Charming Key west cottage

We took a week break from midwestern winter at the Potters Cottage in Key West, and had a lovely, relaxing time. The cottage is just as pictured, lots of thoughtful amenities. We’d love to return.

Potters Cottage

Historic Key West Vacation Rentals management company is a 10 out of 10 company to work with. We will contact them again for our next trip to Key West. Potters Cottage was extremely clean, in a great location, nice outside space with plenty of different sitting areas that was around the pool, the cocktail pool was clean and warm, and the front porch was cozy.

Perfect KW stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Potter’s cottage is the perfect location if you want to experience all kinds of Key West attractions. Everything is walkable from this spot and it was also quiet at night for sleeping. The house was well equipped, clean and provided plenty of space for four adults. We enjoyed the backyard every day of our stay from coffee and breakfast in the morning to afternoon pool time and then late night card playing with cocktails. We had a great time!!

Perfect Key West Getaway

Great place for two couples in key west! Proximity to town and sites was prime. The house felt well maintained, clean and up to date. Communication with the rental property was so helpful and timely via text and email. We were here while Milton was approaching and the rental company made us feel well prepared, in the event things got worse. Would recommend for sure!

Excellent stay!

Even nicer than the photos, we absolutely loved our stay at the Potter’s Cottage. We loved the option to sit outside in a couple different seating areas. The little plunge pool was perfect to cool off and chill. We cooked a bit and found the kitch well appointed. We will definitely stay again!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Charming cottage-KW vibes! Cottage is in a great location-walkable to Southernmost, action on Duval, great restaurants and Higgs Beach.A quiet respite as well if you choose. Indoor decor was comfortable and well maintained-especially loved the cozy side library space. The pool was the perfect size with lots of sunny areas and cozy shaded seating-ceiling fans were a huge plus. Communication from management company throughout the booking and stay was fantastic. We will be back!
