About this property

Colony Sunset- Bright and airy cottage in the heart of old town Key West

Located in The Colony, a secluded, gated enclave just steps from Duval Street, Colony Sunset is a colorful and relaxing retreat. Walk up the flagstone path and enter the home through the vivid and cheerful living space, accented with cerulean blue walls and splashes of tropical art. A vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and huge transom windows that extend all the way to the tip of the roof add a bright and airy feeling to the cozy space. Just through the French doors lies a private deck for sunning, relaxing and al fresco dining.

The fully appointed kitchen is attached to the living area and features a sit-down bar, charming open shelving and a bright color scheme.

The bedroom is painted in soothing blue tones and features cathedral ceilings, a king size bed, and flat screen television.

Just outside the front door is a porch with Adirondack chairs for enjoying a morning Cuban coffee or a twilight glass of wine amongst the palm trees. The huge Colony swimming pool, which is shared with other residents, is located just steps away. Beaches, shopping, and award-winning restaurants are just a short walk or bike ride from your front door.

Cute place

Place is cute and an easy walk to beaches and restaurants. It is worn but bright and cute! It had everything i needed. One needs quarters for laundry and the curtains are shear and walls thin so you hear and see neighbors! The pool is shaded which is good and bad! They are pet friendly as long as dog is quiet. We did have a nice time . Having our dog with us always meant no boating or snorkling but restaurants were very pet friendly as are beaches!

Perfect!!!!

The bungalow was fantastic and perfectly appointed with kitchen supplies and fabulous bedding. The location is perfect. I only suggest to shop around for golf carts as Mintys is the closest but the most expensive. We will definitely be back.

Nice place, off the beaten path

This was a nice, quiet place. It would probably be okay for a physically fit person to walk to all the action, but Uber/Lyft worked well for us. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen space was perfect for the week. There is even a tiny store down the block for some essentials.

30 year anniversary

Overall good. AC in living area not cool from an afternoon till next morning, but we weren’t in the room that much during that time frame. Completely nude male sunbather at the pool wasn’t that nice which made us not want to use pool while he was out there.

Perfect little cottage

We would definitely stay at this cottage again. Decorated darling and very clean. It’s a quaint little colony and everyone we met were extremely nice and helpful. Since it was our first time visiting the Keys we appreciated the assistance. The only issue is parking but we rented a golf cart and parking is difficult anywhere in the Keys so that can’t be helped

Great location

This place was perfect for my husband & I. It was small, but fit our needs. Loved that we could bring our dog with us. The shared pool was nice to have & all the other guest were friendly. The maintenance people are always working hard to make sure the property is kept nice.

Great Time in Key Weat

The interior of the accommodation was exactly what we expected from the website. The exterior was a bit confusing as we thought it was going to be a small cottage with the exterior of the house on the website. The pool was immaculate and property well kept. Convenient location to downtown Duval and local grocery store. Overall we had an excellent vacation in Key West. Thank you!

Quaint Little Getaway

This is a perfect place to enjoy a nice relaxing vacation. It's tucked in among other bungalows but still private. The decor is nicely done and not a lot of decorative clutter to get in the way of your own personal items. Everything you need is included for your convenience. The pool is also refreshing and very clean! The place is centrally located to anywhere you would like to go in Key West. You can walk or rent bicycles and get to just about everywhere if a few minutes. We would definitely stay here again!

Conflicted which is a good thing

Once again (we are repeat renters) I do not want to write a review that will entice people to book. We want to come back. Joking aside, beautiful, quiet, well appointed and perfect oasis in downtown key west. Clean, bright, private and comfy. We will be back.
