another wonderful experience with hkw rental
This rental service provides professional, responsive, informative service every time. Our home away from home was clean and stocked with exactly what they promised. Location was great and every staff/service person we encountered was courteous. Highly recommended.
Location was perfect.
This particular house is a bit noisy inside...due to few rugs, lack of insulation, and other design/structural aspects. We had 6 adults so it was tolerable but glad we didn’t have kids to put down for naps/bed. ;)

christmas family week at key west - 2023
Wow, what a great rental in paradise. All previous reviews are spot on, great rental with no surprises. All the standard stuff you expect to be great is. Plus some personal peeves I have with older properties were non-existent. For example, all sink drains...drained. The propane grill had propane and was cared for and set up for proper use. The ignitor worked. The pool was indeed properly heated. Our air temp during the day was low to mid 70's...the pool was 94 --- so, so comfy. Plenty of pool towels, Ice machine worked great. On street parting was no problem, two great restaurants (Mangia Mangia and Bob's on Margaret) right next door. And so on...
In short super property and super responsive guest focused rental management company.

great house in quiet location
We had a great time - house is close enough to walk to most things or take the free air conditioned bus for the rest. Great Italian on the corner and plenty of other delicious restaurants/cafes within a couple of blocks. A/C works great and each room has its own unit - beds were comfortable; bed linens were not the best. And in classic Key West style, there is a rooster who walks the neighborhood each morning doing his patrol! We did bring our own pool Floats and outdoor speaker and did not see that the home had either.

chavez house perfection!
For our first visit to Key West, we had originally booked a resort on Mallory Square. However, after stumbling across the Historic Key West Vacation Rentals website, we changed our plans--and we're so glad we did! Chavez House was our own private oasis. The house is beautifully renovated with so much charm and character and cozy comfort. With two teenagers, we appreciated having multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, and the location is perfect for quick bike rides to just about everywhere. We absolutely loved the plunge pool and lush tropical landscaping of the private backyard. The rental company was amazing to work with and pretty much anticipated our needs before we did. So professional and accommodating. Truly, a dream getaway!

The home was perfect for our family of 6. It was cozy yet roomy enough for everyone to be together or go off to their quiet spots for alone time. The home has been beautifully restored while keeping the key west charm. We loved our outdoor living space and the landscaping made it so private. The Managenent staff was super welcoming and responsive. We definitely want to stay here again!!!!

quiet residential neighborhood but convenient to attractions
We had a relaxing time, but there were many little annoyances in this house. For example, bathroom doors were warped and did not completely close, shower handle was loose in one bathroom and had to have maintenance to come and fix it. There were no mirrors in upstairs bedrooms and only small one in bathroom, kitchen faucet was improperly installed so it was tricky to get cold water. Another thing was that there is a louver window in upstairs bedroom which overlooked the stairs so that all sounds coming from that room were broadcast throughout the house.

chavez house review february 2023
The check-in process was extremely easy, efficient and friendly. The home was in great shape upon arrival, clean, tidy and great location. We would definitely stay here again, it was far enough off Duval to have peace and quiet, yet close enough to the action. Landscaping was excellent, outside of residence well kept. Property description was very accurate, the amenities within the home were excellent, light switches could use better labeling, but overall well maintained. Property Management was in constant contact to see if we needed anything, for the home or concierge services - which was nice!

This house was perfect for us for my son’s wedding! We had lots of “stuff” for the wedding and there was plenty of room to store until needed. Wish I had more time to play in the pool! Bed was very comfortable. Kitchen was very large. It was very clean. Customer service was very prompt when one of the smoke alarms was beeping. Parking is always a challenge which we were prepared for. We also had a golf cart which was extremely convenient. We were on a quieter residential street so noise wasn’t a factor at all. I would definitely rent again!

The house was more breathtaking in person! It was the perfect amount of space for the three couples that were in our group. The pool was amazing; everything was amazing. It was nice that the basics were provided, like towels, which take up way too much room in luggage! Only a couple of blocks from bike rental, food, drinks, and the main street. Will definitely come back here, especially with the available and helpful rental management staff.

The Chavez House was wonderful. Fully remodeled with great amenities. The rental company was very attentive and friendly. We had a problem with the AC when we first got there. They were on the problem immediately.
The pool was a very nice addition. It is very small but certainly gets the job done and is a wonderful backdrop while sitting around the backyard.
The house is located on a quiet side street but is a couple of minutes from Duval Street and the marina.

Wonderful historic home in a perfect central location in KW. It's ideal for a peaceful getaway with easy access to great restaurants and things to do - check out Cuban Coffee Queen in the morning, have lunch at Eaton Fish Market, and ride your bike all over until it is time for a cooling dip in the just-right pool. Go see the sunset at Mallory Square and pick any of the bars or restaurants in the island for a fun night out.

Beautiful property in a wonderful location. Sleeps 6 but perfect for 2 or 4.Beautifully presented with all needs catered for.

We had a very good experience. I will give all the categories a 5 with a couple of asterisks: The lack of parking was disappointing. However, we managed. We were unable to get the television in the living room to work. Our children are "tech" savvy and they too couldn't help. We called and left a message but never got a reply. Not a big deal. Overall, an excellent stay. A lovely place!

key west with a historical twist.
We came to the keys with two other couples. The house was great. An old historical home with lots of charm but with all the modern updates you need. The back deck with its large grill where great for a summer night of catching up with friends. While located on one of the quieter streets, the house is close enough to walk to museums, the square or the historical grave yard.
