Casa Feliz

Spectacular Month at Casa Feliz

Key West, Last Key Realty, and Shel Segel — our property manager — are the perfect combination of laid-back, addictive luxury and culture. Our house rental was equipped with everything one could ask for — every possible kitchen tool, an iron and hair dryers, even printed instructions explaining the use of each light switch...pasted right next to the switches. Last Key answered all our pre-visit questions with patience, and was kind enough to deliver packages we sent to ourselves in advance and during our visit. Shel was something of a magic genie, floating invisibly near the house with a perfect solution to every inquiry, yet at the same time never giving the impression we were being watched. As a longtime local and Key West-lover, Shel knows everything, and is willing to share; for example, he’s 100 percent right that Sandy’s cafe con leche is far superior (not to mention more rocket-fuellish) than the more famous Cuban Coffee Queen product. And his recommendation of Salute at the beach gave us a permanent headquarters (great food, fantastic staff, colorful wacky locals, and of course the unmatched setting). The definition of a great vacation is to be ready to go home happily, but thanks to Key West, Last Key, and Shel, our vacation was a “failure” — we did not leave willingly! We were tempted to chain ourselves to our porch and refuse to leave Key West, but even there Shel was perfect: he empathized us all the way to the rental car and off to the airport. But beware, Shel: WE’LL BE BACK!!!

Happiness in Key West

My wife and I have stayed several times at Casa Feliz and we shall return again. It's a lovely three bedroom house with a heated pool with an excellent location in Old Town Key West. We love the large master bedroom with a king bed and the attached large master bathroom. The entire house in in excellent condition and the kitchen and dining room have a beautiful view of the covered deck, back yard and pool.

Fantastic As Always

We just got home from another amazing stay in Key West. We rented Casa Feliz for our last trip to Key West back in 2013 and absolutely loved it, so we decided to try it again. All I can say is that this property is still amazing! The house is absolutely immaculate, it is very comfortable and very well appointed. We had everything we could possibly need. The property manager, Shel, met us on arrival and got us all settled in. He went over everything in the house with us and explained the new concierge service. He recommended some new restaurants and made sure that we had his contact information in the event that we needed anything. Shel touched base with us a few times during our stay and took fantastic care of us! This guy is the best in Key West! Overall we could not have had a better experience. The owners of this property take great pride in it and it shows. They have a beautiful house in a great location with fantastic management. It all adds up to create the perfect combination for an enjoyable and unforgettable vacation in paradise!

Fabulous Casa Feliz with best pool and master suite!

Much gratitude to Last Key Realty and our manager, Shel Segel, for making our stay at Casa Feliz in July our best experience yet, and that is saying a lot! We've been visiting Key West for decades and for the last six years, we've rented a home for the month of July. For the past three years, we've booked through Last Key Realty and will look no further in the future. Our manager, Shel Segel, couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Casa Feliz was perfect in all ways, lacking nothing. We especially enjoyed the large, deep pool, the shady, tropical backyard and front porch, and the beautiful master suite. We loved the bedding and are purchasing it for ourselves. We look forward to studying your website and choosing a house for next July.

Wonderful house - very pretty and fully equipped !

One of the best rental place we ever had! The house has been restored in a perfect way a couple of years ago and is decorated with excellent taste.

It was fully equipped and nothing was missing...

We loved the quietness of the garden/swimming pool where we spent lots of time chilling out... Although Duval Street is in a walking distance, we do recommend a car.

Casa Feliz and Key West are fabulous!

We just got back from a girls' weekend in Key West at Casa Feliz. Each year we say that we can't top our last vacation, well after this trip, we really can't. We absolutely had a blast in Key West and Casa Feliz was the ideal place to stay - great location, not too close to the action but a nice walk; plenty of space; wonderful pool and patio area; awesome, modern kitchen; great bedrooms and bathrooms; very clean. We loved it so much, we're already talking about renting it again for next year's girls' trip, but staying longer!  And would definitely recommend it to others!

Wonderful!

My family and I stayed at this property in June 2011. We are from the UK and were slightly concerned about booking via an unknown agent but everything was fine, and the agent was great and provided useful local knowledge. The house is beautifully decorated and well maintained. It has three double bedrooms (one ensuite), an open plan living room/dining room/kitchen and an outdoor patio area and good sized pool. The house is located about a 15 minute walk from Duval Street, although we hired bikes which were an excellent way of getting around town. We didn't have a car during our visit and didn't need one at all. There is a huge range of restaurants and bars in Key West. Our favorite ones were: Sarabeth's and Camille's for breakfast, Sandy's for lunch time sandwiches, Louis Back Yard for pre-dinner drinks and A&B's Lobster House, The Cafe and El Siboney for evening meals. I would definitely recommend this property, as well as Key West itself! Enjoy!

Fantastic Extended Family Vacation!

This was the first time our family (3 kids ages 19, 15, 13) stayed somewhere for an entire month and we couldn't be more delighted with our choice! The house is absolutely beautiful and immaculately clean. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor living space (almost every day!) with the refreshing pool and the landscape lighting made it perfect for evening entertaining. Our rental manager, Shel, was extremely accommodating and friendly, going above and beyond in many cases to make sure our stay was wonderful! He made great recommendations for restaurants, providing an entire list of must try spots (Blue Heaven's lobster eggs benedict is delicious and The Creperie across the street had fabulous made to order crepes!) as well as suggestions for places to visit (The Butterfly Conservatory is breathtaking!) When we weren't dining out, we had fun cooking in the gourmet kitchen with the top-notch appliances (Fausto's up the street was good for quick pick up items but we usually went to Winn-Dixie for most of our shopping). We rented bikes (ask for Brandon at Sunshine Scooters) and enjoyed riding around the island, especially early in the morning to take in all the architecture that makes this place so unique (Southard Street has a designated bike lane and Truman's Annex is very pristine!). The kids liked riding up to Higg's Beach to play volleyball or over to Mallory Square to take in all the fun during Sunset Celebration.  We also rented a car for a weekend getaway to Miami, stopping at the Dolphin Research Center in Grassy Key to swim with the dolphins (they actually include a dorsal fin pull) -- it was amazing! Another great adventure was the half day sunset sailing on Danger Charters which included snorkeling, kayaking, beverages and snacks -- it was quite memorable. Overall, this vacation was perfect for us to spend quality time with our children in a beautiful home away from home!

Wonderful house

Casa Feliz is everything you could want in a property: beautifully decorated and maintained, great outdoor space for eating and sunning and really well located. There is great local Cuban food just down the street and our favorite Key West restaurant is a short stroll away. Shel Segel, the property manager, is a real gem whom we look forward to seeing every year.

We would recommend this house without hesitation.

Wonderful stay at Casa Feliz

We have been visiting Key West each year for the past 15 years and we have stayed in many different homes in both Old Town and the Truman Annex.  This was our first time in Casa Feliz, but it certainly will NOT be our last.  The house was wonderful and was exactly how it was described and pictured online. This home has all of the modern conveniences that you could want, but it still has the historic, Old Town Key West charm. The house is centrally located between the beaches (both Smathers Beach and Higgs Beach) and downtown, which we really liked. There is even a full service grocery store only a few blocks away, which makes walking or riding bicycles anywhere you want to go a very practical option. 

The property manager, Shel, was absolutely fantastic. We have stayed in other homes in Key West where the property manager meets you to get you settled in and then seems to vanish into thin air. This is NOT the case with Shel. He was there to greet us, he had the house ready for our arrival, he was available to answer any questions or concerns during our stay and even came to say goodbye before we left.  Shel is on top of his game and will certainly take care of you!

Overall we could not be happier with our stay. Thank you to the property owners for allowing us to enjoy their wonderful home!  The house is perfect, it is in a great location and the management is top notch. This combination made for a great experience and another unforgettable trip to Key West.

Bright and well outfitted

Very nice house. Good quality furnishings, nice pool area. Well cared for with periodic pool and landscaping maintenance during my stay. The street was a tad busy with traffic but very quiet in the back by the pool.

Lovely Home in Great Location

My wife and I have had the pleasure of staying in this lovely property on several occasions. The house, yard, and pool are all immaculate and well-maintained and the property manager was very responsive whenever we had a question. The back of the house opens onto a covered deck with ceiling fans and looks over a very private temperature-controlled swimming pool. We liked everything about the house including the comfortable king-sized bed in the master bedroom and the up-to-date, marble bathrooms. The location was perfect for us because we were far enough away from the boisterous celebrations on Duval St. but close enough to walk or bike to all the interesting sites. In fact, after our first stay, we decided that we didn't need a rental car and opted for renting bikes for the entire month of our visit. We loved watching the quiet sunsets at White Street pier and our favorite neighborhood restaurants were Bistro Sole and Azur. We can highly recommend this house to others seeking a peaceful oasis in lovely Key West.

Gorgeous House

This house is constructed to perfection. Words cannot justify the interior of the house...it's beautifully build. The pool combined with the outside shower and bathroom make the back deck ideal for friends and family to relax outside. I love the kitchen!!!! The property manager, Shel, is awesome. Great service and accommodation.  My husband and I have been working with Shel for a few years now and we adore him.

Our stay a Casa Feliz

We just LOVED the house. All six of us really enjoyed the location. It was close to everything by either walking or riding the bikes we rented. we didn't have want of anything in the house. very nicely equipped with everything. Used the pool every day! Shel was also a wonderful asset. Big assist in suggesting restaurants and bars all over Key West. We definitely will return!

Wonderful Home and Great Service

Our month long vacation with friends was definitely enhanced by this beautiful home. The pool area was the center of our activities each day. The home was meticulously maintained and laid out for easy island living. It is conveniently located near Duval St. and the historic Seaport Area. We were able to access everything on foot or bikes. We received personalized service from the staff of Last Key Realty and made use of their concierge service. I am sure we will use them when we return to Key West.

Heaven in Paradise !!

This house is fabulous and centrally located to all venues in Key West. We originally booked Casa Feliz for 1 month (Aug-Sept) but enjoyed our stay so much we extended our vacation for an additional month through Oct 5th. This allowed for our kids and grandkids to come here and go back and forth to Sarasota at their leisure.   Beautiful home, cozy and nicely furnished. The floor plan is great with separation between the living room and dining/kitchen. Many homes have the living room and kitchen combined but not Casa Feliz. The master bath is exceptional and roomy. The pool and covered porch are ideal for Key West. We ate out at about all of the restaurants in KW, some of our favorites are Michael's, Cafe Sole for dinner, breakfast at LaTeDa, Dueces Off The Hook or Blue Heaven is fabulous. The property management company is a gem, especially Shel, he is right there when needed to assist in any way and is super nice. Planning on coming back in 2015 for another couple of months. If you stay here you will hunger to come back again too. Have fun !!

Fantastic

We stayed here for almost 7 weeks, and we loved it! The house was perfect for us. We are a family with 3 boys (14 years and twins 12 years). The swimming pool was lovely, and we spent many hours in the chairs on the front porch. The house is close to everything. Last Key Realty was great!

Great home, centrally located, private backyard

Casa Feliz was a great fit for our family. This was our first extended visit to Key West and this was a perfect home to return to everyday. The house has every amenity you could want and the property manager Shel is always available for anything you could need. Shel is the best Key West ambassador who can share great restaurants, attractions, and a variety of things to do on Key West.

Clean, well located, and well represented

We were very impressed with this property as it met our expectations and beyond. It was well appointed, located and represented by the agent Shel Segal from Last Key Reality. Service was exemplary and we could not have chosen a better location. Everything was an easy walk yet we were in a quiet location.
