The villa was very nice and was supplied with just about everything one might need. It was convenient to most everything. The only thing lacking was an outside seating area attached to the villa.

We loved this place! The unit was beautifully decorated, with lots of space, comfortable beds, and everything we needed. The location can’t be beat. It’s on Duval street - the main tourist area with shops, galleries, restaurants and bars - but it’s far enough away from the rowdy area to make it nice and quiet. The staff at check in were very helpful. We were able to leave our bags for a few hours after check out while we did more site seeing. We would stay here again.

We booked our trip for Fantasy Fest very last minute and we’re blessed to find this awesome place to stay. Ideally located with amazing restaurants, shopping and easy access to all the fun yet far enough away for a bit more peace and quiet. The manager was super responsive, helpful and friendly. This very clean and sizable unit had lovely decor and is equipped with everything you should need. We had a perfect weekend and look forward to returning again next year.

A few frustrating little things (like the second bedroom door not opening all the way). Otherwise a good week for our group.

Location, absolutely perfect! Interior could be refreshed, a bit. Just isn't as freshly painted, clean as the pics. The guest bath/shower needs a new inside curtain (buy clear, inexpensive ones from Walmart and replace each time) and the guest shower faucet needs replaced. Practically falls out it's so loose.

Villa Serena is in a great location for walking to most Old Town KW attractions and restaurants. The unit is spacious with a nicely appointed kitchen and living area downstairs. Two bedrooms upstairs provide plenty of sleeping room for two couples. All said, it’s a fine unit and is ‘as advertised’. We were disappointed with a few things. The overall construction is pretty cheap. Kitchen cabinets are pretty shoddy with doors and drawers that wouldn’t close. The recent application of engineered hardwood flooring up and down is kind of a joke. Major installation issues with gaps both at the ends and between planks lengthwise. The material was not acclimated prior to installation and it subsequently shrank after being installed. Probably was a ‘do it yourself’ job by someone who didn’t’t know how to properly prepare the materials.
Generally decent furnishings throughout and central forced air AC downstairs. The only AC upstairs is a window unit in the larger bedroom that cycles constantly. Could be an issue if you’re a light sleeper. The ‘outdoor’ areas off the living room and large bedroom were kind of a waste of space. There’s no view to speak of from either and the spaces just aren’t that inviting. We did enjoy the nice big screen TV’s in the living room and the big bedroom. Two bathrooms upstairs just okay. Everything worked, just could have been nicer with a little more forethought and a little bigger budget. Can we have a bar of soap and some shampoo for $600+/night? B-

We've travelled to KWF for the past 4 years for our anniversary, stay different places each time, this property is very clean and centrally located on the south 1/3rd of Duvall St, close enough to walk to all sorts of good food and entertainment, and south of the hubbub of north Duvall.

Very clean and comfortable condo. Perfect location. The extra AC unit in the bedroom was great. The only complaint is the shower water temperature. It was either scalding hot or too cold. Apparently this problem is a complex issue as we talked to people in other condos and they said they had the same problem.

Great place to stay for our family. The condo was very clean and the kitchen had the basics.. The only complaint is that the shower faucets were very sensitive and it was difficult to get a good temperature, either scalding hot, or cold. Also the second bedroom was hot despite the thermostat being set low and the doors open. Neither would prevent us from renting this condo again.

Would highly recommend this property! Not only was it a nice property in a great location, it had all the amenities you could ask for! Also, we felt very safe and secure.

We loved the updated furniture and fixtures. They made the most of every space in the condo. We look forward to booking the same location in the future. My only suggestion would be to offer better pillows and mattress. In addition the water in the shower would go from too hot to too cold in a instant. But these are minor issues for us.

Key West Getaway
This was a great condo, a home away from home for a week. Very clean and well appointed, pictures were very accurate. The location was perfect, within walking distance to restaurants, shops and entertainment. Loved our Key West experience!

Great Condo!
My husband and I stayed with another couple and the place was wonderful! The lower patio is partially open and the a/c kept the temperature very comfortable. Our master bath shower drain was a bit clogged and the property management had it fixed within a couple of hours. The floor plan is nice and open and great for socializing. Our parking spot was easily accessible and secure. The location is just blocks from lots of shopping, restaurants, and bars. The pool area was great with adequate chairs and tables.

Great!
Property was in very good condition upon our arrival. Host thought of everything one could possibly need and then some, while using this property. I was pleasantly surprised at all the amenities.
The only problem we had, was that the shower was very inconsistent when using the hot water. If you put it to a normal hot/warm setting, within 5 minutes the water would turn completely cold/freezing. Also, if you turned the hot water on at a warm setting, within five minutes, the water would be so hot it would almost scald you. Both showers were this way.
But, I would definitely stay here again.

Great location but just enough secluded
It was a great stay and everything we could have hoped for. Check in was easy, place was exactly as advertised! It was close enough to all the action but gated entry on a higher up level so it was quiet and we even spent some time relaxing at the pool. Definitely recommend for any age groups. We went with friends but it would have been great for anyone.

This was our first trip to Key West and I can’t wait to go back. We would absolutely stay in this villa again. The location was perfect. We were within a 5-10 minute walk of everything. We had a parking space in a gated parking garage for our rented Jeep. The villa was clean and had everything we needed. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Even though we were in the heart of the fun, being one floor up gave us both privacy and peace and quiet. Just perfect!

Close To Everything
The location of our rental was close to everything. Right off Duval in an area that was quiet but a short distance to all the main dining and shopping. Parking garage was convenient and the living space was perfect for two couples or small family. Wish we could have stayed longer.
