Havana Moon Over Duval ~ Weekly Rental

2BR 2BA ~ Weekly Rental
Sleeps 4



Open the front door of the hand crafted Havana Moon Key West cottage located on Upper Duval Street, step from the porch, and look south toward Havana Cuba and... Mmmm... You'll catch a view of the ocean where the full moon rises with a soft salt southern breeze. Originally built in the late 1800's as a cigar makers' cottage the authentic exterior of this turn-of-the-century cottage is protected by historic preservation rules and today stands renovated to form, to be proud and handsome. But the interior is an entirely different story. Inside the owners had creative license to redesign in order to bring the cottage upscale modern vacation standards with all the luxurious accoutrements. Ideally located right at the top of Upper Duval Street and just down from Key West's South Beach this historic residential cottage received a beautiful renovation and now offers 5-Star resort quality amenities.

Inside the Havana Moon cottage on Duval Street you find a complete transformation with a decidedly upscale minimalist renovation design and decorum that is understated and elegant. The designer for this cottage combined quiet modern and traditional furnishings with subtle colors and elegant artwork that sets a tone of calmness and relaxation. The original high ceilings create a spacious feel and newly added recessed lighting gives a dramatic flare as well as extra light. Stained pine wood floors have been completely refinished to show off the organic multi-patterned wood grain.

A big fan of classicism, the designer of the cottage kept the orderly fashion of the original interior structure that is characteristic of the historic "shotgun house," while transforming it into two luxurious bedroom suites. We begin our description of this cottage at the front entrance which steps you right into the hall room that heads straight away to the back door. Off this main common room, on the right side of the house, a symmetrical row of interior rooms proceed from the front of the cottage to the back.

The first door on your right leads to the front bedroom and beautiful en suite bathroom offering a vintage style "free standing" sink and a double-wide shower large enough for two. Brilliant white tile glistens from floor to ceiling. The front bedroom is elegant and luxurious and provides a queen size bed and a wall mounted flat screen TV. Tasteful furnishings, artistic light fixtures and elegant wall art evoke a tropical theme. 

The modern U-shaped kitchen, complete with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, grey granite counter tops, and dark tile flooring is the next room down the line. Recessed lighting and brilliant white cabinets brighten the kitchen and make it all the more inviting as a space to cook and entertain. The kitchen is open to the wide "sitting hall" which at this point becomes the interior gathering and common seating space for the cottage.

The last room down the hall at the back of the house is the back bedroom with en suite bathroom. For this bedroom the designer chose a dark wood wicker head board for the queen size bed and placed a collection of brightly colored Haitian Art paintings on the walls. As with the front bedroom it offers a wall mounted flat screen TV. The en suite bathroom for the back bedroom is very spacious and is handicap accessible. This is a unique feature for a private vacation home residence and is convenient for anyone traveling with some mobility issues, just keep in mind there are a few steps in the front where you enter the cottage

Finally, at the end of the hall, it's time to check out the fenced back yard. To meet modern luxury vacation standards, the original back yard was transformed to a nice size swimming pool and large concrete sun deck for pool side sunning. Back around the front of the cottage is the covered sitting porch. Pretty wicker furnishings have been placed for guests to sit and watch the world of Key West go by.

Each bedroom is a suite with its own en-suite luxury bath.

Easy reservation, easy check- in & simple departure

I love renting from VHKW. The house was great. Our flight was changed and we were going to be there much later, they helped us store our luggage so we didn’t have to walk through Key West with them. The house was so clean! I am looking at scheduling again next year

May 23, 2023,
Very nice place. Had everything we needed. Very clean. We liked the location too. Would like to do again.

Apr 10, 2023,
Location was amazing. Enjoyed the house immensely. Management responsive. Plan to rent both houses and bring more friends next time

Oct 24, 2022,
Kayla was amazing. We were very happy with our stay. House was clean & fully stocked, beds were very comfortable, cable TV was really nice. Pool was the #1 reason we picked this house. It was so nice & relaxing. Front porch is pure entertainment. Great location!!!!! Will definitely rent from KWVH again.

Great location! We stayed here for spring break with our 2 teenage boys. The pool area was really a great perk as was people watching on the front porch. Lots of great restaurant options within a few blocks of this home. This was our first visit to Key West and we were lucky to find this place! The only recommendations I have are upgrades to the sofa and mattresses - they are a bit tired. The outdoor sitting areas were fantastic! VHKW was super easy to rent through.

Staff was excellent House needs furniture updated

Second time staying with you and again a home run !!

Aug 07, 2021,
We had a wonderful time in our cottage, Havana Moon on Duval. The location was great. We were able to walk everywhere. The cottage was very clean, and the pool was a really nice feature that my family really enjoyed. Sherri with the Frontdesk email was so helpful and accommodating. We would love to stay there again and possibly rent the second cottage.

We enjoyed our stay. The home was immaculate and the private pool was great to relax in. I was surprised to see a strip club next door but it did not bother us. You couldn’t hear anything and the dancers did not flaunt themselves in the street. This property is located on the quieter end of Duval within walking distance to the Southernmost Point. I would stay here again if we come back to Key West.

Jun 10, 2021,
Awesome house! Great customer service! Everything from check in to check out was so quick and easy!

Mar 14, 2021,
Easy to work with and house met expectations except for the cheap toilet paper and scarcity of same.

Feb 26, 2021,
Great location! It was really nice to have the privacy of the pool in back, which we used almost every day. Unit was very clean and exactly as pictured. We didn’t use the kitchen much but it seemed well equipped and there is a gas grill out back too. The only negative I can come up with is the beds were a bit uncomfortable (too firm). Overall very enjoyable get away for 2 couples. Highly recommend and would definitely stay there again!

As I mentioned on VRBO in detail, the place was great. Everything was as presented in the listing. It was very clean. The private parking is in fact private which was a concern after reading a comment from someone else. Your service was very helpful. We appreciated that we were allowed to alter our dates due to the current health crisis. The laundry washer/dryer unit were quite nice. The BBQ is beyond repair and should be replaced as well as the kettle on the stove. Those were the only two issues that I’m sure will be addressed. We would definitely stay here again.

Jun 27, 2020,
Loved the house so much! The location is great. Yes, it’s next to a gentleman’s club but we did not see anything wrong with that — it made for great people watching. The pool is amazing!!! We will definitely stay here next tome we come down for sure!
