Coco's Poolside Retreat

Coco's Poolside Retreat is a 3-story Key West vacation rental townhouse situated in a one-of-a-kind private tropical pool garden compound. The townhouse is on the pool side of the complex overlooking a large 40' by 16' swimming pool and offers three full bedrooms, and 2.5 bathrooms. It was designed and built in the 1990's to compliment the architecture of Flower Power House, an original 2-story wooden home that is set on the complete opposite end of the garden and swimming pool.

Enter the vacation rental townhouse from the front porch that sits directly off garden and you're lead right into the cheery sunlit great-room. Single pane French doors and sash windows on three sides of the first floor bounce sunlight off the bright colored walls and provide fantastic views of the pool and garden. The great-room consists of the living room and large U-shaped galley kitchen with breakfast bar, and creates the ideal setting for entertaining family and friends. A nice front sitting porch off the living room expands the width of the townhouse and looks out over the swimming pool and garden. To finish off the first floor, a half bath and washer/dryer are conveniently placed underneath the staircase and fade seamlessly into the decor.

A beautiful traditional-style interior wooden staircase leads to the second floor which offers a whole new viewpoint on the setting below. At the front of the home, overlooking the swimming pool and garden below a second floor sitting room with a queen sleeper sofa and covered sitting porch that extends the entire width of the townhouse. This makes a great living space with the perfect down view of the pool garden below. Toward the back of the second floor is a bedroom with a queen size bed and full bathroom. Both rooms are painted in bright Caribbean colors and when combined with more French doors and sash windows, the tone for a playful island vibe is set.

The banister staircase then continues to the third floor which offers two more bedrooms and a full bathroom. One bedroom has a king size bed and the other offers two twin beds that can also be made into a king size bed. Both bedrooms have plenty of sunlight. The bathroom on the third floor has entrance doors from each bedroom.

Furnishings, colors, and artwork throughout this Key West rental are tropical, cheery, and playful. The owner/artist took great pleasure in picking a theme that brings the sense of light-heartedness that makes life in the tropics so wonderful and laid-back.

A Shared But Wonderful Oasis
We had a great time in this lovely, artsy oasis. Walk through the carport, and your vacation is transformed beyond anything you can infer driving down the street. The private and secure courtyard, with its shared deck, private porch and balcony overlooking an amazing pool were relaxation at its best. The amount of private space, combined with the fact that the people from the 2 properties that shared the common areas were as nice as us, made for a great experience. If you are hooked on Duval - it isn't a bad walk. And the Old Town neighborhood is close to Higg's beach and has some gems of its own - like Fausto's, the Oasis and Sandy's Café. Some day I hope to go back with more family and friends and rent out all 3 properties.

Beautiful condo with a great garden/pool area
We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful 3 story condo. Management was very responsive and all service people for the condo were extremely helpful and polite. The swimming pool and garden area is gorgeous and very private. There were 5 of us and we all had plenty of privacy and space. The condo has a well equipped kitchen. The central Location is walking distance to most everything. Sloppy Joes on Duvall is about a mile away. There's a Fausto's grocery and a liquor store just a block away. Would definitely stay here again.

Broken down couches.
Overal the place was nice and in decent shape with the exception of the two sofas. The first floor sofa had its trundle mattress removed and the entire structure of the sofa was collapsed. The pullout sofa on the second floor is just as bad. We attempted to pull the sofa out and one of the brackets to the sofa was loose and slammed into the glass top table. We will see whether the property Manager expects me to pay for the table despite the cause being their broken down sofa!

Awesome Key West House
This was our first experience with VRBO - totally sold. Very easy, safe, and full of information before and during our stay. The house was absolutely as pictured. We had a minor issue the first day with both the coffee maker and toaster not working; however, after a quick call, someone was there within 10 minutes with a new coffee maker and actually went to the store and bought a new toaster right after that. That’s great service and we give them extra kudos! Our only critiques would be that the rugs upstairs were stained and could have used an upgrade and although the pool and area courtyard were very nice, it was quite shaded so didn’t get the sun to warm it up. Some of the palm trees perhaps could have been cut back. Overall, a lovely place and experience.

Coco's poolside
This rental was great. Residential neighbors were friendly enough. They tended to keep to themselves, but I would too. Rental neighbors sharing the pool were all awesome. The pool was great. Everything was clean, kitchen was well equipped, there were plenty of towels. The only thing I didn't like was downtown key west so most likely I will not be returning, but if somehow I find myself in this town again I would try to stay at Coco's again.

First Key West trip
The property is residential and in a quiet neighborhood. The pool is what makes the property worth renting. This location requires a golf cart rental or bike rental to see attractions I would rent it again however the property needs a deep cleaning.

Key West Family Vacation
Property was exactly as described. Located in Old Town and not far from Duval. An easy 15 minute walk or 5 minute bike ride to the heart of it all. The air conditioning broke our second day there but was fixed the same day so we weren’t uncomfortable for long. Very quick response time once rental property agent was contacted! Beds were extremely comfortable, pool was amazing and we made some new friends on the compound. Only negative thing I can say is the floors need a good mopping. The bottoms of my feet were black from walking around barefoot in the house. Other than that everything was clean and comfortable for my family of five. Would definitely recommend!

Disappointed
The cleaning people were still there. The first step entering the property was loose and created a huge safety issue. The ice maker does not work. The pool was dirty and used by 3 different rentals. There was not enough silverware cups etc. They should supply plastic for the.pool area. I would never rent this property again. Kim

Clean 3 story townhouse tucked away from crowds.
The house, although older, was clean and had plenty of towels, dishes, etc. The rooms were decorated nicely. There is a courtyard area by the pool. That area as well as the pool, is shared with a few other units, so it was a unique set up, in that we expected more privacy for what we paid, but didn’t really have it when outside in the pool area. There could be some money saving upgrades, such as replacing the faucets and shower heads, replacing the toilets, and getting an auto shut-off coffee maker. The pool had leaves in it the entire time we were there and very cold. Way too many leaves to look appealing enough to jump in. Overall, the house was fine for what we needed and location was good.
