About this property
Serenity now. Private Home. Pool. On the water.
LOCATION LOCATION! Located on the only canal in Key West, with a protected bird sanctuary across the canal. A short Uber ride to Duval Street to all of Key West's fun filled amenities. On the same street as Jimmy Buffet's former home in New Town. A short walk to the ocean.
BOAT LOVERS! Five minutes to open ocean. Keep your boat in the canal right at your back door.
KAYAK LOVERS! Slip the two sea going kayaks into the water and explore the mangrove trails and Salt Ponds right across the canal.
ANGLERS! Fish directly off the stone deck out back and catch anything from snapper to grouper. Throw them on the grill and have dinner by the water.
Serenity and privacy can be yours as you relax on the patio by the large free form pool, right across from a protected bird sanctuary with gorgeous unencumbered views of the sunrise and sunset over the mangroves. Ten minutes away from the zany fun of Duval Street when you are ready to party. Two bikes (Cruisers) available to explore the hidden corners of the island.
A beautifully landscaped, family-owned home on Key West's only canal, Dragonfly gives you the feeling of visiting an old friend instead of a sterile rental unit. This 1950's retro-chic house is furnished with an eclectic combination of custom furniture, family antiques and wicker in an exclusive area of Key West not usually on the rental market. This property includes all the amenities of your own home. You will enjoy two newly remodeled baths, a fully functional kitchen, linens, big screen SMART TV (Prime, Netflix, MAX, HULU, etc), high speed internet, washer/dryer, air conditioning and outdoor grill. The backyard has plenty of seating by the luxurious private pool on the water. Large private driveway for parking multiple vehicles and a boat/trailer.
Bedding configurations: 3 BR 2 BA. Two king size beds (one of which can be separated into two twins) along with bunk beds (full and single) with additional single bed trundle. Additionally two pillowtop King and Queen blow up mattresses for your convenience. 1900 square feet. Large wrap around yard.
If you are looking for that anonymous condo feel this is not the place to go, but if you want a home away from home that is charming and relaxing Dragonfly is for you.
