Historic Old Town Key West Cigarmaker's Cottage - Cigar House, Sleeps 4
OVERVIEW
The Cigar House is a 100+ year old “Cigar maker’s house”. The recently completely renovated house is charming, spacious, secluded and private. The cottage has a raised vaulted wood ceiling, creating a rustic, Caribbean ambiance. The downstairs floor is the original Dade County Pine. All window, door, and floor trim is turn of the century style, and all windows are 6/6 double-hung sash. All linens and towels are furnished.
The house has a Starlink secured high speed wi-fi network, streaming internet TV, and two (2) 32" Samsung SMART HDTVs. The house has central air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and a stacked LP washer and dryer. There is a Weber propane barbecue located on the pool deck.
The cottage can comfortably accommodate a maximum of four (4) guests – who are comfortable sharing an open social living environment.
FIRST FLOOR
The kitchen, living, dining, sitting, and bathroom and a small bedroom are located on the first floor. The living room has a queen sleeper sofa/ day bed and a 32" Samsung SMART HDTV. The bathroom, located off the living room, has been recently completely renovated and has a vaulted ceiling and a new full size marble walk-in shower. There is a full bed in the small bedroom at the end of the living room.
KITCHEN
The kitchen is new and contemporary with mahogany cabinets, white Corian countertops, and integrated Corian sink, and serve thru access to the dining room. The ceiling is vaulted with architectural beams and LED lighting. The kitchen has a pantry, refrigerator, electric range, garbage disposal, microwave, and Braun coffee maker, Krupps toaster, dishes, flatware, glasses (service for 6), pots, pans, and all the basic cooking utensils. There is a French door providing access to the rear deck where the washer and dryer are located.
LOFT SLEEPING AREA
A ship's ladder is used to access the loft sleeping area. The loft has a queen bed, and a 32" Samsung SMART HDTV.
COMMON ELEMENTS
The five (5) house compound is private and secure with a 25' x 10' heated pool including a 5' x 10' heated Jacuzzi. In addition, there is a 10' x 8' heated Jacuzzi. There are brick walkways, and a 40' x 10' sun deck, including a stainless steel propane barbecue, chaise lounges for sunbathing and relaxing; and tables and chairs for dining. Throughout the property there is secured wireless internet access, and CCTV security monitoring. The design of the property lends itself perfectly for small gatherings with friends and family.
LANDSCAPING
The landscaping is lush including various palm species, Poinciana, Spanish limes, avocado, bananas, hibiscus, bougainvillea, halliconias, bromeliads, and orchids, brick walkways.
EXCELLENT LOCATION
The house is located in Old Town Key West at the corner of Thomas and Angela Streets - (2) blocks west of the center of Duval Street in one of the oldest sections of Key West; (4) blocks east of Fort Zachary Taylor State Park/Beach, the best beach and picnic area in Key West. The gated compound is within easy walking or biking distance to everything in Old Town Key West, Duval Street, and the best entertainment and dining on the island.
CHICKENS & ROOSTERS
The City of Key West protects chickens and roosters, and considers them as part of the history and charm of Key West. As a result, Key West and many of the islands throughout the Florida Keys have free-range chickens and roosters. You will definitely see and hear chickens and roosters during your stay in Key West. Some visitors to Key West love them, and some visitors hate them - personally, I enjoy them best roasted, with plantains, and black beans and rice!
CRITTERS
Also, please remember that you are in the tropics and most life forms typically thrive in the tropics. Please don' t be surprised or alarmed if you see a lizard, or an insect.

About the host
Hosted by Steven Justi
I travel as often as possible, with my beautiful partner - we always seem to gravitate to water and interesting places off the beaten path. We enjoy historic settings, renovating old buildings, good people, and a nice bottle of wine (...or two).
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood is alive, dynamic, and surrounded by Key West History - unquestionably the most intact Old Town Key West neighborhood on the island. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance, and Duval Street is only two blocks from the property - close enough, yet far enough away! Ft. Zachary Taylor, located only two blocks to the west of the property, is a National Historic Park and boasts the nicest beach with the best sunsets on the island.
What makes this property unique
Local Key West character is preserved. Authentic Key West experience.
