About this property
Escape to the wonderful Cuban Paradise!
Built in 1917 as a “club” for Cuban cigar makers and their families as their home-away-from-home, this building soon became the center of social and community life for the Cuban population in Key West. After the original Cuban Club burned down in 1983, it was restored and converted to luxurious and spacious suites.
Escape the stress and cares of your daily life with a vacation to the wonderful Cuban Paradise! This roomy two-bedroom condo has a private balcony to enjoy all the hustle and energy of the famous Duval Street. The primary bedroom sits in a loft overlooking the living room, and it features a four-post queen-sized bed, two nightstands with reading lamps, an alarm clock, private ensuite bathroom, large closet, and a small electronic safe. Located downstairs is another bedroom with a queen-sized bed, private ensuite bathroom, a nightstand with reading lamp, large closet, and a flat-screen TV.
The expansive living room features two plush sofas (one of which folds into a sleeper sofa), a coffee table, glass kitchen table with six comfy chairs, and a flat-screen TV. If cooking is your passion, then you’ll love the fully-stocked kitchen, which includes a full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, coffee maker, toaster, and microwave.
You’ll want to take pictures at the Southernmost Point in the continental United States (only 3.5 blocks away), and fulfill all of your shopping desires at the dozens, if not hundreds, of shops and stores distributed along Duval Street and the adjoining streets.
One block away is Banana Cafe, a fantastic French restaurant for breakfast with crepes, baguettes, and croissants. The sandy shores of South Beach are just three blocks away, with the Southernmost Cafe right there for lunch. The best sushi in town is served at Origami, also located one block away. It’s all there for you, so come and enjoy!

Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed our location and found the home spotless. Cleanliness and a great guest experience are our top priorities. We hope to see you again soon!
Place was very clean, beds were super comfortable. Did not love the loft style room due to privacy and Duvall can be loud at night (although it isn’t at the very busy end of Duvall). Although it’s very large. The second bedroom is very small but bed is comfortable. Communication was very good.

Thank you for the review! We’re so glad you found the home spotless and the beds super comfortable, we know how important a good night’s sleep is! We appreciate your feedback on the layout; our historic loft-style setup is part of the building's unique character, though we understand it offers a more 'open' feel than a traditional walled bedroom. It's great to hear that being on the quieter end of Duval allowed for a better experience, and we’re happy our communication met your expectations. We’d love to host you again!
Thank you so much! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and found the property beautiful.
There is no higher compliment than a guest saying they 'will be back, that truly makes our day! We take a lot of pride in keeping our Old Town Retreat a pristine, private sanctuary for our guests, and we’re so glad it hit the mark for you.
Safe travels until next time!
The condo was spotless! Setting on the porch overlooking Duval was very nice. The location was within walking distance to everything! Having a parking place was an extra bonus! We will definitely try to stay here again!

Nice place and it's a great location. You can pretty much walk anywhere. Everything was provided that we needed. Beds were comfortable. We would stay here again.
