About this property
Colony Poolside: A charming bungalow near Duval Street
Located in The Colony, a secluded compound just steps from Duval Street, Colony Poolside is a peaceful retreat. Enter the home through the serene and inviting living space, accented with blue and white decor, wood floors and pops of color from nautical-themed accents and artwork. 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.
The fully appointed kitchen is attached to the living area and features a generous sit-down bar and charming open shelving. Through the French doors lies a private deck for sunning, relaxing and al fresco dining.
The bedroom is accented with wainscoting and features cathedral ceilings, a king size bed, and flat screen television.
Back 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 Sunset and Colony Calypso.

Easy of booking. Location was perfect. Close to everything (we walked everywhere), yet a quiet neighborhood for relaxing after. Rental was clean and had everything we needed. Have already recommended to friends.

We truly appreciate your review Carol! At Rent Key West Vacations, we strive to make the booking process and the stay itself as seamless as possible, so we're glad to hear we hit the mark. It’s great to know that you found the townhome clean and well-equipped for your needs. We love that our location offers that perfect balance of being 'close to everything' while tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Thank you for the referrals, and we look forward to your next visit!
The house was very clean and cozy. Great location, walking distance to Duvall. And a great stopping place along the way to Duvall was Bobby’s monkey bar. We would stay there again.

Thank you for the 5 star review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and the great location, we’d love to host you again!
The whole experience was great! Very convenient walking to Old Town. Clean and comfortable unit. The property manager was quick to fix a maintenance issue that needed attention. The only disappointment was the coin-op laundry. For the price of the rental, complimentary laundry facilities makes more sense.

Thank you so much for the feedback! We are thrilled to hear that your whole experience was great and that you enjoyed the convenient walking to Old Town, along with the clean and comfortable unit.
We are especially glad that our property manager was quick to resolve the maintenance issue that came up.
We appreciate your honest comment regarding the coin-operated laundry. We understand that for the price of the rental, complimentary facilities would be preferred, and we will take this suggestion into consideration as we review our amenities package.
We hope to welcome you back again soon!
This is an absolute fabulous place to stay! Adorably decorated, clean and convenient to everything! We can’t wait to come back!!

Thank you for your great review! We’re so glad you found the place clean and well-equipped, and that the location worked well for you. We’d love to host you again in the future!
We really liked the property. It was great having 2 outdoor porches. AC was great and it was lovely to have a comfy king-sized bed as many places only offer a queen. Decor was soothing and on-point. And proximity to the excellent Litte Pearl restaurant was amazing! We also had the great fortune of having all adults as fellow guests.
Just blocks from Duvall, the cottage community felt small and cozy. We loved having the pool, as well! Would definitely stay here again!

Clean home next to the pool in the complex. Near many restaurants and within walking distance of many Key West attractions. Nice pool but short drive to many beaches
Nice spot, great pool, clean, highly recommended 👌

Excellent, we had a wonderful week, very central to everywhere. People very friendly, bungalow surprisingly roomy. A/C a bit noisy, but otherwise, a great place to stay, we will be back.

We loved this property. Just right and in the perfect location to walk to just about anywhere in Key West. Close to Duval Street, restaurants, bars, and attractions. It was as advertised, well-kept, bright, and sunny. I would stay again!
The property is amazing, quiet, and secluded while also being close to everything you want to do and see while on the island. We travel a lot and this place is among our favorite properties to stay at. You won't be disappointed.
Cute little cottage, comfortable and well equipped. The window air conditioners are very loud, but may not bother some. Also, we would have enjoyed the pool more if it was warmer. Other than those issues we enjoyed our stay!
