Looking for the perfect AFFORDABLE hide-away in Key West? Located in a remodeled Victorian Home - this guest room is just perfect for two and has a pool in the backyard!

This guest room is cozy (the size of a small hotel room, 10'X12.5' plus bathroom) with a QUEEN size bed but is so much better than a hotel room. We provide high quality cotton sheets and thick, luxurious towels. We offer a studio kitchen with apartment sized fridge, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, two burner cook top, blender, and everything you'll need to cook and serve a romantic meal. It is nice to be able to make a sandwich or picnic to take to the beach! There is a wonderful table just out the back door if you would like to eat under the palm trees.

Don't want to cook???
No need really - just two and a half blocks up is Duval Street where hundreds of bars & restaurants await your fun times. The beach is a five minute walk and there you can enjoy the gorgeous warm turquoise water ALL YEAR ROUND. Just relax on the pristine white sand under the tall swaying palms. When you get too hot - simply stroll back to your air conditioned hide-away or take a dip in the pool.

Two bikes are provided for your use at no extra charge. They are right on property with the number 6 (our studio number) on each bike. You will be able to ride to beaches, parks, botanical gardens and of course, bars, restaurants and sunsets!!

The bed faces an armoire and 32' flat screen TV. The gorgeous Victorian Home which is now divided into individually owned rooms - is an architectural masterpiece... but unlike many bed and breakfasts, walls are thick and your privacy is insured. The neighborhood is a wonderful mix of guest houses, full time local folks, and visitors. While you are walking the streets - stop and chat a spell with anybody who is rocking on their front porch. You might meet some real Key West characters! Our location is so close to Duval (a five minute walk) - it will be a great place to gather with friends to head "downtown".

OUTSIDE There is a wonderful back deck with lovely shaded eating area and pool, another picnic table under the huge Banyan tree, and lots of lounge chairs to lay in the sun. These are all within the fenced yard of the property. It really is amazing to find this quiet seclusion right off of the excitement of Duval Street!

We want to provide an affordable solution to the high prices of Key West Hotels - and we think this is it! If you are looking for a full service hotel this is not for you. My studio is best for folks that want to see Key West, not stay in their room during their vacation. While it is quite small, it is one of the best values in Key West. We don't pretend to be a full resort, we are a great option for those that are looking for value and a clean well-appointed room! WE GUARANTEE YOUR UNIT WILL BE SPARKLING CLEAN UPON YOUR ARRIVAL. So come on down to the Southernmost City and have some fun!

You will enjoy our 'Favorites' book which has all of the menus of our favorite restaurants and ideas for day trips. We live here and if you have ANY questions - PLEASE call and ask...we know ALL of the LOCAL HOTSPOTS.

You can rent nightly or weekly!!!

Rates range from $129 to $319 per night, holiday and special event rates may be higher.

Your Rental Will Include The Use of Two Bikes For Free!!!

One Time Cleaning Fee - $90 on all stays regardless of length of stay.

Property was clean and comfortable. Bed was very comfortable! " Steps from Duval" in the description made it sound closer than it really is. Not that it's far and we still walked everywhere no problem. I would definitely recommend this property.

Great!
First time to Key West so everything we saw and did was exciting and new. Visited the coast guard ship museum, butterfly refuge, audubon house and Hemingway house. We had great restaurant and bar experiences. Loved the neighborhood the galleria is in! Walked and biked to everything!! Loved the studio and loved the visit to Key west!

High priced for the size and location of the room.
The room (located in a building with multiple rooms, think motel-like) was very small. The location was not in the greatest part of town.The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot with good water pressure. Good for one person, a bit crowded for 2 people.

Perfect for a couple who is on the go.
This is a great place for anyone who wants something clean, accessible, and full of amenities. Although the space is small, it comes with several amenities not included in a standard hotel room. We enjoyed the bicycles, dishware, beach towels, and a few other items. It's peaceful but not far from the best breakfast spots in Key West. The pool is fantastic, with sunny and shaded areas to relax. The action on Duval is only a 10 min walk or a couple min bike ride. The host was responsive, and the recommendations were perfect.
