About this property

Pete's West Cottage steps from Duval

This property has it all! The styling of the original shot gun homes of Key West restored with a beautiful natural cypress exterior combines with the clean lines of a contemporary home. Each Twin opens to it's own semi-private deck and lounge area with steps into a large kidney shaped pool with waterfall. Inside the comfortable living room there is a spiral staircase to the loft second bedroom with unique glass railing. Large windows in the kitchen bi-fold away to allow serving directly to the pool deck and capture the warm, tropical, Key West breezes. If cooking isn't for you on your vacation, stop by the Banana Cafe Restaurant or one of the many delicious options steps away on Duval Street. Rent this property as a two bedroom/one bath or add Pete's East Cottage for a four bedroom/ two bath. Bedding: 2 queens

I would highly recommend staying at Pete's Cottages. The location couldn't be better, right off Duval Street and withing walking distance of everything. My only concern going in was that the location might also make the cottage to noisy. This was definitely not the case and the cottage and pool area were quiet and relaxing. The layout worked well for our family of four, and the kids loved the good sized pool. If we return to Key West, we will definitely be staying here again.

Wow, thank you so much for this incredible recommendation Ross! It's wonderful to know the kids had so much fun in the pool, too. We would love to be your go-to home base every time you visit Key West!

The cottage was very clean and had a very nice layout. It’s in a great location at the quieter side of Key West but easily walkable to all restaurants, bars, shopping, and attractions. The backyard and pool are like an oasis. The pool was comfortably heated which made swimming enjoyable any time of day. It was very quiet and peaceful at night. There was some noise in the morning from nearby businesses but it quickly became part of the background noise of the bustling town. We enjoyed our month long stay at Pete’s Cottage West and have already recommended it to family and friends.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for spending your month-long retreat with us at Pete’s Cottage West! We are thrilled that you found the layout comfortable and the backyard oasis, especially the heated pool, to be a highlight of your stay. It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the 'best of both worlds', the peaceful, quiet nights of our neighborhood paired with the easy walkability to the heart of Key West. We truly appreciate the recommendation to your family and friends; there is no higher compliment!

Perfect Spot Right Off Duval

Great property, perfect location right off Duval Street. You can walk to anywhere you want to be from the property which is super convenient. Nice little space to relax, no wasted space and the pool was amazing. We happened to be lucky enough that nobody was staying next door so we had the whole pool to ourselves.

Perfect location, perfect setting!

This place was an absolute gem! Our party of four (two couples) had a fantastic stay. The pool provided a necessary place to cool down after busy mornings/afternoons of sightseeing. The location is awesome - right off of Duval, and surrounded by delicious eateries. La Grignote and Banana Cafe literally right outside the front door. We enjoyed staying here so much! 10/10 would recommend!
