Inn Cogneato Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house, location and very nicely furnished. Property was clean and we had good customer service. Only point that we would make is the pool maintenance did not happen often. Only once we knew of in the month. Very close to great restaurants on the mid and south end of Bahama Village and Duval.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our month stay in June 2024 at Inn Cogneato. The cottage was perfect for my wife and I and a great location. The management company Historic Key West Vacation Rentals handled our entire stay perfectly with great communications, mid-stay cleaning, and weekly pool cleans and periodic pest control. We were at Key West airport to return home on 29th June 2024 and booked up again with Historic Key West Vacation Rentals / Inn Cogneato Cottage for 2025. Thank you to everyone!

Inn Magnifico!!!!!!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a most convenient location and so quiet! The next door neighbors are long lineage Key West natives and know most every person that walks by and live in the neighborhood. It's hard to believe just slightly a block and a half away is the bustle of Duval Street. We did NOT move the car as everything is nearby. Faustos is a very easy walk! The home is immaculate and freshly remodeled with upscale everything! Management company was beyond friendly and accommodating! Each member of staff is concerned for your happiness and no question is unanswered! Even the housekeeping staff were amazing! Can't go wrong! Very close to Blue Heaven and Firefly and Banana Cafe plus a very intoxicatingly sweet French croissant breakfast place just up on Duval that has amazing fresh breads daily! You REALLY can have a good life and experience in Key West from this location! By the way Speakeasy Rum Bar up on Duval is an excellent nightcap place with hundreds of different types of rum choices(and any other) to chose from and nearby Salty Angler has amazing smoked briskett! Enjoy!

Inn Cogneato feels like a second home.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second year my husband & I have stayed at Inn Cogneato Cottage. It's perfect for two people. Although, still comfortable for four. We were able to enjoy the pool everyday, the house is extremely clean & comfortable, walking distance to everything & the kitchen is awesome. It is short on closet space. Our only real disappointment is that we did not know until the end of our stay that the 30 day right of refusal was discontinued. We would of loved to rent Inn Cogneato in 2019.

We Didn’t Want to Leave!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our month in Key West and staying at this beautiful property. So tastefully decorated and comfortable at the same time. Loved the privacy of the enclosed pool area and enjoyed grilling and eating outside as well as relaxing in the lovely waterfall pool. The kitchen had everything you need to cook (nice dishes, utensils, glassware, etc.) and appeared to be newly remodeled with stylish granite countertops and white subway tiles. Has a cute kitchen island where we ate other than outside. We appreciated being able to bring our little dog with us and the park close by was super convenient for his morning walk. The location in the Bahama Village made it easy to walk everywhere and only moved our car when we went to the grocery! Having a mid month cleaning was a bonus and the property management company was very helpful and responsive with the few small issues and questions we had. A perfect place to stay in Key West!

Inn Cogneato is a beautiful property in a great location!

I just returned home after living at Inn Cogneato for a month. I loved the place! The property managers were very helpful and very responsive. The house was immaculate, beautifully furnished and very well equipped. The pool area was a real pleasure, and a great place to cool off and relax. The kitchen has the best appliances and was fully equipped. Everything that I needed was right there. I felt very safe in the neighborhood, and the location is perfect. I chose to not have a car for the month and everything was an easy walk from this location. 3 minute walk to the community pool, 3 minute walk to Duval, 8 minutes to CVS or Walgreens, 12 minutes to Fausto's for groceries, 18 minutes to Mallory Square. 18 minutes to Captain's Corner for Scuba Diving. All in all, this is a five-star property, I loved my stay there, and I highly recommend it!

Nice home were very happy

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived in Keywest earlier then our check in time and took a drive to the Inn Cogneato cottage. We were skeptical of the location - meaning the boarded up cottage next door and a couple of other homes on the street. But during our month stay we found the Key West area in this condition. Our rental was charming we sat on the front porch in the morning and had breakfast. A few mosquitos 🦟 so get spay. The back yard pool was great and we cooked on the bbq. The air conditioning was a plus. Easy walking to Duval St. We would rent this home again in a heartbeat. House keeping was great and the property manager was attentive and friendly. We were also able to stay a few hours longer due to a late flight. Thank you Owners for sharing your home!!

Loved our stay!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was amazing. We loved it, as did my parents and brother who joined us for different weeks while we were there. It was incredibly clean, and the absolutely top rated quality finishes, amazingly stocked kitchen (better than my home!), private pool and absolutely wonderful, prompt and professional staff at the management company made our stay feel luxurious. The location was perfect. It was quiet, (except for those silly wild Key West chickens!) out of the "very busy" end of Duval, (yet easily walkable there when wanted) and very close to our favourite patios and restaurants of Key West. I'd definitely recommend staying here.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time in Inn Cogneato. The house was newly updated, well maintained, very clean, and lived up to all the descriptions in the marketing materials. Loved the pool (great warm water temp.) and the outdoor space in general. Grilled many times on the nice Weber. Manager was available to take care of some minor problems with the cable. Great location - walking distance to all the places you want to be in KW. Spent a lot of time at the Fort Zachary beach. And the upper Duval restaurants and bars!
