**THE SMILING IBIS @ OLD TOWN** Home & Pool Near Duval + LAST KEY SERVICES...

FLEXIBLE, NO-FEE CANCELLATION INCLUDED: Rentals are 100% Refundable until 30 days prior to your arrival!

Traveling to Key West with a group deserves the ultimate vacation rental home: plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy time together, separate rooms and bathrooms to enjoy privacy, a private saltwater pool and of course, outdoor lounge area off street parking for scooters, and bicycles. THE SMILING IBIS checks all of these boxes, and more. Located within walking distance to Duval Street and the Historic Seaport, this gorgeous and modern island home is the premiere accommodation for a group to relax and enjoy the experience of Key West's most upscale vacation getaway.

THE LOCATION...

Imagine your vacation home being just steps in either direction from all of the shops, restaurants, and sites of Duval Street and the Historic Seaport. Take a stroll or ride your bike down to the best of Key West, three blocks down Olivia St to hit local favorites like Croissants de France, Martins, and Nine-One-Five. Just a few blocks down Windsor Lane and you'll be at BO's Fish Wagon or Schooner Wharf.

THE LIVING AREA AND KITCHEN...

THE SMILING IBIS welcomes you with bright, tropical colors, tall ceilings, and luxurious modern furnishings. Floor to ceiling windows allow natural light to pour into the first floor all day. The living area boasts a gigantic 60-inch flat screen Smart HDTV, which you can watch from the comfort of the plush living room furniture or the kitchen/dining areas thanks to the open living plan of the first floor. The kitchen is fully equipped with state of the art appliances and all of the tools and utensils you will need to prepare a meal at home when taking a break from the decadent restaurant options of Key West. There is also a wet bar complete with the full bar set up for happy hour your way. The dining area has seating for 6, with 3 additional seats at the kitchen bar.

THE PRIVATE SALTWATER POOL...

Through the sliding glass doors of the living area is one of the highlights of this home: the private pool area. Fully fenced for privacy and surrounded by lush tropical greenery, this will undoubtedly be a primary gathering place for your group. The comfortable chaise lounges can be pulled into the sun or the shade, and they sit right beside the heat-optional saltwater pool that is great for a dip on a hot day. A full outdoor dining set can comfortably sit 6. The backyard is complete with a large propane grill for an outdoor BBQ by the pool.

All Hype
Property was located great - place was clean-no Tv, no Internet,one shower hot water valve, leak under main floor bathroom sink—it took a full day to get internet and tv working-had to strongly suggest that they send someone to check it out the second day-had to leave messages with concierge or property manager-heard sorry-too many times—person answering main office actually said they would eventually get to the tv and internet-we were only there 3 days—for the price—not anywhere near the level of service we expected—its not about things that go wrong—its is how people react and cure a problem.and their video they send is out of Hollywood —all hype—either too busy or poorly trained-and it should have been checked out before we checked in.

Great VRBO! Beautiful property, great location!
Just a wonderful property - in great shape and well taken care of, plus well stocked with all the things you can need! Only negative comment is the pool is lacking - picture are not true to form - very small and doesn’t get much sun. Not a deal breaker but it was very disappointing.

Family Adventure
Smiling Ibris was ideal for our family of 7. This is a great townhouse and very conducive to a guests who enjoy cooking/eating in and relaxing around the pool. Market is on the corner, liquor store is just a couple of blocks away and Faustos Food Palace is an easy walk. We had a few issues that Danny took care of for us. We'd return.

The most unpleasant experience in my rental history
I just had the most unpleasant rental experience in my life, and I've rented at least 15 luxury rental homes in the past 6 years. Hard to put the experience into words: I asked for an 1 hour extension as I had to jump on a work call, so I couldn't get to Danny's(the property managers) reply saying we can't. A couple of minutes before 10 am, the time we were supposed to check out by, Danny comes into the house screaming at us in the most unpleasant way imaginable kicking us out(I was just wrapping up the work call). He was treating us like total s***, giving the feeling that he had no incentive to be pleasant to us now that he got our money. Danny was even screaming at my 60 year old parents - we all felt threatened and in danger, and I'm not saying that lightly(even considering a lawsuit for the first time in my life). I was trying to calm Danny down to explain that we are packing and getting out immediately, but we couldn't even get the time to hurry with the terror we we experiencing. Seemed like he couldn't control himself. We left at 10:20(20 minutes late). I understand that we might have caused an inconvenience, but it was miles from warranting the reaction we got. I seriously warn anyone dealing with Danny to be careful and avoid dealing with Last Key altogether for this reason. There's simply no need to risk an experience like the one we had, which casted a dark cloud over our entire vacation. Especially, after paying the amount they charge.

Lovely little townhouse. Away from busy Duval street but within walking distance from everything. Had a maintenance issue first day which was immediately resolved . Great amenities. Pool was very nice touch. Great for three couples. Note that the pool area backyard is not very private as you can hear everything going on next door.
