About this cottage rental

Nestled in Key West, this lovely cottage for $679 per night is a great option for your next break. 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. Brimming with genuine island charm, our Caribbean Cottage, with private pool, was originally built in the early 1900’s. Artistically renovated to maintain the original wood planked polished floors and vintage hand-hewed beams, the owners added bright blue tile (accented with marble), and Bahama style wooden window shutters tat compliment the historic interior. Original pine walls were painted with elegant historic colors of olive and cream and adorned the sash style windows 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.

Great location. The only issue was that we could not find trash receptacles on the property.

Great location and cute cottage from afar...up close it needs some improvements. Front door difficult to lock and leave...so we exited out back. Living room ceiling needs patched and painted. Bathroom doors not very private. Living room furniture needs to be replaced as they're extremely outdated and uncomfortable and one of the chairs is broke. But, overall we enjoyed the pool, comfortable beds, and location.

The house is located centrally just off Duval street, near to bars, ice cream and not to far to walk down Duval street to get to other restaurants etc. The pool is small but functional and the kitchen had everything we needed and a nice porch in the the front, to sit on and look at people walking by (mainly on Duval street).

The location is great, easy bus access for the Duval loop bus. You can walk to most anything you would want to see. The house was clean, the beds were comfy. It appeared there had been some water damage to the ceiling. Paint was peeling and flakes falling to the floor. There had been some construction done and the demo material was still in the area of the pool. So work is being done to make improvements. The Pool is actually an oversized hot tub not really a pool. Not that it’s a bad thing! The hot tub is great after long walks and sore bodies. As for noise. We slept well with no disturbance the house is very quiet.

This is a quote from a text I sent to Key West Rentals on the last day of our trip. "Whoever used your grill last never turned off the gas. Disappointing! We'd planned on grilling tonight. I'm going to be very challenged to give your operation a good review. I don't know what it means to you to spend as much money as we did for a 5 night stay but it means alot to us. Key West been fun but disappointing. Your front desk people are very rude when asked for help, the pool area leaves alot to be desired with all the plants around the pool dead or dying (picture on their website is very misleading! One of the reasons we decided on this property!), the grill is useless with no gas, the dishwasher needs to be replaced or repaired and your supply of essentials like toilet paper needs attention! I will be sending this same message to VRBO so they realize who they represent! Very disappointing!!" I suspect this review will not be shown on VRBO's website since it is negative and that's a shame! Caribbean Cottage needs to be overhauled to make it acceptable in our opinion.
