great outdoor area
Poinciana Garden is in a good location just a couple of blocks east of Duval Street and within an easy walk of the the Hemingway House and lighthouse. The unit has a very nice outdoor area with rocking chairs, dining space, and screened sitting area. The unit was very clean and the kitchen adequately furnished. We believe this unit is a good value.

quiet place just steps from duval st
I was surprised how quiet it was so close to Duval street. Place was clean and management company stayed in touch during our stay making sure we were comfortable. No contact check-in was smoother than I anticipated. We walked to Mallory Square almost every evening to watch the sunset and ate at one of the many restaurants on our walk back.

This was our 2nd time staying at the Poinciana and we'll definitely be back. Perfect spot for a couple, with an additional pull-out sofa for a child. The location is ideal...walking distance to the hustle and bustle of Duval, but situated on a very quiet street so you can get away from it all and get some sleep. Less than a mile to Higgs Beach in one direction or Mallory Square in the other. Hot tub was a huge bonus.

What a fantastic, little romantic cottage... Right off Duval Street with access to everything especially the marina where we spent most of our time... Perfect little one bedroom with a small kitchen and TV room for that romantic weekend getaway...
The cottage had everything... Wi-Fi, plenty of cooking utensils, although we went out every night... Everything was perfect, including a very easy, remote contactless check in... Kim at the home office was fantastic to work with... Everybody was very easy, and I am definitely going to stay in that same cottage next year when we’re back for the powerboat races... Highly recommend and a very happy customer.

one week in kw well spent
My husband and I just spent a week in Key West for his 50th birthday. We loved the island so much last year, he wanted to come back. Property management was easy to work with, we had a late arrival and directions were perfect for getting our keys to the property. We got to the property a little after 9pm, unloaded and freshened up and were on Duval by 10pm! The walk is just a couple blocks and so safe and secure. We slept great in the king bed and I enjoyed coffee before heading out for our adventures each day. We went to the beach daily and I can’t imagine if we didn’t have a washer and dryer for suits and towels. If you have ever been to Key West, you know parking can be a real issue in a lot of areas- having a designated parking spot was another reason we chose this rental. Only thing to pass along when choosing this rental- there are beach towels but no other beach items like chairs, umbrellas or tote. We rented chairs and an umbrella daily but that will run you an extra $50, just an fyi.

charming key west duplex
This duplex was clean and charming. The location is excellent and is close to many attractions. The property management team was superb in communication - will definitely use their services again. Just an FYI- you have to go to the office to get the keys and drop them off. Taxi drivers charged more for two stops. Recommend bringing an eye mask because the room is really bright at night and in the morning. This may not be an issue for others-I sleep better in a dark room. Would stay here again.

We had a great time staying at this property. The location is ideal for walking/biking the old town part of Key West.

This rental was off the beaten path, however, still close enough to walk everywhere we needed to go during our stay in the Keys. The property was very clean and had everything we needed to have a very comfortable stay. The private hot tub and on-site washer/dryer were a bonus. The only thing I would change...I would ask the property managers to at least leave a day or two worth of coffee in the house, until we had time to get to the store. Other that that, it was perfect for us.

We stayed a week while we explored Key West. The location is perfect! It’s on a nice quiet little lane away from the hubbub for some quiet wind down time yet close to it all! Just two blocks off Duval, walking distance to Mallory Square and Fort Zachery. We enjoyed grilling in the little back yard as well as morning coffee on the front porch. The kitchen is just enough for a quiet evening in. LOVED our stay here!

From beginning to end the entire stay was incredible! The communication was excellent and so kind every time. When booking I actually did not realize how close the location was to everything we wanted to do/see! It is so close/walking distance to Duval st. The house itself was very tidy, clean, private and we appreciated the access to the washer and dryer, it made things so much easier since we stayed for about a week. We did leave detergent behind but it’s not a problem because I’m sure someone else can use it! The bed was extremely comfortable, the neighborhood was very quiet, and The hot tub was a nice touch as well! All in all my husband and I’s anniversary trip back to the keys was incredible and will highly, highly recommend this place to everyone and will stay again in the future! Thank you for everything!

poincianna garden
This rental has a great location. It is as described and very clean. However, for me personally, the window AC units are just too noisy. Thankfully the weather was good and just running the ceiling fans did the trick for us. Also, while thankful that there is a parking spot, be aware that it is tiny. It is a very tight parking situation but parking off street nontheless. Also tiny is the bathroom. Not sure the pictures prepared me for just how tiny it is but again, we made do. We walked to everything we wanted and when we were tired, we rented a scooter which was a lot of fun. If you don't like the crowd at Mallory Square at sunset, go to Zachary Taylor State Park. It's not crowded this time of year and you can catch a beautiful sunset there but they will kick you out at 6:30. There are lots of great places to eat that aren't on Duvall street too, which we liked. One was Cafe Sole and Little Pearl.

The property was as described, centrally located to many Key West attractions. Walking distance to Duval and Mallory Square. Also convenient to use the free Duval Loop bus. Property managers were fantastic...even delivered our luggage to the property from their office and dropped off the keys to us where we were on Duval St.
After 2020 it was nice to getaway to somewhere where the majority of people were willing to abide with the safety restrictions of masking and distancing. The normal crowds of Key West were also way down making restaurants, attractions and even many bars more easily and safely accessible.

great location, beautiful property
I mostly picked this property based on price, location, and available parking. Reservations were easy and the price was comparable to other hotels in the area, but the $3000 security deposit is a little steep. You can pay for non-refundable renters insurance instead of the security deposit.
Even though the check-in instructions stated that they do not allow early check-in, we actually were able to get in about 2 hours early. The property manager was in contact with us frequently before our arrival. Check-in was quick....if there's no parking in front of the building, just park at the bank or post office lot. You won't be there long.
There is parking in front of the apartment unit (a big bonus), but it is tight.
The apartment itself was nicely decorated and updated, airy, and clean. It has most of the basic necessities that you would need for a long weekend.
The air conditioning unit is quite loud and we never figured out how to keep it at a consistent temperature so that it wasn't kicking on and off all the time. Luckily it was breezy and comfortable during our stay so it wasn't an issue, other than the noise.
The garden and patio are shaded and private, so there's additional room to hang out. You're close enough to walk to all the attractions near Duval Street, but far enough away that you don't hear noise or heavy traffic.
Overall, it's a great property for a couple.

It was as advertised, and that is good !
It was small, but provided all that we required, the location was perfect for enjoying the Old Town experience, the proximity to Duval and all the activities of being centrally located, yet very private. My wife loved the Hot Tub as she was able to adjust the temp to her needs...she likes it hot, me not so much...
Parking is tight and I wouldn't recommend anyone bring a larger vehicle, we have a Toy 4Runner that just barely fit the parking spot...
All in all it was perfect rental for us...
I would be remiss in not thanking Danny, the rep who met us in the office to pick up our keys, highly professional and took the time to alleviate my wife's concerns about security and what to expect in Key West, thank you Sir !

cute little unit, fantastic location!
We got in early from the ferry so Danny met us at Poinciana with keys AND he had the bikes rented and delivered for us so it was a wonderfully easy transition. Thanx Danny! The unit itself is clean and efficient, nothing overly glamourous about it but how much time are you spending in it anyway? Personally I would paint all the wood walls to give it a fresh, beachy feel. The wood paneling everywhere made everything seem dark and old.IMO I would add some more storage shelves in the bathroom and please buy new bed sheets, those ones were all "pilly" not nice and smooth. We loved being able to hang out privately in our what we called "tepid-tub" as we turned the temperature wayyy down. It was lovely. Everything you need is there and just steps away from Duval. I even got a glimpse of a wee baby "gecko" by the stove so adorable but she scurried away so fast. (People this is a tropical place, you will see them everywhere, they are harmless and so cute.) Duece's across the street is a fabulous little restaurant for any meal.

quaint little cottage
This place was just what I was looking for a weekend getaway! It exceeded my epacations and is exactly like the pictures. It was a colder weekend so the jacuzzi came in handy! Bed is super comfortable and the apartment is very clean. I actually enjoyed it much better than a hotel which was almost double he price! Location was fantastic 2 blocks from Duval Street but far enough from the noise. The staff was great too with letting us check in early and even watching our bags while we awaiting to check in and after check out so we wouldn't have to carry them around town. They have a private courtyard area with bicycle parking which is great if you rent a bike or bring a bike. Best way to get around key west! But if you have your car there's parking spot right on sight. Pull out couch in the living area and a fully functioning kitchenette. We didn't use it much since Jey West trips for us are all about the good food, but it would be comfortable for 4 ppl. Bathroom is a bit small but it works for the little time your in the place. If you on the fence don't hesitate. This location is right in the middle of it all.

poinciana place - garden december 2017
We wanted a house that was close to Duval Street, yet quiet enough that we could still get a a good night's sleep. We also wanted a house that was comfortable if we need a day of just lounging around. This house was perfect...comfortable living room where we could catch the Army/Navy game, and a hot tub to relax in (or warm up with on a rainy day!). The kitchen had exactly everything we needed, including a blender. The back porch included chaise lounge chairs, for an afternoon of sunbathing and cocktails. There was also a grill, perfect for making a homemade fresh seafood dinner. I think the best part about the experience was the super helpful service we received from Danny! He was an excellent concierge...answering all of my emails/phone calls/questions before we arrived, sending me recommendations of places to eat and things to do, and taking care of us while we were there, helping us secure bike rentals, and even replacing the gas tank on the grill when it ran out! It was also very easy to do a late arrival check in, and checking out was quick. Everyone in the office was super friendly! Overall, this was a great place to stay and a great management company to work with! We will definitely use them again when we go back to KW!

Phil, the concierge, was available 24/7 via text, which was awesome! It was nice to be able to text someone for suggestions. We will definitely go back! The only downside, which isn't a showstopper by any means, was the lack of counter space for makeup, hair dryer, etc. in the bathroom. Other than that, we loved it!

We have stayed at Poinciana Place 28 times and would not stay anywhere else on the island. It has always had a wonderful welcoming ambience about it that has never faded. The new owners have made some subtle changes but have kept the character intact. It has all the amenities a visitor could want: Jacuzzi, laundry facilities, peaceful deck, beautiful garden and a plus in Key West - off-street parking!!However, the best feature of this property is the location on a quiet lane you can escape to after a busy night on Duval St..
Looking forward to returning in fall!
