Star of the Seaport

Hospitality at its best!

From start to finish (and even prior to check-in) our experience with this home and Last Key was exceptional. The home is located in a wonderful accessible and walkable location and was the perfect setting for our girls birthday celebration. Would highly recommend and cannot wait to come back and enjoy this property. I also want to add that all of the concierge and planning services were seamless...hospitality at its best! XO, Jo

Great House in a Great Location

Star of the Seaport is a wonderful house walking distance to Duvall and the Seaport. Extremely well stocked with everything you need. The 5 bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect to accommodate my family. Wonderful back patio. I would rebook in a heartbeat.

- Matt S , Posted: 08/04/2024

Wonderful

Property was spacious enough for my extended family, had the convenience of a private pool in the back, and only two blocks from Duval St. Parking was narrow but enough for 3 vehicles (which we needed) and worked fine. It was a wonderful vacation.

- George S , Posted: 04/11/2024

Exceeded our Expectations!

This house went above and beyond our expectations. Location was the best! The house had literally everything you could possibly need, they thought of every detail in this house. We had 3 kids with us and they didn’t want to leave the pool the entire time. All the rooms felt spacious and comfortable. The hosts were wonderful, such great communication and very friendly. We cannot wait to come back!

- Stacey J , Posted: 03/03/2024

Ideal in Every Way!

We came for a sailing race. It was super close to the boat and was an ideal location. We had dinners at home and went out. Both were very convenient. We absolutely loved this house!!!

- Andrew W , Posted: 02/11/2024

Ideal Location for Family Reunion

Star of the Seaport was the perfect location for a family gathering of 10 adults and a baby. The location couldn’t be better, a very short walk to Duval and to the Marina. The house was very comfortable and we enjoyed the outdoor space with plenty of seating for our entire group. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to cook a Thanksgiving meal for ten of us without any trouble. Last Key Realty were easy to deal with and we would happily rent from them again. We would definitely return to this property.

- Tim H , Posted: 12/03/2023

Can't wait to come back!

House was perfect in every way, rooms, convenience of location, we had the best experience celebrating a 60th birthday. We were consistently being checked on to make sure we had everything we needed. This will definitely be a yearly repeat!!

- Jeannette P , Posted: 06/18/2023

Best Location

We were all very pleased with this property and the communication/service from management. Couldn't beat the location either, as we were just a few short blocks away from Duval St. and the Marina's.

- Tim I , Posted: 05/29/2023

We couldn’t have asked for more!

I highly recommend working with Last Key Realty. They offered outstanding communication even before I booked and every moment after. They were extremely helpful when I asked for referrals for services and activities. The property was immaculate. 

- Daniel M , Posted: 04/23/2023

Awesome Home!

Awesome house with some historic flavor. The pool was a nice bonus, we swam every evening under the stars and decorative lights. Didn’t need to drive anywhere once we settled in.

- Thomas S , Posted: 04/23/2023

We'll be back!

The property was clean and beautiful! We will stay again!

- Brandie E , Posted: 04/09/2023

Perfection

Totally a safe bet. Pool was warm and clean. All the rooms were spacious and beautifully furnished. Never walked more than 3 blocks from the house. Perfect trip!

Best House in Key West!

This is probably the best house available for short term rentals in key west. We had 10 people down for my 30th bday. Kept our 2 boats at the Galleon Marina which is a short 3 minute walk. We hit the water during the day then conveniently walk to the bars on Duval St at night. The house itself is luxurious and set up for entertaining.

- Seth J , Posted: 07/20/2022

Lovely home near everything

Large home with plenty of room for everyone. Pool was a nice bonus and kept extremely clean. The location was perfect and close to everything.

- Tammy A , Posted: 06/13/2022

Can't beat it!

Great location for fun on Duval and fun in our pool!!

- Margaret M , Posted: 06/12/2022

Incredible Home & Outstanding Service!

We really enjoyed our time in Key West and I have no doubt it was because of Last Key's top notch customer service. The house was incredible, but what really made the trip was their concierge service that helped us figure out what we were going to do there with our group of 11. They made recommendations, they made reservations, they steered us away of things we might not enjoy but looked good online, and their response time was great! Would totally stay with them again!

- Kelly T , Posted: 05/22/2022

Absolutely Wonderful

Star of the Seaport was simply fantastic. We had a larger group in for a fishing tournament and this location was simply perfect. Great house and amenities, great backyard and pool. Wonderful place to simply relax with your friends and do some bbqing after a long day of fishing. Cannot wait to get back there next year.

- David C , Posted: 04/17/2022

Perfect for Wedding Guests

We booked the Star of the Seaport over a long weekend as our accommodations for our daughter's wedding in Key West.  The home was perfect in every way, providing ample space for 4 couples and a solo guest.  Property is perfectly located and within walking distance of all of Key West!

- Steven R , Posted: 04/17/2022

Gorgeous Large Historic Home

5 coworkers attending a conference. We all had ample privacy and space and the backyard was perfect for entertaining clients.

Incredible Home in the Heart of Town!

We had an amazing time, the house had everything we needed. We hardly left the house! We will be back!

- Robert F , Posted: 01/16/2022

Amazing property for all of us!

The house was exactly what we needed - 5 bedrooms for 5 couples. The outdoor space in particular was spectacular. The location was incredibly convenient. Great property!

- Will R , Posted: 01/16/2022

Already booked our 3rd Trip back!

This is a beautiful home in the perfect location for our family Key West vacation! It was our second time at this property and we are looking forward to the third!! Property managers and concierge were icing on the cake??

- Danita W , Posted: 12/19/2021

The Perfect Place, Perfect Location and Tremendous Service

The Airbnb was perfect. Very quaint, great location, extra amenities for your comfort. Parking could have been a problem but the location is so good that once we parked we didn't move the car and walked just about everywhere or took an Uber.

Our guest service coordinator, Samantha, was wonderful!  Very professional, incredibly personable, and totally responsive. She was great and such a help, including parking! We really enjoyed our stay. A lot of extra care was given to ensure our comfort.

- Bennye A , Posted: 10/17/2021

Thank you

Loved the house and all of the charm along with it. We had a great time. The house was stocked with everything we needed! Thank you

- Jeff W , Posted: 08/15/2021

Absolutely Recommend! Seriously, just book it!

This house was amazing! It’s an Incredible location very walkable to everything. The Last Key concierge team was on it for any of our needs. We had 5 couples to celebrate my husbands 37th bday and it was nice for everyone to have their own room/bathroom and spread out in the house. The pool scene outside was a big draw for us to the house and it did not disappoint! Would absolutely recommend and would stay here again!

- Jaclyn R , Posted: 08/08/2021

Phenomenal Stay

Samantha and the Last Key team did a phenomenal job for my groups trip to Key West. The house was amazing and everyone had a great time. Everything was as advertised and they were super helpful.

- Stephen L , Posted: 07/18/2021

Everything we'd hoped for and then some!

Property lives up to its description and then some. Fully stocked kitchen, nice surprises in the refrigerator, awesome ice machine, great location.

- Pat L , Posted: 06/30/2021

Wonderful Home

A wonderful home that is walking distance to shops, coffee shop and restaurants. This home did not disappoint and was equipped with everything I needed for a large family gathering.

- Tiffany L , Posted: 06/24/2021

Comfortable, clean, and convenient

The house was exactly what we (10 adults) hoped for and even better than advertised - and it was advertised accurately. Comfortable, clean, and convenient. Lost Key Realty provided exceptional help and support.

- Jen W , Posted: 06/24/2021

The Perfect Trip

The home is amazing. We had five couples; ranging in age from in their fifties to seventies. We were in Key West to celebrate my wife’s 70th Birthday. We selected it for proximity to shops and sightseeing and the privacy five rooms provided. The pictures showed great gathering areas and it delivered it wonderfully. We sat outside on the outside couches and swapped lies about our childhood memories. We finished our days with soaks in the pool. We played games around the outside dining table and had great dinners in the dining area and more stories in the great living area. The five days were perfect and mostly due to The Star of the Seaport!

- Linda L , Posted: 06/24/2021

Location Can't Be Beat!

Star of the Seaport is a great house! We were here for my husband's 50th. Us and 4 other couples (10 total). We loved that everyone had their own room and own restroom. The house was clean and exactly what we needed. It was so nice to have a pool that we could relax in during the afternoon or jump into when we got back from Duval at the end of the night. And the location!! AMAZING! I knew it would be a good location because we've been to KW before. However, I had no idea just how good it was until we got there! The house is truly in the absolute best location. Super close to Duval - but also not right on the craziness of Duval. Close to bars, restaurants, seaport, Mallory Sq, Little White House. LOCATION CAN'T BE BEAT Last Key Realty was really great to work with. Very quick to respond to any emails prior to our arrival. And Samantha, as our personal concierge was great - we had some things we reached out to her and she was so quick to respond and offer resolutions. Thank you for helping make my husband's 50th memborable.

- Kathleen B , Posted: 05/23/2021

Outstanding

Real simple, as advertised and outstanding. Worked hard to leave the place in same or better condition. Thank you

- Pete H , Posted: 05/23/2021

Relaxing vacation!

Our stay at this property was incredible. There was a lot of space for our family to spread out. Enjoyed each of the rooms being themed, lot of attention to detail. The balcony and patio also had wonderful rocking chairs. The pool was also one of the highlights! The property managers and agents were all friendly, reliable, and accommodating. We wanted the pool to be heated and Samantha came to the property herself to turn the heater on. Would love to be back soon!

 

- Pulkit T , Posted: 01/06/2021

Can't wait to rent this home again!

Everything about this home was wonderful! Beautiful, spacious, well-stocked with everything needed to cook. The pool was clean and well maintained. The outside furniture was able to accommodate all of the guests in the house and having a grill was a definite plus. The beds were comfortable and allowed everyone to get a good night’s sleep. The location of this home allows you to be close to shopping, bars, and restaurants. Check-in was great and the key lime pie was a great touch. We can not wait to go back to Key West and we will definitely be renting this house again!

 

- Samantha M , Posted: 12/22/2020

- Kathryn P , Posted: 10/28/2019

Star of the Seaport is Absolutely Amazing

The home has so much charm with all of the amenities you could want. It’s proximity to town makes this a must stay. The Last Key staff and concierge were unbelievably accommodating and so friendly. I spend 100+ nights a year in hotels, I have seen the best and worst in my travels, but The Star of the Seaport and Last Key are at the absolute top of my list. I will definitely be coming back!

 

 

 

- John D , Posted: 09/19/2019

Great Spot for Big Crew of Friends

 

Had a blast with 10 college friends at the Star of Seaport! Very accommodating place for partying, enjoying Duvall st. bars and restaurants. Can’t wait to book same place next year.

Location was awesome-less than two blocks from Duval Street, three blocks from the marina and those restaurants and six blocks from Mallory Square! Pool, and amenities from the house were great. Bathrooms were all renovated and brand new!!

 

- Steven D , Posted: 06/13/2019

Star of the Seaport was the perfect location for an extended weekend stay

 

Samantha at Last Key was a wonderful host. The house was ready on-time and was in great shape and outfitted with all that we needed. Lots of small extras like bug spray and a first aid kit! If you are looking for a house close to Duval St, this is the perfect fit. Walkable to tons of restaurants, bars and marinas. We hope to come back.

 

- Laura H , Posted: 05/09/2019

Our group stayed at Star of the Seaport for 5 nights in early April

It was an ideal property for our party by providing plenty of room and comfort and includes all necessary amenities for a vacation home base. The property is in a convenient location to all Key West vacation activities, such as restaurants, bars, shopping, and historic sights. We had rental cars, since we drove to Key West after flying into Ft. Lauderdale, but did not use them since we ended up walking to all activities. The property was ideal for spending time indoors, with a spacious living room, kitchen, and dining area, or outdoors, with a large patio seating area, dining set, and pool. The property is well maintained and in very good condition. The staff at Last Key Realty is exceptional and know the meaning of excellent customer service. Rodney was proactive and very helpful with the rental contract. Samantha, our host, assisted with our property planning and needs, greeted us on arrival with gift beverages, was available during our stay if we needed assistance, and met us at departure time. Cecilly and Beth provided us concierge service and could not have been more helpful. They consulted with us several times before and during the trip and made excellent suggestions for restaurants and activities, including a jet ski tour, kayaking tour, sunset cruise, and a Fort Tortuga excursion. All reservations were made by Cecilly and Beth. The Last Key Realty staff made our trip a great success. You will enjoy working with them and The Star of the Seaport property.

- Del A , Posted: 04/24/2019

This property is amazing! Two blocks from Duval and happening places, yet quiet at night

This house is a wonderful stop for a large family or 5 couples. Last Key Realty and Shannon were great and we had everything we needed. The pool, deck area and front porch were all well used and enjoyed.

- William J , Posted: 03/06/2019

Another Great Stay!

 

The Last Key Realty team goes above and beyond from the booking process to concierge services and recommendations throughout the stay and even accommodating checkout adjustments (when possible) given staggered flight schedules. I have stayed at two incredible Last Key properties with large groups – Southernmost VII and Star of the Seaport. Both homes were spacious, well-maintained, and designed with relaxation and escaping the grind in mind. Our most recent stay at Star of the Seaport was for a milestone celebration. It’s right around the corner from the Conch Republic and a short hop from the Half Shell – the happy hours at these landmarks ensured that a few rainy days wouldn’t dampen our spirits. We enjoyed pies from Pepe’s, breakfast at Harpoon Harry’s, lunch at B.O.’s Fish Wagon, Cubanos from 5 Brothers, and tacos and burgers from Garbo’s Grill, too – all close to the house. We shook out our souls at the Green Parrot, the Blue Macaw and Rick’s Tree Bar, too. Rodney from Last Key helped us pick a home that met the needs of eleven adults flying in from both coasts at all hours, and he and the team made sure twin beds were converted to kings and the pool was heated as a cold front came through. Shannon, our guest services coordinator, made the celebration one we'll never forget. She was in contact with me several weeks before our arrival and ensured the house was stocked with groceries, beverages and birthday flair that made us feel like kids again. She was a partner on the ground and any idea I winged to her, she embraced, amplified and executed. I could hear and feel her enthusiasm and laughter in every voicemail and text exchange! I was able to ship some items to her to be available for our arrival, and she printed pictures and decorated the house to welcome us. She even had personalized koozies made up for us as a surprise! She worked on dinner reservations (be sure to make your way to El Siboney), and she coordinated a catered evening for the first day to ease us into the good times. Shannon met us at the house once we landed on the island, and she checked on us throughout the trip to make sure we found the best Cuban sandwiches and coffees, Bloody Mary’s, key lime pies, live music and places to chill. Seriously, the attention to detail and local intel were stellar. As we were all leaving at different times, she was also able to adjust our checkout time and ensure each of us squeezed every last sweet drop of juice out of our time in Key West. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Last Key Realty and both of the properties mentioned. I cannot wait for the next occasion to wrangle friends back down for some sailing, cocktailing and bike-riding revelry.

 

- Sydney P , Posted: 02/06/2019

Perfect!

We loved this property! Everything about it was perfect!

- Geri O , Posted: 01/31/2019

The home was amazing, but Shannon of last key made the vacation!

The attention to detail this company possesses is beyond any I have ever experienced. From check in to check out and everything in between Shannon was on top of it! I arrived with a party of 7, 6 of whom had never been to Key West, Shannon was attentive to their questioning, even the ridiculous, and answers were thorough and professional and thoughtful. The home was pristine and beautiful with all needed supplies and amenities. I have already recommended the property and Last Key to a friend who has booked a vacation. Would I use this company again? HELL YES!!! Thank you Last Key for helping us create amazing memories for life!!!!

- John H , Posted: 01/16/2019

After missing our flight out of RDU to catch a cruise out of Miami, we (a group of 11) decided to drive to Key West instead. We had no where to stay but after calling and emailing many places we were helped by Chris Santry and Amanda Anderson with Last Key Realty. They went above and beyond to accommodate us and we are so very thankful! Now about the house, Star of the Seaport, it's even better than the pictures you see online. It's clean, spacious, and in a prime location-you can literally walk a block and be in the middle of all the action. I recommend Last Key Realty, especially Amanda, who met us at the house to show us around, and answered every text immediately throughout the week we were there. You won't be sorry you rented this property!

- Brandie G , Posted: 12/31/2018

We rented a vacation home, Star of The Seaport, from Last Key for five nights starting November 9th. Amanda Anderson and the Last Key team were super responsive, super accommodating, and a gem to work with. The house was outstanding, clean, well taken care of and had everything we needed. It is obvious that Amanda and Last Key truly care about their guests and want to make sure they have the best experience in their rental properties, I highly recommend them and look forward to booking homes from them directly in the future.

- Carlos G , Posted: 11/25/2018

Exceeded expectations

Our stay at Star of the Seaport

Checked in to Star of the Seaport on 5/4/18 and out on 5/7/18. The property was fabulous!! 5 full bedrooms each with individual bathrooms and separate A/C! Great for 5 couples celebrating a 25th anniversary! Amanda Anderson was outstanding! Attention to detail was perfect including fresh flowers and key lime pie! Would absolutely rent this location again!!

- Melinda H , Posted: 06/15/2018

House was great, service was even better!

Amanda Anderson and the Last Key team were amazing in every way.

- Ross L , Posted: 06/15/2018

Best Vacation Ever

Our stay at the Star of the Seaport from 4/20-4/24 was absolutely wonderful. Amanda Anderson, our host from Last Key Realty, was in contact with me before we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed on our arrival. She met us at the house and went over all the details. One of our party of 9 realized we didn’t pack a portable speaker for poolside and Amanda had the speaker to us within an hour! The house was large and well-appointed with a beautiful pool and great location to Duval Street and our favorite eating places. We can’t wait to visit Key West again and rent with Last Key!

- Sharon P , Posted: 06/15/2018

Outstanding property for 5 couples long weekend

This property was fabulous for our 5 couple long Anniversary weekend! Amanda Anderson handled our rental, had everything perfect for our arrival including flowers, welcome key lime pie and stocked per our requests. Could not ask for a smoother vacation!! Love it!!

- Melinda H , Posted: 05/08/2018

Charming, great location, first rate service

 

What a fabulous house for a work retreat! Lots of room. The bedrooms are charmingly decorated and the kitchen opening out to the pool and outdoor seating is ideal. Amanda Anderson was extremely helpful and even went out of her way to bring us two brand new coolers and ice when we asked for them. She was very easy to reach and responded so quickly when we had questions about restaurants and beach areas. Highly recommended. Great stay!

3 nights at Star of the Seaport

This was a beautiful place in an ideal location. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, spacious kitchen, and grill. A thoroughly enjoyable house for a great visit.

Great Location!! Everything was very nice and very easy. Elizabeth was great to work with and very accommodating!

- Austin D , Posted: 01/26/2018

More Beautiful in Person!

The home was absolutely beautiful and honestly looked better in person. It was immaculately clean (inside and outside) with up-to-date appliances. The pool was a perfect respite at the end our day and was well maintained, too. We were a group of 9 adults and 3 toddlers and the house was spacious! The location is perfect in that you are close enough to get to Duval Street but far enough to not hear anything. We had enough room in the driveway for 2 cars and the 3rd car parked on the street. Caryn was our coordinator, and was very, very responsive before the trip and also during the trip when we had some issues with someone blocking the driveway, the ice maker on the fridge and the grill. It was also nice to have concierge available by phone to help with planning and ideas for eating out. 100% recommend this home, you will not be disappointed.

Great stay for two HHI families

Perfect work retreat

My yoga studio in Miami is rapidly expanding, and after a I brought on a group of new instructors, I figured what better place for a staff retreat than Key West. With the eight of us I was a bit nervous about all of us staying in one house, but from the photos I saw online it seemed like the perfect place to be together --but also have a bit of privacy. The bedroom layout was perfect. Even the people sharing rooms did not feel cramped, which is something I was worried about. There was ample space for everyone, and sharing bathrooms was not the issue I thought it would be. The kitchen had lots of counter space which was perfect for our communal buffet meals, and walking out to the pool for our morning practice was the most serene and beautiful way to start the day. Once morning we ventured out to Fort Zachary Taylor to do some yoga on the beach…and ran into a yoga class! Since our days were filled with workshops I decided we should go have some local fun in the evenings. We went to the Tropic Cinema for a movie night, went on a spooky ghost tour, and had a late night dancing to live music on Duval Street. We had game nights at home, and went swimming and grilled out back by the pool. I couldn’t have asked for a better location, and the trip bonded us together as a work family. Highly recommended.

Fantastic, historic, luxurious home in Key West's best location! What a find!

My family and I really adored our two-week stay in this amazing, Hemmingway style residence. From our first glimpse of the palm-tree fringed porches with wooden rocking chairs off the charming street just three blocks from Duval Street, we were thrilled at our choice. our family is a large one, of ages ranging from youngsters to our elderly parents with disabilities, but everyone was happy with the truly comfortable accommodation, and the superb location. the house is beautifully decorated, in an elegant style that fits it's history, yet it is also relaxing and upbeat. The pool area is spacious, and we spent a lot of time together as a family - grilling, swimming, and dining outside under the stars. The bedrooms were tasteful and well-appointed - each with it's own Key West personality theme - The Jimmy Buffett Suite, the Truman Suite, and so on. The beds were very comfortable - some with gorgeous four-posters. Our parents have physical challenges, so we were very relieved to have two excellent bedrooms on the ground floor. The house is a haven of peace and relaxation, yet for those of us who wanted excitement and night life, Duval Street is only three blocks away, while in the other direction lies a quant seaport with delightful restaurants, bars, coffee shops, art galleries, designer clothing stores, fishing boats for hire and water sports rental shops. Thankfully, we did not need to rent a car, but some of us simply used bicycles when we ventured further afield. But we noticed that it is possible to pull a car off the street in the driveway, which must be a blessing to many people. It was a relief to me (as chief family organizer) that I did not need to work too hard to find activities for each individual - because it was all right on our doorstep and no transport necessary. Our young children loved the pool and the many kids' activities around town, our teenagers loved the bicycle-friendly environment, the scuba diving and snorkeling trips, the fishing opportunities, and the fun of Duval Street. All adults enjoyed the spacious dining table for elegant dinner parties, as well as nearby restaurants, historical walks, boat trips and museums - all within easy walking distance. We were grateful for the attentiveness of the Last Key professionals, and especially its excellent concierge service. This is an amazing rental in a terrific part of the world; none of us can wait till next year!
