About this property

Colony Poolside: A charming bungalow near Duval Street

Located in The Colony, a secluded compound just steps from Duval Street, Colony Poolside is a peaceful retreat. Enter the home through the serene and inviting living space, accented with blue and white decor, wood floors and pops of color from nautical-themed accents and artwork. A vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and huge transom windows that extend all the way to the tip of the roof add a bright and airy feeling to the cozy space.

The fully appointed kitchen is attached to the living area and features a generous sit-down bar and charming open shelving. Through the French doors lies a private deck for sunning, relaxing and al fresco dining.

The bedroom is accented with wainscoting and features cathedral ceilings, a king size bed, and flat screen television.

Back outside the front door is a porch with Adirondack chairs for enjoying a morning Cuban coffee or a twilight glass of wine amongst the palm trees. The huge Colony swimming pool, which is shared with other residents, is located just steps away. Beaches, shopping, and award-winning restaurants are just a short walk or bike ride from your front door.

If you are staying with a large group, please note that Rent Key West Vacations has two other similar properties to rent within this compound- Colony Sunset and Colony Calypso.

The whole experience was great! Very convenient walking to Old Town. Clean and comfortable unit. The property manager was quick to fix a maintenance issue that needed attention. The only disappointment was the coin-op laundry. For the price of the rental, complimentary laundry facilities makes more sense.

Thank you so much for the feedback! We are thrilled to hear that your whole experience was great and that you enjoyed the convenient walking to Old Town, along with the clean and comfortable unit. We are especially glad that our property manager was quick to resolve the maintenance issue that came up. We appreciate your honest comment regarding the coin-operated laundry. We understand that for the price of the rental, complimentary facilities would be preferred, and we will take this suggestion into consideration as we review our amenities package. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Comfortable and Wuiet

We really liked the property. It was great having 2 outdoor porches. AC was great and it was lovely to have a comfy king-sized bed as many places only offer a queen. Decor was soothing and on-point. And proximity to the excellent Litte Pearl restaurant was amazing! We also had the great fortune of having all adults as fellow guests.
