About this property

J Ferrara #9: Charming Studio Oasis, Steps from Duval Street, Southernmost Point & Shared Pool!

Welcome to J Ferrara, your ideal retreat in the heart of Key West!



Nestled on a quiet street in the artist-inspired condominium complex in Bahama Village, The Galleria has a rich history dating back to the early 1900s. It was once a popular spot for traveling artists who came to Key West for inspiration and showcased their work in the nearby art galleries on Duval Street. Our cozy studio offers a peaceful base for your fun, adventurous vacation. Just 10 blocks from the beach & a short 2.5 blocks from the famous Duval Street, our location provides easy access to the best of Key West. Whether you're returning from a day of sun & sand, a boat excursion, or a leisurely stroll down Duval Street, our studio is the perfect Old Town Key West stay! Our vacation rental is named after one of our dear and talented friends, James Ferrara of J Ferrara Gallery. Based in South Florida, James specializes in underwater photography. You will find several of his pieces throughout the room! Whether you seek relaxation, adventure, or a mix of both, J Ferrara provides the perfect base for your Key West getaway.

Great location! Short walk to Duval St., Hemingway House, the lighthouse, and more, while being on a very quiet residential street. On site laundry was nice. Outside lock was somewhat difficult to see and operate with touchscreen buttons instead of mechanical buttons. Battery died in this device, but was replaced within 24 hours. Small pool, but we enjoyed it. Great artwork and is a very unique place to stay. Check out the fancy toilet with heated seat and bidet. We would definitely stay again!

The only problem we had with this property was that someone had left their snuff spit bottle between the bed and the wall. That made me wonder if the bed had been changed….
Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 3 April 2026
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry to hear about this experience—that’s certainly not acceptable and not the standard we strive to maintain. The home is professionally cleaned before every stay, and while the space around the bed is tight, this item was clearly overlooked and should not have been missed. We completely understand how finding something like that would be concerning, and we sincerely apologize for the impression it left. Had we been notified during your stay, we would have addressed it immediately and ensured everything was properly rechecked. We’re following up with our cleaning team to prevent something like this from happening again. Thank you for bringing it to our attention, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to provide a much better experience.

The location is good, very walkable to Duval St and Bahama Village restaurants. To stay here again, I would check if they have a bigger room. It was very small for 2 people. Smaller than a hotel room. The air conditioner was loud though the street noise wasn't. The checkin/checkout process is easy. Restaurants nearby we would recommend are The Red Shoe and New York Pasta Garden. Service and food were excellent. Just a five minute walk to either.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the location and the easy walk to Duval Street and Bahama Village, and we appreciate the restaurant recommendations as well. Regarding the room size, the square footage is included in the listing prior to booking so guests know what to expect. All of the rooms are within a similar size range, so while the space itself can’t be changed, we do try to be as transparent as possible about the size ahead of time. We also appreciate you mentioning the easy check-in and check-out process. Thanks again for staying with us while visiting Key West
