Key West Oasis is a private two bedroom/two bath rental cottage ideally located in Charming Old Town, Key West, Florida, close to Duval street, great restaurants, bars and the beach. This 1906 'cigar maker's cottage' has been newly renovated into a stylish Key West retreat. The house features an open floor plan with original Dade County pine walls and ceilings. The main house has hard wood flooring throughout and houses the master suite, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen and the living and dining area. Inside the house are all the comforts of home, with every room providing its own unique feel. In May of 2012, the home was renovated and completely redecorated. Rooms were painted in soft hues and offer a mix of wicker, shabby chic, as well as new and reclaimed wood furnishings.

Three sets of French doors lead from the living and dining area onto your own private lanai and pool area. Bask in the sun and listen to the tranquil sounds of falling water, which is the backdrop of the heated lagoon style pool. Tropical plants and flowers are abundant and offer complete privacy for guests. The back gardens and pool area were designed to create a calming effect, which pervades the mind, body and spirit.

The detached cottage offers a 2nd bedroom and bath with a private open-air shower – what better way to enjoy your morning shower than amidst flowering bougainvillea trees! The cottage also features 20 ft vaulted ceilings and two sets of French doors which open to the garden and pool area. Guests tell us they love having the detached cottage, as it offers couples traveling together much more privacy.

                            I had never been to Key West before and looked all over trying to "figure out" where exactly to stay. I didn't want to be TOO close to Duval, but did want to be able to ride bikes there easily. The Key West Oasis was just right. It's on a quiet street, but you're close to everything. Also, the house and the "pool room" are just beautiful. The pictures online (although beautiful) just can't do it justice. The pool has a waterfall that is so relaxing and although the pool looks small, it is deep and there is plenty of room. Our friends stayed in the cabana room and were hesitant of the outdoor shower. It turned out that they loved it and I was a little jealous. :) The entire process was so easy! Kim sent me lots of insider's information and when I got there, Gary was there to greet us and give us any last minute information we needed before heading out to town. We ate and ate and ate, never having a bad meal. We tried to go to the places that wouldn't be considered touristy and found that Sandy's (super casual for a sandwich, breakfast or whatever) was awesome, Blue Heaven (heaven), Sarabeth's (delicious), Seven Fish (again, delicious) and Santiago's was the best meal we had. We also took a boat over to Stock Island for "Hurricane Hole" for lunch. This is just an outside bar/restaurant but the food was so good. Oh and we had drinks at Louie's Backyard and amazing dessert at BTS. After all this, and the "fun" of Key West, coming home to Key West Oasis was like a treat. It was so tranquil with the decorations, foliage and pool and couldn't have been cleaner. The only reason I don't want to give this 5 stars is so that I can keep it to myself! They will take great care of you!

                            We had a wonderful time! The house is perfect for traveling with another couple! I didn't get a chance to write in the book. But we went deep sea fishing twice, Mike went diving, I did Bikrim twice and visited the Shakti yoga studio twice. We saw the cemetery, went to all the beaches and walked a ton! We cooked almost all our meals. I have Celiac disease and am vegan so eating out can be tricky. So we loved and used the heck out of the kitchen! We really liked the A & B Marina area. Alonzo's happy hour is hard to beat! And we loved the Conch House! The pool was a savior as we had many hot days (especially for us Minnesotans!) The house had all the amenities of home and then some! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

                            My husband and two teen daughters loved our recent stay in Key West. The home is furnished beautifully, with everything you need to relax and enjoy, including tons of extra towels, wash machine,etc. The pool is private and protected, which was a life-saver during the "record cold" weather we had while there. We walked to many places for food and fun, or drove a short distance. Tons to do. Great dining. We'd be back to this charming cottage in a minute!

                            This is my first time using VRBO, and I couldn't be more pleased. The home was within walking distance to all sorts of attractions/dining options. The home itself was nice, in a quite location, and provided you with plenty of privacy. Kim was very kind and quite helpful. There is also a lot of helpful information on places to visit in the house. The pool is a constant toasty 88 degrees and is secluded from the outside. I almost didn't want to leave the house to see the sites it was so nice!! It was fantastic. I couldn't recommend it more.

                            Key Oasis cottage is a hidden gem. The cottage was well-stocked and beautifully furnished. The exterior and interior design features were fantastic; especially the pool area with tropical fauna and little waterfall feature. Key West Oasis exceeded our expectations in every way! We look forward to returning to Key West Oasis in the future.

                            This is a beautiful house with a great pool area. The pool has a waterfall which just sets the whole garden/pool area off. House is nicely decorated. The second bedroom is in a seperate building which if traveling with another couple allows you to get away from one antoher if needed. The second bedroom has a shower that is attached to the bathroom but is outdoors, We had reservations about this before arrival but it turned out to be great. If you rent this house I don't think you will be disappointed. We will be renting it again. Owner was very easy to work with.

                            Tropical Paradise We arrived to a spotlessly clean home that exactly matched the owner’s description and photos, and more than lived up to the reviews posted by prior travelers. This was our first visit to Key West and we found the location excellent as well as easy to find. We walked to many of the attractions we wanted to see and yet had a home base removed from the hustle and bustle to escape to for relaxing afternoons by the pool. The pool is beautiful and heated to the perfect temperature as it was comfortable both on the cooler days we had as well as the days were the temperatures were in the low 80’s. The yard itself is a charming and private little oasis all on its own. It is obvious that Kim and Ron take great pride in the property and ensuring the comfort of their guests; the attention to detail and stocking of kitchen and linen amenities bears testament to their thoughtfulness. Indeed the only issue we had was deciding which bedroom we wanted to stay in as both the main and cottage bedrooms are equally delightful!

                            Came in January for a chill out 9 days in the warm gentle sun to avoid the worst of the winter's weather in the UK. Researched where in the world was 75C in January with low humidity and Key West did not disappoint. Key West Oasis is ideally located in Key West if you like walking. It is in a quiet residental area with a good supermaket 2 minutes away open 8am to 8pm. Higgs Beach 10-15 minutes stroll, similarly the quieter end of Duval street. Full ranges of restaurants from 2 mins to 30 minutes walk away. The beach in the Fort Zachary Taylor Historic Park is well worth a visit but took us almost a hour to walk. The accommodation itself is well layed out relocating the front pouch in the back yard overlooking a small but sufficient large a deep pool to swim in. Everything is finished to a high standard and lives up to its title of an Oasis. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and will probably be returning.

                            My husband and I recently stayed at the Key West Oasis as part of our Christmas holiday celebration. This is such a charming and comfortable home. The house is very well kept and exceptionally clean. The pool was so enjoyable, although it was December. Since it is a heated pool, the cool December evening weather was still enjoyable pool time! The house is furnished very attractively and the kitchen is well stocked with cookware and tools. The location is awesome! We reserved bike rentals before leaving home and we were in walking distance to pick them up the day we arrived. We rode bikes or walked our entire stay, no need to drive, find parking spots or pay for parking. Sandy's Cafe was also a plus... good coffee and cuban sandwiches. Gary, the property manager, was prompt in meeting us at the house to let us in, show us around, and answer any questions about the house and the nearby restaurants, stores, and such.I can't say anything about our house stay that was less than impressive and we can not wait to visit again!

                          Owner info

                          Year Purchased: 2012

                          About the owner: Our names are Kim and Ron Gilbert and we currently reside near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Ron is in the hospitality business and manages restaurants and bars throughout the US and I am in marketing and advertising business.

                          Why the Owner Chose Private Homes, Old Town:
                          We recently purchased this home in December of 2012 and have renovated and completely redecorated it into a stylish Key West Retreat. Key West Oasis is a licensed transient rental property.

                          The Unique Benefits at this House:
                          The home has a separate detached cottage with 2nd bedroom and bath - perfect for couples traveling together, as it offers so much more privacy. The house also has an amazing pool with lush tropical gardens - very private!
