About this property

Architect's Personal Residence, Private Pool, 1 Blk. to Duval

Completed in 1992, this two bedroom two bath home was designed by a local architect for the relaxed Key West tropical lifestyle. Located on a quiet old town street only one block from Upper Duval Street and Truman Avenue, it offers off-street parking, easy walking/biking to Key West’s finest dining, shopping, attractions, and the beach at Fort Taylor State Park.

The one and a half story living space has nine french doors opening onto a private courtyard with a solar-heated pool and spa. High ceilings with multiple skylights, pickled pine wooden walls, casual furniture and the colorful hues of the Caribbean create a space that is both soothing and stimulating. Both bedrooms have tile floors and double french doors opening onto the courtyard and reflect the island's maritime influence with built-in furniture and storage areas. Besides the spectacular indoor shower, there is a small private deck with an outdoor shower for the truly native experience. The site plan is similar to a courtyard home. The bedrooms are in a separate building from the living space. The pool and spa are totally private and you share no space with anyone.

Maximum accommodation is six persons. There is a king size bed in the Master bedroom, a queen size bed in the second bedroom and queen sofa bed in the living area. The living room and bedrooms have smart tvs.

Payments, less credit card costs, are fully refundable with 30 days notice prior to day of scheduled check-in. Payments within 30 days are non-refundable, however, if you cancel your reservation within the 30-day period, you will receive a credit that can be applied to another stay within one year of the original reservation.

The Best
David worked with me on different aspects of our vacation. There were six family members that went for my son's 21st birthday. We had friends meet us from San Diego and New Jersey on the first night at the house. There was more than enough room for all of this to socialize, 14 total to give an idea a space. This was the perfect place in every way

Perfect House & Location
We stayed in this house for a long weekend visit to Key West. Cannot overstate how great this spot is. Perfect house for hanging in when you want to, but quick access to everything happening on Duval St. Absolutely loved it and hope to visit again. Thanks for hosting us!

Great Location and Layout
Pros: House was super clean, and the layout is terrific. Owner is very communicative. Location is great. Lots of nice towels. Cons: Spa was broken, dryer was broken, grill is unuseable, there was no shower curtain liner, couch is very uncomfortable, toilet was leaking. Sheets had holes in them. This house has so much potential, but is in need of an update. There are just a lot of things that are old and/or worn down. The owner is very nice and responded to us very quickly about the spa heater not working, but we were never able to get it up and running. The location and layout were perfect for us and our teenager. A refresh of this home would make all the difference.

Awesome
Perfect location. House was a block away from the action of Duval but still surprisingly quiet. The backyard provides a secluded, cooler, quiet haven when we needed a break from the crowds. The small driveway was one of the only on the right block, saving us the hassle of schlepping our bags to and fro when we arrived. David was attentive and available without being intrusive. The entire house was super clean. Kudos to the cleaning service. They clearly take a lot of pride in their work. Would absolutely stay there again if we find ourselves in town.

Excellent location at the "quiet" end of Duval
Plenty of room to hang out, chill in the pool, and take a nap. Something for everyone. It REALLY was quiet! A 2 second walk to Key West Cuban Coffee for the best breakfast and Cortadito coffee! We parked the car and just walked everywhere.

Fantastic property - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
This rental property is perfectly situated in Key West. We walked to almost everything we did. The best part was the center courtyard with your own private swimming pool. It was a welcoming oasis at the end of each day. Our host was very easy to reach and deal with. I highly recommend staying here

Great House Located Close to Everything!
When arriving to this house we were pleasantly surprised at how clean and comfortable it felt. The property owner was prompt with communication and the VRBO description and photos were accurate. I would highly recommend staying at this home. It is centrally located allowing us walk to pretty much everything we wanted to see on Key West. It is in the heart of the town of Key West. Roads are small and parking spots are small and tight. At first we were a little unsure if we would be able to fit our oversized van in the parking spot but after navigating we were successful. Great property!

Steps from Duval St this place is in the perfect location to enjoy all of key west on foot. The pool is spectacular, the beds are comfortable, and the AC is cold. We’ve stayed here multiple times and it won’t be our last.

Quaint, great location, would stay here again.
As it is located in the Truma Ave./Duval St. area it may seem like it's far from the "famous" bars, but it's really not. And it is closer to some of Key West's best restaurants and bars like 915, Banana Cafe, 7 Fish, Better Than Sex, Santiago's Bodega, Blue Heaven, Mangoes, The Rum Bar, Viva, and others; this quaint two bed, two bath home with pool is perfect but not fancy. It's a bit dated but interesting and the owner is responsive. The pool & spa appears larger in the photos, but it really is the perfect size and saved us from the mid-day July heat. You enter into the main part of the house with living area, kitchen and the first full bathroom. This part looks out onto the pool and deck, and a separate building where the two bedrooms and the second bathroom is. This second bathroom is split with toilet and sink in one area and the shower in another. Having the bedrooms in a separate building really worked great for us as the first ones up and the last ones to sleep didn't bother those sleeping at all. You get one dedicated parking space which was large enough for my crew cab pickup. Additional on-street parking is available but not guaranteed. We'd stay here again.
