Bachelorette Weekend in Key West

5 of 5
Submitted: May 14, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
My closest girlfriends and I traveled to Key West for a mutual friends bachelorette weekend. Being that we were all from the northeast we were so excited for 4 days of fun in the sun. After a long and wet drive down from Miami we were delighted to meet Shel at "Casa Louisa" - just as the sun was starting to peak out from behind the clouds. The house itself was so adorable! It was both warm and inviting while still being spacious enough for the 6 of us. Between the 2 downstairs bedrooms and the upstairs loft, we never felt cramp. The house was very true to its pictures with new furniture and a lovely kitchen fully stocked with everything we needed for the weekend. The outdoor pool area acted as a second living room as we spent most of the trip lounging outside. The location of the house was equally as special, just far enough of from the heart of Duval street so you still have that "sleepy beach" feel but close enough so that we could park the SUV on the side of the road and get around by foot for the entire vacation. Shel was so very accommodating, he knew all the ins and outs of the house and was always available. He even did something special for the bride, setting up a gorgeous display of champagne and cupcakes after chatting with her fiance! All in all it was a wonderful and memorable weekend and mostly because of the house. We hope to be back soon and would absolutely stay at the "Casa Louisa"!

Wonderful in Every Way

5 of 5
Submitted: April 25, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
I can't say enough good things about Casa Luisa and Last Key Realty. From start to finish the rental and on-site staff were professional, responsive and downright friendly.

The property itself, it was exactly as advertised. In fact the plunge pool in the back was larger than I thought it would be. The backyard offers plenty of privacy and the property was clean and well -maintained.

As for the Conch Cottage, although it offers only 1,000 sq ft of living space, it was more than large enough for four people. The third, upstairs, bedroom doesn't have an attached bathroom making it better suited to children.

We had one minor glitch during our stay: the refrigerator gave out, but Shel the property manager had someone onsite the very next day to make the repair. We lost some food, but Last Key were nice enough to offer us a credit to offset the cost.

The location couldn't be beat - at the "quiet"/South end of Duval Street; a few minutes away from restaurants, 3 blocks from the Southernmost tip of the US, and 2 1/2 blocks away from South Beach which offers a full range of amenities including rental chairs and umbrellas, bathroom, beach cafe, water sport rentals. etc. A short 15 minute walk had us in the thick of Duval Street fun.

I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Casa Louisa and Last Key Realty and renting again should we return.

Lovely cottage rental

5 of 5
Submitted: April 9, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Casa Louisa was everything the listing described and more. It was such a lovely quaint cottage and so "Key West". Sitting on a little quiet street yet so close to everything. The convenience to coffee and breakfast places not to mention bike delivery was great.The property was well maintained and the back patio and pool area was enjoyable. There was a lot of privacy even though the houses are close to each other. The pool is small but certainly big enough to cool off or warm up on a cool spring evening. These features were all nice but the best part of renting Casa Louisa was the personal service given to us by Shel, the property manager.
He contacted us prior to our arrival so he could personally greet us at the house. He made sure we were well acquainted with the place and was more than attentive when we called him with a leaky toilet. It was fixed immediately. This was truly a great spot to spend some vacation time with our older boys. He stopped by to see us on our departure as well. Great job Shel.
Thank You
I would highly recommend Last Key Realty and this property again.

Great Key West Cottage

5 of 5
Submitted: March 31, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
We had a wonderful week at Casa Louisa. It is on our favorite end of Duval and walking distance to everything. The house has great flow for a family of 6. (4 adults & 2kids). The home is clean and exactly as shown in the pictures. The backyard is wonderful and the heated pool was perfect for the kids. Shel did a great job. He met us at the property even though it was 6:30 on Saturday night and shared lots of information with us. We had one problem with the pool heat and he came right over to take care of it. He also came to say goodbye. Great service! We highly recommend Casa Louisa and will be going back.
