The Artists' Muse

We had an amazing time!

Great location, super quiet, lovely deep pool. Plentiful cookware and sharp knives! The guest cottage is a bit tight, but cozy. We lost pool heat for a few days and again, Last Key staff went above and beyond to make it right. Would have loved a more cozy outdoor seating area, by the pool but we found the front porch to fit the bill.

 

We have been coming to KW and renting for the winter months for years, and this company is far and above any other rental agency we have worked with. We have already reserved for 2024 with Last Key and don’t envision ever using any other rental agency, they are THAT GOOD!

Kudos to all staff especially Patrick in sales who was (is) always on top of the latest rentals, especially for my 84 year old mom.  A huge thank you to Tracie and Dan our House Managers who literally went above and beyond for us, anything we needed was never a problem.

Highly recommend!

In 12 years of visiting Key West - the Artists' Muse is head and shoulders above every other property we have rented. The quietest, the best pool, the nicest & most complete amenities. It really felt like I was staying in a home, not a rental unit. Often rental units have little nicks and dings - this property has none of that. Tons of towels, extra pillows, movie dvd's, even spices in the kitchen. Absolutely loved the artwork, couches were incredibly comfy and the front porch for coffee in the morning was perfect!

I highly recommend Artists' Muse

We have been vacationing in Key West for the past 12 years and Artists' Muse is by far, the nicest vacation home we've ever had.  It's quiet - no roosters and no trash pick ups at 4 am!  But more importantly is the space itself, from the quiet front porch to the fantastic, salt water pool, this home has it ALL!!  Beautifully furnished, lots of towels, and extra blankets, everything you could want in the kitchen - it is absolutely perfect.  On top of that, Last Key Realty was wonderful to work with.  The little extra's on check in were wonderful (yummy rum cakes).  We appreciated having three sets of keys, so often there is only 1 or two sets.

Another memorable stay with Last Key!

This was our 5th year renting in Key West through Last Key. They are very good at what they do. I have never had anything but a great experience with them. They are extremely helpful and right there if you need them, luckily we had only a few minor problems but they responded right away. I would only rent through Last Key because I trust them to represent nice homes in a market where you could find some pretty questionable places.

For three months, we were the lucky first guests to rent this award-winning recent renovation. This location on quiet Love Lane, off Fleming Street adjacent to the KW Library Palm Garden, is the best. It’s only 1.5 blocks walking distance to the grocery store, 3 blocks to the post office, 2 blocks to Studios of Key West and new bookstore, 1 block to Eaton Seafood Market, and 2-3 blocks to numerous restaurants (Michaels, Prime, Lucy’s, Waterfront Brewery, Boathouse, A&B, Alonzo’s, Bien, Azur, etc.) 3 blocks to Tropic Cinema, and 2 blocks to the waterfront. We would give this location a walkability rating of 10 out of 10. You do not need a car when renting this house. The expansive, roomy deck gets plenty of sunshine and is perfect for get-togethers. The 10' deep heated saltwater swimming pool is very private and always the perfect temperature. Excellent weekly pool service and monthly grounds keeping by the gardeners. Things we loved about this home: it's immaculate. beautiful windows allow sunlight to permeate throughout the house and an airy feeling, lovely view of the Library’s Palm Garden from the kitchen windows. The efficient air conditioning system worked perfectly, and there are many, quiet, adjustable ceiling fans throughout the home, exceptional energy efficient LED lighting inside and out for reading, ambient indoor and outdoor dining, and underwater lighted swimming in the evenings. There are high-quality televisions in each bedroom and we loved the huge smart TV in the living area for our group to watch the Super Bowl, NCAA Tournament games, Netflix movies, etc. Quality artwork is beautifully placed throughout, and there is gorgeous Cuban patchwork tile in two of the bathrooms. The open floor plan combining the kitchen, dining area, and living room in one shared space is very pleasant for entertaining house guests. Although the bedrooms are quite small, the layout provides privacy for everyone and easy access to bathrooms. Everything is on one floor and accessible if using a cane or walker after one enters the house. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed. Excellent icemaker, large refrigerator, super quiet dishwasher, and quality outdoor grill. There is off-street parking for an electric car or scooters. However, placement of the lane gate and a palm does not accommodate the tight turn for an SUV. The property manager, Mr. Keith, was eager to make our stay pleasurable and responsive to our text messages/calls.
