Key West Walk To Beach 5 Bedroom Plus Cottage Vacation Home

This stunning renovated home seamlessly blends indoor luxury and style with outdoor natural beauty. Most of the rooms have a french door and enjoy a spacious living room with soaring ceilings and custom oversized windows. Refusing to be limited by stultifying design, original glassed-in porches became alternative sleeping spaces, while the adjoining carriage house became a whimsical seashell cottage.

The owners of this home are continuously upgrading and expanding the home to ensure their guest's comfort. The home has been reconfigured to offer three separate areas. The ground level, at the front of the house, features a spacious living room, with cathedral ceilings and connecting fully equipped kitchen. Here we also find two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The 1st bedroom offers a king-size bed and the 2nd bedroom a queen-size bed. French doors open to the porch in both of these bedrooms. Accessed through bedroom two with a doorway for privacy, is a sleeping porch. Set with two twin beds, it adequately functions as a 3rd bedroom and is ideal for children sleeping close by.

A 4th and 5th bedroom, one full bathroom, a galley kitchen, and sitting room and are found on the 2nd floor, which is accessed via an exterior staircase. A split floor plan provides maximum privacy with a master bedroom with a glassed-in porch and king-size bed on one side of the house, and two twin beds with a window view to the pool on the opposite end.

Connected at the back of the house is the adorable 1.5 story 6th bedroom. Set in the artist owner's cute re-design of the carriage house, this is an intimate boho space that was once featured in Coastal Magazine. Exterior French doors connect with the garden in the back and front. With a sense of playfulness, stucco pastel faux painted walls inside form a colorful creamy backdrop for a flamboyant adornment of sea shells like icing on a cake. Open beam ceilings on the main level plus a kitchenette and a comfy sitting area set with shabby chic finds, make the cottage suite feel larger than it is. A bunk in the corner provides an extra sleeping space if you need it.

A short hallway stairwell leads to the half-story 2nd level sleeping space with a king-size bed and a one-of-a-kind. Definitely tropical and different than what we live with day-to-day, this space is an artists’ boho love nest. French doors off the back open to the garden to create a little private sitting space steps from the rest of the house.

Exterior Layout: This house is part of a private gated mini-compound set back from the street. Covered porches that run the entire length of the house maximize the opportunity for indoor-outdoor living. Step down off the porches to the large landscaped garden and just beyond enjoying a 40’ X 16’ swimming pool (no heat) and more gardens ample for lounging. Outdoor furniture is the place for lounging on the porches and around the pool. A little piece of old Key West, not too shiny, no-way modern sterile.

The swimming pool and middle part of the garden are shared with a recently updated 3 bedroom townhome on the opposite side of the compound. For a larger group, please inquire about renting our Family Reunion compound property, which includes this townhome called, A Tropical Tradition.
