About this cottage rental

Our sweet ‘conch’ cottage in old town Key West has been completely redesigned and custom crafted by 2 architects as our home away from home and we offer it as a MONTHLY rental when we aren’t using it ourselves. It is located in a wonderfully private yet centrally located neighborhood on a hidden lane. as our home away from home. This intimate house boasts many fun and thoughtful features which will help make your stay in Key West special. It has a lovely small freeform heated pool (with a salt water system that feels like natural water and a built-in bench), and a relaxing patio in a private backyard - complete with outdoor eating area and a wonderful outdoor shower (with hot and cold water!). Swim, eat, and watch butterflies and birds under the palms....

This is a classic compact 'Conch' house, typical of old Key West. This house is in a truly quiet, residential neighborhood just a few short blocks to Duval Street, the boisterous hub of town. Although on the cozy side, we designed it to be light and airy and is decorated with lovely modern furnishings, wireless broadband internet service (reaches the pool area as well), living/dining/kitchen area and it even has a second comfortable living room complete with a smart TV. Both downstairs bedrooms also feature flat panel smart TVs.

The house is perfect for your retreat both inside and out. Inside it's cool with tile floors, central air, cathedral ceilings, a full, modern kitchen, 2 bedrooms plus a comfortable carpeted loft with 2 twin beds in one room and a double futon in the other (accessed via a steep stair). We also have 2 lovely tiled bathrooms - one with a creatively tiled tub/shower and the other with a tumbled marble tiled shower. All beds are comfortable with new mattresses! Our home is strictly non-smoking.

We have provided everything you’ll need to make you feel right at home including a small collection of books, a fully stocked kitchen, a gas grille (with gas provided) and cooling ceiling fans in every room. Call us for current availability and rates for your stay. We are open to accepting pets and have a separate pet fee (if pets accepted) with an additional mid-monthly cleaning required.

All you need to bring to this lovely island is your bathing suit, a pair of shorts and flip flops and come enjoy the beauty and diversity that Key West has to offer!

Here's a quick To Do list I sent to someone recently: 'So much to do here! Taking a sand bar trip out to the reef (about 5 miles out) is great - can combine it with sunset, parasailing is awesome, best beach for swimming/snorkeling is Ft. Zachary Taylor - not perfect sand (lots of coral) but lovely place with beach chairs for hire too, great dining all over - definitely try our local fine dining restaurant Lola’s for a splurge (2 seatings per night- call for reservations), we also love El Siboney - a locals Cuban place, really tasty croissants at Moondog Cafe, great place for cafe con leche/breakfast is 5 Brothers on Southard/Grinnell, La Te Da has fabulous high class drag shows and dinner, rent bikes from Eaton St bikes (they’ll deliver and pick up) or rent a scooter or golf cart for the day. That's for starters. Don't need to bring many clothes or fancy shoes - very casual and carribean. Flip flops work well here day and night!
p.s. At the house we've left a couple of binders stuffed with menus and things-to-do and places-to-go while you're in town. We hope you find Key West as enchanting as we do!

    We LOVED o.ur stay at Casa Dulce! The pool is heated so you can swim at night. Completely redone on the inside, with a great kitchen. Netflix and Prime are both included, and there are 3 big screen TVs. It's on a super quiet lane, a minute or two by bike to Duval St and Mallory Dock for sunset. We plan on renting again for our next month stay in Key West, our favorite town in America!

    This is a wonderful place to stay when visiting Key West, whether for a weekend, a week or a month. Irene and Soren are great hosts. They can give you all sorts of guidance on how to explore the many facets of this intriguing island, if you want it. The interior of the house is both beautiful and comfortable. There are comfy spaces for two or three people to chat privately, as well as a spacious dining and living area. There is beautiful tiling throughout the house which adds special colorful touches to each room. The pool is right out the back door, inviting you to take a plunge. Stay here once and you'll want to return as often as you can.

    Dream home in Key West!
    Dream home in Key West!
    Wow! This home far exceeded our expectations! The home was perfectly laid out and felt way bigger than 1000 sq ft. It was our own private oasis in Key West. The house had everything we could possibly need. We enjoyed cooking in the spacious kitchen and we loved hanging out in the living space right on the kitchen. The rain shower in the master bathroom is so amazing that I told my husband we need to redo our bathroom at home just like it. It was very hot while we were there so we used the pool all the time! You can tell the owners really love their home and want others to do the same. Any contact with the owners was extremely pleasant and they were so very helpful! We were lucky to stay for a whole month because I was on maternity leave. Staying at this home was a fabulous way to introduce our baby boy to the keys! The only thing I wish is for this house to be available for weekly rentals so we can stay every time we come to Key West! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

    Irene and Soren's home is close to everything. Great shopping and restaurants are just a short walk away. The house is a gem. Beautifully appointed, and very comfortable. We loved sitting in the backyard by the pool. It is so quiet and peaceful. We will definitely be back!

    This home is the perfect home away from home! The comfort and consideration to detail was exquisite and allowed for the diversity of our group! I had a boys vacation with my 11 and my 23 year old sons and reflective of our divergent interests there was plenty of space for each of us. Situated right in key wests heart we could walk or bike to everything! It was a fantastic vacation!

    Our family of four, including two teens, loved staying in this home. Quaint and full of beautiful little touches, including a fantastic shower in the master bath, this is a relaxing spot to enjoy Key West. The house has a lovely dipping pool in the back and a nice kitchen, should you want to cook. We ate out most of the time given all the great options so close by. This is really an ideal location, quite and lovely neighborhood with beautiful homes, yet walking distance to restaurants and entertainment. The home also has four bikes available which we used to go everywhere including daily beach trips. Looking forward to another trip to Key West and hope to stay here again.

    Great Location in Key West! Have Recommended to Friends!
    Great Location in Key West! Have Recommended to Friends!
    Location! Location! Location! This updated historic "Conch" house is conveniently located within walking distance of Duval as well as the Seaport area. The beach is only a bike ride away. It is located in a quiet residential area. When returning back from a day of activity it is so nice to return and enjoy a drink and/or grilling by the pool in their private backyard. In the mornings we enjoyed having coffee on the porch. Once settled in, we walked and biked everywhere. Did not need our car at all. The house is cozy and feels like home as soon as you walk in. Appointed with all the amenities you could want. There are two bedrooms and a great little loft area. A big plus is having two bathrooms as many homes seem to only have one and a half in this area. We have stayed here twice and have recommended to friends that have also stayed at this wonderful property. The owners were wonderful to work with as well as their property managers.
