Don't miss an exceptional opportunity to spend your Key West stay on the grounds of an incredible estate property in the most ideal Old Town location you could imagine. This two-story guest cottage offers many of the essentials and comforts of a luxury hotel plus the added benefits of an in-home washer & dryer, a private patio with a jacuzzi/hot tub, and your own BBQ grill for cooking the day's catch. Whether you are two couples, a family, or a few friends traveling together you'll find opportunities for both privacy and togetherness in this unique vacation home.

DARLING OF DUVAL and Last Key Realty's Five-Star In-Home Guest Services are the perfect combination to create the five star hospitality typically associated with luxury hotels - all in the Old Town location of your dreams.

THE LOCATION...

The drop pin on the map says it all: this estate is right in the thick of the best restaurants, nightlife, shopping, and sightseeing of Key West. This gated estate opens up onto one of the legendary corners of the island but is built back far enough from the street to minimize noise from businesses or passersby. From your balcony you might never know you are just a stone's throw from the best bars and restaurants of Duval Street. You'll also be within half a mile of Fort Zachary Taylor State Park, home to Key West's remarkable state park beach and the family friendly waterfront park. You'll be able to reach all of your favorite spots on foot, but this home does include off street parking for one vehicle or electric car/golf cart as well as space for mopeds or bicycles. When aiming for the true Old Town Key West location, it simply doesn't get any better than this.

THE ACCOMMODATIONS...

This unique guest cottage consists of two studio-style suites, one on each floor. Each floor features beautiful sliding glass doors that create an open-air feeling on breezy days. The two floors are connected by an external staircase.

• First Floor Suite: King bed, large walk in shower, en-suite bathroom, kitchenette (blender, coffee maker, hot plate, microwave) sitting area, SMART TV, washer & dryer.

• Second Floor Suite: King bed, large walk in shower, en-suite bathroom, kitchenette (blender, coffee maker, hot plate, microwave) sitting area, SMART TV, balcony.

YOUR PRIVATE PATIO and JACUZZI...

Outside the first-floor suite is a lovely private patio with outdoor dining for four, a comfortable outdoor lounge area, and a BBQ Grill perfect for cooking today's catch. The jacuzzi is all yours and can be left cool on a hot day or heated up in the winter months. Enjoy a happy hour cocktail in your jacuzzi spa before heading out on Duval for the evening.

Note: There is a pool on this owner-occupied estate property but it is not offered for guest use.

Truly a "Darlin'"!

The overall cottage package was wonderful! Right of off of Duval St. Convenient to everything desirable in Key West. No car needed at this location to get around town.The upstairs and downstairs lodging were super clean, modern, and stocked well! The hospitality of The Last Key Reality is a two thumbs up. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and the beauty of the grounds of the estate.

Great location

We were in Key West for a long weekend. This property is within walking distance to everything. While just a short walk to the action of Duval St, you still feel secluded and it was quiet. Perfect for the group we had.

The Cottage is lovely. Communication was seamless and Charlie at Last Key Realty was incredibly helpful arranging a seaplane trip to Fort Jefferson and a golf cart for Xmas light viewing. Private, quiet and the perfect location off Duvall. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.
