About this property

Tranquility by AvantStay | Close to Duval St w/ BBQ & Shared Pool

Settled in a small community in Old Town, only a short walk to Duval Street, this lovely cottage offers everything you can expect from a perfect Key West rental.
This charming cottage is full of color and creativity, perfect for a couple looking to be close to all the Key West has to offer.

Fun collectibles and the quirkiness of this cottage bring a unique feel that keeps bringing visitors back to Key West. As you enter this whimsical cottage through the glass french doors on the front porch you will find cozy furnishings in the living area and a bright and open kitchen. A half bath and sleeper sofa on the main level allow extra space for an unexpected guest.

Upstairs you will find a loft-style bedroom in cheery colors and a private bathroom to make the suite complete.

The cottage also has a private backyard that is perfect for sipping your morning coffee or unwinding in a tranquil setting with a margarita at the end of a busy day sightseeing. The propane-style BBQ grill is perfect for cooking up a great meal and relaxing at home for the night. The shared pool is just steps from your front door, perfect for an afternoon dip in the cooling waters, sunning poolside, or relaxing with a book in the shade.

Nestled in the intimate gated compound known as The Colony Suites, just 2 short blocks from Duval Street, you could not ask for a more ideal location.
Can accommodate four guests, three comfortably. No dishwasher.

Key West is the place to visit the lively nightlife and relax in the historic charm, flamboyance, and conch-style architecture that early Bahamian settlers made famous. It embodies a clash of the past and the present, and every building (including this rental) in Key West reflects this eclectic ambiance!

Absolutely loved our stay here!! Great location close to Duval street but quiet at night. The pool was just steps from your door and much needed on the hot days!! Very clean and plenty of towels and extra beach towels were a nice touch!! Would definitely stay here again!

Tranquility was fantastic!

Planned a five night getaway for myself and my girlfriend and tranquility fit the bill. Centrally located, updated, pool, and a bit of personality. Staff was great with checkins and checkouts, and the property was in excellent shape. Would do it again!

Great rental for 2 adults. We liked being able to walk everywhere. The property was cozy and secure. It was clean and decorated nicely. We arrived early and the people at the office let us keep our luggage till check in. We would rent again if we get back to Key West.

Great little hideaway

We had a great experience at Tranquility. The photos are accurate, the place is adorable. We enjoyed the deck off of the bedroom very much. The bed was new and firm, very comfortable. Plenty of towels were available, both for the shower and for the beach/pool. We didn't use the pool, but it looked nice. Great location and there's a fabulous restaurant right around the corner called Little Pearl that we had an amazing meal at.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First time to Key West. We liked the location wrt Key West. I will not rent this unit again. Really did not like the two story arrangement. But we saw other units in in the ccmplex that had a more modern look and finish.

Nice Stay

Nice place. It's a little bungalow community of about 10 units that surround the pool. It was just down the block from a little corner gas station for some basic supplies. I think it was 3 blocks from Duval Street so worked out well for just walking about in Old Town. Parking was no issue as there are about 4 spots and not everyone had a car. The pool was larger than I thought it was from the listing and they came to tend to it daily. The unit had everything you needed and they were nice with the housewarming gifts. I like that there was an upstairs balcony to hand out on as well as the downstairs porch and a very nice area behind the unit that was well taken care of with lots of plants and nature. Overall, it was a nice stay and I would stay there again.

Key west

It was very very no frills. The clocks on the walls didn’t work. Not even a bottle or two of water in the fridge. Small bar Of soap. No shampoo. All for $$$$$$$/night. I know it’s high season and prices are high. And supply is low demand is hi. But attention to small details helps convey a more homey feeling

A perfect slice of Key West life

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time visiting Key West. Staying at The Tranquility was perfect. The location (especially being close to the @Home rental office - since you pick up/drop off keys there) made it very convenient to ride bikes and Uber to our destinations. The cottage is set back off of the main road and pool area so you feel that you’re the ones there. A very nice reprieve from the hustle and bustle of Duvall Street. The pool was sparkling clean and the temperature was set to allow you to cool off comfortably from the Florida heat. Our cottage had furniture that allowed you to rest after long days and nights exploring the wonderful town of Key West. Super quaint but large enough for two to relax. Buy a bag of ice (as freezer has ice trays only) and your basic grocery needs at the very conveniently located Olivia’s market right down the street.

Great Location, Private and Secured Access, Private Pool

This was our third time staying in Key West. This is a well-decorated, well-maintained, small property tucked in a great location, not far from Duvall, but far enough away that Duvall noise isn't a problem. There is also an excellent pool on the premises that is shared by all of the units, but private and recently completely-overhauled, and seemed to be heated. We loved it! Like many other Key West properties, this one is short on space and even shorter on parking. We had three adults and made it work using the pull-out sofa bed. But had to put that away every morning in order to have a place to sit. The property has parking for four cars, but a lot more units than that. So... while we were able to load and unload in the parking lot area, we and other renters had to park far away from the unit and walk. Loved the decorations and privacy. But this is the first property we've stayed at that did not include a dishwasher, disposal and free in-unit laundry. This complex has a few coin-operated laundry machines on site. So, two thumbs up on the location, the decorations, and the pool. Two thumbs down on unit space, requirement to hand-wash dishes all week and scrub plates into a trash can (vs. having a dishwasher), and the inability to do a load of laundry or two (thus having to pack wet and dirty clothes, and leave dirty towels and sheets behind for someone else to clean).

Wonderful location and property to explore Old Town

We had a wonderful time at the house and would definitely stay again. It's located a five minute walk from Duval Street, but far enough away that it was peaceful and quiet at night. We cooked several meals in the kitchen and found everything worked great. Communication with the managers worked very well. Check in was easy, and when we had an issue with the water (some people doing work had inadvertently turned it off), the property managers responded quickly and got it fixed while we were out enjoying the sights. They texted when it was addressed. A really comfortable and convenient place from which to explore Key West.

Very Cute! Parking Issue. High extra fees.

Very cute house, shares in quaint little terrace and pool. Pool was clean and nice and warm! Well depicted in pictures. 4 people was tight, thankfully kids are under 10. Wouldn't recommend this for 4 adults. Also there isn't seating for 4 to eat a meal. Not even outside, only 2 chairs, so that was a disappointing. Parking was a problem, there aren't enough spaces for 1 car per unit and street parking was difficult. Very cute inside though and the pool was a lifesaver with the kids since it is >20 min walk to the beach. Final comment is that with the added fees, the advertised nightly price pretty much doubled. Overall, cute little place, but overpriced when you add in the added fees.
