Caribbean Cottage

Imagine the quintessential Caribbean island village, its cottages nestled hand-in-hand on charming historic pedestrian streets. As people stroll by, sun kissed from an afternoon of beaching and sight seeing, they’ll say hi to one another even if they’ve never met. This is your neighborhood during your stay at the Caribbean Cottage vacation rental. One of the best vacation rental locations on the island – without a doubt. Around the corner “Grand Vin” wine bar stands ready for an evening wine tasting session while “Flamingo Crossing” ice cream parlor offers up a new flavor of home made glace.

Recently restored, this historic Caribbean Cottage, with private pool added in September, 2015 in the back yard, has an authentic Caribbean island feel, with original wood planked polished floors, vintage hand-hewed beams, bright blue tile (accented with marble), and Bahama style wooden window shutters. Artist owners painted the original pine walls with elegant historic colors of olive and cream, and adorned the sash style windows with wooden shutters and French linen curtains. Reserved for owner’s use only for many years, original artwork from their private collection is displayed throughout for you to enjoy.

The living room is a generous cottage size with plenty of room to gather. On the side closest to the kitchen, a dining table is placed to create a roomy eating area. The adjoining “butler-pantry” style kitchen is spacious, has a charming French-Caribbean style ambiance, and is fully equipped and easy to cook in.

The interior lay-out of this cottage maximizes privacy with the bedrooms and bathrooms on one side and common living areas on the other. The cottage has two full bedrooms and two full bathrooms.

Bedding in this vintage cottage includes a king size bed in the master bedroom, and a queen size bed in the other. The master bedroom boasts a beautiful rich wooden armoire, and French doors lead from the bedroom to a pretty outdoor sitting area for reading and lounging. For extra sleeping, the living room has a comfortable twin daybed.

From the outside front, the cottage has charming curb appeal with a large beautiful Royal Poinciana tree and the Key West quintessential white picket fence, and of course the porch to sit and watch the world go by. The general design and layout of the cottage lends itself perfectly for versatile use. It is ideal for up to four, and can sleep up to five people comfortably.

If you are looking for a truly authentic Key West experience, this cottage could be the perfect one for you. This charming property is located in the Upper-Duval Street historic neighborhood – a special section of Key West offering many up-scale attractions and interesting features including excellent gourmet restaurants, art galleries, boutiques, a high-end wine tasting store, an award winning home made ice cream shop, a coffee and tea house, South Beach around the corner, and .just a short walk to down to Mallory Square.
