Island Sunshine Bungalow

Historic and designer at once, this imaginative one-and-a-half-story shot-gun cottage is ideally situated in the Heart of Old Town Key West. Enchanting as can be, feng shui elements were also used in both the renovation and decorating, to achieve a calming and relaxing ambience- in every nook-n-cranny of this 900 square foot island retreat. Back-lit vaulted ceilings, streamlined décor, and spatial symmetry integrates each space, harmonizing the flow from one room to the next, making it feel much larger than it is.

Grounds: The porch exudes a welcoming charm, with a cozy bench on one side, perfect for relaxing with a morning coffee or catching up with a friend. On the other side, classic rocking chairs invite you to sit back, sway gently, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The balance of comfort and tradition gives the porch a timeless, inviting feel, ideal for lazy afternoons or quiet evenings.

Area: The center district of Old Town Key West is the “residential heart.” Historic streets are lined with more and more wooden Victorian homes and cottages built by early ship builders and men of wealth. Some were even built in the Bahamas and brought by boat to Key West. A hand full of side streets intersect with little lanes with names like Love Lane, Nassau Lane, Poorhouse Lane, and Catholic Lane – each a reflection of a more innocent yesteryear. Earnest Hemmingway lived in this neighborhood and his home is now a museum open to the public. There are a variety of historic houses of worship throughout the area, and in the “center of the heart” of Old Town Key West is the historic graveyard with the important USS Maine monument.
