Let's talk about that amazing balcony! We rented Tim’s Penthouse on VRBO. Deserving of the 5 star reviews! Much better than the pictures online. It's impossible to describe the massive balcony and the views from it. You literally could not get any closer unless you were in the water. And the balcony is MASSIVE! Every room has access to it. And, because it's on a corner, it's very private - even from the other rooms in the unit! Kitchen is fully stocked. New appliances and everything you need to grill, stay in for meals or just have snacks and drinks in hand. This is our first time in Key West and despite loving Duval Street, it is very hard to leave the condo on a beautiful evening to go out. The entire family is really loving to be together and enjoying the amenities, views, and large living room/kitchen to gather. Having the kids (15-18 years) actually wanting to hang with us and us all be together is priceless! Washer and dryer were sooooo convenient. Because we knew there was one in the unit, our family of six traveled with carry-on only for a week in Florida. And, we still overpacked! That's saying a lot coming from a family who usually looks like Lampoons family vacation when we go to Europe with all of our oversized, overstuffed bags! The location is awesome. A bit too far to walk into town if it's crazy hot (and it is!). So, we rented a golf cart and we are just far enough from the crazy downtown but close enough to go back-and-forth whenever we would like. Also, close to Publix to stock up when we need to. And, you are RIGHT ON Smathers Beach! The pool for the property is absolutely massive. One of the best I have ever seen in a condo complex. Right on the beach too! Same with the hot tub. Extra large. Powerful jets. There are also many grills and tables for you to be able to grill and enjoy by the pool. And a gym. The maintenance people, and the security are extremely hospitable. Very welcoming. The shower pressure in the big shower in the master bedroom is amazing after a long day of sunscreen and bug spray. We have our teenagers with us. I sent them for fishing poles and bait and we bought saltwater fishing licenses. (Don't try to fish without them in the Keys!) They have been out on the jetty for hours and hours every day fishing. They are catching sharks and tarpon and smaller fish that they have brought up to eat. Truly an amazing property and well taken care of! We will definitely be back!
