Settled in a small community in Old Town, only a short walk to Duval Street, this lovely cottage offers everything you can expect from a perfect Key West rental. This charming cottage is full of color and creativity, perfect for a couple looking to be close to all the Key West has to offer.
Fun collectibles and the quirkiness of this cottage bring a unique feel that keeps bringing visitors back to Key West.

A half bath and sleeper sofa on the main level allow extra space for an unexpected guest.
Upstairs you will find a loft-style bedroom in cheery colors and a private bathroom to make the suite complete.
The cottage also has a private backyard that is perfect for sipping your morning coffee or unwinding in a tranquil setting with a margarita at the end of a busy day sightseeing.

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!

Super convenient to everything on Duval plus by taking the back way to the water front. Would highly recommend this place for ease of getting around downtown.

Thank you for your great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the convenient location and easy access to both Duval Street and the waterfront—it really makes exploring the area effortless.
We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to host you again!
The pool is great, and the grounds are well-maintained. The unit is tired and needs to be updated. The furnishings, such as the sofa and bed, are dated and worn. Great location.
The host team was welcoming and provided great information on things to do in KW. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well-stocked with everything you could need!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The pool is lovely (though too cold to swim in in November) it is nice and quiet, and the location is perfect for exploring old town.

Absolutely loved our stay here!! Great location close to Duval street but quiet at night. The pool was just steps from your door and much needed on the hot days!! Very clean and plenty of towels and extra beach towels were a nice touch!! Would definitely stay here again!
