About this property

Casa De Cuba A Beach House - Cuban Flair Steps From Duval

Location! Style! Elegance! This restored "beach" home is fabulous combination of everything a great vacation property should be. One half block to Duval Street in the historic district, this location can not be beat. The home's history is rich...neighboring the historic Gato Cigar factory which is now restored and used as county offices. Duval Square is directly across the street with three restaurants, shops, and even a salon and convenience store. The best homemade ice cream in Key West is just down the street!

The house is beautifully decorated with warm colors, sophisticated furnishings accented with Cuban and beach themed artwork. There is both a living room and reading area in the front of the house and a indoor/outdoor room to enjoy the tropical lifestyle of Key West. A large farmhouse table sits in the sun room with french windows and doors overlooking the pool directly off the new kitchen with black granite counters and stainless steel appliances.

The master bedroom is beautifully decorated with its black pencil post bed and unique bathroom with spa style vanity. The second bedroom sits to the back of the house and feels like the master suite with french doors to the outdoor sitting area and pool.

The 21-foot long heat optional pool features benches on each side for relaxing (one with jets!) There is an outdoor table and nearby gas grill for outside/open air dining.

Cute, cozy house walkable to everything!

The house was a perfect size for our family. We had room to stretch out and enjoy ourselves. The pool is a little bit small, but heated and in the shade, which was nice in the afternoons when we come back from the beach. Location was great. Just a few steps from Duval Street. Our teenage daughter and her friend were able to walk and get food and smoothies and we didn’t worry about at all. Being a few steps off of Duval I will say it was a bit noisy but typically that died down by midnight. Owner was wonderful to communicate with and check in process was easy. House was clean and well maintained.

Excellent location and great house

Location: 1 mile from Mallory Square House was very clean and well laid out. Good water pressure (it's never great in Key West). Landlord was very responsive. Would definitely stay again

Great house

This is a fantastic property. Very clean, very comfortable furniture, fantastic amenities (including coffee grinders that are not on the amenities list) and a fantastic location. We would definitely stay here again. There is a little bit of noise. The generator of the municipal building next door did do a maintenance run Wednesday morning, the filter for the pool is right outside one of the bedroom windows. But these are essentially white noises that aren’t that loud. You’re also less than a block off Duval, and there are plenty of people walking around, but what do you expect; you’re less than a block from Duval. None of these issues would prevent me from booking here again, and I only mention them because I saw other reviewers mention them and wanted to give my two cents. As I said, overall this is an excellent VRBO property and experience.

The property was perfect for our grandparents, children, and grandchildren group and even exceeded our expectations. Property management was incredibly responsive to our minimal problems and proximity to Duvall was wonderful! Highly recommend!

Perfect house in the perfect location

My husband and I visited Key West with our 3 year old twins and my in laws and the house was PERFECT for us. Plenty of space and the house was stocked with all the necessities. The backyard although small felt like our own private oasis. The pool was awesome and great for a plunge after a day out. The location was perfect. Right off Duval but the street wasn’t loud or busy at all. Cute shops and restaurants at a stones throw and a Great ice cream place on the corner. Would stay here again for sure!!!

Perfect, Cozy Home

This house was perfect for our family. We rented a golf cart for the week and we had a spot to park. The house came with some extras like hand soaps, laundry pods, garbage bags and spices. They also had nice bath and pool towels. The pool was a little chilly but our littlest didn’t mind. We would bring extra pillows next time. That was the only thing in the house that needed an upgrade. We would definitely stay here again!

All The Right Stuff

Casa De Cuba hits the mark on everything! The location is perfect; walking distance to Duval, but yet quiet at night. Every amenity needed, is provided! Space/Rooms are more than enough, very comfortable for 5 to 6 adults. And the Pool was perfect for relaxing / spending quality family time together! Would highly recommend!

Charming house with great location

We had a fantastic one-week stay with our 2 teen children at this home. It is located near various good restaurants and a 15 min walk to Mallory Square. The home has a lovely plunge pool area for lazy afternoons and cozy spaces to spend time with each other and also spread out. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking. The house has lots of charm and we hope to return again soon.

Fantastic stay!

Casa de Cuba is excellent. We spent a week, 2 adults and 3 teen/tweens and it was perfect. Very walkable to almost everything, but still on a quiet street, and the pool was well used between other activities. Extra large pool towels are a nice touch, and everything was well furnished.

Perfection in Paradise

We have gone to Key West in February for the past 10 years and stayed in many different types of accommodations. Casa De Cuba is, by far, the perfect place for 2 couples or a family. The home is so well laid out , with space for everyone to relax . It is also beautifully appointed with lovely furnishings , a fully equipped kitchen, and impressive artwork. The beds and linens are extremely comfortable. We spent the majority of our time around the pool area and shaded porch . It was the perfect place for morning coffee and afternoon naps. A previous review indicated that the generator next to the property was a nuisance and a real negative. It only came on once during our week and I believe that you will either sleep through it or if you are an early riser, take a short walk to La Grignote for a cup of coffee and a delicious bakery treat. After 10 years, we have definitely found our perfect vacation accommodations in Key West. Thank you Dean for making our stay so comfortable and memorable . See you again next year!

Perfect Location

Well appointed clean home. It is in a quiet location but less than a block from Duvall. Easy to get anywhere in on Duvall. Pool does not get a lot of winter sun. But the landscape is very nice and makes for a lot of privacy.

A little piece of paradise

We had 5 adults stay for a week. The reservation process was easy. Dean is a great host, he answered all of our questions ahead of our visit. We had no need for communication during our stay. Casa de Cuba is impeccably decorated and spacious. The kitchen is well appointed. It is located less than 2 blocks from the quiet end of Duval St with easy walking access to restaurants, bars and entertainment. The pool and gardens in the back are beautiful. Other reviews mention a commercial building next door. There is a garage with maybe a generator in it. We didn’t even notice it from the backyard and it did kick on a couple times during our stay, but it was not intrusive at all. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Casa de Cuba.
