Simonton Studio, an Old Town get-away for 2
About this apartment rental
The Simonton Studio is neat, sweet and complete. This pet friendly accommodation is the perfect location for exploring Key West. So, get out there and live it up in Key West and come home to a king size bed and everthing you need to fix your own cocktails and prepare some shrimp on the shared propane grill in the Courtyard. Located in a 6 unit compound this tiny Association is located in the heart of Old Town on Simonton St. Walk to the Hemmingway House, the Butterfly Conservatory and stroll Duval street with it's shops, restaurants, galleries and museums. People ask me about parking more than anything and this condo does not come with assigned parking but there are 3 spaces on the street out front available on a first come basis. I provide additioanl tips for finding parking with my instructions but I encourage you to not bring a car into Old Town as it is an historic district and over 100 years ago it was not anticipated that tens of thousands of visitors would come to enjoy it's beauty so there simply is not enough parking in Old Town for all who come and changing that would affect the historical value. A car is not a practical way to tour Old Town because parking is scarce and expensive all over town. Locals have adapted and have taken to bicycles to travel the Town. The City of Key West has implemented a bus service around Old Town called the Duval Loop and it stops a half block from this rental. Should you book this property I strongly recommend you purchase the cancellation insurance offered by VRBO, particularly during hurricane season. Flights are frequently canceled by the airlines and while they may be willing to rebook new flights I do not have the flexibility to give you new dates and you will be expected to pay for the dates you booked. Cancellation insurance will cover this in most cases. There is no pool at this property but there are small beaches all around the island and several are within walking distance of this property; Southernmost Beach would be closest at 6 blocks away. Fort Zachary Taylor State Park has the beach that locals like best, it is a State Park so there is a fee but the facilities are excellent: picnic tables, grills, outdoor shower, indoor shower, change rooms, restaurant, chaise lounges for rent and a water view that is the best in Key West. If you prefer a pool there is an excellent public pool at 300 Catherine St. The MLK Community Pool is an 11 minute walk from the condo and this roof-top, outdoor pool offers excellent sunbathing and views of Key West. There are also hotels that welcome patrons of their restauant to use their pools and I provide info on those locations in the condo. Thank you, Pam MacKenzie

The place was as described and very clean. The location is great for riding bikes to get around. The only issues were limited free parking and the wall AC struggled the July heat. It was a little noisy but the fan helped keep the room cool.

Amazing stay, perfect for a little get away. Everything is in walking distance and we were able to park right in front of the complex and not move until we left. Would definitely stay again!

Excellent location for our stay. Duval Loop bus stop was close by. Disappointed that the Wi-Fi service was down for two days. Close to restaurants but away from the clutter of Duval

This was a perfect little cottage that was welcoming and cozy and had the most comfortable bed and pillows. This cottage was very close to everything, we walked most of the time, the Duval loop was a block away and Ubers were very reasonable. The owner was super friendly and responded quickly and very very helpful.

We had a wonderful stay, the owner/property manager has thought of everything! Our stay was comfortable and equipped with amenities we didn’t expect but were pleased to have! Very clean and comfortable.
Pam was also helpful and very responsive when we had questions and was willing to work with us when our schedule changed unexpectedly.
The location itself is fantastic; close enough to be near all the action (one street over from Duval and within walking distance to several fun/adventurous activities) but at the same time, far enough to feel like a retreat/respite from real life. Would not hesitate to recommend this spot if we had anyone ask us where to stay if they’re down that way.

Very comfortable and a great location for short stays. Very comfortable bed!! Would have used more of the kitchen had we stayed longer. Maybe we will next time!

This studio is located in a great location in Key West! It is great walking/biking distance to many attractions around Key West, such as Duval Street, the Shipwreck museum, the Key West Aquarium, Sloppy Joes, the Southern Most Point Bouy and much more. There’s also a CVS near by and laundry mats in case you didn’t pack enough outfits for vacation. The studio itself is very clean and comes with plenty dishes/glasses/silverware and towels for you to use throughout your stay. The host responds back to you relatively quickly, so don’t hesitate to reach out to her with any questions or concerns. I would love to come back to Key West one day and stay here again!

This unit was honestly a perfect little getaway from the island. The A/C cranked and the place was always a great spot to cool off after walking around. Its located only a street away from Duval which is where all the best bars and restaurants were. Sometimes if you sit outside there are a few geckos that come out and run around, was really cool to see if you enjoy nature. Overall I would book here again if I come back.

The overall property was nice. Everything was clean and the owner was very easy to work with. We enjoyed being able to sit out on the patio in the mornings with our coffee. The patio area is small but for the two of us it worked out fine.

We enjoyed our stay at this little cottage. It was very close to everything on Duval street…one street over actually. Everything…I mean everything is within walking distance from this cottage. I recommend trying the Cuban restaurant right around the corner. The woman there is just the sweetest and the food was great! The cottage has everything you would need as mentioned in their description. I didn’t have to call the property manager/owner for anything because there wasn’t an extra thing needed. My ONLY suggestion would be new pillows, as the pillows there are a bit worn and not very comfortable. And if you’re looking for any kind of view this wouldn’t be the place to rent, but it was cozy for the little amount of time we spent inside. Overall it’s a great little place to stay.
5.0
Great private location one block off Duval. Everything we needed was within walking distance yet just off the beating path enough to have a little privacy. Wife and I spent 3 wonderful nights in this well appointed studio after slowly working our way down the Keys. Kitchenette had everything we needed including a Keurig.. important!! Perfect for a couple. Rented a moped right across the street and left the car parked right out front. Private patio was perfect.
Owner Pam made contact a couple weeks ahead of time with details and points of interest. Contacted us through VRBO several days before our stay with everything we needed for check-in. We
never had to speak again. Everything was as it was promised so we felt no need to bother her.
Thank you Pam.. that’s the way a rental should go. Had anything come up, her contact info was right there. Perfect!

We had such a wonderful time in Key West and lets just say the accommodations certainly lent to our enjoyment. Mary's condo was not only everything it said it was but more. You couldn't ask for a more convenient location. Literally on the doorstep to everything. The accommodations were well appointed with all of the amenities that you'd need. The place was immaculate not even a grain of sand on the floor. The bed was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well stock for any cooking needs that you'd like to do. The community grill was at your disposal. Over-all it was just a great experience. I'd like to thank Mary for her generosity and hospitality. If your looking for the location, location, location this it it.
