Southard Comfort - Nightly Rental

The house was beautiful it checked all the boxes for sure. The pool was a nice touch to relax in after a hot day out on Duval St. The property management company was great. They were friendly and helpful. They gave us tips on things to do, they called us to let us know the house was ready to get into early. It was about .8 mile from Duval St. which was fine with me. We did Uber sometimes because some of us were not as happy about waking and that was around $6. I would recommend this house for anyone planning to stay in Key West.

We rented this unit for mini season. the house was great. Kitchen is well stocked with pits and pans for cooking at home. Pool came with floats, even though pool is small! the beds were comfy, living room area spacious. 2 parking spots are nice but tight. beware-park spots do NOT include a spot in front of house on street!! must be in driveway which is really tight for entering and exiting car. have no major complaints. One improvement would be for owners to buy larger tv's! master TV is adequate, but all others are way too small. TV's are cheap these days

We loved Southard Comfort, it was a perfect getaway for our family vacation. Slept 6 of us very comfortable. The back yard was truly a private paradise!

My wife and I had great week in Key West and we loved this house. It is large, beautifully decorated and is in a great location. The private pool was perfect especially with the large French doors open from the living room. We rented a car for the week and having a driveway to park in was super convenient. Also it is within easy walking distance to Duval St. We would definitely stay her again when returning to Key West.

The owners were very nice and even made a stop by to be sure the garbage cans were put out for pickup. This is a great rental property!!

We absolutely loved staying at Southard Comfort. We’ve been coming to Key West for about ten years, staying at perfectly nice places, but this year we decided to splurge a bit. And we were so glad we did! Southard Comfort is a lovely mix of elegant & comfortable. It’s situated in the quiet residential area we like to walk around, with the historic wood-frame houses, an easy fifteen-minutes amble to the grocery store (Fausto’s). And having a private pool — what a delightful indulgence! We were also happy with the way the owners & management company dealt promptly with a short power outage. It was heaven.

What a great place to stay in Key West! Close to Duval but far enough away to be quiet and private. The heated pool was great!
We wished the water feature in the book worked but the great folks at Key West vacation rentals assured us it would get fixed quickly. We didn't bother to call them early in our stay so it is hard to fault them. The real only NIT that we have (which most wouldn't) is that we wished the TV were a little larger. I know folks don't come to Key West to watch TV but in a way, we do. Every year a buddy of mine and I ride our motorcycles down from the DC area to watch the Superbowl on Duval. A 7th year (and running) tradition for us. There have been previous years when it was a little chilly or rainy and we didn't want to go out to Duval to find a place to watch. That's where a bit bigger TV in Southard might have come in handy. It wasn't necessary as the weather when we were there in Feb (2019) was amazing! Like I said, a TINY NIT in an otherwise awesome place. We loved it!

Southard Comfort is a beautiful property! We loved the home and the decor. It was beautifully decorated and well kept and the pool was just breathtaking. It’s in a quiet neighbor hood but a walkable distance from major attractions. The management company made sure everything was perfect. We had a wonderful. stay there - it couldn’t have been better.

All OK
Need to fix fan in Master, wobbles and makes noise!

Manager's Response

The house was amazing, stunningly beautiful and inviting! Location is perfect and the pool and outdoor shower are just the right thing to relax after a busy day of exploring the town! The rental service was exceptional, super friendly, helpful and easy! We will be back for sure!

Great communication throughout, very clean and a great "Key West" feel throughout. We would stay there again for sure. Nice neighborhood also.

Manager's Response

Came here with some friends to celebrate our wives 40th birthday. Had a great relaxing time at the property. Short walk to Duval and far better than staying in a hotel. Property management company went above and beyond to accommodate us. Only downside is we couldn't stay longer. Highly recommend!

Manager's Response

We loved the house! Super cozy very clean!!
We had a great time and I’ll definitely come back!

Manager's Response

Great and charming home, clean and well cared for. Was great for 6 of us to celebrate a special birthday over a long weekend

Excellent

The Keys have been a lifelong destination for us. The air, water, and people there do it for us. So it's nice to find another treasure there we've not experienced. The Southard Comfort home was all we could have wanted. Beautifully done, tastefully decorated, and so so comfortable. The pool area is where we spent half of our time. A cool pool in Florida in August is unheard of! Felt like a million! So happy when a trip gives you everything you could want or need. Relaxed, peaceful, and happy. Just what the doctor ordered!!

We brought a friend from the carribean that has been working on hurricane cleanup. the house was beautiful and had all the amenities that we were looking for . The pool and fountain is fantastic and the location is perfect. we would recommend the house to anyone who wanted a comfortable stay in Key West

Manager's Response

The house fit 3 couples very well. The pool was very nice. Loved the outdoor shower. The house was very charming, clean and well appointed with furniture and odds and ends.

Manager's Response

Thank you to the owner, Karl for opening your home to my family. I fell in love with the layout, furnishings, kitchen, outdoor area and porch. This home is truly a treasure that made our time in Key West most enjoyable!

Southard Comfort is the perfect retreat! Highly recommend for families or small groups of friends. Beautiful home with thoughtful touches throughout. The location was far enough from noise of Duval but close enough to walk. Was sad to leave!

The house was beautiful,location was great, very clean. This was my husband and my first time to the Keys we had a wonderful time.

Manager's Response

Absolutely beautiful in every way!

A great vacation was had by all of us. We were 6 adults and never felt cramped. The home for most was perfect! A bit off beaten path from Duval, but we enjoyed the walk, and the peace and quiet. Enjoyed having coffee in the morning on front porch and afternoon drinks by the pool. Loved how the doors slid completely open to allow the outdoors in. I gave condition/cleanliness only a 4 because the skylight screens were ripped in master and very dirty. The ceiling fan needs to be replaced, it shook and had an annoying clank when on. Ceiling fan outside of kitchen door has a broken paddle and also shook when on. We had to call to have pool cleaned. very prompt, but only skimmed it. Could have used a good vacuum. Surprised the pool wasn't heated,as we thought it was advertised as heated. All in all,the house itself was very clean and comfortable. Master bed was super comfy!! We really enjoyed our stay.

This was so nice!!! The owner of the house is so great and helpful, and the house is to die for. We went for my sister's bachelorette weekend and she loved the house, location and experience altogether. Great pool too :)

We loved our spacious and spotlessly clean house. In the mornings, we would sit by the pool. It was a lovely way to start the day. The location was perfect. We rented bikes for the days we were there and pedaled all over the central part of Key West. Carl came to fix a light switch and was friendly and kind. It was a great find.

Manager's Response

Wonderful location and plenty of space for our family vacation. Immaculate house, and amenities to make our stay extra special. Loved the pool, access to a grill, snacks, sun screen, and ample towel supply.

Manager's Response

We had a great time in this cozy and beautifully furnished cottage. Secluded from the neighbors in an otherwise busy neighborhood. The only downside is that there is alot of traffic on Southard Street which made it noisy. But the upside was that it is close to restaurants, bike rentals etc.

No lie our business group enjoyed all the amenities along with the night life of course. The property's location was perfect. It was a short walk to the strip and great cafe on the way. Not to mention a 4 star restaurant emidiatly around the corner. As for the far excursions we just ubered no more than a 2 min wait. And once we got back to the beautifully decorated house is when our second vacation started. We could communicate with our party from the pool to the kitchen and living room and with the fountain running just topped it off. Super clean house. I want to buy this house just the way it is and I wouldn't change a thing. Btw we got lucky and there was ice cold beer in the fridge when we arrived which helped with the time to get settled in. ( I'm sure it was from the last people so thank you if you see this ) we will definitely be back. Let me know if decide to sell and anybody can call me to verify truth to this long review

Love He location and the amenities. Was perfect family set up. Had friends that rented the same place right after us. Would highly recommend. Owners stopped by to check on our stay!

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The home owner was more than accomodating. I would highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone visting key west

Love everything about this house! It's the 25th visit to the island for my husband and me, and the second time we've stayed at Southard Comfort with our twin teens. Great location, beautiful decor, super kitchen/dining set-up, lovely pool area, spotless from top to bottom, super comfy king bed in the master bedroom, great space overall, great this, great that... I could go on and on. The only downside? Showers are a little unusual (slanted ceiling in master bath is a little short for my 6'3" husband, shared bath for two other bedrooms not ideal for privacy or shower optimization - it's a footed tub with a surround curtain) but that is the only downside... and it's a minor one. I most definitely highly recommend staying here - it's ideal for a family of four - and could easily handle more if you go two-to-a-queen in the two guest bedrooms.

We really enjoyed the location, the property was very clean! The bathrooms were a little difficult for 7 people. The rental company was great! The pool was a great size! We had a great time!

This is our second time staying at Southard Comfort. Each time we have met the owners and they have always been very friendly and engaged. The house is nicely furnished, the kitchen is well equipped, and for a family with children it's perfect. The location is nice because it is close enough to restaurants and shops, but just far enough away to be quiet and off the beaten path. Although it has a parking spot, we have always just rented bikes and pedaled everywhere. Fausto's for groceries is a 5 minute bike ride away. The pool is small, and the area around it is very shady, but it's an otherwise pleasant space. It's nice to have a washer and dryer. My only criticism is that the master bed mattress should be replace. It's soft and lumpy and not comfortable. I have made the property management company aware of this and hope the owner will take action on this for the benefit of future renters. Overall, big thumbs up for Southard Comfort!

It was wonderful! House is gorgeous! Owner and property manager were very receptive! Loved it and will be back.......

Manager's Response

Our weeklong stay at Southard was wonderful. The home is lovely and well suited for families or small groups. Our concierge Phil went above and beyond to help us with our needs while we were there. The owners were very quick to address a very small issue while we were there. Great location that is a short bike ride from Duval Street fun. The heated pool was excellent and all the furniture was very comfortable. We all loved the outdoor shower. The house was well stocked with everything you would need and the owners were kind enough to leave us some small snacks and cold beers to kick off our stay. The house is near several excellent restaurants-- El Siboney, Cafe Sole, Azur, Seven Fish, Mangia Mangia. The one thing I would have people be aware of is that all of the bedrooms are upstairs and the slatted doors on all of the doors (including bathrooms) make it a little less private than I would have preferred. Overall, an excellent property and we would definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful time at Southard Comfort. The location was perfect and we just loved the house. It had everything we needed to have a nice relaxation vacation! I highly recommend Southard Comfort and look forward to staying here in the future!

Manager's Response

Upon arrival we were greeted by Nancy and Carl. In our brief passing you can tell they are such wonderful people. Carls best advice was "dont wait till the last day to check out the outdoor shower". Dang was he right! It was so easy to jump in rinse off and a nice dip in the pool after a day of riding bikes or laying on the beach. It truly made for a magical trip to the Keys. We had a party of 6 and there was plenty of room to move around in the house if you wanted. The veranda and pool were so very nice with an adult beverage after after a day in the high 90 temps. AC AND fans in each room allowed you to get that cool night breeze if you so desired. Also within a 3-4 minute bike ride you could be at no less than 6 different restaurants and 2 markets. So not only is the home itself a gem, inice location.

Manager's Response

this was the perfect vacation home. the house was beautiful, very clean. private pool was the perfect size for us to hop in and cool off. hardly spent any time inside because of the shaded patio and pool! the outdoor shower was great, none of us showered inside again after the first night. Walking distance to duval, but away from the craziness when you want a break. it definitely was a hard place to leave....

This was the first time I utilized the Historic Key West Vacation Rentals and must say I was quite pleased with them. They were so good about keeping in touch to see if we needed any other information.

Manager's Response

This house is a simple Charm. From the front door to the awesome pool and porch area, you feel as though you are at home, at least for a week !The location was perfect, just far enough away from Duval or Main Street, yet a few blocks to the Marina area. Phil was our concierge for the week, and was very helpful
especially with the restaurants. This is a must
return destination for house and of course Key West itself.

This is an ideal location to stay while visiting Key West. Close but not too close to all the action. You can walk easily to various things but are far away enough from Duvall to avoid all the noise.

The house is nicely laid out and has a wonderful side yard. The small pool is perfect for hopping in and cooling off.

Flawless from start to finish. Property exceeded expectations in every way. Concierge was excellent.

This cottage is stunning! The living room with doors that slide open looking out onto the pool is unmatched! Updated kitchen, laundry, dining room, outdoor shower, 3 spacious bedrooms, etc. is perfect for 4-6 people. Well kept cottage, centrally located in a friendly neighborhood with an impressing number of intimate bars & restaurants for those who need a break from Duval Street, this place has it all! Last but not least, the staff at Historic Key West Vacation Rentals are uber friendly, great communicators and so easy to work with -- really top notch all the way around!

Southard Comfort was wonderful. The decor, location, and amenities were perfect! The staff at Historic Key West were amazing! From bike rentals to restaurant and activities recommendations, they had the answers! When our flight was cancelled due to weather at home, they and the property owners allowed us to stay an additional 2 nights to ease the stress of finding other accommodations! Would stay here again and would recommend to others!

This was the first time I ever rented a house for vacation and it was a wonderful experience.
The house was beautiful and extremely clean.
I would definitely do it again. Property management company was so helpful and nice.

House is nicely furnished, kitchen well equipped, and located in a quiet area of Key West. We didn't even rent a car: just had bikes and could get to grocery stores, restaurants, beaches, etc very easily. Although the pool is very small and shaded by trees, it was nicely heated and used during our week. Phil fro Historic Key West Vaction Rentals was very professional and helpful. Although we didn't need him for much during our stay, it was nice to know he was available in case we had any issues.
