Petite Maison - Nightly Rental

We enjoyed our stay at Petite Maison very much. Carol and the other ladies at Key West Vac rentals were super nice. They texted prior to our arrival as well as once we checked in to make sure everything was ok. The house itself was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The location is a block and a half away from the southernmost buoy but we still walked wherever or rode the bus that does the Duval Loop. Would definitely recommend Key West Vacation Rentals as well as staying at the Petite Maison.

Cozy for a small gathering of friends, close to everything Key West has to offer. I would book here again.

Fantastic. The house was perfect for us! Two couples who were looking for great sleeping space and great living/patio space. This was perfect!!

Manager's Response

We had such a nice time in Petite Maison, it was more than expected. The house was just the right size, immaculately clean, great location just 1/2 block off Duval, we couldn’t have asked for better. Loved this place and will definitely be back here, the pool was a nice extra to cool off in after a day on Duval. The customer service from Historic Key West vacation rentals was superb every step of the way, you will love this place.

WE had a wonderful time. Upon arrival to Historic Key West Vacation Rentals we were greeted at the door, helped with our luggage, given bottles of water and allowed to change and store luggage as we arrived early before check in. We rented Petite Maison and it was perfect. Clean, quick access to everything we wanted and far enough away from any nightly noises from Duval which is what we wanted. Great customer service, communication throughout the experience. I would highly recommend going through HKWVR and if you want a two bedroom place to stay , consider Petite Maison. The upstairs porch was where we spent the most time.

Manager's Response

Petite Maison was spotless, cute and comfortable. We loved our stay especially sitting on the porch. It sits just behind Duval street it was quiet and relaxing. Communication with Historic Key West Rental was top notch. We would definitely rent again! We would recommend The Black Fin and Banana Cafe for dinner great food and service!

Manager's Response

Loved our stay at Petite Maison. We walked to everything and coffee/breakfast was a quick walk with 3 great choices. Wish we’d had more time there to explore.

Manager's Response

Last minute trip booked in Key West and we Stayed right off Duval street in a wonderful home. Perfect size for 4 people. Had all the amenities we needed. Comfy beds, spacious living room and great outside covered deck. Don’t hesitate to book with Key West Vacation Rentals. Make sure you make reservations for dinner. Favorite place to eat was First Flight with La Trattoria in a close second. We will definitely be back.

Manager's Response

The home was immaculate and fresh. Nicely appointed. Located very well - near Duval but not the noisy side. The staff at Key West Vacation Rentals were amazing. I have been coming to Key West for 40 years but they were able to make recommendations about what closed or opened during COVID, suggestions that fit the vibe we were looking for and checked on us. They were really exceptional!

Manager's Response

Spent 3 nights here with another couple. We enjoyed the stay. Everything was within walking distance. Very nice to come back to the house and enjoy a cocktail on the balcony.

Manager's Response

Beautiful place, great location, responsive staff.

Manager's Response

We had a great stay and loved Petite Maison! The house was spotless, had everything we needed, and the location at the quiet end of Duval St was perfect. Susan at HKWVR was so kind and helpful. We didn't want to leave and hope to return soon!

Manager's Response

This was a great place to rent! Very clean and all the amenities. Great location/ just a walk to restaurants and the butterfly garden and beach.

Manager's Response

My only issue was the key situation. Having to go to different location to pick up the key and then drop it off. A lock box at the property would be much better.

Manager's Response

Petite Maison was better than described and depicted in the photos!

Manager's Response

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and very well appointed and comfortable. We hung out on the covered porch. Just steps away from Duval Street. Walking distance to lots of great restaurants. Management staff was great to work with. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Manager's Response

The rental process was easy, friendly and enjoyable. Petite Maison was well appointed, absolutely immaculate and extremely comfortable. Plenty of hot water, comfy beds and a parking spot! Perfect for anyone who wants to be near the action but keep the quiet a friendliness of a residential neighborhood. <5 min walk to every sunrise and the best Cuban coffee! Say hello to our friends at the French bistro across the street

Manager's Response

We had a great after Christmas week in Key West and this house really helped make the stay great. Perfect location and very nice amenities.

Manager's Response

The petite mason was a great place to stay, right off of Duval street, within walking distance to everything, we spent a lot of time up on the patio. Had a hard time finding it at first because there are two different roads named “Thompson Ln” but I definitely recommend. The people I talked to that rented me the place were super nice and professional too.

Manager's Response

wonderful

When we initially booked with Historic Key West Rental, the process was cumbersome and required a significant amount of paperwork and signatures. I know this because my husband and I travel a lot and this process felt like you were signing your name in blood. I say this to help the next person not make the same mistake I did. Trying to finish the never ending booking process, I overlooked the offer of travel insurance not realizing unless there are mandatory evacuations in the area, your will not receive any type of refund. We lost over 1500.00 dollars so please don’t make the same mistake. We were staying at Cheeca Lodge as well and they were gracious enough to refund our money due to Tropicsl Storm Eta. Also if you do not accept their 59.00 property damage insurance they will charge your credit card 3,000 dollars. It stated the cc would be charged 10-14 days prior to arrival but we were charged the following day. Based on this experience and really not any fault but my own, when we plan our first trip to the Keys under better circumstances, I will definitely not be using these folks.

I can't say enough good things about the house and the staff at Historic Key West Rentals.
Great location but quiet as well. The house is even better than the photos and well equipped. I have a vacation rental as well and love it when I stay at a property that does it right. This one certainly does all of that. Check in was easy and they will help you with any bookings that you might want during your stay.
I highly recommend this property and would stay here again.

We loved our vacation home in Key West. It was perfect for 2 couples. Comfortable and sparkly clean. It's close to everything. We had a great time.

Manager's Response

The Petit Maison was perfect for our needs. We were two couples, who aren’t big on resort style travel. We loved sitting on the balcony in the morning to have our coffee. The size, style and price was on point as well. Being literally steps off of Duval allowed us to walk to restaurants, shops and bars. The place was clean and well stocked with the essentials. I just wish we’d had access to the pool. We will consider staying at Petit Maison again and again.

$ of us stayed on the Petite Maison. The accommodations where perfect for our stay and the outside deck perfect.

Great place to stay! Place was clean and staff very helpful and professional. Will definitely go back!

Manager's Response

Stay was good but I recommend getting a place closer to Malory Square with a pool. Our 2 short hair dogs were allowed but only with expensive non refundable charge. Considering we took out damage insurance I thought it excessive. Management was very helpful. Maintenance took care of an electrical issue we had within minutes

Manager's Response

Petite Maison was the perfect accommodation for two active couples. The house is clean and comfortable with modern facilities. We loved its location near south Duval St. Far enough away from the commotion of the bar scene yet an easy walk to get there and enjoy it. The management staff were very helpful during the check in/out process to accommodate our travel schedule and to maximize our Key West experience.

Manager's Response

We had a great stay at Petite Maison in May. Since we were arriving late, arrangements were made to accommodate us & so check in was fast & uncomplicated. Petite Maison was beautiful & clean. I loved the decor! And just the right size for the 3 of us, plenty of room. We loved the upstairs porch! So relaxing in the evenings. We especially loved the location! Thru a short alley & you are on Duval Street. This was so convenient & we liked the fact that it was located on the quieter, less busy end of Duval Street. Be sure & check out Banana Cafe - delicious breakfast, reasonable priced. And also step into Alan S Maltz Gallery located behind Petite Maison on Duval Street. Beautiful photographs! Mr Maltz designated the official wildlife and fine art photographer for the State of Floida has the perfect Key West remembrance/souvenir. I bought some beautiful photographs & note cards!
My highest recommendation is that on my next visit to Key West I hope to be staying in Petite Maison. It was just perfect! Beds were comfortable, good water pressure & plenty of hot water.

Manager's Response

Interesting, charming, high quality,expensive.

Manager's Response

Perfect location. This is our 5th vacation in Key West and this was by far the best. Having a house was much better than a hotel or b&b.
The house was clean, beautiful, well equipped. The balcony was our favorite thing, great for early morning coffee

Manager's Response

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.

Manager's Response

The home was clean, great location, comfortable, very nicely decorated. It had everything we needed. We all enjoyed the home very much. Would certainly recommend it to others.

Manager's Response

The rental was just as advertised. Very clean, good location. Gabriela and Tom do a great job making sure you have a great stay- they get it! Thank you guys!

Manager's Response

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 Café 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.

Manager's Response

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.

Manager's Response

Good

Manager's Response

Loved every moment! Fantastic location! Walked everywhere. Very clean and comfortable.

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.

Manager's Response

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.

Manager's Response

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.

Manager's Response

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

Manager's Response

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

Manager's Response

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.

Manager's Response

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??

Manager's Response

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.

Manager's Response

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.
