Just pack your swimsuit – the rest is waiting for you at The Turtle’s Nest!

This historic cottage was originally built as a home for the cigar factory workers, the Martinez Cigar factory building still stands a block away, and is now a storage facility. The home was unique in that it was built with Indian Block, known for its fireproofing and hurricane strong properties.

Before we bought this beautiful home, we would visit Key West with our 2 dogs and often had a difficult time finding a place that would accept larger dogs (we have a Golden Retriever and an Australian Shepherd), so our mission was to make a lovely spot that you can enjoy along side your family pets.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

We had an amazing month at The Turtle’s Nest! The hosts really thought of everything—from spices and kitchen utensils to sunscreen and floats for the beach. The welcome book was packed with great tips for things to do and places to eat, which made exploring Key West a breeze.Maui, our 65lb golden retriever, had the time of her life—Key West is super dog-friendly, and she basically claimed the back patio as her personal lounge when we weren’t out and about. We were so happy to find a place that welcomes a dog her size! The house is comfy and pet-friendly, and it really felt like home.We loved the location—so close to the beach, easy to get around with the bikes, and totally peaceful inside even with the airport and roosters nearby. The soundproofing was great, and my husband, a light sleeper, really appreciated it. The beds were nice and comfy—perfect for collapsing after a day of exploring (or just lounging around!).Everything was just like the photos and super clean, which made settling in effortless. Thoughtfully set up, super convenient, and honestly a little slice of Key West paradise!

** Perfect Key West Getaway – The Turtle’s Nest is a Gem!**We just returned from an amazing stay at The Turtle’s Nest, and I can’t say enough about how perfect this home was for our Key West vacation! The location is ideal – in a quiet Midtown neighborhood that’s still super close to everything. Smathers Beach is just a short walk, and Duval Street is an easy bike ride away.The house itself is beautifully renovated, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. We loved the thoughtful layout, especially the separate in-law suite with its own entrance, coffee bar, and mini fridge – perfect for a little extra privacy. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, and the outdoor patio was our favorite spot for morning coffee and evening cocktails.The included bikes, beach chairs, and beach towels made exploring the island effortless. We also really appreciated the high-speed Wi-Fi, full laundry, outdoor shower, and two fold-away workstations (great for mixing a little remote work with vacation life).As a family traveling with dogs, this was a dream find! The fenced yard gave our pups space to roam safely, and it was so refreshing to find a pet-friendly rental that welcomes larger breeds. The owners clearly understand what pet lovers need – and have created a place where both people and pets feel completely at home.The Turtle’s Nest is more than just a rental
