KW49E - Papa's Hideaway - Garden of Eden

Our stay was perfect, we wished we could have stayed longer. The pool was perfect, we were in a private enclave in a busy part of the town. Wish I had the words to describe what a wonderful stay we had and memories shared with our friends

Cindy -

Our stay at Papa’s Hideout was exactly what we needed. The area was secluded but surprising close to restaurants and the furthest point. The home itself was pristine and decorated Key West style. Relaxing on the porch on the wooden rockers surrounded by a tropical paradise was amazing. We definitely will stay at Papa’s Hideout again.

Henry -

We were very happy with our stay. It was in a good location to walk to almost anywhere yet was quiet and peaceful.

Charlene -

The apartment was fantastic and such a close walk to all the attractions of Key West. The heated pool was quite a surprise as the weather turned a bit chilly, but the pool was still toasty warm and fun. Highly recommended !!

Richard -

Easy to locate and in a very walkable area. It took about 20 minutes to get to the other end of Duval street and minutes away from several great restaurants. Would stay here again!

Kerstin -

Was a stellar experience and stay and highly recommend. My family and I had a wonderful stay.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. The pictures don’t even come close to the beauty. The garden was incredible, I could’ve sat out there all day, right next to a beautiful park with Key West chickens. The apartment was spacious, very clean and updated, the beds were super comfortable. The location was incredible. You’re literally two blocks from the southernmost point of Key West and it felt so safe because you’re right next to the naval base. Most everything is walkable if you don’t mind walking, or you could rent a bike and easily get around the whole island, we rented a golf cart for a day, which was awesome. They delivered it to our door and picked it up later. There was a great place to walk to see the sunrise in the morning with a coffee shop nearby, and would highly recommend going to 4 marlin’s restaurant, which is only a few blocks, reserve a table for sunset, and have a beautiful dinner. Can’t say enough about this place, would definitely rent again.

Hidden oasis, on a quiet dead end street only a few minute walk to Duval street and walkable to most of the Key West attractions. House is beautifully and tastefully decorated with all necessary conveniences for travelers. Outdoor spade is simply amazing, complete with pool, grill, hammocks and much much more.

We had a wonderful time at Papa's Hideaway. It is super well located (2 minute walk to the Southernmost Point and Duval St.) - lots of restaurants, live music, and bars within walking distance. We were able to find parking easily in front of the home and walked everywhere during our 3 days there. It was very peaceful and we enjoyed the patios, porch and hammock very much. The lush greenery outside is outstanding - truly felt away from it all but yet in the midst of everything. We luckily booked our stay during the off season and the additional units were vacant so we had the pool and outdoor space to ourselves. Really had a great time - It was very clean and very well equipped, plenty of linens etc. No negatives maybe except that the pool was a little chilly (might want to look into heating it prior to 11/1). We would return without a doubt - highly recommend!!!

Mathilde -

Incredible space, beyond bountiful and peaceful. Literal paradise stay

Philip -

Great location within walking distance to Duvall and the Southernmost Point. Private, clean, quaint - beautiful pool area that feels like your own little sanctuary! Lovely place to stay!

Cortney -

Great location. Great house. 10/10

Tyler -

We were here during Helene. Not overly impacted except for rain/wind/flooding on the road. Rob, the property manager, was very helpful in getting us an extension when our flights were cancelled, and checked on us a couple times during our eventful stay. Highly recommend!

Harvey -

This place is better than the pictures!! No problem parking, which was my one concern. It was beautiful instead and out. Great location, if you are interested in going to Duval street. Very clean and beautiful home! Loved the floors, haha, I mean the house is from 1975! The pool was great too! Loved this location sooo much!!! Favorite place we stayed at on our trip to Florida.

Gabrielle -

Really great place. It was a really pleasant stay. It was nice sitting outside by the pool.
Quiet and close to things. Perfect

Rick -

Lovely property, perfect location. Highly recommend!

Jake -

This property is simply beautiful. From the landscaping to the indoor furnishings/decor... it is all very well done. There was a slight hiccup with the check in, as the e-code for entry did not work, but the customer service team was able to help us out right away.

Jennifer -

Great spot! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Matt -

We can’t say enough good things about this place! Our only regret is that we didn’t book it for a longer stay!

Michelle -

Amazing! Papa's Hideaway is fantastic and exactly as described. Outside area, especially at night is nothing short of magical! House has everything you need and kitchen outfitted generously. Outside access from almost every room: a front porch with rockers, a side porch with rockers overlooking the pool area and a side deck with tables and plenty of seating. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, but still within easy walking distance to Duval St, Mallory Square, points of interest and restaurants. Street dead-ends just past the house, so easily had safe street parking. Parked our car out front and didn't use it again until we left. Would highly recommend and would stay here again.

Amy -

Excellent location and very close to many attractions, but felt so secluded when we needed a break. The house and grounds were beautiful, and we had no problem accessing the gate and house. Would love to stay here again!

Keri -

Beautiful spot, extremely clean, nice furniture, comfy beds. Courtyard was beautiful and peaceful. Very close to everything made it easy to walk. Absolutely no complaints.

Alex -

A beautiful and peaceful and comfortable place to stay just a short walk from the main strip on Duval.

Evan -

The house was very nice and in a very nice and quiet location.

Chris -

We were in town to celebrate a birthday and the location of this house was perfect. We were within walking distance of Duval Street but were able to retreat to a quiet, peaceful home when we wanted to. Having the pool on premise was enjoyable also. We look forward to staying here again.

Amanda -

Most awesome Airbnb 👍

Michael -

one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The outdoor spaces were exceptional and designed for relaxation. It was like having a private oasis just blocks away from where all the activity was. We walked everywhere! We would definitely stay again.

Jennifer -

a hidden gem!

Shelly -

Wonderful place to stay! Had lots of fun and met new people

Jake -

Place was great! Super clean and pretty good location

Anthony -

The cottage was lovely. The setting was beautiful among the palm trees and other greenery. It was a serene and quiet hideaway, yet within walking distance to everything on and around Duvall Street. Highly recommended!

Kirk -

We absolutely loved the house we stayed in. The courtyard was the perfect atmosphere to just relax after a full day of fishing. The house is within blocks of everything. We missed out on the pool (under construction) but regardless we would come back and stay there again.

Nicki -

The house is well located. It was cleaned. However, you can not leave your luggage before 4pm in the house and they don’t know any places where you can leave them. So if you don’t have a car, it’s not very practical …

Bertille -

Posting was accurate, and pictures are true to life. The cottage is in a great location at the quiet end of Duval. The property is a bit dated (broken tiles in bathroom, rust in shower, interior doors do not stay closed), but these are minor inconveniences. Overall, the cottage is very charming and comfortable. A note on checkin: when they say 4:00pm checkin, they mean 4:00pm checkin. Don’t expect to get into the property one minute early. Plan accordingly. Vacasa did allow us to store luggage in their office, which was appreciated. Overall, a great stay.

Carl -

Great location, quaint and comfortable cottage that was clean and a great place to stay.

Kathleen -

Historical charm with modern amenities. You cannot beat the secluded pool after a long day sightseeing. We wholeheartedly recommend this house and will be back!

Elizabeth -

We absolutelyloved the property for our girls trip! Check in super simple- host called later in day to make sure everything ok which it was. House was clean upon arrival and the grounds and pool were cleaned daily. Property in great location- walking distance to so much! The courtyard area was our favoriteplaceto spendtimeon the hot days- lotsofshade under The palm treesand so beautiful

Kristen -

Great location because it is off of Duval but close enough that it is easy to get to on a short walk.

Dennis -

This is a historically charming home. The location was perfect for our itinerary. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay!

Pam -

Lovely cottage close to everything. We really enjoyed the quiet and sitting on the porch in the evening.

Joanne -

100% fabulous, would highly recommend it. We would definitely stay there again.

Janet -

Great place. Great location. We will w back

John -

Great place for a girls weekend! We loved the cottage!

Michelle -

Papa’s Hideaway, Garden of Eden house where we stayed was awesome! Our family of 4 fit perfectly and loved the old cottage feel of the place. The heated pool was nice to dip in and swim. There is a big wrap around porch that was great for mornings and evenings. It is a nod to Ernest Hemingway so many cool pictures and of course his books were all around. The location for us was perfect. We didn’t rent a car and were able to walk to majority of destinations or Uber. This place is really great and it is nestled behind a fence with 2 gate doors (panel access) and tons of vegetation all around. Housekeeping came once which was nice and unexpected. We had access to laundry on site too which was helpful. Our weather was the biggest downer but it didn’t stop us from taking in the sights and hitting the beach or walking the town. We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas down here and specifically in this house! Favorite restaurant was Moondog which we had bfast, lunch and dinner and can’t attest to the great food. The only thing to remember when visiting here is there are no amenities for cooking (salt, pepper, oil, spices) and a couple packs of coffee were provided but need filters and coffee if there more than a few days. Not a big deal but just a helpful tip to share. Also we used Shipt to get groceries from Publix which was easy and great to have access to since we didn’t rent a car. Awesome visit!

Darcy -

This is exactly what we wanted: cozy place that's close to fun stuff to do, with plenty of street parking and a nice pool/patio. Would absolutely stay again.

Tom -

Wonderful place for our family vacation with our kid and her grandparents. We Loved the family brunch and grilling dinner on the outdoor patio by the pool, and the garden design and trees were absolutely beautiful and provide a lot of shades during the hot day. The whole place is very quiet and gives a private feeling although conveniently located where we could walk to the beach or Duval street. The city park is right next to the house too. The management did an excellent job communicating with us and staying out of our sight during our stay. We only saw a few workers in the property once and they are super nice to chat with. Aaaaand we “made friend” with a Iguana who seems a resident of a tree in the garden there haha! Overall everyone in our family is very very happy with the place. If we ever go back to Key West, this would be where we stay!

Jing -

Great place. True Key West. Short walk to Duval. Close to everything. Comfortable beds. Great place!!!

George -

Awesome place. Secluded yet very central. Stylish atmosphere with enough place for 4 people. Will go there again soon.

Daniel -

Our stay was great. The house is very nice and located close to Duval. It is much closer to the south end where there’s not as many restaurants and bars but a short 10 minute walk will get you to the center of everything. The shared pool was clean and we made great use of it when we wanted to take a break. The other home on the property didn’t bother us, we only saw people go in and out. The house itself is very spacious, equipped with a fully stocked kitchen and dining area, even a back porch, and outdoor bathroom for the pool. The only negatives I would say, only to help future guests in choosing this home, is that the pull out couch is very uncomfortable. If you’re bringing more than 2 people or 2 couples, I would go somewhere else. My friend could barely sleep with the bed pulled out or on the couch. The beds in the bedrooms are sleepable but EXTREMELY soft, you definitely sink in a lot just by sitting down. Also, you will have to use the porters or carry your bags around once you check out, vacasa had no service or help with housing any luggage before or after check in/check out. However the porter is $11 a bag and they come pick it up/drop it off, so really not that bad.

Ryan -

My hauband and I stayed with our three kids and loved it! Great location, kids loved the pool, super clean. Would love to come back some time!

Jessica -

This home was perfect - two beautiful bedrooms each with deck space. The shared pool was clean and great for relaxing. The location was only a block off of Duval and a two minute walk to the Southern Most Point. It was well kept, quiet and a perfect retreat. We can’t wait to come back!

42 North -

Outstanding place and services. Highly recommended.

Gretchen -

Great little house in Southernmost Key West. 2 full beds and a pull out sofa will sleep 6 if you max them out. Very clean and an easy walk to get breakfast/drinks.
