Key West Wabi Sabi - Authentic Downtown Cottage w Pool - Steps Off Duval

Key West Wabi Sabi is a quintessential 1930s cottage that embodies the beauty and simplicity of island-life charm. If you’re looking to be in the heart of Old Town yet want your own pool and parking space, 506 Bahama is a perfect choice for your trip. You’ll be right off Duval Street, directly across from Fausto’s Food Palace for groceries and necessities, but tucked away enough for that real vacation recharge. This thoughtfully renovated retreat preserves the home’s original character and vintage Key West vibe while embracing an ideal indoor-outdoor feel. The open-concept great room and kitchen lead seamlessly to a private deck and pool framed by happy foliage and a hand-painted mural. Our guests love making Key West memories here and often rebook Key West Wabi Sabi.

The home offers four bedrooms and sleeps up to 8 people. Each room has its own vibe: a lofted master suite with a king-sized bed, a vintage vanity, a split unit A/C and full bathroom; another large downstairs room with a comfy king bed and full bath; a cozy third bedroom with a trundle bed and a half bath; and a fourth bedroom with another king bed and its own bathroom. The cottage is great for gathering yet offers enough private space for everyone to find their own mid-vacation reprieve if needed.

506 Bahama is a fantastic homebase as you explore the best of Key West. It’s a lovely blend of ease, simplicity, and island charm. Again, the location and thus the walkability of this home really can’t be beat if you’re looking to make the most of the general Duval Street excitement! Come home from an afternoon out and about to enjoy your personal pool with plenty of lounge space, or relax on your classic Key West front porch. We look forward to hosting you and making sure your stay at Key West Wabi Sabi is one you’ll love.

Location was GREAT! Outside area is nice. Upstairs bathroom the “shower” is in a claw foot tub with storage space for bath items. One bedroom downstairs the shower sprays out of the shower. Kitchen was well stocked! Had no issues at all with room AC’s. House is equipped with plenty of fans as well. Over all the property is good just needs a little updating.

Humidity which I expect, was over the top. I’m from South Carolina so I know. Dehumidifier had to be emptied 2-3 times per day. Musty/mold smell was over the top. Two of the mini split ac units were not functioning properly. Window unit in living room/kitchen area was so loud, we had to turn it off to watch tv. Called and text property manager several times asking about early check in, no response. Positives, great location and cool little cottage. Place was clean and pool was awesome after walking in the heat all day.

Wabi Sabi Key West

The house is in a great location. Within walking distance to Duval Street, Mallory Square and the marinas and restaurants. Everyone in our party loved their rooms and found it very comfortable. The house is also very well equipped with whatever you might need. My only issue was the shower in back bedroom and bathroom didn’t get hot. Literally every shower was ice cold. I contacted host but didn’t get response until our stay was almost up. They said the shower faucet was finicky. But I tried everything and could not get it to be hot. The weather was pretty warm when we were there so it wasn’t terrible but still would have liked a hot shower. All the other bathrooms worked fine.

Great hospitality!

The property agent who contacted us, Audrey, was amazing. She went above and beyond to decorate the house for my daughter’s 18th birthday. So personal and thoughtful. The house is very cute, a little bit of a tight space but very quirky Key West style and layout. Location is amazing- walking distance to everything. Parking is very limited, they mean it when they say 1 compact car in the listing. The pool is small but paying for the heat to be turned on worked out really well.

Ants

Overall the property was great!! BUT right off the bat there were ants all over the kitchen counter, stove, sink, etc. No where else really - just the food area. There was a note that said - pests are common in the tropics and no refunds for pests. It specifically named ants. Perfect... UGH.. In less than a minute - I could see the problem - it was obvious that there was food and grease etc along the stove and counter. So, we pulled out the stove -- GROSS!! Seriously - I'm sure it has not been cleaned in forever. OBVIOUSLY you are going to have an ant problem if you NEVER clean the side of the stove, under it or behind it. It was frustrating because it is so dumb and avoidable!! Just a gross way to start a vacay!! So we bought all kinds of ant baits - put them everywhere and never cooked anything cuz... I didn't trust anything to be clean. Sad really - cuz it really is a cute little house and setup!!
