About this property

Welcome to Osprey—a beautiful studio in the heart of Old Town Key West! Perfectly located at the Colony on Olivia Street, just two blocks from famous Duval Street, this ground-floor studio suite is equipped to make your stay in the islands comfortable and convenient. Osprey is both removed from and integrated into Old Town Key West. It is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, but close enough to walk to any bar, restaurant, shop, or gallery. This is a non-smoking unit designed to accommodate two people.

This charming suite is comfortably furnished with a queen bed, comfortable couch, flat-screen TV, and tropical artwork. An open floor plan creates a breezy atmosphere and the kitchenette features a coffee maker, microwave oven, stovetop, refrigerator, and the accessories to allow for small meal preparation if you aren't up for going out. A spacious bathroom with standing shower and full-length mirror completes this wonderful accommodation. The french doors lead out to an inviting deck close to the shared pool.

Quiet and serene!

Very nice, quiet and close to Duval, Mallory Square. We walked the first day and then went everywhere by bike. Easy parking at the site for cares and bikes! Would definitely stay there again!

2 blocks from Duval

Excellent location. Unit exactly as shown only a plus was a closet and nicely contemporary yet efficient bathroom. 11 units and 4 parking spaces. We were fortunate enough to get 1 space and then were reluctant to move it. We did twice and still got the same space! Literally 4 steps from an almost private heated pool. beautifully decorated. Good spot for quiet adults.

Paradise

Great place for a couple. Studio was spacious, comfortable & clean. Having the pool right outside our door was a plus! Easy walking distance to Duval Street & all the restaurants. Short bike ride to the beach. I highly recommend this place if you are going to Key West!

Perfect getaway!

This was the perfect spot for our last minute weekend getaway for our anniversary. This bungalow was just as advertised, pictures spot on. Clean, light filled and well appointed for quick meals. It was really a perfect location for us—close enough and separate from busy areas and in a great historic neighborhood. All pluses for us. Everything is very well maintained, and the pool was perfect for morning, afternoon and evening dips between outings. Small deck great for breakfast and cocktails in the evening. Five stars all round! Thanks for a great experience!

Enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed the location, it was very close to Duval. The property was nice. I felt it was lacking in counter space being female with lots of lotions and face stuff. I also could have used a second mirror in the place; the one in the bathroom wasn't always available for me to use. I would recommend adding a mirror next to the closet and maybe some other little counter space to put things. We used the coffee bar, but it was a bit small for everything. I would also recommend adding a surge protector to the plug next to the sofa. I plugged my computer into the outlet and it fried my computer. Old wiring, so dips and spikes are obviously common. The GFCI plug next to the kitchen sink also tripped when having a computer plugged in. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Would do again

Great location, the island is super walkable but the place was convenient to everything we wanted to do. Only problem we had was the place was to come with parking and one night/day we had to find parking(which is a nightmare) because the four spots were already taken. Otherwise great place.

Not as expected

Overall property/enclave was pleasing. Particular unit needed maintenance that appears to have put on the back burner for a long time and impacted our enjoyment, but safety in the bathroom. Aesthetics/door blinds broken and missing slats, etc.

Key West

When you pull up in front of the location you find a building that is torn up - warning tapes and all. But when we went into our designated unit it was fine. Clean, but small. Pool was not heated - they said heater was broken. Close to Duval, which was great! Folks were very pleasant at the location.

More maintenance is needed

We arrived late due to a 4 hour flight delay. Pick up key at one location with instructions to the address of the property. Instructions were unclear. The “gate” is actually a set of French doors. And the unit number was unlit— difficult to find in the dark. Primary concern was the air quality in the studio. A/C and dehumidifier were extremely dusty and had not been cleaned. They created a dust storm in the studio. I developed a sinus infection as a result. There were tissues in the bathroom. There are two toasters, neither worked properly. We like hot showers, water was barely warm and not conducive for disinfecting dishes and silverware. We had to use the mini spilt heater one night (53 degrees in KW!)— no temperature controls and no instructions on how to operate. There is a sisal mat outside the studio door. The mat retains water and was wet when we arrived and wet when we left 7 days later. Impossible to enter studio without tracking in water. We go to KW to visit family ( my Dad moved to KW in 1938!). Overall the studio was clean but the maintenance was sorely lacking.

Perfect getaway!

The accommodations in this amazing small complex are clean, inviting and just adorable. The cottage we stayed at was recently remodeled and done with a nice open clean coastal vibe. Everything needed for our stay was available inside to include pool towels. The location is perfectly located in old town just a few blocks to Duval street. Although we didn’t have a car there was onsite parking and bike racks. The host and property management was top notch and very helpful. Communication was perfect and precise. We will be back!
