About this property
Romantic Retreat - 2 person K Suite, Pvt deck/Spa!
Romantic Retreat is an Historic, free standing cottage which, in the 1800's, was the cistern for the Cigar Maker cottages here. It is decorated in a light Caribbean motif, efficiency kitchen (frig, microwave, coffe maker, blender, toaster/oven) and a very airy bathroom with tub/shower. A 14" King memory foam Pottery Barn bed with baskets underneath and sleeps 2 persons only. 32” Smart TV (bring your Netflix, Amazon UN/PW's). Bose Bluetooth speaker, Amazon Alexa provided. A private adjacent deck with a 2 person Solana spa/seating. Also handicapped accessible.
Historic Romantic Retreat dates back to the 1880's when this building was used as a cistern. Over the years, a building was added on top of the cistern when rainwater was no longer collected from the gutters. It has been totally renovated with vaulted ceilings throughout. Painted in a light tropical blue with fish and colorful art, this delightful private unit is next to the pool. An under counter refrigerator, toaster/oven, blender, perfect for light meals. There is also a Weber grill by the pool for your use. A covered veranda at the rear of the pool is perfect for a game or lunch under the fan. Cooled with ceiling fans/Mitsubishi split units for cooling and heat, plantation shutters will remind you you are on a tropical Island. It also has a Bose Bluetooth speaker and a large Alexa for your favorite music or answer to questions. Use of 2 heated pools, the Family pool or the Adult’s Only pool across the street at 915 Center St. There are also 2 W/D’s for your use after 5 pm when housekeeping is finished. Pool towels are provided and you will receive daily housekeeping.
You have a private deck with table, chairs, love seat. You have access to 2 heated shared pools and the grounds.
Housekeeping and groundsman/maintenance are on the property daily from 9 - 5pm daily and you receive daily maid service.
Quiet vacation rental neighborhood. Bike/moped rental at corner, 24 hour CVS and Subway is across Truman. WE ARE DOG/CAT FRIENDLY!
Walk, bike, moped, electric car. There is also a free bus around Old-town and there is a map of all the stops in your in-room information book. Stops are just around the corner from us!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Naomi Van Steelandt
I am a reformed RN who decided I liked caring for people on the wellness end of the health spectrum! I renovated/decorated/loved my properties since starting Center Court-Historic Inn & Cottages in 1994. I moved to Key West from Tampa in 1984 and love everything about Key West! I enjoy going out in my boat to the back country, taking care of animals and loving life.
Why they chose this property
Center Street is between Duval and Simonton Streets, just off Truman Ave. This area is approved for Transient Rentals (nightly rentals) and I realized the value when I purchased it in 1984. At that time, I was the first person to move onto Center Street and start renovating...it is perfectly located for everything you would love to do in Key West.
What makes this property unique
My properties are all historic, from the 1880's in an area that was initially inhabited by Bahamian settlers. Truman Avenue was once the demarcation line dividing Key West from Monroe County. Superb location, close to everything you want to do and see but on a quiet 2 block lane so very quiet, yet around the corner from the fun of Duval Street.
