- The Location -
SVII is just 1.5 blocks from Key West's most famous party area - Duval Street! Enjoy the hustle and bustle of live music and world renowned restaurants, then you and your party can retire to SVII's private, fence enclosed sanctuary.
SVII is conveniently located on a private lane just off Simonton, between Southard and Fleming (just behind the Marquesa Hotel). It’s an extremely unique location for such a large Villa. SVII provides the convenience of being within walking distance to all the action Old Town has to offer, while still allowing guests to retreat to the sanctuary, a much more tranquil atmosphere that only a home on a quiet Key West lane can provide. Although a driveway is provided, most guests find they leave the keys at home and instead walk or bike to local attractions - fine dining, bars, galleries, nightlife, shopping, museums, and much, much more! And although the heated pool may encourage you to relax and sunbathe at home, three of the most popular Key West beaches are within a minute's bike ride.
Please note - one mid-sized car or small SUV can comfortably fit in the driveway.
- Secret Villa II is a Healthy Environment Experience -
Anyone who has traveled in the tropics knows humidity is the enemy, quickly turning even elegant venues into musty unhealthy experiences. No matter how much a place is cleaned or overly scented with perfumes to hide the problem, the only way to have a healthy house is to address humidity and air quality head on!
At Secret Villa II, the entire structure has been renovated including the air quality and air handling equipment. All furniture, draperies, mattresses, pillows and linens are clean and new. All duct work was either replaced or cleaned with eco-friendly antimicrobial agents. The HVAC system includes HEPA filtration and whole house dehumidification. The house has hurricane impact windows and doors that seal in the low humidity and HEPA-clean air making it pleasant throughout the entire house.
Also while guests may smoke their Havana cigars out by the pool, we have a “No Smoking” policy inside the house. The result is an extraordinarily healthy environment where guests wake up feeling refreshed, energized, and ready to meet the day!
- The Accommodations -
All SVII rooms are large and comfortable making the house a perfect getaway for 2 to 3 couples. The 2nd floor has 2 master bedrooms each with an en suite bathroom - one with a California King bed and the other with a King bed. The upstairs bedrooms share a large outside porch where guests can enjoy a late night glass of wine while watching the night sky and taking in a cool evening breeze. The first floor bedroom shares a bath with the living room and comes furnished with a Queen sized bed. The first floor bedroom is perfect for in-laws or grandparents that may be part of your vacation party.
All beds have recently been updated with double pillow tops, ultra luxurious, extra firm mattresses. All bedrooms include extra soft, high thread count sheets with 6 pillows, a comforter, extra sheets, blankets, towels, dark make-up removing towels, a ceiling fan, black-out curtains, smoke detector, safe, and flat screen cable TV. Every convenience has been thought-of and added, including even small conveniences such as powerstrips with USB connections on both sides of the bed. Although designed for 3 couples, the living room also includes a full-sized pullout bed.
- The Private Pool -
One of the highlights of this home is the private pool area. Fully fenced and surrounded by lush tropical greenery for safety and complete privacy, this will undoubtedly be a primary gathering place for your group. The comfortable chaise lounges can be pulled into the sun or the shade right beside the pool. Sun bathing can be on the upper terrace or poolside, and multiple pool towels are provided.
The pool area includes a propane grill for an outdoor BBQ by the pool. Enjoy the view from the upper terrace that overlooks the rooftops and the trees of Old Town, or mix-up some much-deserved cocktails in the blender as you watch the rest of your group play in the pool and the burgers cook on the grill.
- The Living Area & Kitchen -
Secret Villa II boasts an extra large living room with high ceilings and luxurious modern furnishings including a 60” LED HDTV with premium Cable. Secure 100MB/s high-speed internet with wifi is available throughout the property. Floor to ceiling double french doors allow natural light to pour into the first floor all day while blackout curtains provide privacy at night. A full complement of games are located in the credenza under the living room TV (i.e. Poker chip set and playing cards, Clue, Monopoly, Cards Against Humanity, Yahtzee, Scrabble, etc.).
Amateur and master chefs alike will love their cooking experience in the fully equipped and spacious kitchen. If you enjoy staying in and creating your own meals, every high-end modern kitchen appliance can be found right in the comfort of your vacation home. The kitchen includes state of the art appliances and all of the tools and utensils you will need to prepare a meal at home when taking a break from the restaurant options of Key West. Open shelving allows guests to easily select the right wine, beer, or cocktail glass for your own happy hour (blender provided!). The outdoor patio, accessible from either the kitchen or living room, has seating for eight.
Conveniently located at the end of the kitchen is a state-of-the-art, over-sized washer and dryer, making laundry tasks quick, easy, and finished while you’re out and about enjoying the town.

SVII is more than fantastic – instead it’s actually JUST RIGHT! Newly renovated, clean, comfortable, spacious, private, lush, and centrally located.

The property received glowing reviews for its convenient location, private pool, fully stocked home, and attentive property managers. Guests loved the luxurious comfort, cleanliness, and amenities, expressing their desire to return in the future.
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect for our family. Everyone had their own room and bathroom and plenty of space. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and a grocery store was in close walking distance. Pool was perfect too. Very central to most everything and a close ride to things too far to walk. We ranged from 13 year old to mid 20's couple to a "little" older couple and all enjoyed
5.0 / 5.0
Very convenient to all of our favorites places to visit. Grocery just around the corner. Loved having the private pool for cooling off. Would definitely recommend staying here.

We enjoyed the Quban Coffee Queen a shot walk around the corner! A great little Bar called Heroes had live music in a small venue! We will be back and stay here if available!

We could not have asked for a better place to stay in the area. Walking distance to wonderful food drinks and live music. Home is fully stocked, very clean and easy to work with management. Definitely would stay here again.

We have stayed at Jim's property before and hope to again. The property is spotless, on a quiet street close to Duval and still private. We love it here. Jim spares no attention to detail. The property is heavenly!

5.0 / 5.0
We love this place. Great accommodations, location, host. I don't want to rave too much because we don't want too many people to find out about it because it's getting booked up!
5.0 / 5.0
The house was beautiful and comfortable and had us lacking for nothing. The location is fantastic... on a quiet dead end street but a very short walk to everything. Would definitely recommend! Our hosts were wonderful and very responsive as well.
4.0 / 5.0
Our overall experience was very good with just a couple small exceptions. Of importance to us on vacation is good TV and good internet service. While the WIFI worked extremely well and handled all our devices, the TV was lacking. The write up on this property stated "cable TV" and at one place even "premium cable TV". At our age, streaming is not so prevalent and we enjoy our cable TV when we are in the house. This was extremely disappointing and frustrating as the Apple TV interface was terrible. We could hardly ever find any local channels just to be able to see news and weather. I will not go on about it, but we would simply never have rented this property had we known it did not have good cable TV as advertised on VRBO. Otherwise, we had a great time and enjoyed Key West and especially the central location of this property.

It’s a fabulous property — luxurious and comfortable. Well located too. We will be back!

SV2 was everything they advertised and more. The house was very clean. They supplied EVERYTHING we needed; tide pods, speaker, beach towels. The property manager was very nice and a huge help. We walked to everything; great location. We will be back!
5.0 / 5.0
This house was perfect for our family of five. Our teen daughter had her own space and our younger kids were upstairs by us. The pool was great! The property manager was very responsive the couple of times we had questions. She went out of her way to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. The house was very clean! We appreciated having everything we needed to feel at home away from home. And you cannot beat this location! Walk everywhere or rent a golf cart for extra ease! We would definitely stay here again!
5.0 / 5.0
Excellent people to work with. Always available for questions or concerns. Excellent location

We had a wonderful 4 nights at this property. The location is ideal being so close to Duval Street. The house was just as described with everything you might need. Check in was smooth and we very much recommend this property if you are staying in Key West.
5.0 / 5.0
We loved having the large living area and pool. The kitchen was well stocked with basics like coffee filters, coffee and spices. Having a washer and dryer was a bonus. Three couples stayed in the house. We each had our own bedroom and private bathroom.
5.0 / 5.0
We spent 5 nights in Key West at Secret Villa II with a family of 6. The home was perfect for us. The kitchen had everything we needed for dining in, and the layout of the house worked well for our group. We loved spending afternoons in the pool (and some mornings) in a private, relaxed environment. The bikes were a great addition and fun way to explore. Highly recommend!

5.0 / 5.0
I can’t say enough about secret villas. This is as our second time staying here and it’s just like being at home. Everything is provided and Andrea is always just a call away with any questions.
The property is conveniently located on a quiet street in the middle of all your needs and just a block away from Duval.
Bicycles are provided, a great wine shoppe right next door along with Fausto’s grocery store.
One day we took the afternoon off from activities and just chilled out by the pool.
We had 3 couples so the 3 bedroom 3 bath makes it perfect for your own space.
The fact that the house has an identical property attached would be percent for a large gathering.
Can’t say enough about it!
5.0 / 5.0
The property was amazing; Clean, modern, comfortable and well maintained! The house is bright and nicely laid out, with well stocked amenities. The location is central to so many great activities and bars/restaurants. The pool was a perfect way to cool off after an afternoon on Duval St. Andrea and Kate from the Management Staff were attentive and very helpful. This was such a relaxing, entertaining stay! We would be happy to book Secret Villas II again in the future!

Stayed in Secret Villa II for a week to celebrate a big birthday! Location and Villa did not disappoint! Home was centrally located and had every thing we needed to have a great time. Property manager was extremely accommodating and available 24/7. Would highly recommend and look forward to booking again!
5.0 / 5.0
We had a great stay here in key west. The house was clean, organized & comfortable. Each room has it own bathroom which is very nice. The beds are very comfortable as well! The house was cool and stayed pretty cool for the most part. You do need to empty out the floor dehumidifier unit daily if you want this running.
Overall a great stay- close to duval but far enough away we could escape when needed. 5 stars!
5.0 / 5.0
The location and layout of the property was perfect for our two families with 5 adult children. We enjoyed the privacy of the pools and the central location to all of the music events. Would definitely recomend this property to others.

Our stay at Secret Villas II couldn't have been better. My husband and I, along with 2 other couples thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The villa itself was well appointed, clean, plenty of amenities (including 3 bikes) and, thank goodness, a full bath with each bedroom. Better yet, the location was perfect and Andrea, our host, was great - responded quickly and couldn't have been nicer. We've already rebooked for next year!
5.0 / 5.0
Secret Villa was the perfect property for our group of 6. It is as beautifully decorated as the pictures and with a full kitchen, living room and 3 bathrooms, spacious for 3 couples. The greenery around the patio/pool area creates such privacy we spent all of our time outside. When we arrived and were met by Andrea who greeted us so warmly and was available throughout our stay with just a text we felt right at home. The location is the absolute best, short walk to Duval st., grocery store around the corner, and restaurants very close by and with parking so hard to find makes it unnecessary to have a car. We did rent a golf cart for 2 days and that was a lot of fun. Also rode the bikes around in the mornings. Cannot express enough how wonderful Secret Villa is! Definitely recommend this location. And already looking at dates to return. Thank you Andrea and Jim
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect vacation home for couples and family. The home was just as described and the house Manager Andrea was amazing and very personable. We spent our time riding bikes in the mornings and pool side till we ventured out for dinner and drinks. Plenty of shady areas on the porch and spots in the pool to get a break from the sun. It was nice to have a full kitchen and a grill, grocery store is a 2 min walk. Great location, easy to get to restaurants, bars and the pier for sunset. Our group is already looking at dates for next year.
5.0 / 5.0
I'm afraid of giving a glowing response here because we want to save this for ourselves. But, I will. Excellent place to stay in Key West, the house was nicely done, excellent location, a great little hideaway from all the action, but close enough to it. Andrea was awesome.
4.0 / 5.0
This property is absolutely wonderful! The rooms are spacious and the house was very very clean! It was so nice to walk out of our door and jump in the private pool - you really felt like there was no one around you! The house is well located to all of the shopping, attractions, bars/restaurants and a nice walk to the beach. You really don’t need a car to get wherever you want to go. We were there for a friend’s wedding so we were on the go and it felt great to come back home to our own little oasis! Definitely will stay here again!
5.0 / 5.0
Secret Villas did NOT disappoint in any way. Everything was as advertised and impeccably clean/decorated. This was the perfect home base for our family visit to Key West and the Dry Tortugas. The kitchen and patio/pool setting was perfect for evening meals and poolside fun for all. We will be back! Definitely would recommend this location for a family or getaway with friends. Thank you to Andrea and Jim for being wonderful hosts!
5.0 / 5.0
Beautiful home. Property manager, Andrea, was amazing. Location is perfect...near EVERYTHING, and home is located on an extremely quiet lane...would definitely rent again! Thank you!
5.0 / 5.0
Extremely Clean. The location couldn't be better. Close to all the excitement of Duval Street, yet secluded by vegetation and seems as though you are very private. Property manager met us and introduced herself. She was available by text to answer questions. Already booked for 2023!
5.0 / 5.0
This is a great property! The pool is great and we enjoyed the outdoor space every evening. The location is perfect, close to duval but on a quiet lane. When management realized how early our flight was arriving, they were kind enough to offer us early check-in. We had an electrical issue that was quickly addressed by management. The only downside is the parking: We had a minivan and parking it was a trick. Some of the neighbors are inconsiderate about their parking and blocked us in or out more than once. If we hadn't had daily excursions planned, the parking would not have affected us. Overall, a value for what is offered. We had hoped to book again next year, but we were too late! :(
