Petite Maison - Nightly Rental

Everything about the property was amazing except for one thing. Sometimes that one thing is the thing that makes the review important. The property was clean, well stocked and well located. The management company was fantastic on every level. The negative point on the property is that the wall that is at the back of the house, toward the poolside, is not insulated or just too thin. In the back bedroom (the bedroom with the washer/dryer in the bathroom) we could hear and understand every word spoken by renters in the Grand Maison, who had use of the pool. They were not loud or rude, but the wall is insulated so poorly that if you are going to sleep it is impossible if anyone is speaking, even at a normal level, at the poolside. We were very disappointed about this and it was definitely a point to consider when renting. I would definitely point this out to anyone that I would recommend the property to in the future, and I am not sure I would rent just the smaller house again, but would definitely rent the larger unit.

Petite Maison is a charming cottage located just off Duval. Close to the action, but tucked away, so it's also quiet. A perfect combination for my trip with the family. Conveniently close to a variety of restaurants. (I highly recommend heading to Banana Caf for a delightful breakfast - it's a very short walk from Petite Maison). This property was spotless and comfortable. The property manager was extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to go back.

This was our first trip to Key West & we loved staying in Petite Maison. The location is perfect & we were able to walk everywhere. Danny was great to work with & super helpful. The house itself is so cute & had everything my family of four needed. We enjoyed our visit so much & staying at Petite Maison was a big part of that.

What a wonderful surprise to find this home in the historic area. Completely remodeled with excellent choices. The home and all its amenities could not have been better. We would recommend and would rent it again if we return to Key West.

Nice place to stay. 2 points to make. 1st is about the recycle didn't realize the front house also used the same bins as our unit. They filled up the bin and then put the rest on the ground beside the bin. We had to put ours in a neighbors bin. With the strict rules didn't want to get blamed for something we didn't do. 2nd thing. When the people came to the front house the water pump ran for there pool or something but could hear it in our bedroom. One night it was on until after 10 p.m. very annoying if your are trying to sleep. Other than these two minor things everything was great.

This was our fourth trip to KW, and first time at this property. The location was great. We didn't even rent bikes this time; just walked a LOT; up and down Duval and Whitehead. Beds were very comfortable and black-out shades allowed us to sleep in later than usual. We didn't try to cook in the small kitchen; utensils and equipment were minimal, But that wasn't a problem for us. So many good restaurants in KW! we'll definitely consider Petite Maison again for our next visit.

We visited Key West in January and stayed at Petite Maison. The house was beautiful and the location can't be beat.

This was a perfectly located rental home. Beautifully decorated,clean. The only thing we were disappointed in was the misunderstanding of the pool. We thought we had access so that was a bit disappointing but otherwise it was beautiful

We loved this little house; it was just adorable. It was very clean and the furnishings were nice. We enjoyed sitting on the porch every evening. The management company was very nice and easy to work with, and we had a wonderful time during our stay.

Two things you should be aware of when renting: first, neither taxis nor pizza delivery people can find the place, even if you give them complete directions. There is another Thompson Lane in Key West, and most navigation systems will lead them there. We ended up having to meet all taxis and delivery people on Duval Street after they gave up looking for us. The nice neighbor who lives across the street told us she always had the same problem. Second, we planned to cook most of our dinners while we were there. The kitchen is really lacking in supplies. There are nice pots and pans and a at least one casserole dish, but it would be nice to have at least one serving bowl, more utensils, a set of knives, some cooking trays, etc. The table in the kitchen is ok for two, but since there were four of us, we had to move it out to the living area and drew up extra chairs. It was a little tight, but we made it work. Of course, if you're planning on eating out most meals, this will not affect you.

Overall, this was a great little place for a getaway, and we have fond memories of our trip.

Management company accommodated our needs swiftly and efficiently. The home was well equipped, spotlessly clean,nicely furnished, great linens, pillows and towels. Quiet location, just a short walk to Duval St. Great second story deck in the trees and private. Hats off to Phil the property manager! Only thing missing was wine glasses??

12 Thompson Lane was the perfect retreat from New York City. The place was designed with a creative eye and representative of Key West's chic beach aesthetic. Checking in was a breeze and it was clear from day 1 that Historic Key West Vacation Rentals was available for anything my friends and I may have needed during our stay. Close to Zach Taylor beach, close to Hemingway House, spitting distance from Southernmost Point. Some may feel that the location is a bit removed from the wild nightlife of Duval St. and Mallory Square, but I found that to be a blessing. It did take a few minutes to walk to the action but it felt great to get away from it once the night was done. I would recommend this place and stay with this company again in a heartbeat.

The cottage is brand new and settled with a lot of taste. It was absolutely spotless when we got in, even after rushing the cleaning team because we arrived earlier. To be noticed AC and fans work in an excellent combination, more than needed.
Perfect location : almost on Duval st (actually 1 house far from Duval) and not in the noisiest part of it : north end of Duval is at 20 mm walk and 5 mm from the southernmost point.
Warm welcome at the rental office : Philip, the concierge, is very available and helpful.
Everything went smooth and nicely.
Definitely a way better experience than some pricy hotel rooms.
The best you can find for the price.
