The guest bedroom has two twin upgraded pillow top beds that can be converted to a King bed to accommodate a family or two couples. The King is stocked with a very thick down padding and luscious linens for maximum comfort. Enjoy the sounds of the keys or music of Buffet as the guest bedroom is decorated in tribute to crooner and the island lifestyle detailed in framed sheet music.
If staying in for the evening or fixing breakfast or lunch have fun in the 1950’s themed state of the art kitchen equipped with an imported European SMEG Fridge and Stainless Appliances. Likewise, the bathroom has been decorated in an art deco style typical of an earlier time in the Keys.
The front Family room area has features a queen sleeper sofa bed with a down pad and bedding for extra sleeping space. All pillows and bedding are down and of high quality in order to provide maximum comfort on your stay. Quite simply, we designed this home to fit in with the Keys lifestyle.

Perfect retreat.

My husband, 8 year old son and my father- in -law enjoyed a quick trip down to Key West. This was a perfect place to stay as everything we wanted to do was easily walkable. The pool was a welcome place to go to cool down mid day and the balcony was delightful for end of the evening drinks.

Key West Adventure

Property was exactly as listed. It’s in a great location. We were within walking distance of any place we had planned to visit. Neighbors gave us some excellent restaurant recommendations. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait for a return visit!

About the host

Hosted by Jenny Blaylock

This home is managed by Simplicity Vacation Property Management. The home is owned by a family that loves to vacation in warm spots and has enjoyed Key West for many years. They loved the VRBO approach, but strive to offer a personable experience to our guests. In furtherance of this belief, they took great strides to decorate the home in such a way as to make it part of the total vacation experience. They hope when looking back on your vacation, the house will feature prominently in your memories and live on in spirit.

Why they chose this property

This property is a smaller property, but is located in the nicest area of Key West. We believe you will find it has been decorated impeccably and is designed with vacationers in mind with the installation of items such as closet organizers to avoid crowding the rooms with unnecessary furniture. It is a clean and above all else fun place to stay as a family or as a couple's get away.

What makes this property unique

Our unit has a parking spot right in front of the front door and the back of our unit overlooks the pool area which is a gorgeous view. When comparing units available we found this particular unit to have a superior location within Shipyard as several overlook a parking lot or are in view of other unit's yards.
