Turtle House. A Key West Artist's oasis. Now available for March 2023. Easter in Key West!
Delight in the uniqueness of this property. It is a compound comprised of two former cigar maker’s cottages, redesigned and renovated by the artist and her late husband, an architect. Turtle House has been featured in several magazines, including the April 2009 edition of Coastal Living Magazine, and Design Within Reach summer catalogue 2019. Turtle House is located on a quiet lane in Old Town Key West near the cemetery.
Come finish your novel or dip your body into the sunken black tiled jacuzzi. Dine under the covered breezeway underneath a bamboo pergola, protected from weather, with beautiful views of the garden illuminated at night by solar lighting. You will find magic and inspiration at Turtle House, along with all the comforts and amenities of modern living including a parking space that is part of the property.
For those who seek elegant simplicity and a refuge in nature, this may be your dream come true! With privacy difficult to find in Key West... bike or walk to your favorite restaurant or cook at home on the gas grill and eat under the stars! Wake up to the song of birds and sleep peacefully to the sound of tree frogs and crickets.
The house is appointed with beautiful linens, dishes and cookware that offer a comfortable elegance to the rustic design of the cottages, The principle bedroom is its own cottage, furnished with a king size bed, an excellent mattress, two small sofas and a TV for streaming your favorite films. There is a full indoor/outdoor bath attached to the cottage that can be accessed from the cottage or from the deck. The second (guest) bedroom is located in the main cottage. It is a charming salon , designed as a guest room with a twin bed (brand new mattress) and its own bathroom which opens to both the guest room and the living room. This little bedroom faces the lane with a beautiful garden just ouside the window. It is a wonderful place for an afternoon nap!
Turtle House is perfect for a couple, and or a single person who wants to enjoy all that Key West offers, and yet values a return to a peaceful haven. A perfect spot for a poet, or a poetic soul, a writer, an avid reader, an architect, a lover of architecture! Or simply someone who loves the simple pleasures of life amplified in this domain. The lush gardens have been lovingly cultivated by the artist, herself. The owner does not pack away her personal dishes or towels or favorite linen pillows and throws. She hopes you will find inspiration and respite in this unique hide away, as she does.
Come and enjoy TURTLE HOUSE.
Turtle House has become available from November 21st thru February 10th with a 30 day minimum stay. Ideally it would be wonderful to rent to one person or couple for the entire stretch, but I am open to discussing....
It is truly a little jewel. (Not for partiers, smokers, heavy drinkers, revelers.)
