About this property

Duval Sea Turtle by AvantStay | Great Location | Close to Shops | Shared Pool!

Located above a courtyard “mall” with shops and restaurants on upper Duval Street - you’ll find the delightful Duval Sea Turtle townhome within easy walking distance to everything!

Meticulously decorated with art from local galleries and artists, you’ll be greeted by the super-sized sea turtle painting as you enter this roomy townhome. It’s the perfect size for families or two or more couples as it can accommodate six guests. The spacious master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a balcony – the best spot for morning news and coffee. The queen bedroom includes a twin bed, with another full bath.

The soothing pastels of the fully appointed kitchen beckon the chef in the group with your choice of dining options, inside or out on another balcony off the living room. Other amenities include; WiFi, Bose surround sound and three TVs.

You’ll find that the large community pool and lounge area is the place to relax after a long day of site-seeing. The entire courtyard area has the feel of a tropical garden and if you’re lucky enough to be here during one of Key West’s many parades, you have one of the best views in town from the deck.

As mentioned, delicious seafood, sushi, or Italian at three restaurants is just mere steps away just, or head to town for many other options. Visit the nearby Butterfly Conservatory or take the must-do selfie at the Southernmost Point. You’ll soon realize, there’s no need for a car - leave it secured in the covered parking lot your whole stay. Duval Sea Turtle is truly a Key West experience to enjoy!

Key West is the place to visit the lively nightlife and relax in the historic charm, flamboyance, and conch-style architecture that early Bahamian settlers made famous. It embodies a clash of the past and the present, and every building (including this rental) in Key West reflects this eclectic ambiance!

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team. Whether it’s fridge stocking or in-home massages, AvantStay offers a variety of upgrades & experiences to enhance your stay.

Great Location

Right on Duval St, far away from the loud bars, great place with plenty supplies that were furnished. Only downfall was the mold on the master bath tub. Also too many artificial plants! They were too big for the place, had to stash a lot in a corner.

Great (adult) family trip!

Close proximity to all of the highlights on Key West yet just off the beaten path to avoid the late night noise. We walked, biked and explored everything the island had to offer. We were thankful for the nice accommodations and cold air conditioning! We would highly recommend this place.

Bachelorette trip in Key West

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rental was great- a little difficult to find, but within walking distance to a lot of nice restaurants and to a CVS pharmacy. Easy pick up and drop off for keys. We even experienced a possible leak in the unit and the maintenance crew was very attentive and responsive to our concerns. Would definitely come again.

Great Location

Great spot on Duval st. Not right where all the craziness is which was perfect. If you wanted to have drinks, just walk down Duval. There are plenty of places to eat or have drinks nearby. Would definitely stay here again. Perfect size for 4 people as well. Will be looking back to this one next time

First timers in Key West

Spent 3 nights here with another couple. Great condo, easy access to downtown bars and restaurants. Seemed to have everything if you wanted to cook in the condo but we ate out all the time. Pool was clean and plenty of good seating. Garage parking.

Nice property and location

Very nice property in a nice condo area that looks out on Duval. This unit was on the other end, so quiet with respect to Duval activity, but lots of noise from wee hours with trash / delivery trucks every day. Take ear plugs. Otherwise, GREAT!

Happy 25th Wedding Anniversary to us !

Very clean and well taken care of. Just too bad the Master bedroom is next to 5am deliveries. But would stay again. Only other suggestions would be to have high stools by the overlook on Duval to sit and people watch.
