About this property
**LARGE PRIVATE HEATED POOL and PATIO**1/3 Mile from Beach
Located on a quiet residential street in the beautiful key west neighborhood of casa marina just blocks from Higgs Beach, a low key paradise has a beautiful open layout, with views of the large private patio and heated pool visible as soon as you enter. Guests can walk to nearby higgs beach, and higgs beach dog park— perfect for your family member with fur! (dogs are welcome.) the hustle and bustle of duval street is just a quick 15 minute walk, or 5 minute bike ride away as well.
Throughout the house, you will find brand new, high-end tiles and crown molding, as well as brand new paint.
The master bedroom has a fully-renovated en suite bathroom that includes double vanity sinks, a luxury shower with ceiling-mounted rainfall shower head, a riverstone shower floor, tiled shower bench, a brand new toilet, brand new rubbed bronze fixtures and floor to ceiling tile. Additional amenities in the master bedroom include 47 inch wall-mounted hd tv and french doors leading out to the gorgeous patio and pool area. The second bedroom has a queen bed, full futon, hd tv, brand new, full, plush carpeting, and is next to the newly-renovated second bathroom with floor to ceiling upgraded tile, new vanity and sink, new toilet and new brushed nickle bathroom fixtures. A second large sitting area also has a full pull-out couch for more sleeping options. Enjoy the comfortable new living room furniture while reading a good book, or watching your favorite show on the 60 inch hd tv. Or if you want to enjoy the beautiful key west weather, head outside to your private patio and pool area, and relax by the pool, or sit at your private bar and watch the big game on your private outdoor hd tv, while surrounded by mature, colorful, tropical landscaping.
Additional amenities include wifi all-in-one printer/scanner/copier, and a porch swing and rocking chair on front patio.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Although we do not guarantee refunds for cancellations; in the past we have had a few guests' need/want to cancel their reservations for various reasons. We immediately relisted our house as available on VRBO and successfully rebooked the vacation dates every time-- making it possible for us to refund the original guest their deposit(s). While not a guaranteed return of money-- it has worked in the past!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Emily Altshuler
Hello, thank you for the interest in our beautiful home in Key West! Our names are Emily and Mike, and we hope you are able to enjoy our home, and Key West, as much as we do/have! We are both born and raised in Maryland, and still live here with our 3 young children.
Why they chose this property
It took about 5 minutes into our first trip to Key West to realize we were smitten. We fell in love with the town. From the unique restaurants and bars, to the beaches, to the small island feel that makes you forget you are in the United States, we knew we would be spending more time down here. We had been talking about potentially buying a vacation property for years, so we decided to just go for it. But we didn't want just any property - we wanted a home. We found this gem, charming, wide open, and just begging for a little TLC. We spent 3 months giving this home the kind of character it deserved. From high-end appliances and fixtures, modern conveniences, including large, flat screen HD Tv's inside and out, to brand new tiling and carpeting throughout, and of course, Key West beach colors throughout, we couldn't be happier or prouder of what we've been able to create. We can't wait to share this with you.
What makes this property unique
WHAT SEPARATES OUR HOME? We think our home is a one of a kind. First and foremost, have you rented from a management company and felt like just one of a hundred other nameless customers? We are not a management company. We are owners, who take great pride in providing not just a home, but an experience to our guests. We have exactly 1 vacation property that we rent - this one. So you will get 100% of our attention. The one comment we've heard more than any other from our guests is how nice it is to deal directly with owners, rather than a large management company. Our promise to you - we want you to have a 5 star experience - if anything falls short of that, let us know, and we will fix it. Immediately. No questions asked. We have an electronic keypad that will provide access. We control it remotely, so you will be provided your own unique code that you request and it will be good from the day you arrive to the day you leave. So no stopping and wasting the first day of your vacation picking keys up at a management company. Drive right to the house, enter the code, and start your vacation. Even better, call Kathy at the Hip Tourist - (305) 292-3332, and she'll have the house stocked with groceries, flowers or anything else for your arrival. We went to great lengths to make sure that our home had a balance of top-end finishes as well as modern conveniences and comforts, while still retaining the Key West Conch charm that we fell in love with on our first trip. We are humbled at the amount of interest in our property, and the number of return guests in the short 2 years since we've listed (we've not yet had an open month). We believe it is a testament to the combination of luxury, charm and value that our home provides. All in the middle of the Casa Marina district, one of the most coveted areas on the island.
