About this property
Old Town Key West Cottage
Designed for easygoing island living, the cottage has a relaxed, open feel that makes it easy to settle in from the moment you arrive. The kitchen, dining, and living spaces are connected, creating a natural gathering place whether you’re preparing breakfast, enjoying a leisurely dinner, or relaxing together after a day around the island.
The home’s real appeal is the way it opens to the outdoors. The spacious patio extends the living space and gives you your own private outdoor area to enjoy the Key West sunshine and tropical surroundings. It’s the kind of space where mornings start slowly, afternoons stretch a little longer, and evenings are best spent outside.
The sleeping arrangements include a comfortable king bedroom and a separate queen bedroom, making the cottage a great fit for two couples, friends traveling together, or a small family. With two bathrooms and private laundry, the home is also well suited to longer stays when having a little extra space and convenience makes all the difference.
Just outside the cottage, the shared swimming pool provides an easy way to cool off and settle into the island pace. Whether you spend the afternoon poolside or head out to explore Key West, having the pool only steps from your door means relaxation is always close by.
There is also on site parking, a particularly convenient feature for an Old Town property. Leave the car behind and explore on foot, or use it to discover more of Key West and the Lower Keys at your own pace.
Most of all, the cottage captures the character of Key West itself. The white picket fence, tropical setting, outdoor living spaces, and relaxed atmosphere create a stay that feels distinctly Old Town rather than simply a place to sleep. It’s a comfortable home base for slowing down, soaking up the sunshine, and experiencing Key West the way it’s meant to be enjoyed.

Location 1 block off duval, right about the middle point between the ocean and the Gulf. And i didn't have to break the bank to stay. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again.
We rented this property for February and March so my 80+ y/o mother could escape the cold winter up north. Turns out, it was the perfect place for our needs. The house is conveniently located just off of Duval Street making it ideal for walking to all the surrounding attractions, restaurants, bars and shops. The house is comfortable, very clean and in a very quiet location. We found the owner and property manager to be responsive and professional. I highly recommend this property!
A newly renovated property with an open concept layout for the living room and kitchen. The house has an excellent location, right off Duval street. Even though it is in heart of old town, it is really quiet in the evenings. There are two bedrooms; the master bedroom has a comfortable king size bed. In addition to a beautiful interior space, there is a large deck, with a portion covered by an extended roof area and a spot that is more sunny. The managing agent, James, was very helpful and accommodating. We stayed a month in 2022-2023, and are ready to book this house again. This is a fantastic property that feels comfortable from the moment you walk in. As it was the first time for us renting a vacation property, we were pleasantly surprised by the whole experience.

About the host
Hosted by Alison
Key West has been home to me for more than a decade, and I’ve had the opportunity to experience the island from just about every angle through my career in hospitality and property management. I love everything that makes Key West unique, from its historic architecture and colorful neighborhoods to its incredible restaurants, beautiful water, and famously laid back way of life.
I’m passionate about creating stays that feel easy, comfortable, and genuinely connected to the island. I’m always happy to share local recommendations, from favorite places to eat and hidden gems to the best spots for enjoying a Key West sunset.
Whether you’re visiting for a long weekend, a special celebration, or an extended escape, I want you to feel at home while having the opportunity to experience the very best of Key West.
Why they chose this property
The location is one of the biggest reasons to choose this cottage. Set in historic Old Town and just steps from Duval Street, you’re right in the middle of the Key West experience. Walk to restaurants, bars, shops, galleries, and many of the island’s most popular attractions without needing to get in the car.
At the same time, the cottage offers a quiet retreat behind its private white picket fence. After a day of exploring, you can come back to your own outdoor space, take a dip in the pool, and enjoy a little peace and privacy away from the energy of Duval Street.
With the best of Old Town practically outside your door, on site parking, and a comfortable home to return to, this property offers the ideal combination of location, convenience, and classic Key West charm.
What makes this property unique
The Old Town Cottage offers the best of both worlds: a prime location in the heart of Key West with a private, peaceful retreat to come home to. Tucked behind a charming white picket fence, the cottage feels secluded while being just steps from the energy of Duval Street.
The true indoor and outdoor living experience is a standout feature, with the open living spaces flowing directly onto a spacious private patio. An outdoor shower, tropical setting, and pool just steps away add to the relaxed island experience.
On site parking is an especially valuable benefit in historic Old Town, while the cottage’s walkable location means you can easily leave the car behind and explore restaurants, nightlife, shopping, and attractions on foot. The combination of privacy, outdoor space, pool access, parking, and classic Key West character makes this a particularly special place to stay.
