We absolutely loved this place, great location, great pool, etc. The only downfall is there is a scrap yard right next door and they move their heavy machinery at 4:00am until 9:00am. It's not quiet at all. This makes it hard to have the windows open and enjoy the fresh air. We would stay there again because the pluses out weight the minues. Also, the fold out bet is awful, worse then you can imagine. We actually had a person sleep on the hardwood floor to avoid the foldout bed.

So the house is a nice place - It needs somethings though. For instance in the living room you have the option for you and one other person to sit on the couch and two additional directors fold up chairs. Functionality fail. The mattresses are not so comfy. Other than that the house is clean and useful. The scrapyard next door you will hear at 7:30 every single day of the week. So if you wanna sleep in, it isn't going to happen. If the purpose of vacation is to get up and go explore - then it can be considered your alarm clock. The location is perfect and the one parking spot is great. Don't drive - Bring your own beach towels because there are stains all over everyone of the beach towels in the house. Average Rental - cute lil place.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. This is a first for hearing that the furniture is uncomfortable; we will certainly look into it. The beach towels will be replaced and could have been changed during your stay with a quick call to our office. As far as the business next door, it is unfortunate that their activity disturbed you. This has been a sporadic inconvenience for our guests as you can see from previous reviews. Old Town Key West is a historic business district and brings with it the sounds and activities of business. More typically, we would hear that roosters are the culprit during early morning hours! We would certainly appreciate the opportunity to assist with your vacation plans in the future, looking at homes that are further away from Duval Street and the hub of downtown activity.

Amelia home gets five stars for cleanliness, comfort, and location! Beautiful decor, private swimming pool,and easy parking! Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Our family didn't want to leave. Beyond our expectations! Making reservations was a breeze and a friendly staff! Be aware: The house is located right beside a towing yard where they fix electric cars/scooters. Do not worry!Amelia house has plenty of trees, and a fence which provides plenty of privacy for the swimming pool. You can see the towing yard if you look out some of the windows upstairs in the house, but I promise this was not a problem for us. Other reviews on the amelia home were bad because of this towing yard...like awful noise...we only experienced one early morning of loud noise that lasted about ten minutes. We laughed about it! Do not miss out on this wonderful rental because of other bad reviews (because of the towing yard next door). This house is awesome and my family has traveled all over the world and we are very snobby about where we stay! Our favorite hotels are the Four Seasons, Ritz C., etc...so we do not settle for any garbage when it comes to rentals. The house has everything you need, we loved to walk to downtown(about 10 minutes) and we spent wonderful days and nights by the swimming pool. The house was one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed! Couldn't find anything dirty or out of place. Only complaint was the waterfall on the swimming pool didn't run and the underwater swimming pool light wasn't working...other than that..the pool was perfect, clean, and was so relaxing to have our own private pool...other rentals sometimes make you share a pool with others. Thanks for a great stay!

The location is fantastic. I stayed with three friends and it was the perfect place for us. The week we were there it was hot! The pool was a welcome respite from this heat. We didn't really have any issues with noise next door. We did not have any serious issues just some minor bothers that are good to keep in mind. The house is advertised as having wireless and the reality is that unless you are sitting in the kitchen this can be hit or miss with very low connectivity. The router is in the home next door and this caused problems for us in trying to answer some emails and/or even stream our Pandora account by the pool. It's 2011 this should not be a hard problem to fix. Also, the kitchen is not really that well equipped utensil wise, if you are creative (as we were) this won't be a problem. It would have been helpful to have light switches labeled there are still some lights we never really figured out how to turn on and off. The people at at Home in Key West were really great to work with. I was worried that in my first interactions there was a level of friendliness lacking. However, they responded promptly and directly every time we spoke and even sent someone out to address the Wi-fi issue without success but the attempt was made. In the end we are not looking to be friends with the staff we simply want a trouble free vacation and that is really what we got! So, thank you for your help and a wonderful place to stay on our vacation! We hope others enjoy it as much as we did!

Fantastic place- location was very close to just about everything. Only thing that was missing was the waterfall running into the pool, other then that flawless.

We will definitely stay here again and are planning to do so in February 2012. We stayed in the amelia house with our daughter, son-in-law and their dog and our dog. We enjoyed the private pool everyday after walking back and forth on Duval Street. We were able to park the car when we arrived and walk to all of the restaurants, bars, and sights, including para sailing, that we wanted to visit. At first we were leary of the big secuity deposit that was required because of the dogs, but we kept the dogs crated when we were out, the dogs are extremely well behaved, and we received the total secuity deposit back. We were pleasantly suprised at how nicely the house was furnished, how clean it was, and how well kept. The free Wifi was another bonus. A great find and we definitely recommend The amelia House and at Home in Key West for any visits to Key West, Florida.

The house was beautiful. There were six adults and we really enjoyed our stay. Location was great and we loved the outdoor patio with grill and the little pool.

First, the team of at Home Key West was professiona and incredibly responsive. The property was clean, inviting and comfortable. However, the metal yard next door started before 8am every morning including weekends and was very noisy. For that reason I will not rent that specific property in the future. It's a shame because the townhouse is very lovely, the pool was great, but the noise just too much.
Thank you for reviewing our home. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the home. Noise from the business next door is sporadic as you can see from previous reviews of the home, and similar to having noisy residential neighbors (or roosters) -- it is not possible to guarantee tranquil neighbors either way. We look forward to working with you again to plan a visit to Key West and will do our utmost to find a more secluded spot for you.

My wife and I spent a very enjoyable week at 605 amelia for Christmas 2010. The property was meticulously maintained, sparkling clean and is in a very convenient location. I know other reviewers have made negative comment regarding an adjacent commercial property, however, my wife and I enjoyed the morning conversation the workers had every morning while we were having our morning coffee. As a rule, you didn't even know it was there, and it wouldn't negatively influence our return to this gorgeaous property. It was comfortable, tastefully decorated and the gardens were magnificent. The pool was clean and well maintained. The folks at at Home Key West, made this stay easy and painless, special thanks to Gail. We will be back.

We liked the house just fine. We wish it was disclosed that there was a scrap metal/junk yard right next door so that we could have made a more informed decision. The workers were there very early in the morning and woke us up every day early. Had we known this, we would have chosen a different rental home. The only other thing was that we arrived after your office hours and had to make an emergency call to you due to the fact that the wi-fi password for the home was not given to us either prior to or in any of the papers that we got on arrival. Other than those 2 things, we had a very enjoyable stay.

Our sales representative Sharon was extremely helpful. The home was very cozy, clean, and looked better than in the picture. The home was two blocks away from Duval Street, but a far from the heart of Duval Street. Overall the expirience at the vacation home was great. The only cleaniess issue was that one of the bed sheets had a huge blood stain so we went ahead and changed the sheets.
