Great find in Key West; perfect location!
Review Submitted: June 6, 2009
Date of Stay: May 2009
It was our first time to Key West, and we stayed for 3 nights/4 days. We stayed in the back apartment, and loved every bit of the trip. The house is in a perfect location, walking distance to everywhere. The bike store next door was cheap and the folks there were helpful - bikes made it very easy to get anywhere on the island quickly. The place was spotlessly clean, had plenty of recommendations on what to do on the island, was in a quiet but convenient little part of the island, had a fully functioning kitchen (and all the necessary utensils, cooking gear, etc), the back porch provided all the privacy you'd need, and obviously the price was fantastic. Marilyn was amazing to work with - very responsive to any questions. I would definitely recommend to friends, and we will definitely be staying at Varela St. during our next Key West trip.
We got in some snorkeling (Reef Express...two reef trips in the same time as many places get one trip), some guided kayaking touring (the guided part is critical...very knowledgeable and friendly folks at Lazy Dog), plenty of beaches nearby (visiting the Fort Zach Taylor park is a must), lots of bike riding, etc. In the end, our favorite place to eat was probably Kim’s Cuban (tiny little place with delicious breakfast and lunch). Good times all around.
