Cozy, charming and comfortable house with some inconveniences

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed here for a month, felt at home. The house is beautiful, very comfortable beds and linens. The terraces and pool are a dream. Plenty of home appliances, towels, basically everything you need, except some cleaning tools such as broom, toilet brush, mop... master bathroom is spacious and beautiful. The house is surrounded by vegetation which gives you a great vibe. The down side, it is very dark inside the house, lights have to be on all day. We had a terrible experience as we arrived, the house was dirty and we had to contact them as we were already there with all the groceries in the car. It took time for them to arrive and hours for them to clean it. My kids were exhausted by 9 pm as we waited. That night was not charged. House needed a deep cleaning, we would find things under the furniture. At one point, the fridge was leaking, I called and after a week no one had come. Called again since it wasn’t working and food would rotten every day. They could not fix it, I asked for a mini fridge and they brought one to me. Inconvenient but worked. Bikes had flat tires, useless.

We had a great breakfast at Donut Gallery Diner. Short drive to Crandon Park or Bigg Baggs for the beach. The backyard and pool area are beautful. The property management co was responsive by email to questions prior to our visit.

Nice house for the family

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were in town for a wedding on the Key so this worked well. Our only complaint was we had to ask for a coffee pot- I guess it broke/ and no idea how to work the tv or instructions. The outside patio cushions were soaked from all the rain so couldn’t really sit outside, Otherwise it was great and would stay again.

Great stay

We had a great girls trip! The neighborhood is lovely and it isn’t hard to get over to Miami to enjoy the surrounding areas. We really enjoyed the pool and lush greenery in the back yard. The home is decorated beautifully. Highly recommend this home!

Fantastic!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were absolutely delighted with this stay. The place is beautifully appointed and located in what is probably one of the best zip codes in the entire country. When a maintenance issue surfaced during our stay, a technician materialized almost immediately. I have managed a portfolio of short term rentals myself for 19 years. This property, and its management, are standouts.

Gorgeous home for our group of 5

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Casa Serena was the perfect location for our group of 5 friends who all turned 60 this year! The home itself is beautifully, tastefully, and personally decorated (none of that "I'm in a rental" feel). The beds very comfortable (not always the norm), and the lushly tropical courtyard with pool is the perfect spot for morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. The kitchen was good for our purposes as we ate most meals out (especially the coffee and espresso machines!) but could use a few upgrades (we only found 5 dinner plates, for example). Located in a calm and upscale residential area, we took long walks around the neighborhood & used UBER to get into Little Havana & Miami during the day. Geraldine (our host) communicated perfectly throughout and when we had a small issue with the TV, she responded swiftly and walked us through the fix. Cannot compliment her enough! The only negative is none of us felt the casita would work for a 5th bedroom (musty). All in all, a 5 Star Stay for us & highly recommended.

Great stay for graduation weekend with extended family

Stayed here with my family and in-laws for my daughters graduation. The house was even better than the pictures. Great location walking distance from shops and restaurants and a public beach access. The pool is beautifully landscaped & yard provides total privacy. Plenty of seating inside & out for the 8 of us. The master bath is beautiful. House well stocked with towels and beach towels. Quiet neighborhood with nice farmers market on weekends.

Low key 40th Birthday Girls Getaway

A very warm and beautiful house filled with colorful art, creative pieces and a collection of electric global furniture that you may be able to duplicate from a spending spree at Anthropologie or ABC Carpet in New York City. We had a lovely short stay and wished we had more time to enjoy the outdoors and the neighborhood and island of Key Biscayne.

Great house for 8 in a great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed for a week with 4 grand children 2,3,4 and 8 and their parents. 10 people total. The key Biscayne location is very nice and the house is decorated with great taste. Kitchen and common areas worked out very well. Master bedroom and bath are top notch. We did follow the recommendation of renting a golf cart. It made the stay more fun and was a hit with the grand kids. Our host welcomed us with a few bottles of wines which was a very nice surprise after our cross country flight. That said, there are a number of negatives:The casita cannot be construed as a fifth bedroom: it is closer to a garage for bikes than a bedroom. It is humid and reeks mildew. The kids ended up sleeping with their parents in the king bed. This house is sized for 8 at most to be comfortable. 10 is a stretch. The other 3 bedrooms are served by a single small bath: we made it work. The kitchen is well equipped but pans need to be replaced. The kitchen has a number details that need help: frying pans in dire need of replacement, dishwasher tray is missing wheels. While there were some disappointments from the house, we still had a great time. Key Biscayne has some great locations with nice Latino foods such as Patagonia Nahuen or Meating and a top gourmet grocery store Golden Hog. Cape Florida is a must see destination!The Frost Science museum was a hit with kids and adults.

Great Home to spend time with Family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time. House was very clean, had lots of bathroom and kitchen amenities that I thought I'd have to shop for once we got there. Pool was great, although the vacuum was left floating in it. Minor complaints - lots of light bulbs were out and two smoke detectors were beeping all night long, on two separate nights. Annoying but easily fixed.

The decor is interesting, inviting, and comfortable, providing many different place to sit together and also many nooks to enjoy a little alone time. The kitchen was stocked with most basic needs (including sharp knives), though a new set of pots and pans is suggested. Vacation Living provided excellent service and was very responsive to any needs we had. Loved the village of Key Biscayne! This was out third trip to KB and we will not hesitate to rent this home again if we return.
