Casita de Catherine by AvantStay | 1 Block to Duval St w/ Hot Tub!

★ Recognized as one of our best. This home was a finalist in the 2025 AvantStay Awards, our annual celebration of top-tier stays.

Casita de Catherine is a hidden gem! Enjoy Island life and live like a local in this perfect cottage on a quiet street in Key West. A welcoming outdoor space with a relaxing feel, this rental features a private hot tub for outdoor entertainment.

The rear entry into this quaint cottage has French doors that open to rich terracotta flooring through the kitchen and living areas. Rustic wooden cabinets are filled with everything you need for a home-cooked meal. The inviting king-sized canopy bed is sure to provide a good night's rest in the bedroom just off the living room and behind a beautiful glass-paneled door.
Enjoy this private home of a local author. Come stay on the island where everyday writers write, roosters crow, and the sun shines. There is nowhere in the world like Key West. Located less than one block off Duval Street, near the famous La Te Da restaurant and bar, and a few blocks from The Southernmost Point.

Key West is the place to visit the lively nightlife and relax in the historic charm, flamboyance, and conch-style architecture that early Bahamian settlers made famous. It embodies a clash of the past and the present, and every building (including this rental) in Key West reflects this eclectic ambiance!
