MORE REVIEWS:
One review on this website described disappointed in the comfort of the furniture in the living room - we have since replaced it with a more comfortable sectional now shown in the photos. We have yet to receive any more reviews on this website as we have many repeat guests from other sources. More reviews can be found in search engines but here are a few reviews listed in other places:

"This place was fantastic!! The owner was incredibly helpful, always quick to answer our questions and even shared some fantastic recommendations.The backyard patio was like our own little paradise. The house was very clean and bright. Prime location - just a short walk to Duvall, so we had easy access to lots of restaurants and shops, on foot. Will definitely be going back to this lovely spot again!"

"We loved the location and the place. Two roomy bedrooms and bathrooms and a bright, open kitchen and living space. We walked to the beach, shops and restaurants and returned to relax on the private patio. Great lifestyle!"

"Eleanor's place introduced me to the beauty of Key West, not only was the landlord incredibly accommodating but also attentive. The house was cozy and clean upon arrival, we especially loved the gorgeous backyard which was an absolute stand-out for us. The house was close enough to the town that we could walk-in every day and on the nights in which we decided to stay in the location was perfect for easy access to incredible food. I would highly recommend a stay here!"

"We spent December 2024 here and it was an excellent experience. Lesley was highly responsive to any questions we had during the booking process and during our stay. The cottage is lovely with a gourmet kitchen and beautiful outdoor area for dining amongst flora and fauna. We had a 9 pound miniature daschund and Leslie went out of her way to ensure there were no outside areas for my critter to escape the property. The guidelines book in the cottage makes it very clear on what her expectations are for the property during checkout including sheet and towel laundering and the replacement of any household items that may have been consumed. This is for the benefit of the next tenant but assumes personal responsibility for the use of these items. I just purchased our own household items and left the house items in tact. There is a lovely space upstairs for guests though we didn't avail ourselves of this. Location is in Bahama Village and a nice quiet part of town yet easily accessible to Duval Street and those activities and particularly Ft Zach state park and beautiful beaches. Highly recommend this property and you will have a good experience dealing with landlord Lesley."

My First Less Than 5 Star Review

The Good is there is a lovely outdoor courtyard that we spent much of our time enjoying and the off street parking spot is great as well. The location is within easy walking or bike riding distance of the main attractions/beaches/restaurants/live music venues and nightlife. The Less than Good is that there is not a single comfortable seat in the entire house. In general, the condition of the interior is not as advertised and the house is in a state of decline. While the appliances worked great and the downstairs shower was great. The "sofa" you were to relax on while "enjoying TV that features Netflix" turned out to be a very small and uncomfortable piece of furniture that allowed you to see the TV that did have Netflix but no Cable Service. The two additional chairs were less comfortable than the "sofa". The cleaning fee we paid was approx. 1.5x the norm for KW and only included one cleaning that occurred after your stay (every other rental we had in KW over the last 5 years had a mid-stay cleaning included). While not advertised in the add before our stay, the owner also apparently now expects the guest to launder all of the sheets and towels on the last morning of departure, but at the same time advertises all laundry being treated with very hot washes as part of Covid precautions. Prior to our stay we were thinking this property would be a great place to return to annually. Suffice it to say we have changed our minds.
Stayed 30 nights in Mar 2023

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Host profile image
Eleanor's Place is our privately owned cottage. We are a Canadian couple, who discovered years ago that Key West is one of the most special places in the world. Our hope is to live in Key West for half the year when we both retire. In the meantime we use the cottage in the winter when we can, and we rent it out when we can't be there. We are warm, friendly, and responsible people who pride ourselves in taking good care of our house - we look for renters who will do the same.

What makes this property unique

Eleanor's Place is in a great location of Old Town Key West. The beautiful renovations that have been done, along with its lush private patio, central air throughout the house, and its own private driveway (a highly sought after, and rarely found feature in Key West homes) make it truly a unique piece of paradise!
