We are located 5 short blocks to Duval and Historic Seaport. This is the listing to rent the upper unit named Sea Monkey.

Live like a local in this renovated, private, historic Key West home located in the heart of Old Town near the corner of Truman and Frances, five blocks from Duval and Historic Seaport. Some of the best restaurants in town are within 2 blocks: Seven Fish, Sandy's, Jose's, El Siboney, Ambrosia, Fausto's Grocery store.

This private duplex offers 2 units, an upper (vrbo # 2333364) and a lower (vrbo # 2331506, also a 2 BR, 2 BA, plus queen sleeper). This listing is for the upper unit, but both can be rented together.

Want to get out on the beautiful waters surrounding Key West? The Florida Keys are home to the only living coral reef system in the United States and the third largest in the world.

Please inquire if you have questions about Key West Monthly Vacation rentals. City ordinance requires monthly rentals on most homes, though you can stay for a shorter period if you like. It is often more economical to rent a house for a month than a hotel for a week or two. You have more space, the ability to cook in, and space for family and friends to visit during your stay and share the cost.

REVIEWS AND EXPERIENCE: I have been managing my own vacation properties for 15 years. Although this is a new property for me, please see my vrbo listings 2331506 and 2038745 for my 5 star reviews and rating as an owner and manager. I am a Premier Host with a 5 star rating and take great pride in my homes.

Loved the host and accommodations

We enjoyed our 2-month stay and hope to return next year. Marla is a great host and supported our stay in every way. We also enjoyed boating with Sea Monkey Ocean Adventures. Captain Stewart is the best - very flexible and accommodating.

Modern "Old Town" Charm

We loved our stay in Sea Monkey! The 2 bedroom, 2 bath upper unit was supremely comfortable with central air and large beautifully decorated bedrooms with excellent mattresses. We especially enjoyed watching palm trees in the breeze against the background of a clear blue sky while playing games and enjoying dinner outside on the covered back deck. The great location afforded us an easy walk or bike ride to all that Key West has to offer. We couldn't imagine a better host than Marla. Thank you!

Great condo

The condo was wonderful and it had a fully stocked kitchen with all types of cookware to cook anything. I love to cook. It also had an outdoor grill (most places do not). The owner, Marla, was great. We walked everywhere and took the “free bus” daily. Nice restaurants close by, and a grocery store too. I would highly recommend this condo rental.

Great Stay at Sea Monkey

My Sis & I so enjoyed our stay at the lovely Sea Monkey upper unit that we plan to come again in 2024. The location was in a quiet neighborhood1/2 block from Truman and away from the noise of Duvall. We could reach Duvall and most anywhere we wanted to go within a 15 to 25 minute walk. The unit had everything one could want for cooking and comfort and had 3 lovely outdoor areas. We never used the backyard seating area as the upper balcony served our needs for eating and playing games, and we also enjoyed reading in the rocking chairs on the front porch. We only had one minor issue. A slow tub drain & Marla was there immediately to fix it. All in all a 5 star experience.

Perfect location, well maintained rental with everything you need to feel at home.

My daughter and I stayed at this property for a month. We spend our summers in KW and decided to try this property this year. Marla is the best host! She keeps in contact up until and through the trip. This property had everything that you would need to feel right at home. A fully stocked kitchen with all cookware necessary to make full meals, a washer/dryer combo to keep up with your laundry. The beds in both rooms are very comfortable. The property was very clean when we arrived and ready for us to check in. We had access to our own private balcony, as well as a backyard space with a gas grill. This property is centrally located on the island. We rented bikes for the month and only had to use my car to grocery shop once a week up on the north end of the island. Overall, we had a great experience! I cant wait to come back again next year to this property.

Fabulous Month Away from Home

Marla was a fantastic host and the home was clean, well-appointed and just as advertised. It is a short walk to just about any place you want to be in Key West, just far enough away to have a serene and quiet space away from the hustle of Duval. We truly enjoyed our month away and I would absolutely recommend this unit to anyone heading down to Key West for a visit.

Perfect

As soon as I walked in the door of this VRBO I couldn’t believe how nice it was. The guests that visited me were also very impressed. This rental is a few blocks from Duvall and really a few blocks from anywhere on Key West. I had a beautiful and restorative one month stay at this property. The owner was attentive and had everything organized as far as check in and check out. I intend to rent this same location next year.
