About this property

Pavilion Villa ~ A Private Paradise

A Private Tropical Paradise ... is the feeling you get when you enter the pavilion of this award winning villa just a half-block off Duval St. in Old Town Key West. I first visited this private home when it was featured on the prestigious Garden Home Tour of Key West which opens a fewprivate homes to the public. A total renovation created a stunning one-of-a-kind tropical water pavilion by bridging two cottages with a pool, spacious deck and lushly landscaped garden. The pool is made both mysterious and fantasy-like with beautiful glistening stones and a giant frangipani tree which drapes the pool. Just a few blocks from Mallory Square, steps from grocery shopping, excellent restaurants, popular clubs, the Historic Seaport, and tropical shops makes this one of the most requested and convenient accommodations in Key West. We are so pleased to offer it as one of the more unique properties available in Old Town.

The Pavilion Villa vacation rental home was re-designed to create a spectacular indoor and outdoor multi-level living space which is both elegant and playful. Enter the main cottage from the street side, and you’re immediately reminded you’re on an island by delightful tropical reef carpeting that adorably covers a charming historic staircase leading to the 2nd floor sleeping loft. Here you find a 1 ½ story dwelling which houses the living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, and a full bath with a beautiful indoor/outdoor shower room.

The inventive layout of the main historic cottage maximizes the use of available space, using every nook and cranny to offer something both functional and beautiful. Immediately inside the front door to your left, is the first bedroom with two twin beds that can be put together to make a king bed on request. Straight ahead of the front door is the small scale historic stair case which leads to a loft-style bedroom. This bedroom provides a queen size bed, and has an added feature of a roof-top balcony that overlooks the pool. Back downstairs is one more bedroom, with a king size bed, and an artistic Caribbean blue bathroom with a sunken tub and elaborately tiled large private indoor/outdoor garden shower.

Updated in December, 2015, the dining room, completely renovated kitchen, and beautifully furnished living room are towards the back of the main cottage, and are linked to the pool and deck through double sets of French doors. An outdoor dining table and chairs set just outside the doors serve to extend the living area to the outdoors to the pool and deck area which draw you to the second two-story cottage which is on the opposite side of the pool. Once on the deck pavilion, it is almost impossible to proceed to the back cottage without stopping to dip your toe in the pool, and take in the beauty of the garden. The private spacious deck has plenty of room for sunning and lounging. A second bathroom in the outdoor garden area, consisting of a sink and commode room, and tiled shower room, makes indoor/outdoor living fun and convenient. The main cottage also provides a walk-in laundry room with washer / dryer.

Walk the deck past the pool to reach the second cottage at the back of this unique paradise pavilion. The back cottage has 2 full stories with the first floor set up as a sleeping and lounging area. There is also a large kitchenette and breakfast bar for convenience. The second floor has master bedroom with king size bed and full bathroom, and a spacious balcony which overlooks the pool and looks back towards the front cottage.

The design of the Pavilion Villa Key West vacation rental makes it ideal for family groups or groups of friends. The pavilion-style plan provides two private buildings which are adjoined with a spacious outdoor living room for all to gather. It should be considered as an ideal location for a wedding party to reside, but not to stage the wedding. At the same time, the intimacy created by the garden pool pavilion make this unique home a wonderful location for a couple or a smaller group who want privacy and room to spread out.

This home is offered as an exclusive vacation rental in the most requested location in Key West. The property will not tolerate smoking inside.

Even Better than Listing
This was the perfect house for a girls trip. The location is wonderful by Duval Street and a grocery store and Walgreens extremely close. There’s an adorable cafe on the corner for fresh coffees in the morning. We truly enjoyed our stay. I would recommend a sound machine as the roosters in Key West come out in full force.

Paradise
Staying at Pavilion Villa was an amazing experience for our family of 10. The private pool was perfect! The location was perfect too. The only con was the broken sleeper sofa, which we were counting on to sleep our party of 10. They did provide an air mattress to replace it. One additional suggestion would be a railing on the wall in the bathroom/shower for improved accessibility, as we traveled with a disabled family member. Otherwise, we couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable place to stay in Key West!

Host profile image
Few world destinations have such a remarkable collection of original century-old Victorian and Caribbean architecture as Old Town Key West. Our company' s success was founded on our belief that the remarkable island homes and neighborhoods are not only an excellent tangible investment in our community heritage and economy, they are one of Key West's most important sustainable resources, to be preserved and enjoyed for generations to come.

Our mission is to help honor the heritage and preserve the authenticity of these resources by providing specialized locally owned and operated vacation rental management services. We pride ourselves on being local members of the community that we do business in. Through our proprietary marketing and management system, we provide visitors a unique opportunity to experience island life, by actually living in a Key West house while on vacation. Through this service, we turn the vacation homes we manage into customized profit centers for property owners, by providing guests a special vacation stay.

First time visitors to Key West always find it to be exotic and distinctive, and are surprised to discover the many layers of our diverse island culture. It is undoubtedly a one-of-a-kind corner of the world, with extraordinary architectural and neighborhood characteristics that make it impossible to replicate. There are many ways to experience Key West, and we believe that once guests have enjoyed the delights and charm of staying in a privately owned Key West house, they will have a deeper appreciation of the island where we live.

A stay in a private vacation rental helps visitors enjoy and appreciate Key West to its' fullest, while at the same time defraying costs and making money for owners of vacation homes. Each property is a unique private residential home that has been set-up as a custom personalized vacation rental. They are not standardized like a hotel room.

We are also well educated world travelers, with several international staff members who help bring a global awareness to our customer service. This means we have both the local knowledge required to get things done on a small island hundreds of miles from the nearest city, and the sophistication required to manage privately owned vacation homes that are part of a world destination that increasingly caters to the luxury traveler. Over 25 years later, we are still going strong, and believe in what we are doing.

What makes this property unique

VHKW ~ Vacation Homes of Key West is a premier locally owned and operated vacation rental management (VRM) company providing personalized service, through the use of a proprietary management and marketing system. We specialize in vacation rental property management which involves marketing, renting, and maintaining weekly and monthly vacation rentals in Key West, Florida. While other companies are moving into corporate off-the-shelf management systems that force compliance with mega corporate on-line travel and vacation rental websites, we have remained independent and flexible, based on our decades of experience. Also, by design, we do not sell real estate and we do not manage long-term rentals. This allows us to completely focus on providing detailed and outstanding vacation rental management services for privately owned Key West weekly rentals and Key West monthly rentals.
