About this property

Studio Blu - Historic Key West Studio + Bikes

Stay like a local at Studio Blu, a stylish private studio in Key West’s historic Cuban district.

Walk or bike to Old Town, Duval Street, beaches, restaurants, and cafés, then return to a quiet residential retreat with a private entrance, full kitchen, vintage claw-foot soaking tub, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary bikes and beach chairs.

Inside, you’ll find a comfortable queen bed, a well-equipped kitchen with an induction cooktop and convection oven, a private bathroom, and a compact living area designed for one or two guests.

Free street parking is available if you choose to bring a car, but many guests find Key West easy to explore on foot or by bike.

Studio Blu is a great fit for couples or solo travelers looking for a comfortable home base close to everything without being in the middle of the busiest part of town.

Great place for short vacation

We enjoyed our stay at Shawn’s studio. It’s a great place for a couple, quiet but close to all attractions. It has all we needed for four nights stay. Two bikes were a great bonus. The owner is very accommodating and responds to messages very fast.

Beautiful little cottage with everything you need

Excellent place to stay. The place was clean and tidy. It has the necessary amenities and the location is great! 10 minutes or less walk to the water front, grocery store less than a block away, and great little food shops close by for breakfast, lunch, and dinner needs. The owners were great and prompt with messages and checking to make sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Highly recommend and we would stay here again.

Just lovely. Perfect location.

Perfect little hideaway tucked just away from everything you could want - Duval street, pier with great views and small public beach, restaurants and coffee galore nearby. Bit of noise from street traffic in the early mornings but otherwise peaceful and private. Very well stocked kitchen and bathroom. Highly recommend.
