Fantastic ocean views

The condo was clean but did need updating. And a few repairs. Fridge leaked microwave needs fixed but does work. Some electrical outlets did not work. No answer when calling the property manager. But don’t get me wrong. We had the time of our life in Key West.

Two Old Love Birds

My husband and I visit Key West every year. We don’t go to frequent Duval Street we go for the warmth of the sun, artist fairs, sunsets, our favorite restaurants and our favorite shops. My husband does go fishing with the guys once or twice. But we come back and feel as though we’ve been in paradise. When your husband is a farmer it does really seem like paradise 😂

Great view and fantastic stay

Love this place from the community pool and hot tub, to the fact that it is gated, you will feel very safe. And waking up seeing the postcard view of the beach is priceless. Unit was perfect and didn’t feel small for all 5 adults to feel comfortable. Owner is awesome and was very accommodating.

View are like a postcard

Gotta say this place is actually bigger than you may think. Clean and it fit all five adults comfortably, the pool is nice and is open year round and has a hot tub beside it. They have a closet that has beach supplies and we used the chairs in that to sit at the beach. The owner was very gracious and very nice to work with. We became friends with a few permanent residents and they were so nice to us as well. Slower lifestyle and I like it or you can drive downtown and be in the hustle and bustle but the location is perfect for us.Definitely need to come back!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Carol Dunnigan

We visited Key West in 2001 and fell in love with our 'American Carribbean Island'. We are now retired and enjoy vacationing every February. We invite you to La Brisa, our 'home away from home' to experience all that Key West has to offer. We have found that the apartment is great for the two of us and has plenty of room when our family visits. We love the luxury of dining on the terrace-the view is just spectacular!

Why they chose this property

We chose Key West as our vacation location because it within a gated community, is across the street from Smather's Beach, and yet it is situated in a quieter part of Key West. Duval Street is only 2 miles away and can be accessed by, foot, bike, electric car, public bus (stop is in front of the gate) and a wide selection of ubers and taxis. The next property in this area is the new Margueritaville Hotel. It is here that you can slip away to enjoy dinner or a drink without needing any transportation.

The island is only 2x4 miles; however it offers everything you could want in an island vacation. Everyone in our family (including grandma, our children and their children) make wonderful memories in Key West.

What makes this property unique

LaBrisa is a gated community located across the street from Smather's Beach (voted #6 of Florida's top 10 beaches). You can actually stand on the terrace and see the rest of your family enjoying the beach. There is plenty of parking within the gated community to insure a safe vacation. Everything is right there; food vendors, chair rentals, parasailing, sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, jet skiing, volleyball. A 4 mile walking and biking path runs along the beach and the ocean shore. The heated saltwater pool and hot tub are right there; plenty of lounge chairs both in and out of the sun. It is open 24 hours/day. Nothing beats a swim and jacuzzi on a warm night! A newly refinished tennis court is also on site. Getting down town is easy; a bus stops right outside the gate; it is a 20 minute walk and a 10 minute bike ride.
