Area: Located in the beautiful Meadows Neighborhood of Key West. This exclusive residential area of Old Town Key West is really an extension of the Old Town Historic Seaport District where the harbor ‘rounds the bend.’ It was originally developed as a suburban neighborhood in the early 1900’s and has a distinctively gracious and private feel with wider tree lined streets and larger yards. There is less commercial development than the seaport side of White Street and the center of Old Town. Yet, the Meadows are flanked by White Street that offers many locally favorite restaurants, art galleries, bakeries, and shops. While many of the Meadow’s residents live in Key West year around, there are some homes available for rent mostly to seasonal guests. From here you can walk to the Historic Seaport in 5 to 10 minutes and walk to Duval Street in 20 minutes. Walk to grocery store, dining, art galleries. Close to all Old Town Key West attractions and beaches. Close to beautiful park with tennis courts, and lots of green for relaxing. You really do not need a car from this location. The ideal transportation when you rent this home is a bicycle… which is one of the best ways to experience the ambience of Key West.

Restrictions: Smoke Free House and Outdoors. No smoking permitted on property. No pets permitted.
