Let us begin by stating that this is not one two story house but two separate units stacked on top of each other, like a duplex or two completely separate apartments. Access to the upstairs unit is on the outside of the building, so you won't be speaking to family/friends who are upstairs as if you were in a two story home. The unit list a private pool which is false, the pool is shared between two rentals the owner has on site and is small. There are two very busy restaurants within feet of the rental, one that has construction going on so there is constant business noise, car doors, horns, and live music. The unit is dingy, has peeling paint, and multiple issues including burned out lightbulbs which we requested changed several times and owner failed to do. He stated It would be Wednesday as he didn't have any lightbulbs available. As if stores don't sell lightbulbs everyday???? The ice maker in the downstairs unit does not work, and there is very little dishwater provided for renters. They are nice enough to leave you three clean solo cups for use. There is water damage evident in the right side bathroom. After walking around barefoot you find your feet to be black, showing a lack of cleanliness. The beds are entry level at best and appear to have damage as they creak and pop so loud its impossible to sleep on the one in the right side of the lower unit. It is also difficult to even find this rental as it is down the end of alley, with a narrow driveway that is difficult to manage with a bigger truck or SUV. The downstairs unit lacks furniture with just one old sofa in the living area which seats three people. Please DO NOT BE FOOLED AS I WAS BY THE PICTURES AND REVIEWS. They are strategically taken to make the property look MUCH NICER than it actually is. It appears the angles used were intentional to minimize how close you are to the other businesses, that the pool was yours alone to enjoy, and finally that the property was an upper tier rental. IT IS NOT!!!!! The owner would not respond to text sent to his cell number, which he provided, and barely to messages sent via VRBO, then quit responding all together after I asked him to replace some lightbulbs. The only pictures that are representative are of the dock and the sunset. If you rent this unit you will be very disappointed in its quality when you arrive. I have personally stayed in Key Largo many times, and spent way less money for a much nicer place. We are extremely disappointed.
