About this property
Colony Sunset- Bright and airy cottage in the heart of old town Key West
Located in The Colony, a secluded, gated enclave just steps from Duval Street, Colony Sunset is a colorful and relaxing retreat. Walk up the flagstone path and enter the home through the vivid and cheerful living space, accented with cerulean blue walls and splashes of tropical art. A vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and huge transom windows that extend all the way to the tip of the roof add a bright and airy feeling to the cozy space. Just through the French doors lies a private deck for sunning, relaxing and al fresco dining.
The fully appointed kitchen is attached to the living area and features a sit-down bar, charming open shelving and a bright color scheme.
The bedroom is painted in soothing blue tones and features cathedral ceilings, a king size bed, and flat screen television.
Just outside the front door is a porch with Adirondack chairs for enjoying a morning Cuban coffee or a twilight glass of wine amongst the palm trees. The huge Colony swimming pool, which is shared with other residents, is located just steps away. Beaches, shopping, and award-winning restaurants are just a short walk or bike ride from your front door.
If you are staying with a large group, please note that Rent Key West Vacations has two other similar properties to rent within this compound- Colony Calypso and Colony Poolside.
Bedding: 1 King, 1 sleeper sofa (full)
Pet friendly- under 40 pounds. Additional fees apply.
