Imagine the quintessential Caribbean island village, its cottages nestled hand-in-hand on charming historic pedestrian streets. As people stroll by, sun kissed from an afternoon of beaching and sight seeing, they'll say hi to one another even if they've never met. This is your neighborhood during your stay at the Caribbean Cottage vacation rental. One of the best vacation rental locations on the island - without a doubt. Around the corner "Grand Vin" wine bar stands ready for an evening wine tasting session while "Flamingo Crossing" ice cream parlor offers up a new flavor of home made glace.
Brimming with genuine island charm, our Caribbean Cottage, with private pool, was originally built in the early 1900’s. Artistically renovated to maintain the original wood planked polished floors and vintage hand-hewed beams, the owners added bright blue tile (accented with marble), and Bahama style wooden window shutters tat compliment the historic interior. Original pine walls were painted with elegant historic colors of olive and cream and adorned the sash style windows and French linen curtains. Reserved for owner's use only for many years, original artwork from their private collection is displayed throughout for you to enjoy.
The living room is a generous cottage size with plenty of room to gather. On the side closest to the kitchen, a dining table is placed to create a roomy eating area. The adjoining "butler-pantry" style kitchen is spacious, has a charming French-Caribbean style ambiance, and is fully equipped and easy to cook in.
The interior lay-out of this cottage maximizes privacy with the bedrooms and bathrooms on one side and common living areas on the other. The cottage has two full bedrooms and two full bathrooms.
Bedding in this vintage cottage includes a king size bed in the master bedroom, and a queen size bed in the other. The master bedroom boasts a beautiful rich wooden armoire, and French doors lead from the bedroom to a pretty outdoor sitting area for reading and lounging. For extra sleeping, the living room has a comfortable queen sleeper sofa.
From the outside front, the cottage has charming curb appeal with a large beautiful Royal Poinciana tree and the Key West quintessential white picket fence, and of course the porch to sit and watch the world go by. The general design and layout of the cottage lends itself perfectly for versatile use. It is ideal for up to four, and can sleep up to five people comfortably.
If you are looking for a truly authentic Key West experience, this cottage could be the perfect one for you. This charming property is located in the Upper-Duval Street historic neighborhood - a special section of Key West offering many up-scale attractions and interesting features including excellent gourmet restaurants, art galleries, boutiques, a high-end wine tasting store, an award winning home made ice cream shop, a coffee and tea house, South Beach around the corner, and .just a short walk to down to Mallory Square.

“Great house! I would just recommend replacing the folding doors in the bathrooms with something a little more private.
“Easy to make arrangements for the rental. Check in was a breeze. Check out was a bit of a rush with an agency rep standing on the porch, but she was pleasant enough as we rushed to get out.
“Nice cottage in a perfect location, love the porch and everything you need in the kitchen and otherwise m..
“Great house and overall trip.
“We had a lovely stay on a perfect location for seeing Key West on foot. The home was charming and very comfortable. Having the private backyard/patio/pool area was a plus. We had one need to contact VHKW and the issue was resolved very quickly by maintenance. We did hear some road and traffic noise but it was expected (this was not our first trip to Key West). Thank you for the amazing house!
“This cottage had everything my husband and I needed. The pool was just the right size for cooling off. We liked the location nearer the southern end. The only negative was the size of the shower in the second bathroom. Very tiny, even for a small woman like myself. Loved having the lockbox for the key. Saved us time not having to check in or out of the office. Had enough starter supplies.
“The property was just as advertised. I would suggest you let renters know that all doors within the house are lovered doors and that includes bedrooms and bathrooms. That was an interesting surprise for us.
“Excellent location. Perfect cottage. Comfortable, very clean. Had every amenity we needed to cook, grill, swim and relax. This will be our go to rental moving forward. The one car parking driveway was a huge plus. Parking in Key West can be extremely difficult and expensive. Pulled in one time, never moved it again till we left a week later. We rented a golf cart for the week. Next time will bring our bikes or opt for scooter. As you can park them anywhere for free. We loved it
“Kayla & Kendra were extremely helpful, made our entire stay worry free
“Great house, good service. I have rented from VHKW many times and will continue to rent from them.
“Perfect in every way!
“Wonderful cottage home. Close to everything. Decorated so homey. Very clean & comfortable bedding. Love the private pool & patio. This home had everything you would need. I want to definitely rent again. ?
“Loved my stay, 8/10 recommended, no stock on toiletries tho
“Our second stay in the Carribean Cottage. We love the cottage and Vacation Homes of Key West was great to work with. We will definitely stay with them again
“It was a great place to stay, and loved the pool.
“House and pool was great! Convenient location and easy parking with a golf cart. Only comment is need a TV in the master bedroom!
“Wonderful place to stay in an incredible location! My only silly complaint is that the tv is way too far away from the couch in the living room and the remote didn’t work or the internet. Would definitely stay here again!
“We had a great vacation. Booking was easy. House was perfect, great location, clean and pool was a great added bonus. Will definitely book through your site again!
“Everything was great and easy - wish we were still there though.
“This was such a lovely place to stay. Easy walking distance to everything but on the quiet end of Duval St. The house had everything we needed and the pool made the stay even better. There was a TV with access to the internet so we could stream a movie one night when it was raining, and we were able to watch a preseason football game also. The beds were comfortable and it was very quiet at night. We would definitely stay there again. In fact, I wish we were there right now. VHKW was very easy to work with and we didn’t have any problems with our stay at all.
“We loved the location of the cottage and the space was perfect. Our favorite amenity was the plunge pool. After a hot day walking around the island it was nice to cool off in the pool!
“The cottage was ideal for our vacation. Perfectly appointed, very clean and all in very good working order. We will definitely look to rent through you and likely this same accommodation again. Thank you for your easy and great service!
“The Caribbean cottage was perfect for two couples. Great location! We will be back!!Sent by: Teo (teo@vhkw.com) on 7-Jun-21 5:59 PM Opened Hi Lindsey, It's great to hear that the cottage was perfect for your group of two couples and you enjoyed the location. We'd love to have you back! VHKW TeamFrom: Lindsey Carsonon 15-Jun-21 7:20 PM What would I need to do to rent the same cottage next summer?Sent from my iPhone
“Enjoyed the home ver much. Love the vibe of Caribbean colors and vintage furniture. We had an enjoyable time. Only suggestion would be to chain across the driveway. We found a car parked there and had to call the police. After 30 minutes of frustration, it was determined that the home owner told a friend they could use the parking spot. She didn’t realize the home was rented.
“We had a fantastic stay!! The house was perfect the process leading up to the vacation was seamless! I would definitely use VHKW again
“Great experience. So easy and quick.
“Authentic Key West property! Gorgeous brick paver patio w/pool. Perfect four family of four and beds to spare in living room. Top notch location and proximity to the Rum Bar. Highly recommend.
“We loved calling the Caribbean Cottage our home-away-from-home for 12 days in November 2020. The house is small but quite comfortable and had everything we needed to make our holiday a good one. We especially liked the outside patio area and the heated pool. The house’s location can’t be beat. We were no more than a 5 to 10 minute cab ride from most of the sights we wanted to see. An extra benefit were the three restaurants - Italian, Japanese and seafood - just across the street from the house.
