This house is everything my wife and I could have asked for! Perfectly located being minutes from duval, a short bike ride to fort Zachary and a little oasis in the back yard. Staff was easy to contact and made the stay that much better. P.S. if you want a taste of Philly try out Mr Zs right down the block, the best cheesesteak you will have and rivals some of the greats in Philly!
Horse Conch was fantastic! Perfect getaway and close to every thing. The check in process was a breeze and the host communicated very effectively. We truly felt welcomed and very comfortable.
Horse Conch was perfect for our stay here in Key West! Loved the ability to cook the pool was amazing to come back to after being in the heat all day. The property was clean and in a great location. Would definitely recommend and come back!
We enjoyed our Stay at Conch Horse room. The 1 BR was nicely appointed and very clean. The room overlooked the beautiful pool in a private backyard made private by lush tropical landscaping. Located in a Very nice neighborhood, a short walk to Duval. It’s close to the local grocery store that had a great butcher shop. One night we bought a great steak and grilled out by the pool.

great location, nice place
The rental was very clean and plenty of towels for the week we stayed. Just a short walk to Duval street and the grocery store.
The office was attentive and communicated very well with all we needed to know.
The pool and property also well maintained, which made having coffee and mimosa in the morning lovely.
We will be coming back 😊

The wife and I had a great 5 night stay at the Horse Conch. It was clean and had plenty of room for the two of us. We enjoyed afternoon swims in the pool after a day exploring Old Town. The location was easily within walking distance to our favorite Key West shops, restaurants, and entertainment!

We stayed three nights (2 adults and a 1 year old) and the location and unit could not have been better. Everything was clean and nicely updated, and we were close to Duval but escaped the noise. The folks at Key West Vacation Rentals were also super friendly and accommodating. Would definitely rent from them again!
Very clean, nicely appointed unit overlooking a lovely pool. Walkway illuminated at night was appreciated. Kitchen nicely outfitted, toaster could be upgraded. Bed was quite comfortable.
