  Bedroom carpet needed to be shampooed, toilet handle needed to be repaired, kept falling off. It was obvious it had been in disrepair forsome time. Kitchen and living room were satisfactory. Toilet was just the right size for 5 year old.

  a guest from Red Creek, NY recommends this vacation rental

  We really enjoyed the direct access to Thomas Street. Street noise was not an issue at all. I’ve stayed in several different units in the shipyard and, with many of them, they are a little dated. This unit desperately needs new carpets in the bedrooms. The bathroom could be updated as well. We were very happy with Compass Realty and their quick response to an issue we had with the loss of power. I’ve rented from them once before and would not hesitate to use them again.

  When we arrived at condo cleaning lady came back to take photo of a cabinet that neeeded fixing,we told her the toilet was not flushing right.We told her the place was very clean inside. She said she would report it, but it would most likely be Monday tell they come out. We went in on Monday and Megan had the handyman already on his way and the plumber. Compass realty was great. Who ever owns the condo really needs to do some up keep on the place. Doors are rotting away afraid to open bedroom patio doors for fear the glass would break. This was our 3rd stay at Shady Nook and last, but not with compass realty. Can't beat the location though.We had a great time.

  Cynthia G from Longmeadow, MA recommends this vacation rental

  Totally enjoyed our weeks stay at the Shady Nook. Had all the conveniences of home and more. Really enjoyed our private entrance into our backyard patio too. I had been a bit nervous that being so close to the road might be noisy or we would feel less secure but that was no problem at all. If I had to think of something to make it even better would be to add more mirrors as there only mirrors in the bathroom - we were a group of 3 women so more mirrors would have been more convenient for getting ready for the day. Everything was in good working order and nicely decorated. I do just want to let folks know that if you have to reset the wifi the wifi box is in the bedroom with the queen bed. We got confused as we thought it was the box connected to the main tv in the living room but then again we are not all that tech savvy.
  All in all this was a 5 star vacation!

  Lloyd H from Bethlehem, PA recommends this vacation rental

  Our stay was very good. When we arrived we were told the unit we reserved had lost its a/c so we were put in another unit which turned out to bean even better experience. The unit, in the “Shipyard” section was a reasonable walk to everything. We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the unit. Staying at these condominiums is like being at home, almost. You are able to cook if you wish and pack less because you have laundry facilities in the unit. This is now our go to place in Key West.

  Tracy K from Valley Center, CA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  Rental had prior reviews of plumbing issues in bathroom which I figured would be fixed by the time we rented, but they weren’t . Toilet was a low, slow flush, as was the bathroom and the tub, well if you like getting a gross foot soak while taking a shower....need I say more?
  
  Compass Realty was contact three times and never responded to our issues. Also, the second bedroom with two twins was so tight you couldn’t even walk around the beds. Better suited to one full size bed.
  
  I will say they had plenty of towels, coffee filters and dishes, but sadly the only positive I can write here.

  Patrick G from Spring hill, FL recommends this vacation rental

  We have stayed in the Annex before so we knew what we were going for... generally quieter spot off DuVal. The unit itself needs some paint, the only toilet will give you one flush and when I looked to see if it was fixable , the insides look decades old. Previous reviews stated there is a single mirror in the whole unit, a simple behind the door mirror would help. The ac unit thermostat is another relic, we came into the property with it set at 80 and it was an ice house. Had to set it to 85 to keep it just right. A nest would be an upgrade that would prob save the owners money. The locks were sticky , digital key pads would be an improvement and safer as how many people have had those keys over the years? Finally, the pool has a few owner Karen’s who patrol that area and are rude. Our group wasn’t ones being approached but we witnessed a woman get annoyed at another group for having a small glass on the pool patio. Claimed they would have to drain the whole pool if it broke. It wasn’t near the pool. Other reports of raving Karen calling security if women went topless or wore simple nipple cover made daily poolside chatter. Unit owners making great profit off the units should not allow women to be body shamed and should speak to the board.

  taylor b from Gower, MO recommends this vacation rental

  This unit was very nice and conveniently located. It is easily accessed through the back gate. When we arrived, it was already dark and it took us a while to both get into the fenced in area to get the keys then figure out which unit was ours (It's near the very front but tucked away a bit.). Loved that it had a washer/dryer and dishwasher. The shower door needs some help, it seems to be falling apart a bit, and water leaks out, but still functional. We had a late flight out and the management company graciously allowed us to stay a few more hours which I appreciated so much. Great place, highly recommend.

  Pam C from Uniontown, OH does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The condo provides one additional mirror, but it is located in the bathroom, which doesn't help at when four women are trying to get ready to go out for the evening. There is not enough seating on the patio, 3 chairs for 4 people. Only 2 chairs provided for the kitchen table. The back door to the patio is very difficult to open. We had to kill 2 cockroaches during our stay. The tv's in the bedroom would not work. You are provided with 2 rickety old beach chairs for 4 people. The dressers are so small that one person had to live out her suitcase for the week. The pull out couch was covered in food crumbs when we pulled it out to use. There is not any seating on the front porch. The only plus was plenty of bath towels. We've stayed in nicer places for 1/2 the money. Would not recommend this condo.

  Tara Y from BUCHANAN, MI recommends this vacation rental

  This rental first and foremost is in a great location. Accessible from Thomas St via the back patio gate was a great added perk. The kitchen had everything we needed. And the unit had some nice extras like laundry detergent and beach chairs. The beds were comfortable, the sleeper sofa adequate. The only thing I’d recommend would be mirrors for bedrooms. When you put 5 people in this unit, the bathroom gets busy and having mirrors and maybe even a vanity in the bedrooms would really be useful!

  This unit is in a great location in Key West. Walking distance to everything you could want. Clean and well stocked. The only things I would recommend are an extra mirror outside the bathroom and putting a key box on the unit itself. Having to get the keys from that far down the road with luggage is not easy!

  I've stayed in this unit several times its location and easy access to Thomas St are a plus. COVID may have something to do with it but I found there were less "leftovers" than previous visits. (Trash bags, paper products and the such). weathered TS Elsa with no issues.

  Good. Upstairs unit occupants were very noisy. They were stomping throughout the day, and appeared to have some sort of construction project underway.
