About this property

The Emelina is located in a beautiful historic home. This unit is luxuriously appointed with elegant materials and impeccable design. The kitchen is quaint but perfect for cooking, the living room is open and airy with vaulted ceilings adorned in shiplap. The bathroom features a tub and shower combo. As you make your way upstairs to your bedroom you will find a queen size bed, a private seating area and ample storage.

This home has been owned by the same family for generations. This unit is named after the daughter of the Carlos Recio who we believed purchased the home in the late 1800's. It has been passed down ever since.

I imagine the apartment is quite similar to her character, of course only as it has been described to me. She was fun, loving, social and usually would be cruising around Key West with her sister Estela in a Studebaker.

2 month Stay

This property is exactly what is listed! We really enjoyed being 1 block from a grocery store, and a few blocks from many restaurants. The decor was very nice and the extra touches did not go unnoticed. The bed was comfortable, and it is more than enough space for two people. Would recommend this property to anyone! Thank you for a great stay.

Gorgeous Getaway in Paradise!

The Emelina is absolutely perfect in every way. The owners have not overlooked a single detail in the design of this bright, sunny, clean, brand new apartment located in the most ideal spot possible, within mere blocks of the best food, beach and entertainment on the island. The apt is newly renovated and every thing is perfect! The kitchen is clever, clean, well designed and all new. The living room is beautiful and comfortable. The HUGE bedroom loft affords invaluable additional space for work or relaxation. The architecture and interior design are top shelf in the Emelina and every works flawlessly - from the well engineered AC system to the conveniently located and efficient stack washer and dryer (that really cleans one's clothing in no time at all). I can't say enough about this precious place. I have been here now for several months and the very few occasions I had to connect with the landlord, Jenna, she was super attentive and responsive. The TVs in bedroom and living room are great. Cable and internet run fast. It's been a magical visit. If you have discerning taste, I highly recommend The Emelina. I did have a guest visit on a few occasions and they stayed on the very comfortable air mattress provided. The Emelina is everything promised on VRBO and more!
