About this property
Zen Cigar Maker Cottage, magical serpentine pool, serene landscaping, pkg/bikes
Welcome to the Key West Shire! A sublime sanctuary where all your worldly troubles melt away and relaxation is paramount. From our tiny lane, one just sees a darling KW shot-gun shack but wait until you see the oasis! Yes this is one of those places… The Shire consists of 5 tiny houses, a lushly landscaped yard and an extraordinary, shared 70’ serpentine pool that about spans the length of the property. Here your biggest worry will be how to spend your downtime. Cocktails by/in the pool, read a book, do some yoga, meditate, paint/write/draw, go to the beach/out on the town, get a massage or just sit & experience the tranquility. The possibilities are endless!
Your cozy conch shack, circa 1910, will consist of 1 bedroom (queen memory foam), 1 bathroom & an office - along with private front porch & back deck. The stocked galley kitchen has stainless steel appliances & coveted extra counter space. The living room is flanked with stunning Dade County Pine, vaulted ceilings, lots of light & a large flatscreen HDTV & free WiFi.
The decor is primarily Zen, inspiring you to relax. In addition, there is a local 100 year old, live edge pass-through to the back deck - where you will also find a dining table to enjoy your coffee & a paper, happy hour or any meals.
Perfect Bahama Village location, close to the action but not too close, private off street parking, 2 complimentary bikes. Ideal for a single or a couple!

About the host
Hosted by Wendy Rangel
Grew up in the Chicagoland Area, attended Eastern Illinois University, spent 10 years in Colorado (Vail/Beaver Creek & Denver), lived overseas for a year (Netherlands), moved to Key West in 2005 to present. Have a severe love of travel.
Why they chose this property
This is my very first house, upgraded & maintained with love & well-being - also, incidentally, where I still reside the majority of the year.
What makes this property unique
Such a unique set of Cigar Makers, most passersby feel the need to remark, snap pictures, paint or draw them. We all enjoy private porches, share a yard lush with tropical foliage & also share the most unusual pool in Key West!
