We enjoyed our stay immensely! The condo was clean, had everything you could need & then some, and was very close to beach & shopping/restaurants. Host was incredibly attentive to us, answering any questions immediately. We most appreciated the beach chairs and cart making our walk to the beach very convenient. Great stay!
Very nice owner. Well appointed apartment, everything is provided in the kitchen, clean bedding, lots of towels. Pool was warm, and rarely used by others.
Wonderful property, easy beach access. Host pays close attention to details. Walking distance from local grocer, incredibly dining options, a beautiful state park and beaches. Easy drive to Miami and all its attractions!
Elizabeth’s condo was in a great location for walking easily to the beach. She left detailed instructions and an access key for the beach entrance. We walked everywhere! Dinner out, grocery store, beach, to watch the local kiddos play soccer. Key Biscayne is very safe to walk anywhere and the locals are friendly! Was an enjoyable, refreshing stay!
We spent 3 wonderful weeks in this apartment. Location and facilities of the apartment are excellent. The communication with the very friendly landlady was great. She was always available to contact, answered inquiries immediately and was on site quickly if necessary. We felt very comfortable during this time. We want to come back!

Great location - too much stuff
The location of the unit is perfectly situated; 5 minute walk to grocery store and several restaurants. The hostess was unusually persistent in calls ahead of the stay and two calls while there, one trying to pressure us into paying for a cleaning halfway through our 1 month stay. We work remotely and value our privacy so declined. THEN 3 days after we checked out she texts to essentially say we took the Brita water filter. I was/am furious. I remember filling it putting it in the refrigerator! Anyway, the whole hostess experience was a bummer. The place is cute but as others have mentioned it has so many decorations on every surface and furniture too large for the space that it feels crowded. Wi-Fi was spot on with both of us working. The pool was lovely but the whole pool area is locked up at dark 6 pm. Anyway, key Biscayne is magical with the parks and beach and Miami and easy drive.If you can deal with a crazy hostess, it's a great spot!

Mixed Feelings
I have mixed feelings about this stay. The property was clean and there were plenty of clean towels for us to make it through the week. There were also lots of extras in the kitchen and cleaning products, as well as things for the beach.
The apartment is somewhat cluttered with a lot of furniture and it's difficult to have room to store anything or move around a lot. Communication was difficult and the location of the apartment wasn't very clear or easy to find when we arrived. The walk to the beach is long and it wasn't ideal if we wanted to take anything with us. The walls are very thin and the upstairs neighbors woke us up just by walking around and showering. There was laundry on property, but it was expensive and difficult to use (you had to have a laundry card, and the cards were expensive and it was very confusing how to obtain and use them).
Overall, the stay was okay. I would probably choose something else next time.
Host should learn to communicate more through email and text instead of constant phone calls. Fantastic area to visit but the apartment is cluttered with unnecessary furniture, furniture is old and worn, hasn’t had a deep cleaning in a long time. Streaming is difficult with SLOW internet and the cheapest 720p tiny tv. Apartment needs maintenance as it is not only unclean but the toilets run, wall switches are broken, smoke alarm in bedroom is disabled, plaster damage in shower due to no exhaust vent, the baseboard trim is in need of painting everywhere and there were ants on the kitchen counter about half the days.
Very convenient to shops, restaurants and beach. Still a little bit of a hike to get to the beach but was nice to be able to eat at the Ritz. The place was very clean and had everything we needed.
Close to everything needed, beach, grocery store, restaurants and parks. Easy to bike or walk everywhere. Beach chairs and umbrella provided, which was nice. Very nice community center with gym with very reasonable rates.
The property was really nice and clean. Centrally located. Constant communication with the owner. Amazing experience and would recommned it in a heartbeat!
Would definitely book again. Great location , close to shops and the beach
Everything needed was at the apt. About a 5 min walk to Winn Dixie and other shops. Great beach access- apt had beach chairs, cooler and umbrella to use at the Beach. Small pool out back and your own parking space. Ely was good in communicating everything. Would definitely book again next time vacationing in Miami (about 20 min car rides away)
Apartment is tucked away nicely in a neighborhood about .4 miles from the beach. It is an easy walk and the beach was accessible and not crowded. Close to shops, grocery store, CVS, parks, and local restaurants. We were comfortable for our weeklong stay and had everything we needed. A bonus was the nice shower! If you want to visit Miami it is a short drive with a lot of options for public parking and exploring different neighborhoods. We will definitely be back. Thank you Ely for sharing your lovely home with us!
Great little apartment in a nice complex. 5-10 min walk from the beach. Kitchen well stocked. Served well for our home base. Reasonably priced. Pictures are reflective. We didn’t know much about Miami when we booked. Figured it would be a bit quieter and low-key place. Very true. Great little community. Nice beach.
The unit was clean and centrally located. The host was attentive and communicated with us to assure that all went well checking in and offering local information.
There is a lot of stuff in the unit and I would not recommend it for young children staying or visiting.
I personally did not find the chairs or sofa comfortable but my wife did. I object to an added cost for damage insurance or giving a cash deposit.
Ely was delightful to work with, answering questions about the property and then staying in touch once we settled ourselves. There are many amenities; the kitchen is fully equipped. Has both espresso maker and a Mr Coffee coffee maker. We were able to buy charcoal at the nearby Winn Dixie and grill our dinners on the outdoor grills that are available. There is a laundry room onsite but you need to have $5 bills to charge up the washing machine card (that you can find in the property). There is a pool but it gets locked early at night (supposedly open "dawn to dusk" but the hours are much shorter in practice). An electronic fob will get you into a gated beach entrance that has a nice rinse-off station. The property includes beach chairs that you can take to the beach, as well as beach towels. Overall a wonderful experience.
