Photos and Description of the Key West vacation house rental
Large 4BR/3BA classic private conch home with large back yard & large pool.

'Casa Blanca 1888' has everything you could want for your stay in Old Town Key West. Its central location in historic Old Town at White Street and Truman Avenue means you will be just steps from the White Street art gallery district, restaurants, grocery stores, Yoga studios and the Coffee Mill. Its size and layout mean that no one will feel crowded. This historic two story home, built circa 1888, was renovated a few years ago and magically holds its historic appeal while feeling incredibly modern and comfortable inside.

THE LIVING AREA...

Fine cherry flooring compliments the original Dade County pine walls that you will find throughout this house. The 19th century is complimented by the 21st century in the kitchen, with custom cabinets, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances including a double door refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, glass top stove, microwave and garbage disposal. Every cooking utensil is provided to prepare gourmet feasts for a group and the breakfast bar is the perfect place to sit while watching someone else do the cooking.

If you decide not to go out on the town, you can always watch the 42 inch flat screen plasma TV with DVD/CD/Surround Sound. The dining table sits six comfortably. The step-down Florida room overlooks the gardens and pool. A full bathroom on the main floor features a shower and is convenient to use while enjoying the large heated pool and tropical gardens. There are 4 porches, upstairs and downstairs, so there’s plenty of personal space available.

THE POOL AREA...

The back yard has to be seen. In a town where any yard at all is a blessing, this home has a huge back yard and pool area. The pool is very large as well, with areas of sun and shade to keep everyone happy. There are two different dining areas and plenty of chaises. There is also a private outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach or pool.

THE ACCOMMODATIONS...

There are a total of four bedrooms and three bathrooms. All of the bedrooms are equipped with cable TV and DVD players. The first bedroom is on the main floor and has a queen bed. The master bedroom, with a king bed and in-suite bathroom, has double French doors that open to a private back deck. The third bedroom features a king bed. Lastly, the fourth bedroom has a queen bed and access to the front second story porch with seating. There is a hall bath for these two bedrooms with double sinks, granite cabinet tops, tub & shower.

We frequent key west at least 5 times a year this was the best place we have ever stayed. The home was immaculate the pool was so refreshing on a hot afternoon.
Bruce was great checked with us to see if everything was good. I would highly recommend staying at the white street house it is large enough that a whole family could stay there and not feel crowed.
thanks again to the whole team for making our stay wonderful

Another wonderful experience at 909 White Street

5 of 5
Submitted: December 5, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
This was our second stay at 909 White Street and this trip was every bit as enjoyable as our last. The house was wonderful and was exactly how we remembered it. This home has all of the modern conveniences that you could want, but it still has the historic, Old Town Key West charm. The house is somewhat centrally located between the beaches (both Smathers Beach and Higgs Beach) and downtown, which we really liked. There is a full service grocery store less than a block away and there are seafood markets and restaurants within easy walking distance. To top it all off, the property manager, Shel, was absolutely fantastic and was always available to answer any of our questions. We have stayed in other homes in Key West where the property manager meets you to get you settled in and then seems to vanish into thin air. This is NOT the case with Shel. He is on top of his game!

Overall we could not be happier with our stay. The house is perfect, it is in a great location and the management is top notch. This combination made for another great experience at this house and another unforgettable trip to Key West.
Owner's Response: We are gratified that our guests had such a great experience. Our goal is to spoil our guests for all other vacation homes, so they will come back again and again.

IF I OWNED A HOME.....

5 of 5
Submitted: September 22, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
This home is very warm and welcoming. The kitchen is over-stocked. EVERYTHING you could possibly need. Just bring the food. We found the living space enormous, and clean. Very tastefully decorated. Even got to love the DODO statue on the table. We stayed a month. My favorite.....the huge pool... "have to watch out for the falling coconuts". The pool was wonderful. Plenty of outdoor space to sit etc. Sheldon was great. When we called him ref washing machine, he came right over. Very obliging and friendly. We really liked him. The pool is only cleaned on Fridays, so we cleaned it everyday, and it was easy. Then we got the reward of jumping in. We also bought an extra lounging chair. We treated this home as if it was ours - Respected and enjoyed it. IF I OWNED A HOME. .....would love for it to be this one. To the owners: thank you for having us as your guests. BEST VACATION MY FAMILY AND I HAVE EVER HAD.

Submitted: August 20, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
The photos show different outdoor furniture than that provided which was not comfortable and not enough loungers, only 2 when we were a party of 6. Printer next to tv. not working. Safe upstairs but not available to guests. All rugs were in need of a clean and the first thing you see when you enter is the bannister that had chips out of the paintwork making it look tatty. The back yard was messy with boxes and equipment lying around. The pool guy came and it was lovely for a few hours but being surrounded by so many trees the pool was soon dirty again. Don't sit anywhere near the palms as you may get hit by the falling debris. The whole house was dark and the seating area in lounge was small, also having the washer and dryer in lounge area not very nice. I wouldn't recommend this property unless it had a complete refurbishment. Our contact Shel was lovely and very helpful. The best restaurant we went to was Louie's backyard on the coast, fantastic. Martins was the best on Duval St. Sammy's was great for snacks and just across Trueman. The house has a good location as you can walk straight down White street to the pier about 1 mile and you can walk down to Duval street too.
Owner's Response: We at Last Key Realty were very saddened to read the review posted by this guest. According to our most popular Guest Services Coordinator, Shel (read other reviews for the rave response to Shel's personality and service), these concerns were not voiced during the guests' stay - and had they been voiced they would have been addressed immediately. However, we appreciated the feedback posted on this review and we took the concerns very seriously. Following this review, the owner of the property invested heavily in addressing and resolving ALL of the issues listed that were able to be addressed. New chaise lounges were brought in, the carpets were all replaced or heavily cleaned, all necessary areas in the home were repainted, new lighting was placed in areas claimed to be "dark," and the pool area was cleaned up of all items and equipment that left this guest dissatisfied.

Although it is unfortunate that this guest chose to voice the concerns via this public forum rather than directly to us in order to resolve it, we always appreciate the feedback of our guests and take it very seriously. We urge potential guests at Casa Blanca 1888 to read through ALL of the reviews, and contact us directly to discuss this review so that we can assure you that all issues raised have been resolved.
