Welcome to Casa Amor, our love nest for ten years has been converted into a vacation rental for you. We are located just two blocks from upper Duval Street…home to a multitude of restaurants, art galleries, boutiques, piano bars and historic residences. You are within easy walking distance of beaches, the Southernmost Point (only 90 miles to Cuba!), the Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservatory, the Hemingway House and more.
Our spacious, “Contemporary Caribbean” home and is a recipient of the prestigious Ceramic Star for architectural preservation excellence. It was featured on the House and Garden Tours sponsored by the Old Island Restoration Foundation in 1997 and 2003.
Lush gardens surround a beautiful pool with a waterfall. A large poolside loggia is fabulous for dining and entertaining. High privacy walls insure peace and quiet.
Our three large bedrooms each have a king-size bed. Two of the large bedrooms are on the first level of the home. A sexy spiral staircase leads to the second floor with a master bedroom, bath and walk-in closet.

Our home has two and a half baths equipped with elegant modern fixtures as well as an outdoor shower. The master bath has a soaking tub; a perfect way to relax away a portion of your day.
The ceilings soar in the first floor living areas. A reading room overlooks the gardens. This leads into the great room with a bank of wall-to-wall windows which open to the loggia and overlook the pool and gardens.
The gourmet kitchen opens over a breakfast bar to the living and dining area for easy, casual entertaining. The large living room provides lots of seating comfort as well as a 47” flat screen TV. The DVD/CD unit provides surround sound throughout the house.
Casa Amor is fully out-fitted from pots and pans to luxury linens. Off street parking is available. But, feel free to leave your car at home. You can easily walk, bike or take a Pedi-cab anywhere in Old Town Key West. Amble down our by-ways; view homes that range from Victorian mansions to cigar-maker cottages.

Perfect home base for fun in Key West!
Guest: Csl
(Tampa, FL)
Date of Stay: 11/19/11
Review Submitted: 11/24/11
Our whole family (4 adults, 2 kids) had a great stay at Casa Amor! The location was perfect for all our sightseeing - walking distance to everything (unless you're following my dad in circles!). Such a relaxing way to wrap up our fun-filled days on the deck and in the pool. We were greeted by a cute baby iguana when we first arrived which was exciting. (but that was the only time we saw him and saw no other critters at all - if you're not a fan of such things). The house was comfy and had everything we needed to settle in and enjoy our stay. We'd also recommend breakfast pastries at the little French bakery on Duval St, key lime pie from Camille's just down the road, and fishing with Capt. Hook charters. It was a perfect family get-away!

Enjoy the Carefree Lifestyle at Its Best

The best part about a trip to Key West is the feeling that all your cares are three hours north on US 1. When the six of us got to Casa Amor, that carefree feeling started quicker than we thought it would! Reconstructed from an old bottle factory, Casa Amor is open, cool, and refreshing. From the shaded pool area to the high ceilings and polished concrete floors, it only takes a few minutes until you start settling into the Key West lifestyle. Three couples can enjoy a relaxing getaway here and enjoy both the amenities of the property and its convenient location to all the major Key West sites. We grilled steaks by the pool, played dominos on the patio, and relaxed in the open kitchen. We also walked everywhere, from the southernmost point to the Hemingway house to all the famous bars on Duval Street. We literally did not move our car from the driveway once. Overall, we could not have asked for a better experience. We enjoyed the Hemingway Festival, the snorkeling trip to the reef, the bar hopping and live music, and especially the accommodations. Michel is a gracious host and will point out some restaurant recommendations if you ask. Make sure to try the Blue Heaven for amazing food and ambience! We all look forward to staying here again next year!

3 couples stayed at this awesome house for a trip to Key West in July. We had a blast and thoroughly enjoyed the pool! This house had everything we needed and more, was an extremely comfortable and well kept home. Owners were great to work with! Excellent location, close to everything. Recommend renting bikes, very affordable and a great way to get around the island. Would definitely stay here again and hope to do so soon! Thanks Michel!

Our group of six had a wonderful stay a Casa Amor! The house is just a short walk away from the beaches and Duval Street. The spacious interior, artistic decor, lovely pool, and many great amenities made our vacation easy. We had a great time and would love to stay at Casa Amor again!

We thank you for letting us share your beautiful home with us for the week of May23rd, 2010. It was absolutely perfect. The home had everything in it we needed and more. My daughter's 21st birthday was celebrated with her friends and family here. She loved the home and the area where everything was close in walking distance. Casa Amor was the perfect location.

The Name Says It All ( You will LOVE this place )

My wife and I traveled from NY Last August to stay at Casa Amor to meet up with my family who lives in Miami. To our surprise, the photos on the site do not do the house justice. The property was very roomy, relaxing and very tastefully decorated. The Rooms were big and featured really comfortable beds and furnishings. As soon as we walked in, the feeling of "you're officially on vacation" takes over. The house offered amenities that rival any 5 star resort and the property owner was very charming and accommodating. The Beaches, boating doc, restaurants and attractions were all within a short walking distance of the house. we now plan to make our visit to the keys and Casa Amor, an annual family affair.

Our party of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Amor. The owners were very helpful in steering us to some fabulous restaurants & the sunset at Mallory Square is not to be missed. Very comfortable accommodations.

This house was lacking nothing that we needed to feel at home. The décor is tastefully artistic. And the surround sound home theater negates the need to go out to the movies. I highly recommend this house for all the reasons above but also i have to add that he owners are very friendly and accomodating. 2 thumbs up!!

Being in real estate myself, I'm overly critical of properties.. particularly when they are not as wonderful as the photos and the descriptions indicate. This however was NOT a disappointment. We came down in a group of 4 and found the house to be the perfect distance to Duval Street (for nightlight); we walked everywhere. The only drawback (and it's a very small one) is that the pool is very shaded, so not necessarily a great space to 'catch the sun'. But it is private... and the perfect place to hang out and have cocktails (and we did plenty of that!). Definitely check it out... we'll be back for sure.
