What our guests are saying...
Island Retreat was described as a perfect, cute, and beautiful home that offered a wonderful stay and exceeded expectations. The home was well appointed and comfortable, with spacious bathrooms, helpful closet space, and an easy single-level layout. Guests consistently praised Island Retreat for being very clean, safe, and well maintained. Its location in Old Town was considered perfect, with convenient access to local attractions, dining, and groceries, and the property also offered parking. The backyard was a standout feature, with a heated plunge pool, colorful evening lighting, a fenced layout that added comfort outdoors, and inviting spaces for swimming, lounging, and dining. Additional highlights included a well-equipped kitchen, an outdoor grill that worked very well, and excellent service with easy check-in and check-out.
Overview
Enjoy a soak in your own private, heated saltwater pool at this lovely duplex! Part of the Tropical Vibes home, this duplex is a charming hideaway with plenty of room to hang out. Open the sizable glass sliding door to create a seamless indoor/outdoor space between the kitchen, living room, and pool deck. Grill up something tasty on the private gas grill, then finish it off with a glaze in the full, semi-open kitchen. There's enough room at the kitchen island to cook up the sides while something cooks on the range! Set up at the dining or the poolside table, and you can arrange a whole table with the provided flatware and glassware. When you're ready to wind down, just adjust the central air conditioning and slip into quilt bedding that reflects the bright-yet-homey vibes of Key West. Each bedroom features its own mounted TV and en suite bathroom. After all, getting ready in the morning is way more fun with a tiled standalone shower and a selfie-friendly illuminated mirror. The tile work also extends to the walls for a truly relaxing space. You'll be inspired by all the artistic touches of this home - it's only natural for the southernmost town of the continental US!
What's nearby:
If you're looking to head straight to the beach, Higgs Beach is half a mile away! The Southernmost Point of the continental United States is just over a half-mile away - take a picture and then enjoy some conch fritters at the Southernmost Beach Cafe. Take in a bit of history at the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, just under one mile from the duplex. But if you're looking for a different kind of escape less than one mile away, take a walk through a sanctuary of colorful birds and over 50 species of butterflies at the Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservatory.

Cute little duplex in Old Town sleeps 4 adults easily with 2 full private baths! Heated pool rules the backyard and colorful lighting adds ambience in the evening. Compact kitchen and outside grill exceeded expectations! Grill isn't fancy but worked extremely well! The smartly positioned fenced backyard blocks much of the winter wind in February allowing us to enjoy swimming, outside lounging and dining when we needed jeans and jackets on the street side of the home. We loved our stay!
As noted above, I was very unhappy with the service from Vacasa. Areas of concern took days to remedy, including the dishwasher and the wifi/television.
Nice house. Good service
Always clean, safe, beautiful house!
