Conch Casa Grande

Everything was wonderful

We stayed for one week during the Thanksgiving break and it was fantastic! The home was absolutely beautiful and fit our needs perfectly with 4 children. We even had Thanksgiving dinner there and it was like we were in our own home. We will definitely be returning to stay in the future.

This property was even nicer in person than in the photos. A perfect family vacation with plenty of room to spread out. Cooking in that amazing well appointed kitchen was a delight.

We stayed in Seventh Heaven, which was managed by Last Key Realty, and beside this home. We changed properties because this one sold and was being renovated. The home was clean and very nice. The property manager, Alice, was very communicative and responsive during the whole stay. Everything we could need and want was provided for us. The neighborhood was within walking distance to Duval Street. I highly recommend Last Key Realty for vacation rentals. They went above and beyond for us and we had a great time.

Fantastic stay. Property management was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the week.

Leslie G. - Posted: 4/19/2022

The location is within walking distance to everything in old town so it's perfect for exploring Key West. The house was large enough to handle our entire family (3 separate groups). There was enough space so we did not feel crowded. There was always a place to go if you wanted some alone time. The house is beautiful and yet comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

STEVIE S. - Posted: 4/4/2022

My family (7people) traveled to Key West to celebrate a 40th Birthday. The home is lovely, very well maintained and Shell was so very kind and helpful. There was plenty of room for everyone, one bedroom on main floor and 4 on second floor (about 17 stairs). Nice quiet neighborhood. We hope to stay there again in the future.

Thank you for choosing to vacation with Last Key Realty! We hope to host you again next time you're in Key West.

We truly enjoyed the stay at Conch Case Grande. The house was perfect for our group in a good location with all the proper amenities. The house had a wonderful feel to it and there were no issues. The house was spacious, roomy and very accommodating. We were a little nervous about some of the reviews but the issues were minor and we felt added to the ambiance of the rental. The property team was awesome especially Shel, he did an amazing job and the team as a whole was great. The only caution would be the neighbor, a little touchy at night but not terrible and we were a little loud a little late so could not blame her. Security was very kind, and this was the first night when we had late arrival and after late night visit to Duval street. There were no issues after that, well at least no aditional security visits :-), totally recommend.

Wonderful, spacious, beautifully decorated home right in the heart of Key West! This home is perfect for a large family/friend gathering. The 5 large master suites with their own barbering gives everyone space and privacy. You are in walking distance of everything! Tip: just don’t forget the key if you’re going to be out past 6pm!!

Jordan A. - Posted: 6/2/2021

Excellent overall.

Brett G. - Posted: 5/5/2021

Thank you for choosing to vacation with Last Key Realty! We hope we get the opportunity to host you again next time you're in Key West.

We were 5 adults and 3 children (ages 5, 2 1/2, and 4 months) The house was wonderfully suited to accommodate all of us. It is spacious and open, bright and cheery. The french doors across the back open onto the heated pool, which is comfortably 4' deep throughout. The bedrooms (4 on the second floor and one on the first floor) are all en suite and were stocked with toilet paper and bars of soap. The kitchen had all the essentials...maybe a blender would have been nice to have (if I'm to offer criticism). Also, the oven had broken just prior to our arrival, but the rental agency purchased a countertop oven, which worked out just fine! The backyard BBQ was also nice to have. The porch was a great place to spend time outdoors. One thing to point out: This house is also for sale, so may not be available in perpetuity. I do hope that whoever purchases it will restore it to its previous splendor, as there is a lot of work needed (ie. floors, kitchen, bathrooms) The neighborhood: This private, gated community oozes with charm! I personally wouldn't stay in any other Key West neighborhood...seriously. It is quiet and serene; yet only a couple of blocks from the hustle and bustle of Duval Street.

Jacquie C. - Posted: 3/19/2021

Great location. Great house. Wonderful customer service from the rental agency.

Susan R., Cape Charles - Posted: 12/14/2020

The house delivered everything that our group was looking for, the Truman Annex is very relaxing and close to everything

mark t. - Posted: 8/13/2020

Great location. Quiet central neighborhood. Beautiful home with massive indoor entertaining area off kitchen. Loved this house!

daniel b. - Posted: 7/7/2020

Our family of 7 stayed at this beautiful house over Thanksgiving and we are coming back next year...if that tells you anything. The house is well appointed, the bedrooms and baths are comfortable and large, the great room is big enough to have different conversations, and the pool was heated and inviting. The Truman Annex is lovely with very large houses, manicured streets and very private, but only blocks away fro the action on Duval St.

Judy C. - Posted: 12/4/2019

This property is amazing and well located to the main streets in Key West. Close enough to walk everywhere easily but far enough for peace and quiet at the house and by the beautiful pool. The Kitchen and living area is amazing open concept with lots of room for all the guests to be together very comfortably. All the bedrooms have separate bathrooms and king beds - very comfortable. Wonderful stay - would stay here again!

Eric A. - Posted: 6/20/2019

The place was perfect for our group celebration. There was plenty of space for everyone and the pool got used every day - rain or shine. It was so convenient to walk to great bars and restaurants . You just can’t go wrong with this rental.

Karen H. - Posted: 5/7/2019

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful home which was situated in an ideal position and had everything you could possibly need to make your holiday a dream. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting to be in the heart of old town Key West, Just fabulous!

Sylvia P. - Posted: 4/22/2019

This house was a perfect choice for our family of 8 to experience Key West. Standing in the kitchen the first morning while all still asleep felt like home. Everyone having their own in suite full bathroom made shower/getting ready time a breeze. The pool is a bit small for 6 little ones but that didn’t stop them from swimming every day and the location and safety of the private, gated community can not be beat! This house set a high bar that did not disappoint!

Mikkel S. - Posted: 7/25/2018

There were eight of us, mostly retired and we had a wonderful stay at 58 Front Street. The Truman "Little White House" is across the street with easy access and Mallory Square is just down the block. Fausto's grocery store is three blocks away and you don't really need a car to go to it, but it helps. One of us rented a car and we used it a couple of times, there is a car port. Definitely visit the Little White House and Mallory Square. We also enjoyed the Jet Ski Tour around the island. I found the Dry Tortugas snorkeling trip just so-so. The Hemingway house was great! The sunsets were outstanding. We used the swimming pool at the house a lot. The house is very roomy, well taken care of, and well decorated and Last Key realty were very attentive and took care of anything we had a problem with, which wasn't much. Well worth five stars, we had a great time! The Mahi tacos at Viva Saloon were excellent and the BBQ at Charlie Mac's was good. Don't order the Mahi-Mahi at El Siboney, they don't know how to cook it, mine was thin and dry because they cut the skin off and had no sauce, cardinal sins! But the other dishes we had there were good. The shrimp Po' boys at Caroline's Café were good also.

Andy M., 99 Tree Crest Cir, The Woodlands, Texas 77381, USA - Posted: 4/8/2018

Perfect house for our family. Quiet but close to the action. Will stay again.

Cindy B. - Posted: 1/7/2018

We love Conch Casa Grande! The house is better than anyone could try to explain online and the service provided by Shel of Last Key Reality was magnificent. Thank you for a great stay and hopefully we can return again for our 45th anniversary. Thanks again!

Gloria C., Dallas, TX - Posted: 9/24/2017

Great retreat for family or group of friends. Great house, conveniently located in Truman Annex, close to all activities. No need for car, just rent bikes! Shel was great as our property manager. He met us on arrival, provided us insights on restaurants as well as a special welcome gift. Also, he was there to see us depart. House was as described, clean and well-maintained. Enjoyed our week in Key west! We would rent house and use Last Key Reality again!

Donald B. - Posted: 9/1/2017

From start to finish, the property manager Shel was amazing. So helpful and attentive! The house was beautiful and so was the neighborhood. We had tons of space in this house. Great location, we were close enough to walk to the restaurants and shops. Would highly recommend this house and this management team! Great job

Kimberly S. - Posted: 8/21/2017

Service was 5 star!

Mark G., Raleigh, nc - Posted: 7/9/2017

Had a wonderful time in this home. Shel was a phone call away if anything was needed. Awesome vacation.

Florence v. - Posted: 6/29/2017

The house was very spacious and worked well for our family of seven. The pool was good sized and heated. Overall, we had a great experience. Excellent location, quiet. Shel was very helpful and attentive. No problems encountered during our stay. Would rent again. Bill G

William G. - Posted: 6/13/2017

Shel was always present to help with any problems that arose. He is terrific. He gets a five star. While the layout suited us overall the house is tired and the amenities mediocre.

Anonymous - Posted: 4/19/2017

From meeting Shel the property manager on arrival to departure, we were impressed by management throughout the process. The house has all the necessary conveniences for large groups and is well appointed for cooking in or entertaining, in a peaceful, controlled neighborhood.

Brad C., North Palm Beach, Florida - Posted: 3/20/2017

This house and neighborhood was beautiful, with plenty of space for everyone. The location was perfect for everything Key West has to offer, you could walk to it all. Shel, our contact was wonderful and very informative. Could not have been happier.

Barbara D. - Posted: 11/30/2016

We chose Conch Casa Grande for the fantastic location and great amount of space for our group of seven , and we were not disappointed! The home is huge and well equipped for a rental property. The bedrooms are large and offered plenty of privacy, the pool and outdoor space are beautiful, the open concept kitchen and living room are great for entertaining. The location is quiet, but in very easy walking or biking distance to everything. Shel and Mandy at Last Key made everything a breeze; we can't say enough good things about the service. All of our questions were answered promptly, the check-in was painless, our bikes were delivered on time and our kayaking excursion booked as promised. We all agreed this was a perfect place for a group vacation!

kara s. - Posted: 11/14/2016

We loved the home. It has room for a large family reunion and each person had their own bedroom and bathroom. We had no problems and loved the pool. Shel was very accommodating and helpful. Thanks for a great trip!

Carl B. - Posted: 7/3/2016

A wonderful spacious property that was ideal for our annual family Holiday trip in paradise! Dennis @ LKR was nothing but accommodating and a pleasure to work with!!

Trenton W. - Posted: 1/28/2016

A wonderful spacious property that was ideal for our annual family trip!!

Trenton W. - Posted: 1/28/2016

Walking distance to all activities.

Robert C. - Posted: 12/31/2015

Outstanding property. Had lots of room for my whole family. Space where each couple could get away by themselves and excellent community space where we could all hang out together. The location is amazing. I highly recommend this place.

Steve T. - Posted: 8/18/2015

Beautiful home. We are from Indiana and met our dear friends from Texas and California here to spend a week. I was told several time that this was a great find. It met and superceded our expectations. This house was perfect for us. Dennis made sure everything was just right. I would highly recommend this home.

Tammy R. - Posted: 7/31/2015

Really a place where theres room for a big family or group and all the amenities to spend time just chilling. The Trumman Annex has some of the nicest homes you'll see, the property manager Dennis made absolutely certain we had what we needed and was accessible for any small special requests to make the stay one to remember ..... I'd highly recommend another stay

Kevin G., Bohemia, Ny - Posted: 7/27/2015

This was where we chose to have a quiet wedding. IT WAS PERFECT! Dennis was at the property to greet us and on call 24/7. Would call on Last Key Realty any time we wanted to rent any property in Key West. Great people to work with. This home is spacious, well-maintained and very clean. Convenient to all the fun places. Pictures are right on.... As I said...it was perfect! Thanks Dennis. Appreciate your service.

Nancy S. - Posted: 7/19/2015

Very nice home in the finest neighborhood of Key West short walking distance to Duval and easy bike ride to everything! Only issue is that the home can handle many more people than the 8 person maximum. Used it as a base camp for our dad'd birthday where we easily had 20 people over for dinner and night time activities.

Bob B. - Posted: 6/24/2015

Property was clean and the house was huge. Shel from Last Key Realty went out of his way to make sure we were all taken care of. Pool water was very warm and really nice for a February swim. Kids loved it. Great location near all the downtown Key West areas yet secluded enough to get away from it all as well. Great vacation.

Ben G. - Posted: 5/7/2015

Key West is one of my favorite places in the U.S. and now that we have found this treasure, it will be hard to stay away. The house is beautiful and so convenient to everything "Key West". Making things better were the people at Last Key Realty (Dennis and Shel in particular). They were there at arrival and took care of everything we needed. No matter what your reasoning for coming to Key West, this house is a can't miss. The luxury is well worth the price.

BB A. - Posted: 3/7/2015

We had a great time at Conch Casa Grande! We had three extended families and there was ample room for everyone. Great location and easy walk to Duval and Mallory Square.

Dave T., Lake Zurich, IL - Posted: 1/27/2015

House was beautiful and well equipped with all we needed for a week long stay for a large crowd. Could have been a little cleaner; bugs in bathroom. Great location; bikes highly recommended. We may have missed this, but instructions on how to use the washer/dryer and light switches could be useful. The only other thing we needed was food storage containers (for leftovers - if cooking!).

Rebecca M. - Posted: 1/17/2015

The property was spectacular and even nicer than the online pictures. We had 12 family members for Thanksgiving and there was more than enough room to give everyone the space they needed. The property manager, Shel, was very attentive to all of our needs. We would highly recommend this lovely home and look forward to having more memories there in the future.

John R. - Posted: 12/9/2014

This was a great place to stay. It was close to all the action on Duval. The pool was just the right size for us to relax in after hours. Having 6 couples, we had plenty of room and each room having it's own bathroom worked out well. Shel was great to work with. I would recommend it for a great vacation.

Lynda H. - Posted: 11/28/2014

this was our second year renting a home in Truman Annex. Shel is amazing and always available for questions. From the tour on check in throught the whole stay he goes above and beyond. Would definitley recommend this home. Perfect for large groups or large families.

Deidra S. - Posted: 11/3/2014

The service from the staff was excellent. Anything I needed, all I had to do is call and it was taken care of right away. High marks to this company for top notch customer service and we would most certainly stay in this wonderful home again.

D P. - Posted: 8/31/2014

this property is everything they say it is and more. the property manager Shel Segel was very helpful and accommodation to all of our request. I recommend this place when in Key West.

O J. - Posted: 8/14/2014

The house is great for a large group. Perfectly located in the center of old town It has all the amenities you need and then some.

Shawn C., Key West - Posted: 8/5/2014

This property is simply fantastic. We had a group of 6 people and the spacious property still felt like being in a Mansion. All of the rooms are well appointed with fine furnishing. The kitchen was to die for, well equipped and large enough to accommodate all of us with more that enough room to eat, sit, and chat. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. It is well worth the price. The property manager 'Shel' took care of all of our needs efficiently and with a smile. You have parking in the rear for two cars. The neighborhood is gorgeous with lots of trees and flowers. The swimming pool is large enough for laps or plenty of room for relaxing.

O J. - Posted: 8/5/2014

What a great place for our group! we rented 3 properties through Lat Key Realty to handle our large group of 30 and this house was our base. All that stayed here loved the accommodations. Each bedroom has an en-suite bath and is very large which is very unusual for Key West. The location is perfect, just two blocks to the action of Duval and a short bike ride to the beach at Fort Zach. Had a huge dinner catered by El Siboney the first night and then walked to sunset to see the Cat Man. Could not have been a better place to stay. Shel took care of every thing we needed. We hope to spend many more weeks here in the coming years.

Michelle S. - Posted: 7/18/2014

We had a comfortable and relaxing time. We enjoyed our stay in this home. Its pictures do not do it justice. We had only one issue that the last bedroom did not have a bathroom. Last Key Realty was more than accomodating with helping our group find alternative accomodations for our extra large group. We are more than happy to use them again.

Christian P. - Posted: 7/11/2014

We (6 couples) stayed at this property for a week to celebrate all the guys 50th birthdays. The house was enormous and each couple had their own beautifully decorated room with bathroom. The living area is very comfortable and the kitchen is well equiped. The pool area is also comfortable although the pool does look bigger in the pictures than it really is but it suited our needs perfectly, quick dips when the heat was on(which was every day). The porches overlooking the front and back yards were nice for sitting and relaxing. Everything that we wanted to do was well within walking distance and even if we couldn't walk the taxis were quick and relatively cheap. Shel was fabulous, meeting us on day one to go over everything in the house and giving us suggestions for restaurants and things to do. He stopped by midway through the week to make sure everything was ok and stopping by on departure day to say good bye with hugs and handshakes. I have rented many homes in the past and have never been treated this way, as if we had known each other forever. I will definitely be using Last Key Resort again and look forward to working with Shel again also. Will recommend them to others too. We will be back again no doubt about it. Thanks Shel for everything!!

Meg M. - Posted: 7/3/2014

We had a magical week in this amazing home. It is spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We had such a wonderful visit with family and friends. It is close to Duval Street and Fort Zacharay Taylor. This house has it all!!

Donna G. - Posted: 6/26/2014

Absolutely loved the house. Shel was wonderful greeting us and getting us settled into the house. We will definitely be back

Diane E. - Posted: 6/18/2014

This was not a "planned in advance" stay at this location for us. We were a family of 13 with ages ranging from 2 - 70. We were coming form a south Florida resort that failed us completely and needed a place fast. From the moment we contacted CONCH CASA GRANDE crew to moment we left it was pure pleasure. They quickly understood our situation and since the location was available made arrangements for us to come in late that night. The house is set up perfectly for relaxing, luxurious family hanging out. This house is ROOMY. Every room is big- kitchen/dining area, bedrooms, bathrooms and even a well stocked library which has a full size office desk and couch. All appliances are late models in good working order. The A/C was functioning as desired. A bedroom with a private bath on the ground floor was perfect for the elderly couple in our group. The roomy play area on the third floor is great for the little ones and keeps them out of the living room for some adult quite time. While there is no "lawn yard" there is an amazing pool with a patio. The pool is quite large for a private KW pool. The house is in the Annex...so don't book a frat party here. This is a quite family/adult setting... a very nice one. You can walk to town but you don't "hear" town. I have been coming to KW since the 80's but this was the first time with a huge segment of my family. When you travel - the actual dwellings you stay can impact your overall trip in a negative, positive or neutral way. This house was absolutely positive!!!! Thanks to the CONCH CASA GRANDE crew for a wonderful KW stay!!! AP from Charleston, SC.

Alex P. - Posted: 5/30/2014

We really enjoyed our time in this beautiful home. The accommodation's are excellent, and the location is perfect. Trust me you can't go wrong staying here, and Shel the property manager could not be more fun to work with.

Andy W. - Posted: 4/22/2014

I couldn't have asked for a better overall experience with renting a place in Key West, starting with the very first phone call I made on this property. The folks at Last Key Realty were incredibly helpful with my last-minute request to rent the property. It was very easy to get in touch with them, and they were very understanding and accommodating to our special situation. They were in touch with me by e-mail or phone at basically every step of the process. Shel was an awesome resource once we got to the house. He knew the house and area very well, took the time to show us all the small details of the house essential to a perfect stay (A/C controls, pool heat, lights, entertainment system, etc.) and made sure he answered all of our questions before leaving. I could tell he genuinely cared about us being comfortable and enjoying our time in Key West. As for the house itself, it is second to none. Large, clean, well-decorated, comfortable, located close to restaurants, shopping, and nightlife...I really can't think of a single negative aspect about the place. Even the neighbors were very friendly and told me not to hesitate to ask them if we needed anything.

Ryan B. - Posted: 4/9/2014

What a wonderful property for a large group or family. Comfortable beds, plenty of bathrooms and a well stocked kitchen made our stay delightful. Everyone enjoyed the heated pool. It is in a wonderful peaceful location but close to all the things Key West is famous for. We were greater by the property manager who could not have been more gracious and helpful; suggesting restaurants and good shopping. I have already recommended this property to other people. Shel Segal did a great job as the property representative. The property was clean and neat upon arrival and they made it easy to leave accommodating our family's diverse needs.

Joe L. - Posted: 3/27/2014

Very knowledgeable and pleasant property manager, Shel. Centrally located house yet in quiet, private locale. Never felt like guests, but rather felt like we were the homeowner. Highly recommend this property to discriminating travelers.

Murray S., Wilmington, Delaware - Posted: 3/14/2014

This was the best vacation EVER. when we arrived shel was there to meet us with a smile and a hug, he showed us around this beautiful home, that was ours, for a week. He took the time to show us highlighted places to go and great places to eat, one of the favorites was The Blue Heaven. Most everything was in walking distance. Our guest were so taken away by the size of the house and where it was located. No one had a bad word to say for a week and coming from New York THAT is so unbelievable!!!! I was so sad to see this holiday end and can't wait to see other properties that Shel has because for us this is the company to go with. Im sure all their properties are 10 star places and have no worries about where and who to go to when having holiday in Key West. I only wish i booked it for a month one week is NOT enough time for me to enjoy all that there is to do in this beautiful town. Thank you Shel for everything looking forward to seeing you again real soon For those who are about to stay at Conch Casa Grande enjoy as much as you can time goes by toooooo fast and i hope that you love this house as much as we did, i feel like it WAS my home.

Jan M., saugerties,ny - Posted: 2/13/2014

This property was fantastic. The location was perfect, the amenities were outstanding, and there was plenty of space for everyone. Our property manager, Shel went above and beyond with his service and attentiveness. There are not enough words to describe how wonderful the property is and the outstanding service Shel provided to us throughout our stay.

Nellie B. - Posted: 10/31/2013

We stayed at casa conch grande for two weeks in august and couldnt have been more pleased. Shel did such a good job and Everything about the house was great. Rented a couple scooters and zipped around key west which made parking much easier than having to rent a car. House is great for large parties Have been renting houses for the past ten years in the keys and this was by far the best ...special thanks to shel...it was like we had known him for 10 years even though it was the first time we had all met him! We will be back Scoggins and syfrett families

stephen S., Cleveland - Posted: 9/25/2013

An excellent property, everything we expected and more. 13 adults and a 9 yr. old, room for all, both sleeping quarters and spacious living areas--indoors and out. Private and quiet, great location. Shel was a great help; he handles the guests and the property, promptly and skillfully, as needed

Ron E. - Posted: 8/11/2013

Three generations of our family just returned from a wonderful week at Conch Casa Grande in the Truman Annex. The home is extremely large with 7 bedrooms each with a private bathroom which was great for our large group. It is located close to Duval St. and is walking distance to Mallory Square and most of the "must see "areas of Key West. We rented bikes for the week, no car necessary! The living room/dining/kitchen area is huge and perfect for family gatherings and meals. It opens to the back patio and pool area which is private and a wonderful spot to spend a lazy afternoon relaxing. A large grill is provided which got a lot of use during our stay. We loved the house and never felt cramped or in each others way, even though we had a couple of very rainy days the house was so lovely no one minded just staying in! Our Customer Service Coordinator was Shel, and as earlier reviews had indicated he is a great guy. Very helpful upon our arrival and during our visit he was available to answer any questions we had, always remembering everyone's name even though there were 12 of us ! (How does he do it?) If you have a large group and are interested in an elegant, yet comfortable family home close to the action but quiet and relaxed then I highly recommend this property.

Marlene P. - Posted: 6/8/2013

Thank you for this wonderful review! We are so happy that Conch Casa Grande was a good fit for your family trip. With a large group of all ages it is certainly a plus to have private bathrooms throughout and plenty of space. We hope you had a wonderful time and that you will and the whole family will come back and see us again in the future.

Family reunion - 9 adults and 8 small children (ages 1/2 to 8 years old) We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was spacious and very attractive. So many nice features. Everything worked properly. Location was convenient to all the activities and attractions we were interested in, mostly within walking distance, even with the children. Area was quiet at night. Our property coordinator was helpful and very accommodating. He made the arrival and departure better experiences than we expected. He also checked in during the week to insure that all was going well. We would recommend this property and would even stay here again.

Gary H. - Posted: 5/9/2013

The Conch Casa description was listed accurately regarding being close to everything in old town. We utilized the laundry facilities in the house and the kitchen with the extra refrigerator was perfect for our group of 14. The pool wasn't large but it certainly met our needs. The interior of the home was beautiful. The hardwood floors and furniture was easy and comfortable. The 6 master suite bedrooms were perfect allowing each couple to have their own bathroom. The only downside to the home was the small stairway to the third floor which made taking suitcases up and down more difficult. The third floor suite has a queen bed which felt small compared to the king beds in every other bedroom. We experienced a difficulty with the third floor bathroom but it was resolved the next day. Shel provided us with friendly customer service and support. We loved being close to Fort Zachery beach and enjoyed the sunsets there. Music on the Key was terrific as was the food. Our favorites for music was The Green Parrot and for food, the incredible Brazilian restaurant, Blue Heaven, The Creparie, and Kermits for the frozen key lime pie on a stick and other goodies. The people in our group who toured the Hemingway House were disappointed in their guide but loved the Conch Train with all the information it gave. We loved renting bicycles for the week which allowed us to really get out. We did make a trip to the Community Hospital ER as one of our party fell off the bike and hit her head. We had good and friendly service and fortunately, no lasting issues.

Mary L., Sunnyvale, Ca - Posted: 5/5/2013

We celebrated a family reunion in this house with 6 children and 8 adults, and two small dogs. It was perfect! Great neighborhood, close to everything, quiet. House was plenty big with big rooms and lots of living space for group gathering. A separate den with a big TV on the first floor was great for the kids. With 7 large bedroom suites, there was even an extra. The pool was small but heated and cleaned regularly. The property is fenced in. Our property manager,Shel, was great and looking after our every need. You can't go wrong with this spacious, modern, and comfortable house in Old Town Key West.

Ann B., - - Posted: 2/28/2013

Our large extended family spent the Month of December this lovely home. Shel was, as in past visits, available, professional and efficient during the entire stay. This support makes the stay a worry free event. The home has large bedrooms with private baths so all of our guests had their privacy. The office –library was also a bonus for the few who had to do some work during their stay. Comfortably appointed with lots of open space and seating for 12 at dinner makes this best for a large group. The location is quiet but within a short walk to Old Town highlights.

My family and friends (the Thanksgiving gang of 14) find interesting destinations to spend the holiday week together. We come from all of the country to enjoy this holiday time together. It is difficult to find a house large enough to accommodate the group. We need a minimum of 7 bedrooms. When I found this house on HomeAway, it looked like the perfect place. And it was!! It is located near all of the action of Key West yet sheltered in the Truman Annex from street noise and the wonderfulness of Duval Street and Mallory Square activities. We rented bikes for the week and were able to explore all of the interests of the island without the traffic and parking headaches. The house has five master bedroom suites, a sixth bedroom with a bath on the 3rd floor that also has a large loft area with futons to sleep two or more. Ideal for retreating to ones own space after a full day of activities and frivolity. The house has all of the amenities one needs for a week away from home. TVs for all and a DVD and library room for those that wanted another activity. The biggest asset of the house is the layout of the first floor. The kitchen is open to the dining and living area providing a perfect environment for all of us to be together eating, drinking, laughing, playing guitar and singing until our sides (and bellies) hurt!! There was room to dance as well as have a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner for 16 seated at tables comfortably spaced in room. This room also has a wall of french doors and windows high to the ceiling that extend the room out to the pool and enclosed patio area. The pool was heated and the kids from the cold northeast relished the time they played in the sunshine and pool. We were greeted by our Guest Services Manager, Shel who welcomed us as if we were old friends, remembering our names at first introduction (remember there were 14 of us!). When there were a few issues needing resolution, Shel immediately took care of things ensuring that our stay would be perfect from the beginning. Not only was he efficient and professional, his warm smile and sincerity was an immediate indication to us that this week would be perfect. Shel was a definite contributor to our wonderful week. The house as advertised is accurate. It is very clean and as I mentioned at the start, a location not more perfect can be found. We are already talking about returning to this house and Key West. We will look for Shel to greet us.

I rented this house for my 40th birthday, and had several friends and family pass through during my ten days there. All have said this was one of their best vacations. The house was very welcoming, and spacious enough for everyone to have some privacy and to be comfortable. The location was perfect, and the pool was great! Shel was our guest services person. He was awesome in providing direction on how to navigate the area....restaurants that weren't too touristy, stores, etc. He was very responsive, took pleasure in walking us through the house, and just an overall great guy. His help made the experience even better!

Through a stroke of luck, I secured this wonderful home for my family and friends. It could not have been more perfect. It is located in a beautiful safe neighborhood just a short jaunt to all the hot spots and the sunset celebration each day. With such a big group, we chose to cook in each night. The kitchen was very well equipped. Gas grill was great. We gave the coffee pot a big work out, too. The kitchen and dining/living area faces a wall of windows and the sun shining through the beautiful pink flowers over the pool each morning was to die for. I still close my eyes and think about it. Rachel, our guest services contact, was very attentive to our needs. She could not have been any better. The house was all I could have asked for, too. My family and friends said this was the most relaxed and enjoyable vacation they have had in a long time and I can say the house was a big part of that. And I will have to say, we all thought we looked so much better in this great house. You will not go wrong with this property and I so hope things work out for us to get back again next year. King beds, great bathrooms, plenty of tvs, clean, neat, and well appointed, it made Key West the perfect place to have fun, and we certainly did that. And..the internet connection was smoking fast. My future son-in-law owns an internet business and he was very impressed with the speed. Plenty of pool towels in a basket by the door, sunscreen, bug spray, flashlights, two refrigerators (for that extra beer), like I said, attention to details. We will be back!

The house was perfect! Just what we were looking for. Plenty of room for the entire crew to eat together and watch football. Quiet neighborhood, but close to town. House was well maintained, very clean and organized. No clutter and beautifully decorated. Would recommend house to friends and family and rent again next year. Thanks

My large family stayed here through New Year's and it was awesome. The place was spotless when we arrived. There are not many homes as big as this in Old Town and everyone appreciated the fact that they had their own private full bathroom attached to each bedroom. There is a huge hang out area next to the open kitchen, which then opens to the pool. The house is only 2 blocks from Duval Street and only 3 blocks from the grocery store so it's perfect for impromptu strolls or snack runs. Rachel, our rental contact, was awesome and checked in a few times to make sure that all was well and we were enjoying ourselves. One bonus: no bugs! We have rented in Old Town at least 4 times and every place had an issue with teeny ants...but not this place. Worth every penny you'll spend for priceless happy memories.

AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL VACATION RENTAL......just PERFECT! This lovely immaculate home accomodated our family of 7 very comfortably. From our 92 year old Matriach Mother to the "kids" 23 and 27......each and everyone in our party gave CONCH CASA GRANDE an A+! The location is excellent and within walking distance of all attractions and the beach. Truman Anex is a peaceful enclave with lush gardens surrounding each home. We could not have been more pleased with our accomodations. A sincere THANK YOU to Chris and Sharon for making each and every day....week by week.....perfect! Kind regards, Faith E. Wilbur
