About the host

Host profile image

Key West has been home to me for more than a decade, and hospitality has been a big part of my life throughout that time. My background in hotel management and vacation rentals has given me a deep appreciation for what makes a stay truly comfortable, from a thoughtfully prepared home to the local recommendations that help guests experience the island like a local. I love sharing Key West with guests and helping them discover the places and experiences that make the island special. I’m always happy to recommend favorite restaurants, beaches, sunset spots, activities, and hidden gems. My goal is to make your stay feel easy and comfortable from beginning to end, whether you’re visiting Key West for a few days or settling in for a longer stay. I hope you enjoy the relaxed pace, historic charm, and unique character of the island as much as I do.

Its location makes it easy to enjoy the island on foot or by bike, with beaches, restaurants, cafes, shopping, galleries, and many of Key West’s favorite attractions nearby.

The cottage is also especially well suited for longer stays, with a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living space, private outdoor areas, fast WiFi, and convenient parking. It has the feel of a cozy Key West home rather than simply a place to stay, making it an ideal choice for slowing down and enjoying island life.
