About this property
Key West Suites Hotel - Adam Scott Rote Suite
Welcome to your charming private studio apartment right on Duval street! Built in 1919, it used to be called the Central Hotel because it’s located at the most central location on Duval bordering Southard Street and is just steps up on the second floor overlooking both Duval and Southard Streets.
The building once housed the Chrysler/Desoto car dealership, a furniture store, and later a clothing store when the Beatles came to make a purchase which caused the cashier to pass out on the floor. It has since been refurbished into a beautiful art gallery, two restaurants, a bar, and the newly renovated apartments upstairs. The stately solid concrete building is extremely quiet so that you can’t really hear much of Duval despite being right on Duval.
This in an unbelievable place and is priced right for what you get and the location. Absolutely everything is new, it was gutted and redone top to bottom. The floors and kitchen and bathroom were completely ripped out and rebuilt. All the top end appliances are brand new. The floor is completely new, the ceiling fans, new, lights, new, the bathroom with huge slab tile and solid glass partition, all new and amazing. When you walk in you are overwhelmed with a Wow factor! The biggest comments I hear from tenants is great location, much larger than I could imagine, clean, and silent. You may need a white noise machine to sleep because of how quiet it is. Someone who wants to be in old town on Duval in a luxury space this is more than awesome.
The 677 sq.ft. studio apartment boasts 10-foot ceilings with fans, 2 King beds (Sealy Posturepedic) plus a Queen size pull out leather sofa bed, huge 55-inch Samsung 4k smart tv, HD cable, Keurig coffee maker, full kitchen with pots, pans, plates etc., fridge with ice maker, stove/range, full length mirror, large window looking onto Duval and Southard street, complimentary extreme speed xfinity Wi-Fi and a huge luxury shower for rinsing off your salt of the sea.
The corner of Southard and Duval is right downstairs, and from there you can reach in near equal distance Fort Zachary state park beach, Mallory Square, Hemmingway’s house, and the Southernmost point. There’s also great eating next door, the noodle shop Kojin, Thai and the best sushi Miso Happy, Cuban coffee queen for breakfast and lunch, keys coffee across the street with excellent sandwiches, Mr. Z's cheesesteaks across the street, the best vegetables at the Café across the street, fine dining within a block, great live music venue bars also within a block, and a quarter mile from ft Zachery state park.
You must be able to bring your own luggage up two flights of stairs as it’s on the second floor, and there is no elevator to the historic building.

About the host
Hosted by Everett H. Smith
Everett grew up in the charming deep South yet found that nothing beats the southernmost island of Key West. After leaving the U.S. Navy and then graduating from Florida State University he set his sights on Key West’s island culture and balmy breezes. He worked for a top real estate company specializing in vacation rentals while managing the company’s two rental offices. After acquiring over 18 years of expertise on the job, he decided to further his career in paradise by joining Ocean Sotheby’s International Realty along with his wife Kellie. Together Everett and Kellie have a combined 35 years’ experience in Key West real estate sales and rentals as professional REALTORS®.
Kellie met Everett in Key West and their shared passions blossomed into much more. They both love real estate, fine art, fishing, boating, photography, dogs, each other, and especially their young son Wyatt.
Kellie moved down from Washington DC after graduating from the University of Vermont and hails from a real estate family going back generations. It’s in her blood. Her real estate experience started from birth. Her laughter and smile is catching, and matches the life she lives in Key West. She came down for a weekend getaway with friends and fell in love with the island vibe. She decided to stay in Key West and make it her home.
