I must confess, there’s something about walking along an exotic tropical pool-garden path that sends me to a state of calm. Palm fronds gently dancing in the breeze, orchids hanging in the trees, manicured gardens, a large swimming pool set with comfortable lounge chairs. This is what you’ll find as you make your entrance to this beautiful Bahamian ‘eyebrow’ style home.
Eyebrow houses are a historic architectural style dating back to the late 1800’s, unique to Key West, with the upstairs windows partially covered by the sloped roof, making an ‘eyebrow’ effect to protect from the sun. One of the nicest features is a large front porch, which in our Dancing Palms Villa vacation rental, wraps around each side to provide private roomy deck spaces. As you approach this garden home, notice how the tall skinny palms and a gumbo limbo tree stand akin to the long white porch pillars. As they sway , it's lmost as if they are set to dance. As you step up on the porch, adirondack rocking chairs invite you to stop … and sit a spell.’
Nestled in the small exclusive gated Windward Park, this renovated home sits in the back with lots of privacy. It has the architectural allure of a historic design, with all the advantages of a modern interior layout and luxury amenities. The vintage style glass etched windows above the front door, prepare you for the touch of class you find inside. The front door leads directly into the spacious open-concept great-room. The living room on one side and the kitchen on the other. Multiple sets of traditional sash windows invite in the sunlight and assure a view of the garden from several angles.
Interior Layout: The great-room encompasses almost the entire 1st floor, with a white marble double-level counter top and breakfast bar subtly diving the spaces. The U-shaped galley kitchen commands a complete view of the living room, the perfect layout for cooking and entertaining or watching the 48” HD TV. The kitchen is nicely equipped, providing high-end appliances and nice serve ware. Beautiful white-washed bead-board cabinets give the kitchen a fashionable coastal style, which fits so naturally in the tropics.
When the home was renovated, the owners chose light wood plank flooring laid vertically, adding to the spacious feel of the room. A monotone color scheme of sand, cream, white, and bamboo create a sophisticated and relaxing feel. Top quality wood and bamboo furnishings are placed to compliment the room. The end result is a beautiful room that invites you to slow down, kick back and relax. For your convenience, a matching desk is placed to hold a laptop where you can comfortably catch up on email, but hopefully not work too much!
To complete the 1st floor, a hidden laundry closet and full bathroom, are set over to one corner near the kitchen. The same beautiful coastal style cabinets and marble counter top we see in the kitchen are carried to the bathroom. This is a full bathroom with tiled shower and a custom frameless glass door.
A traditional stair case in a far corner of the living room, leads to the 2nd floor. Since both bedrooms and the second full bathroom are upstairs, there’s plenty of separation between the common rooms and the sleeping area. Both bedrooms are stylishly decorated, keeping with the soft sand tone island colors established downstairs. Each bedroom provides a king size bed, with beautiful headboard, and dressed with very nice quality linens. A high end sisal wall-to-wall carpet is placed in both bedrooms. Two sash windows in each bedroom let in plenty of light, and provide a down-look view of the gardens below. Both bedrooms provide a TV.
You’ll appreciate the privacy provided by the split floor plan upstairs, with the bedrooms on either side of the house and the bathroom in between. The larger upstairs bathroom is fit with the same beautiful marble top vanity we find downstairs, plus a two-person shower with frameless glass shower doors. Designer fixtures and tumbled marble tiles carry through the luxurious tone.
It should be emphasized that this home is special and unique to this small gated compound. It is the only free-standing home amongst 12 townhomes in the community, and tucked away back in the corner for maximum privacy. Unlike the other properties, it does not share an interior wall with any other home. It also has one designated off-street parking space, a coveted commodity on the tiny island of Key West.
Finally, it is worth noting that the owners of this beautiful home enjoy it themselves, when they can take time from their own busy schedule. They are sticklers for maintaining the property in top shape and strive to assure its immaculate condition.
Notes: This is an upscale property is ideal for professionals and executives who have discerning tastes.

“What can I say. We had a fantastic time at the house. Everything was easy from the check in to leaving ( which we didn’t want to do) I would recommend BHKW to friends.
“Beautiful property with updates! Ceiling fans in every room to assist A/C and kept the condo perfectly cool. Very secure gated property with great pool in a quiet location. Lush gardens all around the property. Very clean inside and out and no sign of any insects. Well equipped kitchen too! TV in second bedroom did not work (no signal) but we did not use it anyway. We were close to almost everything and were able to walk to restaurants, bars, and beach as well as Mallory Square. Duval Street was only a block away. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!
“Loved it
“All was great. Washer was broken. :/. Note said it broke on 2/22 and was waiting for parts. We packed thinking we had a washer and dryer.
“Vhkw does a great job, we have used them before and will go with them again. They are very responsive to questions and requests and their properties are well maintained and lovely.
“Great rental. 3rd time we stayed at the same property.
“Great location in walking distance to everything in a quiet corner of a gated community!
“The home was wonderful and very quiet. Pool and pool area was great as well. Location was perfect for us. We would definitely stay here again and hope to do so soon!
“Great company to work with. Have been using VHKW for 4 years. This is the 4th different place we stayed at.
“Nicely appointed unit. Great adult family getaway location. Walk to everything. Owners easy to deal with. Would come back again!
“Didn’t have any Kleenex or dish clothes. Fan in bathrooms would be nice too. Downstairs bathroom needs to be cleaned behind the door.
“No problems
“Absolutely loved our stay at Dancing Palms! It was so relaxing and fun. The home was very comfortable and spacious for 2 couples. Making the arrangements was so easy and stress free also.
“Great location and amenities! We had such a great time here! Would recommend, very comfortable for 4 people.
“Great house in a great location. Convenient private parking in gated complex. Nice pool. House was clean and comfortable. This was our second stay at the property and we already booked a return visit.
“Awesome service. The apartment was great. Very clean and well looked after. The only thing that we would suggest be changed is a newer model TV in the living room to one with a much nicer and clearer picture like 4K or 8K smart TV that could be a little bigger too. Obviously we weren't there to watch TV but when we did it wasn't great. Didn't use the TVs in the bedrooms so no idea on them. The outside area was great. Saw the blower guys in every day, but noticed that the pool wasn't skimmed much. As it was a bit windy I understand that there can be a lot of stuff landing in the pool, but it did get more debris in it than should if being skimmed every day. Maybe supply larger pool/beach towels also. Other than those minor things we had a great time and would definitely stay there again on our next trip to Key West. Cheers!
“Wonderful pretty quiet place to stay with easy access to everything. Booking. Payment. Check in and out was easy. Very nice pool
“I absolutely LOVED the Dancing Palms property. I loved how it was set back from the pool, allowing me to be outside and easy access to the pool but not having to be a part of the action around the pool. My one criticism is the quality of the paper products. It only costs a little bit more to go first class . Toilet paper needs to be soft and TWO PLY! We left you with better paper towels too. It was just great overall: cute, good beds/laundry/showers, great WiFi!
“Wonderful visit! Comfy home, great location!
“The rental home and amenities were just as expected. Perfectly located to all the local attractions. The pool was a great place to relax and talk with others from the very secure complex of homes. Would highly recommend to others
“Quick response, informative and easy to deal with. Thank you
“Everything was wonderful, house was tip top & so easy to check in & out Thank y'all so much
“We had a great week! Dancing Palms is in a perfect location for easy walking access to Duval Street, Southernmost Point, Hemingway House, etc. We only used the car for a day in Marathon Key. The home was beautiful and nicely appointed. We would recommend more lighting in the dining area. We had a hard time seeing at night when playing games. Also having a light switch inside the upstairs bath vs in the hall, would be helpful. The home was very private since it was tucked away and quiet (except for the roosters). :) We have already recommended it to friends. Thanks for a great time. .
“We booked Dancing Palms Villa for our family vacation at Christmas this year. The property was clean and as advertised. The check in process and information provided was easy and no-hassle. We enjoyed the privacy and comfortable accomodations and would recommend this again to all of our friends.
“Condo was lovely and the location perfect. A little surprised that 1 full bath was on 1st floor and 2 bedrooms and 1 bath was upstairs. We didn't have any little kids with us. But there is no bath tub, just showers. Altogether a great experience. Was our 1st time in Key West. We would definitely rent here again.
“The house was wonderful! Great location!
“Great experience with VHKW! Appreciated Paige working with me and the property owner to extend our stay due to the possibility of inclement weather. Property was as described, with the exception of the chairs pictured on the porch in the listing, which was a little bit of a disappointment. Would definitely work with VHKW again!
“A great place to stay! We had so much fun!Close to everything.
