Tropical ~ Tranquility

Few places exist where you can ride the fine line separating a secluded tranquil luxury villa, and the Heart of Old Town Key West. This vacation rental is a special slice of Key West you would never find on your own.

Grounds: From the moment you step inside the property gate you’ll feel as though you’ve entered “a world all your own.” First the meandering brick path, lined with mature tropical landscaping, comes to view and leads through an impressive manicured garden. Visuals become simultaneously dramatic and tranquil with the spacious free-form black bottom pool that possesses the prettiest elements of a peaceful natural lagoon. Next you are treated to the serene sound of a trickling waterfall that gently spills to the pool. At this point the stresses of everyday life seem to gently float away and you know you’re in your own little piece of paradise. off-street parking for two cars.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms: The master bedroom, located at the far left of the villa (as you face it) it is situated to offer maximum privacy and now stands with a vaulted cathedral ceiling, wood flooring, a spacious en-suite master bathroom, and double French doors leading to a charming private deck and garden ideal for sipping morning coffee and evening champagne. Furnishings are soft and appointed with a king size bed.

A light-filled hallway off the master bedroom serves as a wing connecting three of the bedrooms to the rest of the villa. Bedrooms and full bathroom are on one side of the hall and the laundry center on the other.

Moving up the hall, the next room is the second bedroom which is filled with window light and a view of the pool garden. This room offers pretty tropical bamboo furnishings, original wall art work, and a queen size bed. Just past this room up the hall is a full bathroom that is conveniently situated between the second and third bedrooms and serves as their shared bath.

The next room up the hall is bedroom number three. Furnished and appointed in a similar pretty decor as the second bedroom, this room offers two twin beds (which can be pushed together to make a king size bed). This light filled room also offers beautiful pool garden views. As you continue up the hallway you find a conveniently located half-bath just to your left.

Kitchen / Dining / Living Room: Light pickled wood walls, white counter tops, open kitchen shelving, and vaulted ceilings with elegant lighting make a beautiful statement. Situated at the center of the home this kitchen really is the hub of the house and the natural place to gather. A wide center cook’s island with a gas cook top is placed on the side of the island closest to kitchen sink. Bar stools are set on the other side of the cook’s island so friends and family can chat with the cook during meal preparation. A round dining table is set in a pavilion style loggia that is joined to the garden with more French doors so as to facilitate the pleasure of indoor-outdoor dining to the maximum. Like the kitchen this beautiful dining area has dramatic vaulted ceilings. The unique round marble top dining table is a unique piece the owner purchased in Bali.

At this point in the villa, both the indoor cooking center and pavilion dining area intersect with the expansive and elegant living room / music room. Graceful furnishings are a European and sophisticated Caribbean blend and are thoughtfully placed to invite guests to lounge and visit, curl up with a good read, sit and play the piano, or watch TV. Light wood floors, vaulted ceilings, and multiple windows invite in the light and French doors open up to the pool garden. An expansive covered wooden porch is trimmed with capital-topped porch posts and appointed with stylized recessed ceiling lighting. Teak chairs and a porch swing entice everyone to sit outside and take in the pool garden ambience.

Private Guest Cottage: As we complete our tour of this phenomenal villa we finally arrive to the private free-standing Caribbean design guest cottage. This building is situated just within a few feet of the living room, close but completely separate. This cottage serves as the fourth bedroom to the villa. It has a king size bed. The front entrance to the private guest cottage is turned to face the brick courtyard so the lagoon pool is always in view and just steps away. Ceilings are vaulted up to meet the hip-roof line to optimize air flow. When the French doors are opened the tropical breezes easily flow through to maximize open-air island living. Consistent with the rest of the home the beautiful furnishings for this free-standing cottage are soft, elegant, and sophisticated and the walls are decorated with original art work. A private spacious en-suite bathroom is set to the left side of the cottage.

Furniture and wall colors are soft and neutral to enhance the tranquil feel of the home; most of the color is provided from bright tropical flowers in the garden.
