wonderful rental on a quiet street
The description of the property was accurate. It is on a very quiet street but within walking distance to the fun of Duval Street and the beaches. We did not bother with renting a car and just walked to everything on Key West. The bed was comfortable, and everything was in working order. There are roosters, but they are all over the island, so not a complaint on the rental. That is just an overall heads up if traveling to Key West. We got used to them within a couple of nights, and they do quiet down. The property owner was awesome. Loved the concierge service. Made planning and booking things so easy!! Highly recommend this place.

cozy hide-a-way
We enjoyed our stay in this cute and comfy rental, that was tucked away on a side street, just a couple from the action on Duval St. We enjoyed the front porch every day, sipping coffee/drinks, reading quietly, made possible by the privacy fence and bushes. We used the kitchen every day, perfect for starting and ending our days with home cooked meals. Although we never did use it, there is a cute courtyard out back with grill, table/chairs. The air conditioning kept us nice and cool. The shower felt great each day.
During the day we roamed around the city, taking in the sights, hit the beach, checked out local preserves, sipped at the local watering holes.
There are plenty of touristy things to do, such as museums, trolley, conch train, drag shows... and more shopping than you can imagine.
As for parking, it was easy and we scored a spot right around the corner every day, just steps from the rental.
Need to know: the neighborhood rooster makes his presence known each morning; however the broom on the front porch will help to shoo him away.
Pack your bag, stop to get groceries and you’re good to go!

Solaris Cottage is a perfect place for one or two people to stay. It's only a block and a half away from Duval St where all the action is and when you're done ,a perfect place for some quiet. It's in a nice quiet location with nice front porch or little garden area to sit back and relax.
The cottage itself is very clean and comfortable with everything thing you need and expect from a nice vacation home.
Check in and check out is easy and everyone was very professional and friendly

It was so nice to feel at home. This apartment was so cozy and had everything we needed and more. We didn’t need a car because it was close enough to walk to just about everywhere we wanted to go. We used the free Duval Loop bus when we didn’t feel like walking, there was a bus stop right around the corner from our apartment! And then there was the Key West Rentals staff! Easy to contact, great advice, quick responses, treated us like family. On a scale if 1 to 10, this place gets a 20!

perfect apartment for our two week stay in key west
We found the Solaris apartment to be perfect for our needs in terms of size, location and amenities. We also found the owner and rental company to be very considerate and attentive as well as the big orange resident cat who liked to visit. Our only issue was late night noise from the rental units across the narrow street. We recognize that this was not the fault of the owner or rental company, but is always a possibility in vacation properties. We would love to return next year and hopefully, stay longer. We have also stayed in the other Solaris apartment which we liked equally. It was a glorious vacation. Thank you!

For this being the first time we ever did anything like this it went well. It was close to everything. We walked the entire time. The cottage was just the right size for what we needed it for. The only complaint I would have is parking is hard to find, so if you get one, park it and leave it. Also, not much green space for dogs.

We really enjoyed our stay here. This cottage is in the perfect location to enjoy Key West's finest! We did find parking fairly easily, although it was somewhat far from the property. We picked this place because they offer a washer and dryer (for all our beach things, towels, SCUBA diving stuff), but the dryer was broken. We called the management company and they found a dryer to use at the property close by, which was nice! The cottage was perfectly clean and well suited for us, an older couple that loves Key West.

good...couple minor things could make it great
Loved the stay. Great location. Clean house. Good neighboring properties and renters/owners/locals. Couple suggestions:
1) provide the controller for the main AC unit in the living room. There was no way to adjust the main temp (that I could find) and it was too hot
2) update the website description to clarify that the side patio is a shared-space between the rental units...we were not expecting to encounter other people there.
3) shower rod is not very tight and slipped down couple times.
4) house could use a couple more lights, or brighter bulbs.
Thanks for the stay and interest in feedback! Cheers!

This is house is absolutely gorgeous and very nice to stay for the week, as I did. It has one bed, full kitchen, but no parking. We had to find free/or paid parking in Key West. Free parking is a little hard to find but it is there. This house had everything we needed, we bought groceries for the week and didnt eat out much. Has tv, a/c (if you need it), books to read at the beach, and games to play. The only downside is that there isnt a pool. Only across the street, be smart about it ;-)

The cottage itself is very cozy and has everything you need. It is clean, efficient, and in a great location - close to everything (2 min walk to Duvall; 10 min walk to Mallory Square; 15 min walk to Fort Zachary Beach). Even though it is located so close to Duvall, it is far enough away that it is very quiet at night. We also got to meet the owner who is a very nice lady (lives upstairs). Vacation Rental Management Staff - Danny - was extremely helpful. Not only did he provide us with activities we wanted to do, but he even drove us to the airport when our taxi did not show up. He went above and beyond. Never seen customer service like this! He is the greatest asset of the management company!

This was our second consecutive vacation staying in Solaris Cottage and we had another wonderful time. The owner obviously cares about the comfort of her guests.
The cottage is in a great location, especially to our favorite restaurants on Petronia. An easy 15 minute walk to either end of the island. Close enough to Duval for a quick walk but far enough away that you don't hear the noise.
Solaris Cottage is kept good shape with a full, usable kitchen (fully stocked with pans, plates, glasses, etc). A large TV, split A/C units, and a modern bathroom help make us feel at home.
The vacation rental management staff is very helpful and responsive. The entire process is explained, written and reinforced via email and their new phone app.

My husband and I enjoyed a week at the Solaris Cottage in Key West. It was everything the reviews reported and then some.. easy walking distance to cafes, Duval street, wonderful coffee shops and everything we wanted to see. The cottage was extremely clean and cool in the Key West heat. We loved that we could cook breakfast every morning and enjoy the birds singing just outside the front door. The cottage is super private and a very comfortable place to hang out after exploring all day. We met the owner who lives upstairs (she was very nice), but she was so quiet we never knew she was around. We would love to stay here again.

The recycling truck came by in the middle of the night and dumped the glass bottles into the truck making all kinds of noise, drunk guests from across the lane would come home at 12:30 and 4:45 in the morning yelling and laughing, and people skateboarding in the road on ramps at 12:30 in the morning. The location of the property was convenient. Besides the noise issue, I was happy with the property.
