About this property

Pete's East Cottage: Cypress east cottage steps from Duval

This property has it all! The styling of the original shot gun homes of Key West restored with a beautiful natural cypress exterior combines with the clean lines of a contemporary home. Each Twin opens to it's own semi-private deck and lounge area with steps into a large kidney shaped pool with waterfall. Inside the comfortable living room there is a spiral staircase to the loft second bedroom with unique glass railing. Large windows in the kitchen bi-fold away to allow serving directly to the pool deck and capture the warm, tropical, Key West breezes. If cooking isn't for you on your vacation, stop by the Banana Cafe Restaurant or one of the many other delicious options steps away on Duval Street. The Twins allow for great flexibility in your vacation planning. Rent this property as a two bedroom/one bath or add the other unit to make it four bedrooms/ two bath.

Was a great place to stay. Close to ac lot of things and very comfortable. Pool was excellent. Only thing parking, but that's a problem all over Key West.

Thank you for the great review Darin! We are so glad you enjoyed the pool and found the home comfortable. You hit the nail on the head regarding parking, it is definitely a 'Key West quirk' given our historic streets! We’re happy that being close to everything allowed you to park the car and explore the island on foot. We hope to have you back again soon!

Great location! Very quite yet just steps from Duval. Pool was clean and the auto waterfall and night lighting in the pool made it easy to enjoy. Plenty of towels and the beds and pillows were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Rental company helped us out by storing our luggage after check out since we had a late flight out. Very easy to work with!

The kitchen did not have any dish towels or a dish rag we went out and bought are own. The sponge was pathetic and we threw that out and got a new oneParking was a bit tricky often at night needing to park 3-4 blocks away but we were warned about that the thing that we were not warned about was the roosters growing at 2:30 in the morning overall we loved the place and especially the pool. We felt like we had a private oasis.
Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2026
Response from VrboOwner on Apr 9, 2026
Thank you for your honest feedback! We are thrilled that you loved the private oasis of the pool area, it really is the heart of that home. I sincerely apologize for the kitchen linens and the sponge. Regarding our local 'celebrity' roosters, they certainly march to their own beat! We try to warn guests about the island's quirks, but we’ll make sure to highlight the 'Key West Alarm Clock' more clearly. We truly appreciate you taking care of the home and would love to host you again (with plenty of towels next time!)
