Emma's Secret by AvantStay | Heart of Old Town | Month Long Stays Only
*Please note that this home is available for 28+ night stays only.*
Located in one of Key West’s historic and most cultural neighborhoods this lovely condominium will give you a cause to celebrate the island's way of life.
A fabulous location that will allow you to walk or bike to all the island highlights. In the heart of Old Town, Duval Street is an easy stroll to the live music, entertaining shops, and galleries along with Mallory Square where hundreds gather nightly to celebrate the setting sun and watch the local street performers. Fabulous food everywhere but the local's favorite and a Key West must, Santiago’s Bodega is just steps away and Blue Heaven where visitors flock for key lime pie and roosters run about your feet.
Located in a private building with only four condominiums, this ground-level unit has been recently updated with appliances, granite countertops, and beautiful wood cabinets. The trendy urban feel to Emma’s Secret comes complete with flat-screen TVs, WIFI, and all you need in your home away from home. Cozy living spaces for the days you need a time out or place to hang your bag in between island adventures.
Relax by the breathtaking free-form pool and enjoy the hot tub as it spills over creating a soothing tropical retreat. A perfect place for collecting sunshine or just lazing the day away. Beautiful tropical foliage will surround you in this island oasis.
This property will sleep 4 guests, with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Emma’s Secret features a queen bed along with a set of bunks for a dreamy night's rest and a fabulous full kitchen to whip up our favorite island fare or just a margarita.
These properties are available on a monthly basis only but that’s OK, pack your bags, and bring a little extra because you might just not want to leave.
Key West is the place to visit the lively nightlife and relax in the historic charm, flamboyance, and conch-style architecture that early Bahamian settlers made famous. It embodies a clash of the past and the present, and every building (including this rental) in Key West reflects this eclectic ambiance!

Nicely appointed apartment!
Unfortunate that he patio furniture was removed from site after a few days, so disappointed I had no lounge chair to use after the first week.
Few blocks from Duval and beach! Neighborhood was quiet! Hot tub and pool were nice!
