We had a great 4 days at the Caribbean Cottage. It was “as advertised” in every respect. The location is half a block off Duval at the quieter end of the street. Practically right out the door is a convenience store and also a coffee shop. It was like having a kitchen pantry mass than a minute away - very convenient.
The beds were great as were the bathrooms. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Having a washer and dryer that worked well was also very nice.
The quiet neighborhood, parking for one car, grill (we didn’t use) with great outdoor sitting areas in back and on the front porch made our stay everything we had hoped it would be. All of the administrative details were handled professionally. We’ll definitely be back to this property, or another one managed by this group for our next Key West trip.

Stayed at Caribbean Cottage and it was fantastic! House was as pictured, clean, well stocked kitchen, and lovely little plunge pool. Convenient location with easy walkability, but also an off street parking space for one car (we rented to travel to other islands and marinas, but you wouldn’t need one if staying in Key West proper). Support and responsiveness from VHKW was AMAZING…they were excellent to work with and we would seek out this property management group to stay with again in the future.

We had a lovely stay on a perfect location for seeing Key West on foot. The home was charming and very comfortable. Having the private backyard/patio/pool area was a plus. We had one need to contact VHKW and the issue was resolved very quickly by maintenance. We did hear some road and traffic noise but it was expected (this was not our first trip to Key West). Thank you for the amazing house!

This cottage had everything my husband and I needed. The pool was just the right size for cooling off. We liked the location nearer the southern end. The only negative was the size of the shower in the second bathroom. Very tiny, even for a small woman like myself. Loved having the lockbox for the key. Saved us time not having to check in or out of the office. Had enough starter supplies.

Excellent location. Perfect cottage. Comfortable, very clean. Had every amenity we needed to cook, grill, swim and relax. This will be our go to rental moving forward. The one car parking driveway was a huge plus. Parking in Key West can be extremely difficult and expensive. Pulled in one time, never moved it again till we left a week later. We rented a golf cart for the week. Next time will bring our bikes or opt for scooter. As you can park them anywhere for free. We loved it

There was a TV with access to the internet so we could stream a movie one night when it was raining, and we were able to watch a preseason football game also. The beds were comfortable and it was very quiet at night. We would definitely stay there again. In fact, I wish we were there right now.

Great location - nice set up. We rented both cottages together. Rear cottage was slightly nicer, in terms of a/c, upgraded counters, general overall condition. Front cottage was fine but a bit noisier - especially roosters in the a.m.! The pools were awesome, but hard to keep clean - many leaves from overhanging trees. We did not see a pool person come in during the week. Using the pool deck as a pass-through and gathering area between the two cottages worked well for us. Prior to rental, we were told that the two homes were separated by a trellis fence that was removed when the properties were rented together - this was not so - there was just a doorway in the fence between the two. We were a bit surprised that there was no pool/beach gear in the home at all - no beach towels, and just a sign warning that we would be fined if we stained the white towels. We had to purchase beach towels while in town. Overall we were happy with the rental, and loved Key West.

Enjoyed the home ver much. Love the vibe of Caribbean colors and vintage furniture. We had an enjoyable time. Only suggestion would be to chain across the driveway. We found a car parked there and had to call the police. After 30 minutes of frustration, it was determined that the home owner told a friend they could use the parking spot. She didn't realize the home was rented.

Location location location! It's right at the corner of Duval st which makes it super easy to get to anywhere. That said, it's probably the part we enjoyed the most. The house itself was fine as long as you aren't looking for privacy..and by privacy, I mean you don't mind showering, using the bathroom in the presence of everyone else in the house..and forget about “private time” unless you and your partner are traveling alone. The doors to ALL bathrooms and bedrooms are louvered doors that close with an eye hook and when I say close..I mean there's still a wide gap between the doors which makes all of your business public. It was an interesting scenario with a house full. Like I said, the house otherwise is fine. It was clean and older as most homes there are. It was a place to rest our heads, not much more.

We loved calling the Caribbean Cottage our home-away-from-home for 12 days in November 2020. The house is small but quite comfortable and had everything we needed to make our holiday a good one. We especially liked the outside patio area and the heated pool. The house's location can't be beat. We were no more than a 5 to 10 minute cab ride from most of the sights we wanted to see. An extra benefit were the three restaurants - Italian, Japanese and seafood - just across the street from the house.

The house was very clean & had nice bedding. The air conditioner in the living room could not keep the area cool, probably due to the size. The AC in the bedrooms were ok. Also there was a hole in the closet wall In the smaller bedroom that allowed a rather large iguana to visit. We had to chase it out with a broom. The bathroom adjacent to the large bedroom did not have an exhaust fan & got very hot. The pool was nice! Overall a very nice house & great location.

The house sits in the perfect location, close to downtown and just a few feet from Duval St but far enough to be very relaxing. There are plenty of shops and restaurants around and everything is within walking distance. The house works well for 2 couples and has everything you need but could use a little love, the air conditioning is loud and is always running of course because of the heat. If your interested in TV the second bedroom was the only one to have HBO type channels and not the main one. The pool is a great size and we used it every day it was wonderful but again the pump was loud and never stopped. We would definitely recommend this house and we would choose it again if we visit Key West.

This house was in a perfect location being right off of Duval street. It was also nice having the parking off the street for our rental car. Our little ones enjoyed use of the pool which was perfect for cooling off in the heat. The house was just as expected with some cool features. Our only complaint and it was a slight complaint was the the house could have been cleaned just a little better in the bathrooms. In full disclosure, I'm not sure if this was more so just a reflection of the outdated bathrooms but they could definitely use a little updating/deep clean. Then again the rate on the house was great so I suppose if the bathrooms had been fully updated you would probably be paying a premium for it. I would definitely book again though.

What a quaint and warm little cottage. We fully enjoyed ourselves. Only issue was the pool is a little small and deck space for sunning was limited. It also could be the time of year, but the sun availability was limited around the pool. But we will visit this cottage again in the future. Well worth the time and money. Much closer to Duvall St activity than website leads you to believe. Fabulous to walk out your front door to get great Ice Cream and staples just at the end of the street (100 feet).

The hardest part of this vacation, was LEAVING!!! Reservations were easy, as was the paperwork and payments. My mom had never taken a vacay like this, but I had, so I knew what to pack, but the house was already prepped with most of the essentials we took! The 506 Virginia was very clean, had a very warm coming home feeling to it, and the private pool was everything! Check in was very easy and I love the fact that VHKW called me prior to arrival to touch base. We will definitely come back to 506 Virginia, and look forward to working with VHKW again! My only suggestion would be to spray the yard, or bring yard guard for the mosquitos! They were really bad early morning and later afternoon...but they didn't keep us from having a blast!

We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary this year and could not have been happier with the cottage. My husband travels for work, so he never truly feel like he's on vacation if we are staying in a hotel. The cottage was a perfect choice and felt just like home to us. Location was awesome, so close to great restaurants and the quiet side of the island. Yes, there was some 'Duval noise' on a few occasions, but that's to be expected. Plus, we could sit on the front porch and people watch, which is part of the charm of Key West! We rented bikes for the week and I rode every morning, then came back, took a dip in the pool and spent the rest of the day relaxing. We cooked 90% of our meals there. Only constructive input would be the water heater seemed to be pretty small as the hot water seemed to disappear after a short shower. The keys for the front door were a bit tricky, but no big deal. It would be nice to be able to open up a window or two to let the breeze in, but we did understand that might be a safety issue in the area. Lastly, maybe a non-stick pan for the kitchen? All in all, nothing that would prevent us from recommending this unit and your company with 100% confidence.
