January 2018 After Irma Stay
After hearing about Irma we were concerned about what to expect b I get that we are very familiar with recent hurricanes. The drive from Islamorada South was through the worst hit areas. Trash was piled up on the side of the mHWu 1 almost the entire distance to Key West.Wow, we arrive in Key West and there was virtually now impact visible Naldo on the return trip ALL the trash on the other keys have been removed. I have to give Monroe County and the State of Florida a big Kudos for the enormous job they had getting the Keys in such great shape so quickly.Our stay also benefited from lighter than normal hotel stays , so parking was never a problem the entire month. Never need a reservation fo a meal and never had a wait line. So to be honest it was our best vacation ever and having been to Key West and Islamorada before this was very unusual for January and the traffic flow between the Keys was a breeze.The property was awesome, location is perfect. 10 minute walk to a beautiful Whites Pier. Restaurants everywhere and a grocery nearby although expensive its very convenient. Publix is 10 minutes away, but so is everything elseWe had our own car, but we used Uber a few times, average wait 1 minute so be ready.Best pizza delivery was the top rated on Google and it was a flat $20 best deal on the island. Sint is a Burrito, taco and craft beach place, again sub $20 food but the best I have had anywhere in California or Mexico.Ladeta show must do, great entertainment. We did a play is was a fun night.Breakfast Bannana Cafe roof top, and the pastry shop next door had the best breakfasts. Blue Heaven was OK, maybe over hyped. Schooner Bar best Wings , to be honest there are tons of great food establishments.Great festivals, and something to do every day. Very safe neighborhood and yes you have Iguanas, one big one. Dogs love the yard great privacy and landscaping. Kitchen has all the
Always Sunny at South Street Cottage
My husband an I thoroughly enjoyed our time at SSC - lovely neighborhood and the cottage is super!
Fourth time for a two stay
When we arrived at RENTKEYWEST to check in, Joyce said "welcome home". And, we did feel like we were coming home. South Street is the perfect property to stay in while in Key West. It is a large two bedroom with a lot of living area. It is always in tip top shape. The owners and RENTKEYWEST are constantly addressing maintenance and updating and it shows. Park your car , enter the private retreat, unpack you bags, and you are home. Our favorite spot is the large front porch overlooking a beautiful pool with lush green landscaping. From the pool to the hot tub or relaxing with a steak on the grille, you will love this oasis.
Great Rental Property
This is our 3rd year staying at South St. Cottage. Great location and property. This year the tile floor and refrigerator were new. The kitchen is very well stocked, plenty of closet & storage space, 2 bedroom & 2 bath are great for 2 couples. The pool & outside area is the best part of the rental! A must when staying in Aug. The management is awesome. We had an issue with the washer that was fixed right away. There was a power outage on the island and the outside lights and pool were off schedule. They came out right away and reset them. Highly recommend this property.
We had an absolutely wonderful time!
We had an absolutely wonderful time! We loved it here and being secluded once inside the gates was wonderful! We have already saved this rental for next year!
January in Paradise
We really enjoyed our stay at South Street Cottage. It was in a quiet neighborhood, but close enough to walk or bike to the beach and wonderful restaurants.
Perfect Private Oasis
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home! It’s located in a quiet, well-kept neighborhood with easy parking out front and quick biking access to everything. The home was larger than we expected, was well stocked, and very clean. Even if you never leave the front yard tropical pool oasis, you will not regret this stay. Most definitely would not hesitate to stay again!
Fantastic!
South St Cottage was one of our best rentals ever, and we rent a lot! It was by far the best-stocked home as far as kitchenware, supplies, etc. They thought of EVERYTHING, and it was all very nice quality, not just cheap "rental" items. We were so impressed. The pool is wonderful, the beds were comfortable, plenty of space for parking, a great location...everything we needed. And a fabulous new waterfall rain shower in the primary bath! Extensive artwork collection, too. Again, very nice things as if it were the owner's home and not just a rental. The only cons were that the floors were rather dirty upon arrival, almost as if the cleaning crew had missed them somehow. Also, the deck by the pool had several sections that are a little rotted out and for children or elderly folks could pose a hazard to walk on. We noted the owners have a building permit posted out front where it appears they intend to repair the decking. We discovered, entirely by chance, a drawer at one end of the kitchen/dining table that has a cornucopia of pamphlets, coupons, and other great info about Key West attractions and restaurants—renters should be notified about this treasure so they can benefit from all the good info. So, all in all, would absolutely recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a great, quiet, and well-located stay in KW!Manager's ResponseThank you for your review.

We loved the cottage but would love it if they had a few more things: a better vacuum, cleaning supplies and a mop/bucket instead of just a swiffer and maybe a small battery pack blower for outside since the trees in the back made a big mess and the landscapers only came 2x. Other than those suggestions we loved everything about the place and hope to come back again!
Fantastic cottage … had a wonderful stay.
