About this property
Patio Lounge w/ Hot Tub • 1 Block to Duval St | Casita de Catherine by AvantStay
Casita de Catherine is a hidden Key West gem that sleeps 4 guests with a king bed in the bedroom and a sleeper sofa in the living room. This single-level home has no stairs, making it perfect for travelers of any age. Enjoy island life like a local in this cozy cottage on a quiet street, complete with a welcoming outdoor space and private hot tub for laid-back entertaining.
The rear entry opens through French doors into a quaint interior with rich terracotta flooring through the kitchen and living areas. Rustic wooden cabinets are stocked with everything needed for a home-cooked meal, while the living room offers a comfortable sleeper sofa for additional guests. Just off the living room, behind a beautiful glass-paneled door, the inviting king-sized canopy bed provides a restful place to unwind.
Enjoy this private home of a local author, set on the island where writers write, roosters crow, and the sun shines. Located less than one block off Duval Street, near the famous La Te Da restaurant and bar, and just a few blocks from The Southernmost Point, Casita de Catherine offers a charming home base in the heart of Key West.
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!

The casita was perfect! Location was great, best amenities I’ve experienced, decor and layout plus the outside area gave us the best place to gather and celebrate several family birthdays over the course of the week! Would highly recommend this location and if go back to Key West, would love to stay again!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Jill. We're glad you chose our place for your weekend getaway, even if it was a short stay! Hopefully next time you’ll get to enjoy more of the outdoor amenities—especially the hot tub. We'd love to have you back!
The home is well-appointed, instructions on using everything were very clear and it was very clean. The location really can't be beat - it's nestled among several properties but still felt very private. We'd definitely stay again.

Wonderful private 1 bedroom villa. Very convenient location and excellent accommodations. Truly loved the hot tub. Glad that we rented a very small car as parking was tight but we were able to walk to almost all locations.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a wonderful review!
Our stay was amazing. We had a washer/dryer issue and our host and AvantStay were most accommodating. Our host actually did a load of laundry for us! There is a parking spot out front that is perfect for a golf cart, etc. The cottage is just perfect for 2. I loved the kitchen. It would be perfect to cook in ( I Didn’t) but you could. I can’t go on enough about AvantStay and the host!! Truly remarkable!! Thank you and we will be back.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad the cottage, amenities, and host met your needs, and that our team could assist with the washer/dryer issue. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back.
This was a great little house to stay at while visiting Key West. My family had a great time and enjoyed being close to so many quality cafes, restaurants places to visit. You are walking distance of the southern most point, the community pool (free) and park, the Hemingway house and many other places.
