About this property

Duval Sea Turtle by AvantStay | Great Location | Close to Shops | Shared Pool!

Located above a courtyard “mall” with shops and restaurants on upper Duval Street - you’ll find the delightful Duval Sea Turtle townhome within easy walking distance to everything!

Meticulously decorated with art from local galleries and artists, you’ll be greeted by the super-sized sea turtle painting as you enter this roomy townhome. It’s the perfect size for families or two or more couples as it can accommodate six guests. The spacious master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a balcony – the best spot for morning news and coffee. The queen bedroom includes a twin bed, with another full bath.

The soothing pastels of the fully appointed kitchen beckon the chef in the group with your choice of dining options, inside or out on another balcony off the living room. Other amenities include; WiFi, Bose surround sound and three TVs.

You’ll find that the large community pool and lounge area is the place to relax after a long day of site-seeing. The entire courtyard area has the feel of a tropical garden and if you’re lucky enough to be here during one of Key West’s many parades, you have one of the best views in town from the deck.

As mentioned, delicious seafood, sushi, or Italian at three restaurants is just mere steps away just, or head to town for many other options. Visit the nearby Butterfly Conservatory or take the must-do selfie at the Southernmost Point. You’ll soon realize, there’s no need for a car - leave it secured in the covered parking lot your whole stay. Duval Sea Turtle is truly a Key West experience to enjoy!

Key West is the place to visit the lively nightlife and relax in the historic charm, flamboyance, and conch-style architecture that early Bahamian settlers made famous. It embodies a clash of the past and the present, and every building (including this rental) in Key West reflects this eclectic ambiance!

AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips!

First timers in Key West

Spent 3 nights here with another couple. Great condo, easy access to downtown bars and restaurants. Seemed to have everything if you wanted to cook in the condo but we ate out all the time. Pool was clean and plenty of good seating. Garage parking.

Great location, great space

Overall we were extremely happy with this property. It was in a perfect location just off Duval. The CVS and convenience store right out front were super convenient. There is also a variety of restaurants below the complex. The only complaint was the balcony space - both faced the outside of the complex where th dumpsters were so you couldn't sit outside withough having to deal with the smell of trash.

Great place to stay small pool but that okay we had a blast.

Lots of lizards and chicken. Very clean place. Only thing I seen was one roach in a drawer the day before we left. We didn’t see any all week. So I’m sure it’s one that had just made its way in. Would book again

Clean, no hassle home

Great place to stay. We walked everywhere from here but if walking’s not your thing there are plenty of nearby rental places for for scooters bikes and golf carts. Only thing we had to do upon departure was take the trash out. We were able to check in earlier than the check in time due to their prompt cleaning from the renters before. The place did have a bit of a smell (not bad just interesting) that reminded me of my grandma’s house when we first got there but soon became unnoticeable - i think it was just whatever they used to clean with. Uncontrollable by the property management but good thing to note is a couple of the local roosters thinks that dawn occurs at about 3 in the morning right outside the master bedroom and there was quite a bit of morning delivery street noise. The couple staying in the second bedroom didn’t notice it. Community Pool was refreshing and clean. All in all great place in a great location.

Loved our stay! Beautiful condo just as appears in pictures! Loved the salt water pool on the property also. Condo very clean and comfortable, and such a quiet place. Was so close to restaurants, and very convenient to everything we wanted to do. Would definately stay again, and recommend a cuban restaurant nearby on Duval with great cuban coffe and breakfast tacos!

Great location, plenty of space, nice house.

We stayed here to celebrate our daughter’s 18th birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The check-in process was super easy and stress-free. The home was not only beautiful and comfortable, but it also had everything we needed—from extra blankets for guests sleeping on the couch to a fully stocked kitchen. There was coffee, tea, sugar, spices—you name it! The location was ideal, with plenty of restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. We truly felt right at home and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Right on Duval St, far away from the loud bars, great place with plenty supplies that were furnished. Only downfall was the mold on the master bath tub. Also too many artificial plants! They were too big for the place, had to stash a lot in a corner.

Close proximity to all of the highlights on Key West yet just off the beaten path to avoid the late night noise. We walked, biked and explored everything the island had to offer. We were thankful for the nice accommodations and cold air conditioning! We would highly recommend this place.
