great stay in key west!!!
We had a wonderful week in Key West. Solaris Garden was the perfect size for my wife and me. It was exactly as advertised. It was clean, well maintained, spacious and well stocked. The location was excellent. We were able to walk or ride our bikes to great restaurants, the marina, and any of the sites we wanted to see. The rental company was gracious and helpful, especially when we arrived and departed. We would definitely rent Solaris Garden again and have already told many friends about it. Thanks for a GREAT vacation.

great location
We loved this unit. The location is fabulous-right in the middle of Old Town, most everything is an easy walk. The unit is charming and the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, a nice porch light and motion sensor lights make you feel safe and welcome when coming home late. The bed and furnishings are very comfortable. It was great to have the washer/dryer on site. Seriously consider renting bikes for your stay-they make the whole island accessible without needling a car (parking very limited).

My husband and I were so glad we booked Solaris Garden through Historic Key West Vacation Rentals. It is on a quiet lane with beautiful trees and plants around the patio. Easy to store the bikes. The kitchen and bathroom have all you need including good knives, wineglasses and a fabulous shower. Bed comfortable. Laundry and clothesline useful. The living space was thoughtfully and artfully designed. The minisplit, fans and air conditioner kept the temp just right. We also appreciated the concierge services provided that gave us a worry-free week in Key West. Thanks folks for your help getting the taxi, providing baggage storage when we arrived and helping with bike rental. We will be back!

The space was exactly as described. It was clean, complete, and comfortable with an authentic old Florida feel. It would be a great place for a couple, but I was there with my daughter and was easily able to sleep on the sofa comfortably. Fousto's Food Market, bars and restaurants are all within easy walking distances. Cars, scooters and golf carts were not part of the experience we wanted and this place worked well for that purpose.

This was our first trip to Key West. The rental office was perfectly communicative. I felt like I could reach out to them if I had any types of questions or if I needed anything. They texted just the right amount. My husband and I spent five nights in this cottage. We had everything we needed. The location was fantastic... We walked everywhere. The air conditioners worked beautifully and they were ceiling fans as well. Everything was very clean and the bed comfortable. I sat out on the porch quite a bit and that was nice. I watched the lizards on the plants bike delivery was perfect. They dropped him off and pick them up for us.

5 days in key west, solaris garden
We had a wonderful stay in Key West. The Solaris Garden, "Artists Cottage" was perfect for our 5-day stay, easy walk to Historic Downtown and Mallory Square. The cottage is well maintained, and decorated with a fun Key West vibe!. The only drawback is you do share a patio/deck with the front apt, which is not indicated on the listing. We were fine with that due to the other group being very respectful.

Great location for walking to Duval 2 blocks, then about 15 minutes to either the Southernmost Point or Mallory Square. The free bus has a stop around the corner. The rental was located behind a gate of the main house. It was private, super cute, and perfect for a couple. Furnishings were nice and the kitchen had all essentials (we only made coffee there). Bathroom was a good size too. The only con is I would suggest a mattress topper to make the bed more comfy as it was a little hard. Bedding was nice too!

labor day weekend getaway as a family of 4
My husband and I decided to take our first road trip over the long Labor Day weekend with our dogs. We decided to use VRBO to find a place in Key West, Florida. Success! We found a spot in the historic downtown area at a very reasonable price, especially for a holiday weekend.
The condo we chose was just the right size for the two of us plus two dogs. It was super clean, cozy, and within walking distance to everything.
That was our highlight, we could walk to everything and be home throughout the days to take care of the dogs when we didn’t take them with us.
The rental team was also super nice and helpful as we got situated.
After booking the condo and paying for the 2 nights through VRBO, we were sent a new contract, slightly changing the terms and making it seem as though the management company still had to approve two dogs and requiring an additional $45.00 non-refundable insurance charge. It was off putting because we had reached an agreement and paid in full, and if we didn’t agree with the new contract we couldn’t get out of the original contract or get our money back because the payment was non-refundable at the time it was paid as it was booked so close to the reservation date.
To top it off, 24 hours before our arrival we received a call that a mistake was made and they had overlooked that we had 2 dogs and that there was a 1 pet policy. No such policy was stated anywhere in either contract. They allowed us to bring the two dogs, but we had to pay an additional $150 pet deposit because it is a “per pet” fee.
Then, 4 hours before our arrival our card was charged again without permission for $18.75 by the management company. When I called to inquire why, I was told it was because another mistake was made and the taxes weren’t included to my second dog deposit. This charge was reversed when challenged but still made us hesitant if this was going to be

quiet charm
This was our third year at this property, but the first in the back unit. The two units (front vs back) have a completely different feel. The front unit is lighter, a bit larger and more modern. This unit is more rustic, smaller, and secluded.
The bathroom is larger in this unit, and has a walk-in shower. There was more storage space (overall) in this unit as well. More windows in this unit allowed in plenty of light during the day.
It was nice to wake up, move to the patio, and spend the morning relaxing. Lots of shade until mid-afternoon...the hurricane ended up thinning some of the trees around the property so not as shady as the sun moves west.
Our one complaint was the softness of the mattress on the queen bed. We both woke up with aching back almost every morning. I'd suggest either the mattress, boxspring, or both be replaced with something with more support.

Solaris Garden Cottage was clean, comfortable, and supplied with kitchen and bathroom necessities. Having laundry on the property was convenient. Secluded patio area was very relaxing and a good place to eat outside. Just don't plan on having any parties on the patio - one of the neighbors asked us to turn off the radio we had playing outside!
Location was great - a few blocks away from Duval St and a 15 minute walk to beautiful South Beach. Despite the proximity to Duval St, cottage was in a quiet area. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend this to friends and family who are looking for a relaxing place to sleep while still being close to the beach and busy Duval St.
