About this property
The GUAVA DUFF - Beautiful KW home with space to chill & lots of FREE PARKING!!
Total renovation completed in 2020! This 4-bedroom contemporary home is waiting for your arrival! The Guava Duff (named after the delicious Bahamian dessert my Grandmother Yvonne used to make) was my grandparents’ home, and the renovation was done with the same tender love and care that Mama Yvonne used to make Guava Duff, by my friends and family, and the result is stunning. We took the walls down to the studs, replaced all the plumbing electrical, and windows, then finished it with contemporary flooring, fixtures, appliances and furnishings. It has an open floor plan for the Living room, dining area and new kitchen and boasts 4 separate bedrooms and two full baths.
Enjoy a great night’s sleep in our beautifully appointed main bedroom with King sized bed, sumptuous pillows, ensuite bathroom complete with a walk-in full body shower and double sinks. Chest of drawers/tv/two closets and with brand new soundproof windows throughout the house, central air as well as ceiling fans will have you sleeping like a baby! The other end of the house has two bedrooms with queen beds and one bedroom with a twin bed and foldaway bed if needed. Hall bathroom conveniently located near the bedrooms with a walk-in shower. The family area is ample for watching TV, discussing your day in Key West or just sitting back and enjoying on-line content with free Wi-Fi. Head out onto the extra-large front porch to chill, grill, watch people go by, or to watch a rugby or soccer game happening at the brand-new Monroe County Bernstein Park right across the street. Hungry? The gourmet kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to create island meals. Dishwasher for easy clean up! Tile throughout the home. Good sized laundry room with full-sized front-loading washer and dryer as well as a laundry sink and door to the side porch. Beach towels also included. Unlike many rental properties on the island, we offer lots of parking at no extra charge. If you have your own boat, there is space to park in front of the house. There are also inexpensive boat slips within 1/2 mile.
This convenient location gives you breathing room from all of the hustle and bustle on the island with a large fully fenced yard. Less than a mile away from great local restaurants and convenience stores including El Siboney, Hogfish Bar and Grill, Hurricane Hole, Roostica, Dolphin Cafe, El Mocho, Dion’s Quick Mart, Jolly’s Liquor Store and CVS. We are also within walking distance of three fine dining great restaurants located at the Perry Hotel and the Stock Island Marina Village- one of the top 50 marina’s in the nation! 10 minutes to Old Town Key West, 14 minutes to Duval St. and 9 minutes to Smather’s Beach!
So welcome to the Guava Duff where you will feel both at home and comfortable and have your own space to enjoy that sweet Key West chill.

This place was perfect for our needs! We were in Key West for work and had the full place, lots of space and sleeping areas for everyone! Stocked with what we needed for cooking. Thank you for being our home away from home!

About the host
Hosted by Donzel Leggett
Unlike the vast majority of the vacation home owners in Key West Florida, I am an original Key West Conch, born and raised on the island. My ancestors immigrated to Key West from the Bahamas 150 years ago and much of my family still lives there. This beautiful home, The Guava Duff located at 25 6th Ave, was my grandparents home, that they purchased on my grandfather James’s laborer and my grandmother Yvonne’s maid salary in 1965, and is where my mother first brought me from the hospital after I was born. So this home is very special to me.
Why they chose this property
The Guava Duff name comes from the delicious Bahamian dessert my Grandmother Yvonne used to make, and the renovation in 2020 by my friends and family, was done with the same tender love and care that Mama Yvonne used to make Guava Duff, and the result is something I am extremely proud of. Uncommon to the island, we have a large corner lot with plenty of FREE parking and a spacious fully fenced yard providing a respite and breathing room from all the hustle and bustle of Key West. We have an over-sized front porch where you can sit back and enjoy a few beers or cocktails in paradise or BBQ and listen to some tunes while watching island life go by. We are conveniently located across the street from Bernstein Park, less than a mile away from great local restaurants and convenience stores including El Siboney, Hogfish Bar and Grill, Hurricane Hole, Roostica, El Mocho, Dion’s Quick Mart, Jolly’s Liquor Store and CVS. We are also within walking distance of three fine dining restaurants located at the Perry Hotel and the Stock Island Marina Village - one of the top 50 marina’s in the nation! We are also just 10 minutes away from Old Town Key West, 14 minutes from Duval St. 9 minutes from Smather’s Beach and 5 minutes from Key West Golf Club! So welcome to the Guava Duff where you will feel both at home and comfortable and have your own space to enjoy that sweet Key West chill.
