If you want a feel for Old Florida, I highly recommend this traditional Key West cottage. We could easily drive or walk anywhere we wanted to go. The semi-private pool was deliciously cool in the midst of steamy oppressive heat in early October. I particularly enjoyed that the pool was shaded in the late afternoon.Ignore the window air conditioner shown in the photo. They have a new split central AC system that worked fabulously! That window unit is now just a backup. The shower also had a nice update. We truly enjoyed our stay here, especially since the owner moved his car (arranged ahead of time) so we could park our small kayak trailer next to our car. Two off street parking spots in Key West is unheard of! We greatly appreciated this. We had to stop staying at Truman Annex because of the close quarters parking.I really wanted to give 5 stars but just couldn't. The patio furniture on our deck was tired and the bed creaked loudly (comfortable but noisy). The single pane crank windows either don't close all the way or allow you to hear every word said by the folks in the pool next door (4 feet away, remember this is Key West). For these reasons along with maintenance issues (although addressed promptly) earned 4 stars.If you want sanitized, modern living, this cottage probably isn't for you. If you want the Old Florida Key West experience, give this a try. There is a reason people keep coming back to Key West! We would stay here again.
