Namaste is a wonderful property. It might be the best vacation spot weâve had. You are at the most less than quarter to a half mile from the tourist attractions, the sunset, and a plethora of restaurants. While it is a block from Duval, it is quite quiet. Faustoâs grocery is nearby with a great deli and butcher shop if you want to grill a steak. Lyft or Uber is really all you need for longer journeys. Parking is expensive. Namasteâs deck is terrific for the sun worshipers. We loved Namaste.
Having been down to the keys for 12+ fantasy fest and other trips, we have stayed all over the island. To date, nothing has compared to the location of Namaste. Property is great. Small compound with very few properties. There for 8 days and only saw other couples 3-4 times the entire time. Access to the bars on the north end of Duvall is 2nd to none. From your front door to refreshing drinks on Duvall inside of 3 minutes, walking.
The property itself is great. Namaste is unique in that there is a loft upstairs that has a balcony overlooking the compound. My wife loved the opportunity to head up there with a frozen drink and tan during the day before heading to Duvall. Also, she used the loft daily for yoga. Was great having space for her to exercise and tan in complete privacy.
The property was better than advertised on VRBO. Very clean and arrival/check in was simple. The host was incredibly responsive to any questions I had when we checked in. It is always good to stay someplace for 8 days and not have to reach out to the host/property management anytime after your initial check-in questions.
If you are traveling down to the keys and are looking for a great place, 1 block off Duvall, don't book anywhere else. The only reason I will ever stay anywhere other than Namaste would be to it already being booked.
This would get rated higher than 5 stars if it was an option.
Namaste was a beautiful accommodation. The unit itself is very private with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. The grounds were well maintained and the pool area was a very enjoyable part of our afternoon cool down after exploring Key West. We would highly recommend staying here.
We had an amazing stay at Namaste. The heated pool was so nice for a morning swim everyday and we always had it all to ourselves. The landscaping around the property was so beautiful! And the location was perfect, close to everything. We canât wait to come back!
My husband and I were going to Mexico but due to COVID we decided to stay in the states but still wanted tropical. We chose Key West as it was a place we always wanted to go and since the cruise ships werenât docking there we thought it would be and less people. The location of the house was great if you want to spend your time on Duvall at night. We rented bikes so rode all over the island and We Cycle is a great place to rent from. If you are looking for relaxing in the sun I donât think this is for you. It is a lively place and the beaches are not close or very nice in Key West. Dean and his maintenance team are great so that part was no issue. The pool has too much shade but was clean and nice. The compound is quiet even though it is a block off Duvall which is a party all night. The home is comfortable including the bed. You have everything you need to live comfortably. We did not cook this time because there is so many places to eat out close by.
We walked and biked everywhere. Take the Hop on hop off early so you know where you want to go. Scheduling an excursion or two on the water is recommended because that is where the beauty of the island is.
A week is too long, in my opinion, but everyone has different taste.
Be sure to check the event calendar before you go! There is a lot going on but it is a very relaxing, casual, laid back area to get away.
Absolutely one of the most peaceful places I have ever stayed in all of my life. My wife and I had all the privacy that we wanted among being a short distance from Duvall Street. Everything was within walking distance. The pool was tranquil. When we travel back to Key West we will definitely be rebooking this location.
Property is exactly as described which is to say it was perfect!
Great communication throughout the entire process with Dean. We even rode out Tropical Storm Elsa which thankfully caused little damage/disruption and the landscapers and pool cleaners were on-site the next day making sure everything was pristine.
Namaste contains everything you could possibly need. the air-conditioning worked great and the bed was super comfortable. Our only regret was having to leave after 5 wonderful nights and Dean even made that easy by letting us store our luggage at his office and make a quick change of clothes before our flight later in the day.
Namaste was five stars all the way around!
The stay at Namaste certainly elevated our visit. Everything was at our fingertips, but had our own oasis to retreat back to when ready to wind down. Plenty of thoughtful additions and touches. Highly recommend.
This property is absolutely gorgeous. Namaste is tucked away in the back so you feel very secluded. The house itself is just beautiful. I enjoyed my morning coffee in the garden every day and felt more relaxed than I have in years. I would definitely stay here again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Namaste. Although we had been to Key West several times in the past, staying at this property made this our favorite trip to Key West yet (that and COVID keeping the cruise ships and most of the other tourists away, giving the island the quaint, quiet, laid back feeling we remember from 40 years ago). The location was perfect, with everything we needed within short walking or biking distance.
We were a little concerned about being a block off of noisy Duval Street, but the neighborhood was very quiet and we had no trouble sleeping peacefully with the windows open. The house itself is absolutely beautiful and so completely and comfortably furnished, it prompted my partner to ask "Do you think they would sell it to us fully furnished?". She particularly enjoyed having the loft and rooftop deck as her own private office / retreat. The lush enclosed garden was a blissful jewel where we relaxed, ate our meals, and did our daily yoga. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the washer and dryer were a real bonus. Dean was extremely responsive and helpful with some minor problems, and we greatly appreciated his recommendation of We Cycle for having a pair of great bikes delivered before we arrived and picked up at the end of our stay.
We cannot imagine returning to Key West and staying anywhere else in the future! Thanks for spoiling us!
This property is beautiful. From the grounds to the actual condo. Itâs secluded on a small side street but literally 2 minute walk from Duval st. It stayed completely quiet even though it was so close to EVERYTHING. We were a short bike ride from beaches and other attractions.
Dean has literally thought of everything to make this place a homey, yet luxurious getaway! He was easy to contact during our stay with questions that arose.
We WILL be staying again! Donât pass this place up!!!!
This property deserves more than 5 stars!
Iâve stayed at many properties on the island, this is by far my favorite.
Dean was very helpful and attentive to all of my questions. He made it very easy to check in and followed up promptly to make sure I was comfortable and happy.
The pictures do not do this bungalow justice. This will be the only place I ever stay in Key West!
