Looking for the perfect AFFORDABLE hide-away in Key West? Located in a remodeled Victorian Home - this guest room is just perfect for two and has a pool in the backyard!

This guest room is cozy (the size of a small hotel room, 10'X12.5' plus bathroom) with a QUEEN size bed but is so much better than a hotel room. We provide high quality cotton sheets and thick, luxurious towels. We offer a studio kitchen with apartment sized fridge, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, two burner cook top, blender, and everything you'll need to cook and serve a romantic meal. It is nice to be able to make a sandwich or picnic to take to the beach! There is a wonderful table just out the back door if you would like to eat under the palm trees.

Don't want to cook???
No need really - just two and a half blocks up is Duval Street where hundreds of bars & restaurants await your fun times. The beach is a five minute walk and there you can enjoy the gorgeous warm turquoise water ALL YEAR ROUND. Just relax on the pristine white sand under the tall swaying palms. When you get too hot - simply stroll back to your air conditioned hide-away or take a dip in the pool.

Two bikes are provided for your use at no extra charge. They are right on property with the number 6 (our studio number) on each bike. You will be able to ride to beaches, parks, botanical gardens and of course, bars, restaurants and sunsets!!

The bed faces an armoire and 32' flat screen TV. The gorgeous Victorian Home which is now divided into individually owned rooms - is an architectural masterpiece... but unlike many bed and breakfasts, walls are thick and your privacy is insured. The neighborhood is a wonderful mix of guest houses, full time local folks, and visitors. While you are walking the streets - stop and chat a spell with anybody who is rocking on their front porch. You might meet some real Key West characters! Our location is so close to Duval (a five minute walk) - it will be a great place to gather with friends to head "downtown".

OUTSIDE There is a wonderful back deck with lovely shaded eating area and pool, another picnic table under the huge Banyan tree, and lots of lounge chairs to lay in the sun. These are all within the fenced yard of the property. It really is amazing to find this quiet seclusion right off of the excitement of Duval Street!

We want to provide an affordable solution to the high prices of Key West Hotels - and we think this is it! If you are looking for a full service hotel this is not for you. My studio is best for folks that want to see Key West, not stay in their room during their vacation. While it is quite small, it is one of the best values in Key West. We don't pretend to be a full resort, we are a great option for those that are looking for value and a clean well-appointed room! WE GUARANTEE YOUR UNIT WILL BE SPARKLING CLEAN UPON YOUR ARRIVAL. So come on down to the Southernmost City and have some fun!

You will enjoy our 'Favorites' book which has all of the menus of our favorite restaurants and ideas for day trips. We live here and if you have ANY questions - PLEASE call and ask...we know ALL of the LOCAL HOTSPOTS.

You can rent nightly or weekly!!!

Rates range from $129 to $319 per night, holiday and special event rates may be higher.

Your Rental Will Include The Use of Two Bikes For Free!!!

One Time Cleaning Fee - $90 on all stays regardless of length of stay.

This room was perfect for us! Everything we needed was included except coffee pods so pack your own. We loved the proximity to Duval Street and the Southernmost Point. We enjoyed the pool and met a nice couple there. We were able to park right in front of the building. We would definitely stay at this property again!

If you are looking for a clean room close to everything this is a great place! Pool is wonderful after a long day walking. There is laundry on sight and has two types of coffee pots, kerig and a regular maker. You will need to bring your own coffee. There is a microwave and small refrigerator. It is a small room but all you really need. One note, the lock boxes are not really numbered well. The dark box is 6. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

We had a great time. Good location. Loved the pool, and we used the bicycles to get all around the island. The condo was small but had everything you would need and was clean and cozy. We would rent it again!One suggestion: Clearly mark the lockboxes. We had to try the code on every box till we found the right one. Also, we didn't know that after entering the code on the building door, you have to press the # symbol.

We don't get the "exceptional" rating at all. It felt like we were at the beach. The floor was filthy and full of sand. Our feet were black in 5 minutes. We lost all water pressure for several hours and the lock box is very frustrating. Get one that works. Took me 5 minutes to put the key back. That said Ken was very communicative and it's in a great spot. Very small. We loved the pool which is very nice. This is in a great spot close to everything. I'm not a fancy boy at all. If it were clean I'd of given a better review

We stayed in the Rembrant room #6Great location in a quiet place with a super value. I really liked that he had no hidden fees. Clean and well stocked with nice add ons like beach chairs & umbrella, soft sided cooler, and bikes for local travel. Parked the car and used bikes for everything including transportation to the Yankee Freedom boat dock to the Dry Tortugas. Pool was clean and perfect temp. Bring your own coffee keurig cups or ground coffee for the drip coffee maker. Nice to have an extra fan as the mini air conditioner could barely keep up and we didn't have a hot week. Only improvements is to have a better lock box key pick up. The boxes aren't marked and it took multiple attempts to open the lock box with the provided code. Frustrating when you arrive but can't get in....Lastly, they need a new tire pump as the one in the closet doesn't work. Still left with a satisfactory approval and would recommend staying with Ken place.

Amazing Studio, Wonderful Trip

Ken's place is awesome. Between the included use of two bikes to putt around town, the perfect location (close enough to walk to Duval, but still away from the craziness), the spotless room and bath, ice cold A/C unit, comfy bed, and well apportioned mini kotched...I can't imagine a better deal in Key West. My fiance and I had a blast for our week there. Ken was amazing as well in his communication and helpfulness with the area. Hope we can stay whenever our next trip to KW comes!

We were very happy with our studio, the location and having bikes to get around! The entire rental process was super easy. We loved the fact that we had bikes to get around. We took full advantage of them and rode them everywhere. We were able to see a lot and enjoy the Keys at our own pace.
