Quiet Lane in the Heart of Old Town, Sleeps 4, Dog Friendly
Welcome to our Key West retreat — a home we cherish and live in part of the year, now open for guests who appreciate comfort, character, and a lived-in sense of ease that you won’t find in a typical vacation rental.
Located just one block from the iconic Green Parrot Bar and two blocks from Duval Street, you’ll be surrounded by the best of Bahama Village — from Blue Heaven, Hemingway House, and Willie T’s to endless galleries, cafes, and music. Yet you’d never guess how close you are while sitting on the quiet, one-block dead-end lane where the home rests. Fort Zachary Taylor Beach and State Park are just a quick bike ride away.
Inside, you’ll find two full bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a primary ensuite, each with generous storage, dressers, and hangers to make settling in easy. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home — fully stocked and thoughtfully arranged for everything from margarita making to a full dinner at home, featuring custom tilework, unique countertops, and modern appliances.
Start your day with coffee on the covered front porch, and end it in the backyard under the stars — complete with a large swim spa that comfortably fits eight adults, ideal for relaxing or socializing. (Note: The canopy over the deck has been removed, but the surrounding trees provide plenty of natural shade.)
Recent updates (2024–2025) include new West Elm living room furniture (sofa, chairs, coffee table), brand new Tempur-Pedic and Purple mattresses, newly upgraded AC units, and an abundance of fresh linens, towels, and kitchen essentials and extras — all part of keeping this space as comfortable for you as it is for us.
This isn’t a typical vacation rental — it’s a home, lovingly maintained and designed for those who want to experience Key West the way locals do: relaxed, refined, and perfectly situated in the heart of Old Town.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a sofa bed. Limited housekeeping is available.

Charming home! Perfect location with everything you’ll need for a longer stay. Very clean! We forgot how to drive while we were there. Everything is within walking or biking distance. 5 minute walk to Truman Annex for gorgeous sunsets with no crowds. Loved every minute of our trip!

Comfy house! Best location you could ask for
We stayed for a month and we loved this house. So walkable to literally everything. We barely even used our car, the lane is so quiet and nice despite being in the middle of it all. The house was well equipped for a long stay, great WiFi, plenty of sheets and towels, stocked kitchen. The hot tub was great. Would definitely stay again!

Key west Location great
Location was awesome, some suggestions. Parking is very limited, be prepared, if you park in a residential space you will be ticketed. Home could use toaster, iron, more bath towels, wi- fi stopped after first week. A small vacuum would be great for daily cleaning. Owner instructions for closing and rules would be helpful (ex garbage take out day). These are all small suggestions, loved the place and had a great vacation
