Solaris Garden - Nightly Rental

Location was great. No complaints

Manager's Response

We loved our week at Solaris Garden. Was perfect hideaway in easily walkable location on a quiet lane in old town. Cool, comfortable, nicely decorated, charming. Nice outdoor area with lush tropical plants.

Manager's Response

The rental was clean, we loved the decor, and HKWVR responded immediately to our questions and problems. The location is great, right in the middle of things, but it's very quiet.

Manager's Response

My husband and I were so glad we booked Solaris Garden through Historic Key West Vacation Rentals. It is on a quiet lane with beautiful trees and plants around the patio. Easy to store the bikes. The kitchen and bathroom have all you need including good knives, wineglasses and a fabulous shower. Bed comfortable. Laundry and clothesline useful. The living space was thoughtfully and artfully designed. The minisplit, fans and air conditioner kept the temp just right. We also appreciated the concierge services provided that gave us a worry-free week in Key West. Thanks folks for your help getting the taxi, providing baggage storage when we arrived and helping with bike rental. We will be back!

Solaris garden is perfect for a couple looking for a quick getaway to Key West. Location was absolutely perfect. House had everything we needed for a comfortable stay

Manager's Response

The house was perfect for the two of us. Great location to either walk or bike to any area you wanted. Quiet street. Areas to lock your bikes. The place was clean and had all basic necessities.

Manager's Response

Loved the quiet, the location was great near restaurants and the grocery store

Manager's Response

Total satisfaction

Manager's Response

Very charming place. We would love to stay again.

Manager's Response

The space was exactly as described. It was clean, complete, and comfortable with an authentic old Florida feel. It would be a great place for a couple, but I was there with my daughter and was easily able to sleep on the sofa comfortably. Fousto's Food Market, bars and restaurants are all within easy walking distances. Cars, scooters and golf carts were not part of the experience we wanted and this place worked well for that purpose.

Manager's Response

We enjoyed every minute at Solaris Garden. Will definitely return. Very pleased with Historic Key West Rentals.

Manager's Response

This was our first trip to Key West. The rental office was perfectly communicative. I felt like I could reach out to them if I had any types of questions or if I needed anything. They texted just the right amount. My husband and I spent five nights in this cottage. We had everything we needed. The location was fantastic... We walked everywhere. The air conditioners worked beautifully and they were ceiling fans as well. Everything was very clean and the bed comfortable. I sat out on the porch quite a bit and that was nice. I watched the lizards on the plants bike delivery was perfect. They dropped him off and pick them up for us.

Manager's Response

Very well equipped and comfortable. Enjoyed hanging out on the deck

Manager's Response

We loved our place because it was the perfect size for my husband and me with every amenity we needed. The location was close to raucous Duval Street and walkable to anywhere. The real gem about this place is that it’s tucked away on a quiet street so we could retreat to quiet when needed.

Manager's Response

Excellent location and very clean. Perfect location for us. Quiet but walking distance to everything.

Manager's Response

Nice, clean, comfortable. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Manager's Response

This place was so nice. It's on a quiet alley side street and it has a beautiful secluded porch with lots of foliage. The place was well equipped with everything needed. It was also within walking distance to everything! We would definitely recommend you stay here with in Key West.

Manager's Response

It was really nice, close to everything and it was very clean. I would definitely recommend staying here. Also, the property management company has some of the nicest people I’ve ever dealt with.

Manager's Response

Great place to stay. Cute clean property in a great location. Highly recommend this property and Historic Key West Vacation rentals. Close to everything to see and do in Key West.

Manager's Response

Fabulous cottage in an awesome location. Great atmosphere. Everything was super comfortable and clean. Small but perfect for two. We loved everything about it and didn’t want to leave

Manager's Response

Nice little place for a couple

Manager's Response

Great spot in Key West. It was quiet and clean. It was very close to bars and restaurants which was convenient.

Manager's Response

We loved our stay! Gorgeous cottage, great location, professional hosts - such a great place to enjoy old town, or just sit on the pretty patio and read my book for hours with a few lovely chickens strolling through. Perfect stay.

Manager's Response

Clean and quiet. Great location

Manager's Response

Delightful accommodations. Walking distance to all sites with comfortable bed, great shower, clean and well equipped. Rental agency thought of small details to make our stay worthwhile.

Manager's Response

We had a wonderful stay in Key West. The Solaris Garden, "Artists Cottage" was perfect for our 5-day stay, easy walk to Historic Downtown and Mallory Square. The cottage is well maintained, and decorated with a fun Key West vibe!. The only drawback is you do share a patio/deck with the front apt, which is not indicated on the listing. We were fine with that due to the other group being very respectful.

Manager's Response

Beautiful spot, a block and a half off Duval. Easy walk to everything. Clean accommodations, plenty of space for a couple. We had a blast!

Manager's Response

Great location which is easily walkable to Duval and Mallory Square but still ticked away off the main roads. Quiet neighborhood and the condo was clean and plenty of space for two people. The rental company that manages the property was helpful with any questions we had and made the check in and out process quiet easy. Would stay here again

Manager's Response

Great location for walking to Duval 2 blocks, then about 15 minutes to either the Southernmost Point or Mallory Square. The free bus has a stop around the corner. The rental was located behind a gate of the main house. It was private, super cute, and perfect for a couple. Furnishings were nice and the kitchen had all essentials (we only made coffee there). Bathroom was a good size too. The only con is I would suggest a mattress topper to make the bed more comfy as it was a little hard. Bedding was nice too!

Manager's Response

Ideal location, extremely clean. Staff very helpful and responsive.

Manager's Response

This place was perfect for my husband and I! It is a little tucked away haven! Close to all the action but just far enough for a quiet stay.

Manager's Response

Wonderful little tucked in cottage. Very quiet but easy walking distance to Duval and area attractions.

Manager's Response

Everything was as described. The cottage was nicely arranged and just big enough for the two of us.

Manager's Response

We had a wonderful stay at Solaris Garden. The property and immediate location was quiet and clean. The online pictures accurately portrayed the setting. We were very pleased with this property. The folks at Historic Key West were very helpful and attentive. The property is within just a few minutes walk to various restaurants and other retail establishments.

Manager's Response

My boyfriend and I rented this place for a few days recently, and it was an incredibly cute little apartment. It’s not a far walk from numerous restaurants and bars on Duval St, and parking was easy enough to find nearby. The unit itself has a nice lush patio with lots of flowers and shade, and the interior was nicely decorated and private. It’s in a very safe area and is located on a side street away from heavy foot traffic. Bed was comfortable and clean, I’d come back!

Manager's Response

Great location and easy access to all of Key West's offerings. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

Manager's Response

From start to finish, this was beyond our expectations. Great communication, detailed information and instructions and the locatuon was superb. We will definitely be coming back!

Manager's Response

Great experience in this cozy cottage! Location could not be better, very private and comfortable accommodations. Cottage was very clean and had everything you needed for a short visit to Key West.

Manager's Response

Fun place to visit even during the Covid pandemic. Weather was wonderful, tours were great, and enjoyed the tour of homes.

Manager's Response

The unit was very clean with plenty of amenities. I was taken back when we arrived though at how small it was compared to the pictures online. There wasn’t much of an outdoor area. The shower had very little pressure and it kept going from scalding hot to ice cold like it had a mind of it’s own. Next time we need something bigger. A big shout out to the rental team, they were fabulous! Very accommodating and gracious. The review of the unit is something I think people should know, not a reflection of the rental team. It was super close to Duvall and we rented bikes so no need for a car. A plus to our stay was a frequent visitor, a Tabby cat, we named him Bob. He belongs to someone because he wears a collar, he was so friendly and a big hit with us!!

Had a great stay at Solaris Garden
Location was very convenient to all of Key West
The manager checked in with us though out the vacation to make sure everything was good

It was very nice to have extra room to spread out

Manager's Response

Solaris Garden was the best. Clean, close to Duval St, everything that is needed for a short or long stay is there. We rented bikes, had no car and I highly recommend this. An early morning bike ride the length of Duval St is good for the sole! Office staff was also wonderful!

Manager's Response

We enjoyed the Solaris Garden very much. It was super cute and gave us easy access to the heart of Key West. At the same time, it was very quiet and private. Thank you!!

Manager's Response

Nice location, comfortable, would stay at this property again

Manager's Response

The property was as described. No surprises. It was clean and maintained, including the garden area. We did not have a car and walked to most destinations. The manager was very responsive to all requests. This was in sharp contrast to a different management group we had last year for a different property. Very satisfied overall.

Manager's Response

This cozy garden cottage was a perfect home for my husband and I for a perfect week in Key West. The home was immaculate and had everything we needed. It was so peaceful and quiet and away from the crowds. Exactly what we were looking for. Close to Duval and within walking distance to all the attractions we wanted to see. Such a pleasure not needing a car. Highly recommended. Owner very respectful of our privacy. Thanks for sharing your home with us. Management Company couldn’t be better. So nice!

Manager's Response

Even better than described. Fully stocked kitchen, very comfortable bed and large walk in shower. Perfect location for our needs. Charming private deck for morning coffee and evening cocktails. This will be our Key West house every year. Check in was a breeze and everyone was so helpful.

Manager's Response

We adore this rental! It is perfect for what we like and has everything you would need to feel at home. We really enjoyed the shared porch and the location cannot be beat. The ladies at check-in were wonderful and helpful with advice on newer restaurants as well. We will definitely be back.

Manager's Response

We really enjoyed this place. It is clean, well equipped and a great location. No parking, but for $10 we could take an Uber anywhere we wanted to go, if we didn't want to walk. Perfect for a couple. We would definitely return.

Manager's Response

Truly enjoyed this lovely unique get away cottage. Everything you need to escape to paradise. The quiet little garden was such a bonus. The only drawback was no parking. Difficult to find parking but made it work.

Manager's Response

We had a great trip to KW and staying in the Solaris Garden was perfect for us. It's located in a quiet neighborhood and right in the middle of the island so it was great walking a few blocks in either direction to get where we wanted to be. This house is so squeaky clean and we had all the room we needed, very, very nice!

Manager's Response

We had an amazing time staying at Solaris Gardens! Perfect set up for my husband and myself. Our pup enjoyed his stay, too! Thanks for everything

Manager's Response

Was in a great location. Living room chair was very uncomfortable. Told to not turn ac below 73. Shower water temp fluctuated hot/cold on its own. Had personal vehicle so next time will get a place that provides a parking space

Manager's Response

Our rental started with the great staff. Very friendly and willing to help in any way. The property, which was in a great location, was very clean, comfortable and we couldn’t have asked for a better place! We would recommend this property and Key West Vacations to anyone. Blue Heaven, Salute, and Key West Cuban Coffee were our favorite places to eat. We’ll definitely be back !

Manager's Response

Across the board, experience was very positive, seemless, and thorough.

Manager's Response

My husband and I decided to take our first road trip over the long Labor Day weekend with our dogs. We decided to use VRBO to find a place in Key West, Florida. Success! We found a spot in the historic downtown area at a very reasonable price, especially for a holiday weekend.

The condo we chose was just the right size for the two of us plus two dogs. It was super clean, cozy, and within walking distance to everything.

That was our highlight, we could walk to everything and be home throughout the days to take care of the dogs when we didn’t take them with us.

The rental team was also super nice and helpful as we got situated.

After booking the condo and paying for the 2 nights through VRBO, we were sent a new contract, slightly changing the terms and making it seem as though the management company still had to approve two dogs and requiring an additional $45.00 non-refundable insurance charge. It was off putting because we had reached an agreement and paid in full, and if we didn’t agree with the new contract we couldn’t get out of the original contract or get our money back because the payment was non-refundable at the time it was paid as it was booked so close to the reservation date.

To top it off, 24 hours before our arrival we received a call that a mistake was made and they had overlooked that we had 2 dogs and that there was a 1 pet policy. No such policy was stated anywhere in either contract. They allowed us to bring the two dogs, but we had to pay an additional $150 pet deposit because it is a “per pet” fee.

Then, 4 hours before our arrival our card was charged again without permission for $18.75 by the management company. When I called to inquire why, I was told it was because another mistake was made and the taxes weren’t included to my second dog deposit. This charge was reversed when challenged but still made us hesitant if this was going to be

Manager's Response

We were very pleased with our house, it had everything we needed and more!

Manager's Response

Quiet secluded street within walking distance to all the action of Duvall street, marinas, and beaches. We had a car but didn't use it once in 4 days. Nice large walk-in shower, AC in living room area worked great, very quiet. The bedroom one, not so much. If you need white noise to sleep it won't bother you, my husband had to use earplugs. The staff were very thorough and helpful, we would definitely stay here again!

Manager's Response

Really enjoyed our stay at the Solaris Garden. The place was clean, and in a perfect location. We had no issues at all and would stay at the same location again. It was perfect for our situation, which was just to use the home to sleep in, as we were out on the island most of the day during our stay.

The house was in a perfect location, centrally located, but you could not hear the noise from attractions nearby. My wife and I had a wonderful stay and spoke many times about how happy we were about the accommodations.

Manager's Response

Everything is amazing, there is really nothing else to say. To top it off, the people at Historic Key West Vacation rentals are super cool and helpful. The shower curtain fell during our stay and I had trouble getting it back up, and someone was at our place in 5 minutes to fix it. Just above and beyond service!

Manager's Response

We were able to walk to all the places we wanted to see during our stay. The Solaris Garden was not fancy but that's not want we wanted. It has charm and a quite location. Easy to find a comfy place inside or outside. Well cared for and clean. We would stay here again.

Manager's Response

The unit was as advertised. Clean, well-stocked, centrally located in Old Town, and a sweet land-lady who was interested if we had any needs.

Manager's Response

Solaris Garden Cottage was the perfect getaway for our anniversary! Very clean, quiet, comfortable & walkable! The property managers and the owner were friendly and extremely helpful! Just perfect!!

Manager's Response

This was our third year at this property, but the first in the back unit. The two units (front vs back) have a completely different feel. The front unit is lighter, a bit larger and more modern. This unit is more rustic, smaller, and secluded.

The bathroom is larger in this unit, and has a walk-in shower. There was more storage space (overall) in this unit as well. More windows in this unit allowed in plenty of light during the day.

It was nice to wake up, move to the patio, and spend the morning relaxing. Lots of shade until mid-afternoon...the hurricane ended up thinning some of the trees around the property so not as shady as the sun moves west.

Our one complaint was the softness of the mattress on the queen bed. We both woke up with aching back almost every morning. I'd suggest either the mattress, boxspring, or both be replaced with something with more support.

Manager's Response

The management company did an excellent job of communicating prior to the stay however when checking in they refused AMEX even though I used it to book the stay. The rental was well stocked and clean. They only exception was shower soap so make sure to bring your own. The bed was very comfortable and we both slept soundly. The location was great with easy access to Duval. The last night a storm came through and the glass is the door rattled all night but thankfully I had some ear plugs. We had to search for the air conditioning controls but once found they kept us cool and comfortable.

Cute little cottage close to everything. Very clean.

This is an old place with a great updated feel. It is well cared for feels unique. Excellent location a block and a half off of Duval and otherwise centrally located. You can walk or ride a bike easily anywhere you want to go in old town.

Wonderful place just as described.Highly recommend for an Old Town resident experience. Thanks!

We loved staying in the Solaris Cottage Garden so much we would stay there again. It was so close to everything!! It was Beautiful!!!

The property management company staff was very nice and helpful. The cottage was adorable and had the perfect artsy vibe I look for when I stay in Key West. It was about a block from Duval which was perfect for being close enough to walk but far enough to have some privacy.

Wonderful location, extremely nice rental unit, very accommodating owner and rental company; overall, a very positive experience. We would love to return to this unit in the future. Perfect size for two!

Solaris Garden Cottage was clean, comfortable, and supplied with kitchen and bathroom necessities. Having laundry on the property was convenient. Secluded patio area was very relaxing and a good place to eat outside. Just don't plan on having any parties on the patio - one of the neighbors asked us to turn off the radio we had playing outside!

Location was great - a few blocks away from Duval St and a 15 minute walk to beautiful South Beach. Despite the proximity to Duval St, cottage was in a quiet area. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend this to friends and family who are looking for a relaxing place to sleep while still being close to the beach and busy Duval St.
