About this property

Little Torch Key Nest - Ocean view with pool

This Lower Keys 6BR/4.5 getaway has a private boat basin and ramp, a pool, and a separate guest house with its own kitchen and living room. Relax in your outdoor oasis at the water's edge before heading out to scuba dive, shop, fish, or even embark on a lobstering adventure.
Located on Pine Channel, you can walk to fresh seafood and delicious wings at Kiki's Sandbar in 4 blocks or take a quick ride to Cuba Coffee in 2.4 miles. Take a picturesque drive to Key West's Duval Street in 45 minutes, home to world-famous pubs and fine dining alike.
LIVING AREAS
With a 4BR home and a full 2BR guesthouse, this unique Little Torch Key retreat has ample space for all your guests - plus a beautiful pool and private boat basin with ramp.
In the main house, the light-filled living room has a sleeper sofa, love seat, and armchair surrounding a 40” TV. Settle in with your favorite shows or simply enjoy the water views. A den offers peace and quiet when you want to relax with a new book.
The guest house living room has tile floors, a sleeper sofa, couch, and a 36” TV.
KITCHEN & DINING
Indulge your inner chef in the pristine kitchen, where granite counters and stainless steel appliances shine. A French-door fridge and double-basin sink make meal prep and cleanup simple and efficient.
When it's time to dine, head to the sunny formal dining area with seating for six.
The guesthouse kitchen also features granite counters and stainless steel appliances, plus a three-person dining table.
BEDROOMS & BATHS
Six bedrooms between the main house and the guest house accommodate 12 guests. Both homes are single-story.
In the main house, the master suite has a king-size bed and a private bath with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed and cheerful buttercup walls, and the third has a set of twins perfect for the kids. A shared bath between the two has a tub/shower combination.
Another queen-size bedroom has its own en-suite bath with a walk-in shower.
In the guest house, the fifth bedroom has a set of twin-size beds and the sixth has a cozy queen. The shared bath between the two rooms is equipped with a walk-in shower, and another half bath off the kitchen in the main house adds convenience.
OUTDOOR AREAS
Step outside to your private backyard oasis complete with a shimmering pool, private boat basin, and boat ramp. A grill is at the ready for cookouts and time of day, and two dining areas invite al fresco meals beside the water.
Find more seating and ocean views on the covered patio.
EXTRA AMENITIES
Guest amenities include two washer/dryer sets, complimentary Wi-Fi, and parking for five cars.
THE LOCATION
Your Pine Channel retreat is a quick stroll from local eateries and close to every outdoor adventure you could dream of. Strike Zone is a local favorite for fishing charters and snorkeling along Looe Key.
Key West proper is 45 minutes away by car. The drive down US-1 is absolutely stunning, and before you know it you're at the doorstep of Duval Street's famous pubs and restaurants.

Little Torch Key Nest

We've been spending spring break at this property for several years, and we love it. It's on a quiet key, but also close to a grocery store, tiki bar, and boat rental. The house isn't fancy, but it's clean and comfortable, and set up well for large groups. My suggestions for the owners are to stock the kitchen with more large serving bowls/platters, and to provide more additional bedding. There are pull out couches, but we didn't see any additional bedding. Overall, we love this place.

Great place to stay

Beautiful place to stay. We were able to rent a boat a couple of doors down and park it at the property boat landing. Easy access to Overland highway, restaurants and other Keys.

A few things need repair, but did not affect the experience at all. The hall bathroom toilet needs flapper and handle. The drawers in that bathroom would not stay closed.

Wonderful Location

The property is a wonderful location. Kiki’s is within walking distance and a wonderful place. The pool is this property’s biggest asset. I would have given it a 5 star but the property could use a little tlc and updating. I would definitely stay again.

Week stay

The outside area was not very clean and didn’t match what was shown in the pictures. The water flow and pressure was horrible and many issues with the toilets. I only saw 2 of the 3 showers and one was filthy. For the price we paid I wouldn’t stay again.

Beautiful Home and Setting

This is the second time that we have rented this home and it is by far our favorite. We rent several a year. It has beautiful landscaping and is in a great location. Kitchens are stocked very well and having the guesthouse is just amazing and gives the other 2 couples plenty of privacy and space. The pool is amazing. Location is perfect for renting a boat, sitting by the pool or just relaxing under a palm tree.

Little Torch Key

The size of the house and guest house was perfect for our large group! It was really nice having the guest house on the same property. We really enjoyed the pool and kayaks. The house could use some TLC, you can tell it has been well loved, a once through with maintenance and touch up paint would help tremendously. The location was perfect, close to everything.

Amazing property with pool and boat access

What a wonderful place! Pool was awesome, boat access and location was exceptional, and house was perfectly laid out for our extended family with kids and infants. House and guest house were in great condition, all the needed amenities were there, and easy check in. Kikis right down the road was a fun spot for dinner.

Nice place exterior of building worn.

We had a good time. Location is great. Interior condition of rooms pretty nice for old keys style. Exterior of building needs pressure cleaning and painting. Patio deck needs pressure cleaning and painting. Mold on exterior house and pool deck. Looks like no exterior care whatsoever. Major seaweed at ramp and stairs leading into water very slippery with mold.

Great facility to meet large group needs; just dated/tired

The location was excellent. Close to several local amenities (fishing charter, boat rental, local pub) and easy out to US1. There was room to accommodate everyone. The pool was nice and the patio was very accommodating for a large group. There were some issues with cleanliness which we easily resolved on our own. The place is tired and needs some updating/repairs.

Great location, plenty of space

The property is what made our week stay so amazing. The kids loved being on the water and loved the pool. There are kayaks on-site and we brought a paddle board that we used daily. Right from the dock we saw sharks, barracuda, parrot fish, and an octopus. The house had plenty of space for multiple families to spread out. All around, a great house and property. Close to Bahia Honda and not a far drive to Key West either- get location!

Little Torch Key Paradise

First off... always love coming to this location. Our family has been coming for 10+ years; since 2010. Price has increased tremendously. The home has had some updates but could use more. Same towels, wash cloths, and dish cloths. I even brought my own years ago and left them there. They're still there. I also brought and left my own pots and pans. Newer than what is there. This stay, for a family of 8; we had 8 wash cloths total. Please buy some more from the $ store. Small price for update/new towels and wash cloths/dish cloths. Total house inside and out needs a fresh coat of paint. Outdoor areas had a lot of debris and cigarette butts laying around. Disappointed it's not kept up better. Especially for the amount we paid for the week. Over $6300.00. Very nice set up and location; just can't afford it anymore.

Great location for boating

This home is ideal for boating out to Looe Key to dive or snorkel and to lobster in the gulf. The home wasn't quite ready for us to check in at 4pm but Cindi was kind enough to buy us a couple of bottles of wine to compensate. The house was clean and plenty of room for our families. We loved spending time in the pool. The onsite boat ramp was too shallow to launch our boat but there was a public ramp nearby. The channel was perfect to sail our Hobie Cat. We would definitely to rent this home again.
