Susan's Condo is a fantastic place for a Key West get-away! The location is fantastic. Close to Duval Street, Zachary Taylor Beach, great restaurants and city sights. Plus, the bikes that are included with the condo give you the flexibility to get anywhere in Key West. Working with Susan was a delight. Everything was as promised and the property is exactly as described.

Our family, two adults and two teens, visited Susan's Key West Condo in November and thoroughly enjoyed all the condo had to offer. It was so well equipped with anything we needed. We did a few meals there including using the electric grill which worked great.

The view from the back deck is beautiful and as described. We took full advantage of the family beach pass and visited the beautiful Fort Zachary Taylor many times during our visit. It was great to be able to just pop into the park for sunset. And the bikes for guests use are great.

I would like to commend the owner of this condo for being so quick to respond to my initial inquiry on the condo and all other questions or emails that I sent to her. I really appreciated that.
We were so happy with our choice to stay in this condo and would absolutely stay again and recommend to friends.

Owner's Response: Thank you for bringing your whole family to Key West Shell! I bet you enjoyed having warm ocean water to swim! I love Maine Lobster but only wish I could stay in the water for more than thirty seconds.
So happy you loved Key West and the condo!

We can't say enough about our stay at Susan's Key West Condo! Susan took care of every detail for us to have an unbelievable 25th anniversary celebration! The condo is lovely. It is close to everything in beautiful Truman Annex with a fantastic view right out the master bedroom door! The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. We went to the pool everyday and used our pass to the beach that is almost in the backyard! There is no need for a car when you stay here, we went everywhere on the great bikes (with baskets!) Saved on taking the city bus a block away to the airport for $2.00 instead of taking a cab. We have recommended this condo to everyone we have talked to. We have never stayed anywhere where we have received this kind of care! Thank you so much Susan for making this the best trip we have ever had! We can't wait to come back!

Susan is one heck of a hostess and "gets it" when it comes to helping you plan your stay in Key West. We knew exactly what to expect, the best way to get to the condo, directives for checking in, local ammenities, and sights to see. There were absolutely no surprises which made for an enjoyable and stress free orientation and move in. The condo was impeccably clean and so comfortable. Views from the back deck were glorious whether watching a sunrise, sunset, Coast Guard ships go in and out to sea, or cruise ship dockings. We poured over her Blue Notebook on the coffee table and loved her recommendations and comments. The pool was very peaceful and quiet....great for reading or just chillaxing and the Shipyard grounds are absolutely lush and well kept. Beach pass to Fort Zachary Taylor Park was a great bonus as was the availability of having two bicycles at our disposal. So close to Duval Street and all of the shops, restaurants and activities. We were able to relax in peace and quietude or venture to Duval Street when we felt like kicking it up a notch. Blue Heaven, Santiago Bodega, Latitudes at Sunset Key, Croissants du France all wonderful restaurants. Louie's Backyard so-so .. pricey and wait staff did not seem overly thrilled that we were there. Breakfasts at Harpoon Harry's and Pepe's were perfect for biking to and from and meals were delicious and atmosphere at both fun and unique. Thoroughly enjoyed atmoshere at Jack's on Duval for good meal, great service, and nice flat screens for checking in on college football scores. Dante's was a great place for lunch and we loved people watching and the fishing excursion boats. PraNa Spa is one block away and I can honestly say that it was by far THE best massage we have ever had anyplace on vacation. Heck, we even got a few grins each morning with the early wake up call from the friendly backyard rooster. Susan even has a "Karma" chest with extras left behind by previous guests like grooming supplies, playing cards, ponchos , etc. as a "pay it forward." SusansKeyWestCondo is just like Susan.... friendly and a breath of fresh air. What I wouldn't do to be sitting on the back deck right now with a glass of wine, a good book and the sun in my face. Ahhh

No Surprises

No surprises. Everything went according to the plan. Susan's directions and instructions were flawless. The location of this property was perfect. The condo was very comfortable. We used the bikes everyday and never moved the car all week. We rented a third bike for our daughter from Recycled Bikes $55 for the whole week. They delivered and picked up the bike. They came with a new bike 15 min. after my daughter got a flat tire. We loved the beach the pass was great. We went snorking, parasailing. The pool was nice, too bad it closed so early in the evening. The week went by too fast. Now back to the heat of Chicago.

Key West Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: June 26, 2010 Stayed: June 2010
Key West is definitely a change from rural PA... From the crazy sights on Duval street to the wild chickens and little lizards. The beaches are amazing! Defintely a beautiful tropical upgrade from the overcrowded Jersey beaches! It was so nice to bike everywhere. There is lots to do and see. Fort Zachary beach/park was our favorite! It was a beautiful and a great way to spend the day (thanks for the beach pass!) The Dry Tortugas and Fort Jefferson are a must do! It is the the most beautiful and perfect place we have ever seen. The water was so blue and the snorkeling was exciting! A perfect place literally in the middle of nowhere. We don't want to leave this tropical getaway but we really miss our cats...

Thanks so much!

2 weeks in paradise!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 15, 2010 Stayed: January 2010
Thank goodness we rented this condo for 2 weeks as there were record low temps this February in Key West. No swimming but none of us cared. We had 2 balconies, 2 bikes, free passes to the state park in our back yard, Eco center also in back yard for our one rainy hour....we were on the go every day. Most mornings we'd watch the cruise ships pull into port right from the back balcony or take a walk out back to the pier. The back balcony was in full sun most of the day so that was also our main lunch/happy hour location. It was the warmest spot in Key West! We could leave the French doors open to the balcony and pretend we were out in the sun even though the temps were not cooperating. Anything we did in town was just a short walk from the condo and the bikes helped us explore the rest of the island without having to move the car. We used the park pass daily...sometimes 2 or 3 times. We'd go for a picnic lunch and then we'd go back at night for a crowd free sunset. Two cold weeks in Key West for 4 adults could have been a problem but not here ....we were sorry we had to leave. Thanks Susan and Bruce...we love Key West more than ever!

Great location - close to everything but quiet.Nicely equipped - we used everything from the washer and dryer to the margarita glasses. We especially enjoyed the front and back porches, bicycles, and state park pass. There are many good places to eat within walking or riding distance including Crossaints de France for take out breakfasts. When we come back to Key West, we will definitely stay here.
