Worried for this property
I don’t like giving negative reviews as I feel I typically review my vacation properties wry well and rarely disappointed. First let me say the Management is very communicative and accessible. There is a Manager that lives on site that we were not aware of. We were not happy about that until things started going wrong then at least he was there. The property is becoming dilapidated. There is obvious water damage, cracks and rot happening and just being painted over. From a distance it looks great but the beds have mold on the mattress covers, some box springs are falling through to the floor. Ceiling fans don’t work in some rooms and rooms upstairs run hot. There was an ice maker on the counter that didn’t work. Furnishings need updating. Don’t lay on the sheets on outside beds as it rains and the sheets are not changed. In the pool house there were a/c issues and ants. Water issues in the bathroom. Shower Wouldn’t drain. We have stayed in many mansions and 5 star properties in Bahamas, Caymans, Mexico etc This time we thought we would try USA but unfortunately this property needs attention. High points are excellent communication w management, beautiful location and view, awsome TV’s in almost every space, room for our large boat. This was once a beautiful home. Our friend that lives around the corner used to go there in High School when there was an actual pool in the living room. Then of course then it was Real World House. I’m just sad to see the upkeep isn’t there.

More Than I Expected
I could not have asked for more. I had my Tribe of 20 to celebrate my 60th Birthday, and it was epic. Andrew was the most accommodations host I have ever worked with beginning before I even booked the house. Please note this house has some wear ( but don’t we all) that adds the the charm and uniquely of is this house. If you are looking for The Four Seasons, please book at The Four Seasons…but if you are looking for a place where everyone has there own space or want to be all together, this is the place!! My guest ranged in age from 65 to 25 and everyone agreed it was the best experience each had experienced. . I highly recommended this property!! Cannot wait to booked again Thank You Andrew and Scott

Perfect for a family reunion!
This house was perfect for our 20-person, multi-generational family reunion! The teens loved the indoor racquetball court, ping pong table, paddle boards, kayaks, bikes, pools, and hot tubs, while the grandparents loved playing with the baby in the large sunk-in living room. We appreciated having the very responsive property manager on-site, to help us with issues such as the wifi or burnt-out light bulbs. (Don't put workaholics from your group in the add-on racquetball house... the wifi doesn't quite reach.) We knew exactly what to expect thanks to Andrew's detailed welcome texts sent one week earlier.

Suprise
We were very excited to stay at this property but the excitement came to a halt at check-in. We had booked the property and paid in full prior to arrival. Unfortunately, the listing is a bit vague on the 2 bds located in the racquet ball section of the property. There is no mention of an additional cost so we were very surprised to find out we would be charged significantly more per night for the extra 2 bds. Traveling on a company trip we needed all the bedrooms. So... we had to paypal immediately a large additional per night charge upon arrival... Beyond that the house itself is in very poor condition. Kitchen is in need of updating(not at all what you would expect at this price point), pool is not in great condition, screws sticking up all over the decking. many lightbulbs out throughout the rooms, lights outside on trees just don't go on, toaster doesn't work on one side, kinda a musky smell throughout. Tennis courts... not in good condition. Horseshoe pits... nope overgrown with weeds and unusable. Cornhole set has clearly enjoyed alot of the weather, very bad condition, beanbags all ripped Simply put this house was not at all what we had expected at the price point paid. Only thing that impressed us with this house was the amazing location. The proximity to the water and downtown key west is simply unbelievable. If you are looking for a party house in key west with no concern for the condition of the house this may be the right fit but for us it was a big disappointment.

Great location on the water
I completely enjoyed waking up each morning, getting my coffee and sitting on one of the docks. The location provides a beautiful view of the water. I do have to say the house is dated, not terrible by any means but could use some maintenance. I didn't mind the property manager being in the property but I will say the session required before you can even check in is kind of a vacation buzz kill. I think it took about 30 to 45 mins. Probably has to do that due to bad past renters. Nothing I've ever experienced before for any of my VRBO stays. Most homes have a book on a table or posted documents on the refrigerator with instructions. All in all it was good.

Great experience we would do again!
We went down for my 40th bday and had a great time. It was perfect for adults that didn’t bring any kids. Plenty of pool space and entertaining areas for a group of 15 people. All in all there was nothing we would change...other than we would bring our own pillows. It’s about a $25-$35 Uber to get downtown so if you want to frequent there a lot it’s an investment, but the Uber’s were always 5-6 mins away so it was quick. The house is what you would expect and see in the pictures. If you are the person who expects a perfect house that was on MTV 15 years than you probably need to check your own expectations. Andrew was great. The chef was awesome!

Best Business Trip Ever
We earned a trip to the keys for our business! With having a big group it was hard to find a house to accommodate us all. I found this house on VRBO and LOVED IT! The owner was amazing and helpful throughout the entire process. He made sure we were taken care of and set up for a great time. Not only is the house amazing (just like the pictures) but we loved the paddleboards, kayaks, pools and cornhole. There was so much to do the only thing we wished was that we could stay longer! We definitely will be coming back!

Birthday Bash
Property was the perfect location and set up to celebrate a birthday with a large group of women. Whether we were swimming off the dick it in the pool the backyard patio area was very comfortable and relaxing. Wish that the grill was closer to the main house with night lights to see better when grilling. Aric is a dream!! He comes with the house and was always available to answer any questions and assist in getting our floats blown up. Everyone enjoyed themselves and we all had a ton of fun!! Best Birthday ever!! 😉

Run down and overrated
The photos, reviews and description of this property are dated and inaccurate. The day before you're stay you will be asked to call the host, who will only then tell you that there is a noise ordinance that is in place at 8 PM, where you will not be warned and immediately fined if you are noncompliant. When you arrive, you'll be greeted by a 7 page "welcome letter" that condescendingly details everything that you cannot do in the house, including how you can store food? The house is heinous, which is expected. It is filthy and even had a fan blowing in a room to dry the carpet. Beyond that, each of the refrigerators have broken shelves, allowing things to fall out every time you open the doors. Worse than that, one smelled as if someone had stored raw fish in it for weeks. The host provides enough toilet paper 'incase your flight runs late' but nothing more. There is 1 functioning paddle for the 6 SUP boards, the wifi does not work "due to the hurricane protection of the house", and there was an infestation of carpenter ants on the last night. What is undeniably inexcusable is that the host showed up unannounced to the property on our first night as we were leaving for dinner. He did not ask to speak to the primary renter, instead, he chose to approach the one male in the group and harass him about how many people we had staying in the house even though he had been assured multiple times that there were no more than 16 (the apparent limit for the main house). He stood there and counted our party, and could not come up with more than 12 of us. He then waited in the street for the last car to leave, and assuming he believed that we all were gone, so he came onto the property as I was waiting in the house for him to leave. When he did, I finished locking the house up and went to leave, and the owner was waiting down the street behind an island of bushes. He proceeded to FOLLOW ME IN HIS CAR for at least 3 miles. He did not return my phone call made to address this situation the rest of the weekend. His actions made me and all of my guests uncomfortable and unwelcome. Following our stay, I learned of his negative reviews as well as his criminal history in Key West. I do not recommend this property, or any of his other properties to you for these reasons and recommend he be removed as a host.

A big hit!
We recently spent spring break at the Real World MTV House and it was a big success, which is hard to do with a big group - and one that includes teenagers! Tons to do at the house - from bikes to tennis to fishing to paddleboarding to kayaking to racquetball ... kids loved it, as did some of the friends that stopped by to visit. The location of the property is excellent - beautiful outdoor area on the corner. Short drive to Duvall Street. Andrew and his team were incredibly helpful the entire time - from pre-trip all the way through our stay working to ensure we had everything we needed to make the visit a good one. Would definitely recommend for large groups looking to have some fun!
