wonderful house!
The house is perfect! It’s very clean and has everything you need. The kitchen is fully stocked with plates, glasses, etc. The bathroom had a nice shower and plenty of towels. We love the location! We parked our car and never used it. You can walk everywhere. The backyard is amazing. The pool is beautiful. We swam every day and loved sitting in the yard relaxing. We will be back.

poolside cutie!!
This was an awesome little spot to stay. I would definitely book it again when I head to the Keys. I live in Florida and this place was great because I had a place to park my Mercedes which I was worried about being on the street. The cottage was very clean the only thing for us, we could have used a few more towels, "women" ! I have already told several friends about this spot!

casablanca was a great little casa
This little place is a little gem. The location was really nice. The street is a little busy but overall is a quiet location away from all the tourists. Parking is a huge plus even if you don’t have a car, since it gives you dedicated parking for your scooters or golf cart. And the private pool was absolutely lovely!!
The only big concern and annoyance were the ants in the kitchen. They were extremely annoying. We didn’t use the kitchen for cooking but you couldn’t set anything on the counter without bringing out the herds of ants.
The house does lack some charm with little to non of decor to bring the key west vibe to your stay.
But the management office was fantastic! The ladies in the office were so welcoming and great. And the ability to leave bags there before check in and after check out was extremely helpful!
We would definitely stay here again or in one of this management companies other properties, on our next visit to fabulous Key West!

Marlo,we appreciate the review of Casablanca. Yes, the ants are a bother and that is why we say please do not leave any food out. That is part of island life along with the lizards and chickens! But the pool and patio area is great and the parking space is a nice addition. Key West has so much to do and see and there are adventures around every corner!!

Our first visit to Key West, and this place was amazing - better in person than in photos and description. Clean, private, well-stocked, great location, quiet neighborhood. And the private pool was terrific. Next trip to Key West, we're coming back to this place. The check-in/check-out process was streamlined, and the property manager was very professional, communicative and responsive. Awesome place overall.

so happy we went
I was a little worried about going due to a recent broken ankle. I was afraid the hassle wasn't going to be worth it and I was so wrong. The house was perfect, no stairs and the pool was a perfect temperature for physical therapy. Convenience Stores are close by and it was a very short drive to the beach and shopping. We will defiantly be returning when we can ride bikes and enjoy the beautiful beaches. Having our own parking spot was a definite benefit.

perfect couple retreat
This is a awesome place for a couple. You are in a quiet part of old town, many blocks from Duval. If you want to be in the center of things, this isn’t it. If you want a nice place with an awesome oasis of a pool... this is your place! Nice living room with big TV/cable. WiFi worked well, dinning area seats 4, and the kitchen is well equipped. The place was very clean. The bedroom has a king size bed, small closet and the bathroom is right off that. Bathroom is fine, could use an exhaust fan... French doors off the bedroom goes out to a patio with table and chairs, and there are a few chaise lounge chairs around the pool. The whole back pool area is fenced and planted for privacy... it’s awesome! I also used the concierge service to get rental bikes, booked a sunset cruise and great dinner and breakfast recommendations!

great location, cottage, pool, and privacy!
This was our first private booking for a vacation rental. We made the booking last year in hopes of being able to travel this year. It turned out to be the best vacation we have taken in years! The cottage was perfect for the two of us and the privacy was spectacular! The rental office staff was extremely helpful and responded quickly to any concerns we had. Shortly after we arrived, we mentioned that the pots and pans were not very good and they brought out a whole new set for us! Wow, that’s service. I can not stress enough how nice and private the backyard and pool is. It is very lovely being able to enjoy an evening swim after a long day of sightseeing and activities. The private parking for this property was also a true blessing as Key West parking can be a real challenge. We can highly recommend this property and management company without reservation.

We loved staying in this little cottage for a month. We brought our bikes with us and never moved our car once we unpacked. The private pool area and fenced in yard are fantastic. This cottage is small with very little storage. But the patio makes up for it. It was nice having our own grill. Great location close to several restaurants. Fresh Co, Mangia Mangia, Conch Republic to name a few. Key West is the Best!!

wonderful! but storage needs for 28 days, though
We've stayed at 817A and 817B many times, and will again in 2021. Either one is perfect for a couple, with the only bath off the bedroom. Well-maintained, with off-street parking, washer & dryers, & in a great neighborhood.
The properties are 28 day min rentals going forward, but recent furniture updates to 817A don't seem to have considered that. (no dresser now, new night stands without drawers or shelves, bed so low one can't fit shoes or collapsed luggage underneath) We managed & as I mentioned in my opening, this disappointment is not enough to prevent us from renting either side of this great property.

We just spent a glorious week in Key West at the Casablanca property...our third consecutive year at this wonderful bungalow. From the reservation process to check-in to the cleanliness and readiness of the property and even the ease of check-out, we loved everything. The local grocery store (Faustos Food Palace) is just a few blocks away and the liquor store is even closer. The pool is 98% secluded...and we did not care about the other 2%. Your neighbors in Casablanca Too have a hot tub, so don't be shy about making friends and trading amenities. An Uber to Duval in the evening runs about $10 and a taxi ride back will go for $8. Many thanks to Historic Key West Vacation Rentals for a terrific week!

Lazy mornings spent watching Key West wake up on the authentic cottage porch, afternoons consisted of reading with a periodic refreshing plunge in the turquoise, heated pool and evenings winded down strolling to dinner under the stars in the tropical breezes.

perfection...now!
We moved in from Poinciana, the cleaning team moved all our luggage and food from there to Casablanca, how nice! Thanx management team! We walk in and it is so light, bright and clean! Absolutely true to it's pictures, spacious and well appointed. Just unpack and jump in the pool. One thing we noticed was that it was really dark in the back once the sun went down. The only light that worked was bright fluorescent lights above the door. THEN we noticed uplights in among all the tree's and a pool light but we couldn't get them on. The management team called in electricians and within a day we had beautiful uplighting AND a light in the pool. Looked sooo pretty! The only thing I would suggest is perhaps some more uplighting or twinkle lighting around the umbrella seating area as it is still pretty dark unless you want the spotlight florescents on you. The show stopper was the pool, though, how fabulous to hang out with a nice cocktail and lay by the pool, reading a book, playing some cards and jumping in when it gets too hot. The only downside is that you are not walking distance to Duval but we didn't mind that trade off, got to see the other side of KW/Old Town.

Casablanca was perfect in every way:

2. PRIVACY: The back felt like you were in your own oasis. The front porch was a perfect spot to people watch. It felt like home.
3. EXCELLENT MANAGEMENT. The staff made this trip smooth from beginning to end. They were incredibly efficient. No stress on my end:)
The kitchen came staffed with whatever you would need.
The neighborhood is quiet.
We found a few restarants, liquor stores and convience stores all within walking distance. Anything else required a taxi and they showed up pretty fast.

You can sit on the porch and people watch, enjoy the sun & pool in the backyard (even have a cookout), or lounge in the comfortable living room. There are several restaurants and shops within a short walking distance, but you're close enough to bike or walk to Duval St if you want more hustle and bustle. My only complaint would be the bed is a bit squeaky.

Clean and comfortable.Pretty basic but private pool area is nice. Beware, there's one tiny bath which has a partial glass door and is attached to the master bath. Very awkward if you have guests on the pull out couch as I did. Also, there is a surprising charge from VBRO added on to the bill for nothing. Will not rent with VBRO again.
