| Upon our arrival at Southard Comfort,there was brie,crackers and a bottle of wine.Michael had recommended Alabama Jacks and their conch fritters while driving to the Keys.(absolutely delicious)The house was exquisite and certainly worth what we pd.We tried to try all recommendations for dining but couldn't fit it all in.My fave was Mangia,Mangia.My son,his wife and her Mom were all pleased with our stay and wish to move there when I hit the lottery.Seriosly though,the people,in particular impressed me with their kindness and carefree attitudes.This was a really nice street to be on also;So centrally located without all the hustle and bustle on Duval .We thank you again Michael for allowing us to share your lovely home |

We rented Southard Comfort with extended family in celebration of a "milestone" birthday. There were four adults and two children in our party. Awaiting our arrival was a fresh bouquet of flowers, a bottle of wine and chocolates. A nice touch to start off our celebration week. Southard Comfort is exactly as it looks in photos. It took several days to soak in the nuances of the incredible decor and the outdoor living is fabulous! It is located in a great old Key West neighborhood, close to all the action, but has a quiet residential feel. Michael checked in with us our first night, and is incredibly friendly and helpful. Although it was not needed he was a phone call away for any questions. Our granddaughter wanted to stay here forever, until she discovered Hemingway's home and all the cats, sorry Michael. Southard Comfort was a lovely oasis for our visit to Key West...we look forward to returning.

| Six of us rented Southard Comfort for a reunion, and it was the perfect venue. As woodworkers and do-it-yourselfers, we were extremely impressed with the historic value of the house, which Michael has done a wonderful job of accenting and preserving. The decor is wonderful--exactly what I would expect of the "Conch Republic". As mentioned in other comments, the pool and garden was our favorite spot. We had to drag ourselves away just to go and see some of the town! The house is conveniently located close to Duval St. and the center of nightlife, and the walk affords an excellent opportunity to see one of the old Key West neighborhoods. Michael was the consummate host; he made us feel at home from the first minute we were there. He was also extremely helpful with recommendations for both eating and entertainment. I can't wait to get back. |

Four of us women stayed at 'Southard Comfort' for our 5th annual 'girls week' in the Keys! What a time we had! More than enough room for all of us to have our own space. All the comforts of home. So much to look at with all the incredible decor - and everything was impeccably immaculate!
The french doors from the living room to the pool area were the biggest highlight. We LIVED out there... with the tunes cranked, floating in tubes. Another highlight was the outdoor shower. We were nervous at first - but it is COMPLETELY private! Also, the alarm system in the house made us feel extra safe. Our landlord (& now friend) Michael couldn't have been more accomodating. We mentioned one thing that we couldn't find in the house - and he bought & delivered it the next day 9 AM! Incredible!
We can't say enough great things about our week on Southard. Highly recommend this property! |

| I gave myself the most incredible birthday gift this year by booking the Southard Comfort for two of the three months I stayed in Key West during the winter of 2008. It was by far my most favorite place of all. The photos you see are exactly what I found when I arrived. The lush grounds and pool really are just one step from the living room! You can keep the three sets of French doors open 24/7 to let in the cool breezes without worry or even the need for air conditioning. The owner is a great guy and was a very hands-on landlord who catered to my every whim and request. The house was packed with guests during my birthday-bash week, and there were six of us in the pool with floats and all. The highest compliment I can give is that no one wanted to leave to go into town much or do anything else but relax and enjoy this private heaven. The roomy outdoor shower was one of the biggest hits of all. Everyone lined up to shower outside daily with the warm sun and the blue sky as their ceiling. I mean…..What’s not to like?? Thanks for the memories! |

| Southard comfort was a fabulous place for our family of four. As always, the house and pool do not seem as big as in the pics, but the house and patio have the funky charm to make up for it! We have fond memories about staying at Southard Comfort, and would stay there again if we got the chance. Can't go wrong with the Gentry's management, they responded to our every whim! |
