Experience true tropical Key West living as the locals do in this spacious mid-century private garden oasis home with large swimming pool and trickling waterfall. Located just one block from the beach, Private Pool Garden Villa vacation rental is at once exotic and comfortable. The colorful interior walls with French doors and windows throughout the house become picture frames anchoring the lush tropical garden that surrounds the property.
Authentic tropical style is what this corner lot property offers. A variety of lush foliage peaks over the high lattice topped fence. Bright red blooming bougainvillea vines drape the trellis entrance and then a bricked pathway inside the gate winds its way through the garden and leads to the front door. A variety of mature palm trees provide a rich calm feeling. Beautiful landscape lighting creates an enchanted feeling at night.
Inside the Private Pool Garden home, the spacious open living room/kitchen floor plan, is made to feel even larger with expansive octagonal ceilings and brightly colored walls. An extensive renovation of this mid-century ranch style house was completed in the 1970's to create the beautiful pool, cabana, lush garden, and spacious open living room kitchen floor plan. Now considered "vintage modern" the authentic 70's design is complete with a white painted brick fire place and Baby Grand piano. French doors open to the focal point of this unique home that is most definitely the large swimming pool, pool cabana room and extensive garden.
The floor plan of this home is traditional with all three bedrooms located off the hall that leads from the main living area. This home provides two master bedrooms, each with a king size bed and en-suite bathroom. A unique added feature is a bricked courtyard with a Zen-like pond outside the key-lime green master bedroom and little intriguing garden space for relaxation.
The third (spare) bedroom, also off the hall, is cozy. Painted a refreshing spring green color it also has a tropical forest view of garden. Bedding is a trundle bed that offers one or two twins. The half bath (i.e. sink and commode) are directly across the hall from the third bedroom.
Note: During the months of June through November this property may also be rented with a private studio cottage that is next door to this home. If you are interested in this option, please visit our web page for this option - Lazy Iguana
