otherwise a great stay.

Our place was well-furnished for a VRBO vacation home. The house was clean and ready to go when we arrived. We had a minor issue with the WIFI, but it was fixed quickly. Everyone we talked to was extremely kind. A one small change could make it a perfect place to stay., the sheets are harsh feeling. A better quality sheet would be very nice. It is not worth a star just worth a mention.Also note, Key West is filled with chickens, you will see them everyday in front of this house. It make me smile!

The location of the cottages was perfect for a family, close enough to all the fun stuff but far enough from the late night crowds. Somehow it seemed so private but it was right in the middle of it all!
The adjoining pool was a terrific setup for our extended family visit.
My only two issues were that the metal spiral staircase was a bit loose so if someone comes down in the night, everyone can hear it, and the parking was tough. It would be great to have reserved guest parking in front of the units. Trying to load/unload for a week stay from blocks away is not fun.
All that to say, I loved this place and can’t wait to go back!

Everything was fantastic! Small issue with the AC upon arrival which was taken care of within the hour. Only drawback might be the spiral staircases if you have bad knees or something similar.

Very positive. The stairs to the loft are narrow and steep but doable. It was a great experience for us

Wonderful property, great for a group. We split both cottages among 6 adults and 2 kids. Stairs were tricky to the lofted bedrooms and pool deck could be slippery. Everything else was fantastic.

These are two great cottages and perfect for two families of four. Property was clean and has probably one of the largest pools on the island. We were there during off season, so not sure what this would be like in the peak season, but we truly enjoyed our stay.

We couldn't have asked for a better find in Key West! The cottages were perfect for our family and kid's guests. The pool in the yard is perfect, just right after a day of walking around to all the sites! The location is great, at the quiet end of Duval with two cafes on the corner next door, walking distance to many of the sites and landmarks, and the rest of Duval Street. The cottages were clean and well kept, and the management company is responsive, friendly and helpful. We would 100% rent this place again!

Great Stay
We really enjoyed our stay. The property was in great shape and had a great location. Just far enough down Duval to be out of the big scenes but close enough for us to park the car on the street in front of the units and walk everywhere. The pool provided for a relaxing cool down after a full day of walking. One thing to note, the south unit, left unit if facing at the front, adjoins to the fence of the bakery next door. Their fence ate opens and closes in the morning (early) and can sound like the front door of the unit opening and closing.
A great place to stay, would definitely come back.

Wonderful property. It was perfect for our extended family. The cottages were clean and the pool was amazing. Iguanas visited each afternoon. The units were well-stocked and had 2 washers and dryers. Close to everything but not too noisy.

Wonderful property in a great location
This property was perfect for our extended family. The pool was critical since the weather was so hot. Everything was clean and well-stocked. The location was also perfect, close to Duval but not too noisy. Would rent again.

Great place!!
This place was amazing!! It was perfect for our party of 8. The location was awesome, close to most things. We rented a golf cart for the week and that was a great purchase. We had most everything we needed. LOVED the pool😍 and backyard. The iguanas roaming were one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Key West was absolutely amazing and I will be back.
Only few things that I could say is the pool area is VERY SLIPPERY. I didn’t fall, but several in our party did. The stairs are very noisy and narrow but definitely not a reason to not make me stay here again.
This place gets 5 stars from me!!

A Little Piece of Paradise
The cottages were perfect for the Key West experience with nice amenities, a beautiful pool, and 15 steps from Duval Street. Came here with old friends to catch up. Will be back with my wife to enjoy a romantic, fun getaway.

We were a group of seven adults that stayed in Pete’s cottages. It was by far the most reasonable accommodations we found in key west for the week during the super bowl. The location is great, pool was awesome and well heated. Our biggest complaint was no grill available due to fire codes. Also, the stairs to the lofts are extremely narrow, they need to be replaced with something easier to navigate. Outdoor furniture was a little uncomfortable. Also could not find a broom to clean up after ourselves. I would recommend staying here, it was an affordable option for key west.

Christmas Celebration
We had a great time utilizing both of Pete’s Cottages. The pool was great and the location was good. Our only negative and has nothing to do with the neighbor lady as she is kind of a “Karen” she yelled at us for where we were parking but her vehicle was already parked. She caused a scene at the front door and then waited for my husband to come out to yell at him again. Otherwise this place is perfect!!!

Loved our stay here!
This was the perfect spot, the two cottages are great for 2 families and the pool was an added bonus. Everything was clean on our arrival.
Great perk is that you are so close to great eateries and steps away from Duval. Bike rentals were 3 blocks away and a good way to explore the island. Would highly recommend and would plan a stay again.

An Island Oasis Within an Island Oasis
Pete's Cottages are a welcomed getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Louisa Street is, in my opinion the perfect location when visiting Key West. From being feet away from the normal foot traffic of Duval, it also lends to that old town feel with alley-sized streets that allow a casual stroll down to the Southernmost Point. Within a few minutes walk, you can be submersed in the thick of the party, or a quiet back street to take in the historic homes of Old Key West. When it comes to the property itself, the enormous backyard pool (which seems like one of the biggest private pools on the island) is backdropped with perfectly placed palm trees sprinkled with a few iguanas to set the mood (but let you know you’re never completely alone!)
While the two bed sleeping arrangements are nicely sized and quite unique, the spiral staircase in each unit (keeping in mind the space restraints in properties built in the early 1900’s) could be reworked to assure additional safety for tenants not used to such tiny stairs.
All-in-all, we absolutely loved Pete’s Cottages and would most definitely consider staying here again in the future… (until we decide to permanently move to the island that is!)
The staff was more than friendly when booking, checking in, and throughout our entire stay and made us feel at home from day one!

Only one downside.. The house across the street is used by a construction company as storage.. Large trucks, loud engines and back up beeping alarms start at 6:30am..if you're a light sleeper and like to sleep late, this could be an issue for you. Otherwise a great place. We had both cottages, not sure I would like having strangers sharing the yard n pool

Fantastic location
So originally, I thought this property to be "a little far" down Duval, boy was I wrong. So many new great places to eat and bars on that end. Also away from the ruckus and gritty tourist feel. Located behind 2 french breakfast spots, I learned that I will forever book my stays close to a breakfast spot. You can smell the fresh bread hanging out by the pool Also, just a quick note, if you keep your eyes on the top of the back fence while at the pool you'll notice it's an iguana highway between the trees. Keep the doors locked, lots of foot traffic right outside, but we had a BLAST at these cottages would stay again. Also, the upstairs bed area is really small, we probably wouldn't have been as comfortable if we'd had 4 adults in each cottage vs 2. I would DEFINITELY stay here again!

We loved Pete’s Cottages
The two cottages together were a perfect stay for a group. The loft bedrooms are perfect for teens needing their space. The private pool was fantastic after a long hot day. AC was kicking which was needed in the August year!! Loved the location on the quiet end of Duval street. The only complaint we had was the slippery pool deck. A couple people in our group fell so please be aware of how slippery it was.

Property was perfect for our little group of 8. Literally around the corner from Duval St so mostly walking distance to everything. Everything we needed and clean.

We rented both cottages and it was great. The rooms were clean, beds were comfortable. Kitchen had all the things we could need, we did eat most breakfasts and lunches there.Parking wasn't too much of an issue either, if the spot out front wasn't available there was always one within a block or two. The location was perfect too.
