Having to go get keys and password at a different location is an inconvenience. Once we got to Century 21, we were told that we didn’t have to go there for pick, that we could have gone straight to the rental . The keys and passcodes were at the rental location. Apparently the owner and the Century 21, who services the place are not on the same page. Different information was given to us and we made a trip unnecessarily. Oh also there was a conflict with the check-in time. The owner said 2pm and Century 21 said 4pm. We didn’t have a vehicle so it was a Huge Inconvenience. The place needs updates but was clean. For 4 days it was it was decent. Would I stay here again? Yes I would!

Fantastic view

Stay was great. Weather marvelous. Location and view, exceptional. Place could use some updating. Outreach to owner was less than expected. The day before checkout, I wanted clarity on key drop off and received no response. On day of checkout, I asked again and received no response. When dropping keys at designated area, doors were lockrd and no lockbox. I had to go back to the unit to leave keys, and still nothing from owners. It was disappointing.

Nice location, beautiful view. Enjoyed

Good location for us. 2 mile walk to Duval St. uber easily accessible. Grocery Store, sandwich shop, Mexican restaurant, and sports bar a few blocks away. Check in required us to go to different location to pick up keys. A negative for us. Also air conditioner would not cool below 78 degrees last 2 nights. Beautiful property we enjoyed

Best beachfront in Key West

Absolutely loved this place! Owner very good at responding! Location location location! Right on Smathers beach! We went to couple other beaches and weren’t impressed plus we saw none with properties overlooking the ocean like ours! Check in was lil tricky at first but we figured it out! Definitely will stay here again on our next Key West vacay!

Great stay even in bad weather!

Even with the storm, the location and amenities at the condo were great! We were able to get Uber rides easily, got in the pool, went to the beach and enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony every morning. Just the right size for our group of 4 on a girls’ weekend!!

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!!!!

Nice place for a relaxing beach vacation

Awesome location, great view of the beach from the unit. It was easy to get around the entire island from there. Seemed safe and secure. Great place to walk, run, or enjoy the water and water sports.

Good condo for 4 adults needing 3 beds. Pool was spectacular. It was perfectly fine for what we needed. Location was quiet, great view, good beach access. A piece of advice: Must bring bug spray for balcony and outdoors.

Wonderful Key West Experience!

La Brisas is a fabulous condo in a beautiful, quiet location on Smather's Beach. The unit was a two-bedroom unit, super clean, fully equipped with up-to-date appliances, and a patio which faced the ocean and coconut palms. It was quiet, which we enjoyed, but was close to Duval St. and all the excitement and shopping we were looking forward to. Security was excellent as was the pool area. Definitely looking forward to a return visit. Management was very responsive to our inquiries.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Dunnigan

Host profile image
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.
