As you enter the front door from your covered porch, you will be welcomed by natural light, sunny walls, and Florida furnishings. The living room opens to the dining area that leads to the kitchen. The living room houses a sofa, chair, split unit AC and a large screen TV. Open to the dining area, you will find table seating for four and eclectic splashes of art.

The bedroom is located off the living room. It’s soothing white walls are peppered with art. The room is cozy and comfortable, and includes dresser storage, a reading chair, bedside lamps, and a ceiling fan. A garment rack provides easy access to your clothing. You can enter the lushly landscaped, shared outdoor space from your bedroom. The snug bathroom with a tub/shower combination is more than adequate for rinsing off after a day in the sunshine.

Amazing Cottage for Two

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and i stayed for 4 days, while roadtripping through Florida. The cottage was exceptionally clean, and well appointed. Bed & linens were very comfortable. Kitchen has everything you’ll need to prepare meals. Shower massage/pressure was AMAZING after a long day of biking around Key West. I’d definitely recommend this cottage for a lovely getaway for two.

Nice location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we had a good time. But the key lock code failed 4 tomes. The furniture a bit old with an uncomfy sofa. And the cottage felt musty.

Communication with the host was easy. Small cottage was only a few blocks off Duval. The neighborhood was quiet. The kitchen was more than adequate for our needs. The air was great in the living room/main room. The bedroom air was a window unit that provided enough “white noise” to help us sleep. We would stay again.

We loved the house. The neighborhood was great. Lots of fun action in town, a 2 minute walk away. We rented bikes and explored the island. Perfect getaway from the cold north.

Beautiful quiet place near everything!!

This property is perfect for a couple to stay. It is quiet, cozy, and romantic. The property is also close to Duval St, and most everything is within walking distance. We didn't rent a car for the whole trip. The property owners have great communication and are quick to respond. We will most definitely be coming back!!!
