a week exploring the keys
Absolutely impressed with Horse Conch property. The location was perfect. Parking was no problem at all. The pool and garden area are like a private tropical resort. The only issue was the comfort of the pull out sofa bed. This could benefit from an upgrade to ensure all guests comfort.

first time visiting key west
First time to Key West and we glad we picked Horse Conch to stay at. Everything was as described and hosts were very proactive to make sure our stay was going smoothly. Everything we needed was available and the place was well taken care of and very clean. The backyard pool and pool area was awesome. Very peaceful and secluded. Glad we chose Horse Conch and would highly recommend staying here.

great experience
The wife and I had a great 5 night stay at the Horse Conch. It was clean and had plenty of room for the two of us. We enjoyed afternoon swims in the pool after a day exploring Old Town. The location was easily within walking distance to our favorite Key West shops, restaurants, and entertainment!

perfect rental for our december stay
We stayed three nights (2 adults and a 1 year old) and the location and unit could not have been better. Everything was clean and nicely updated, and we were close to Duval but escaped the noise. The folks at Key West Vacation Rentals were also super friendly and accommodating. Would definitely rent from them again!

just as pictured
I stayed in one of the upstairs apartments and it was just as pretty as the pictures. Sparkly clean with nice decor, comfy and quiet although it’s 2 blocks from Duval St. The backyard is paradise and I had the pool to myself. I walked to the pier and along the docks the first night. On day 2 the apt mgr had a bike delivered and that was even better. I biked to my boat tour an.d Ft Zachary beach and shopping and threw towel and gifts in the bicycle basket. Now my brother and cousins want to stay in the Conch house too. The only downside is the inconvenience of picking up and dropping off keys at their office which is a mile away and in a commercial area with very little to walk to. They have absolutely no flexibility with checkout time so I had 4 hours to kill between dropping off my keys and ubering out to my flight.
Other than that I’d recommend it.

It sounds like you had a lovely time at Horse Conch and we thank you for taking the time to review!
We do have check in and out at the office (as well as luggage storage so you don't have to carry your stuff around with you) because we like being accessible to our guests; we have a large staff that is already in place for cleaning and maintenance so a late check out is rarely an option. We utilize every minute to keep our properties up to our high standards!
We hope you'll come and stay with us again soon!

serene tropical bungalow, walking distance to key west fun!
Horse Conch is a clean, well-maintained 2-story Key West bungalow featuring a clear refreshing pool surrounded by tropical luxury. We stayed upstairs in the 1B/1B apartment with a nicely equipped kitchen, cool a/c and comfortable bed. A simple 5-minute walk for Cuban Queen Coffee and Duval St. or a 10 minute walk to Mallory Square all while nestled in a neighborhood of quiet serenity made this location ideal. Moondog Cafe for lunch & key lime pie, waterside cocktails upstairs at Schooner's Wharf bar and dinner at La Trattoria were a few of our favorites. Don't miss Bruschetta Francesca, authentic Italian near the Truman White House! Thank you Historic Key West Vacation Rentals for your attention to detail and good customer service!

spring getaway!!
We just wanted to let you know what a positive experience we had renting at Horse Conch in Key West through your agency. From start to finish, the process was exceptional, all the great information that you sent and the home was exactly what we had hoped for and we look forward to returning again soon! In the past we have stayed in hotels when we visited the Keys but we especially enjoyed the full kitchen and the swimming pool was one of our favorite features! Everyone that stayed in the adjoining units was very friendly and we couldn't have asked for a better getaway! We will be dreaming of our cup of tea on the back porch of Horse Conch until warm weather reaches us in PA!
All our thanks to you all for a wonderful stay in Key West!

From check in to check out, Staff were vey welcoming and helpful. It was a perfect location to all the main attractions. we rented a bike for the week and this was perfect for all locations on the island. The pool area was very well maintained . The unit was very clean and well kept. The only suggestions I have for this place is an updated bed and a tv for the bedroom. My husband and I definitely enjoyed our stay and can’t wait for our next visit to Key West!

amazing visit-highly recommend
We are so happy we went with and booked through Historic Key West Vacation Rentals. The Horse Conch apartment was the perfect spot for our honeymoon! We were close to Duval Street where all the fun is AND it has an almost private pool. The apartment was beautifully furnished and provided everything we needed for a week stay. Cindy Carter who works in the office, was SO hospitable and made our stay even better. She helped to schedule amazing activities with Fury Water Adventures and a seaplane trip to Dry Tortugas. I've shared this place with at least 3 people planning their trip to Key West. This place and experience is worth it! We will use Historic Key West Vacation Rentals again!!!

horsing around at the horse conch
We love this place! It was like going home - we used to stay here when it was a Guest House back in the 90’s! The rooms are comfortable and nicely appointed. The pool is HUGE and with only 3 units in the building, there was a lot of alone time around it! The staff at Historic Key West Vacation Rentals was ON IT! It turns out that the mattress was in bad shape and with one phone call we had a brand new mattress the next day! We also suggested lights along a side walkway to the house and once again, the next day they were installed. Kudos for sure! The location is perfect - a little more than a block off of Duval which made it very convenient to get to all the excitement BUT far enough that the property was still very quiet. We would definitely stay here again! Peace

winter getaway
Horse Conch was the best location for our 4 days in Key West. We walked or biked anywhere we wanted to go all week. It is on a fairly quiet street 1.5 blocks off Duval St. The pool shared with he 2 other units was a dream come true and heated to a perfect temp for late January. The property company was easy to work with and responsive to any questions. They also have a concierge on staff who booked our bike rental for the week and a seaplane adventure. It was so easy, and both were top quality!

The location is perfect! Quiet but close enough to anything you need and want to see. The pool was the highlight of the property and we spent most afternoons in it. Very clean. No bugs. The bed leave a bit to be desired but we still slept pretty well and got the rest we needed for a relaxing vacation.

horse conch visit
Our time in Key West was perfect. The apartment was in a great location and had everything we needed to be comfortable during our stay. The pool was wonderful especially during spots of rain. Parking was a bit of a nightmare given how close to Duval street the unit is, however, pro tip, we rented a scooter from sunshine scooters and they allowed us to keep our rental car at their lot no extra charge, and there is plenty of scooter parking outside the front of the rental property. Overall, the unit was in good shape and we only had one minor issue with an A/C unit during our stay, and a maintenance team along with the property manager arrived within an hour to assist us. We look forward to staying in the future and would recommend this unit.
