EXCELLENT LOCATION
The house is located in Old Town Key West at the corner of Thomas and Angela Streets - (2) blocks west of the center of Duval Street in one of the oldest sections of Key West; (4) blocks east of Fort Zachary Taylor State Park/Beach, the best beach and picnic area in Key West. The gated compound is within easy walking or biking distance to everything in Old Town Key West, Duval Street, and the best entertainment and dining on the island.

CHICKENS & ROOSTERS
The City of Key West protects chickens and roosters, and considers them as part of the history and charm of Key West. As a result, Key West and many of the islands throughout the Florida Keys have free-range chickens and roosters. You will definitely see and hear chickens and roosters during your stay in Key West. Some visitors to Key West love them, and some visitors hate them - personally, I enjoy them best roasted, with plantains, and black beans and rice!

CRITTERS
Also, please remember that you are in the tropics and most life forms typically thrive in the tropics. Please don' t be surprised or alarmed if you see a lizard, or an insect.

Wonderful host! Steven was on property to answer any concerns I had.

If you come to Key West to experience the real place, rather than just resort and boat life, this is a perfect spot. It's right at the heart of a really unique town, with everything in walking distance--great restaurants and bars, museums, beaches, historical points of interest. Cottages open to a private garden with pool, hot tub, lounge areas. Just keep in mind that the roosters are in charge here.

This little house is in a great location, one block from Blue Heaven, one block from the Hemingway House, two from Duval Street and two from the entrance to the Truman Annex. There are bikes there for you to use - the best way to see as much of Key West as possible.

We absolutely loved this VRBO. Never been to the Keys and we couldn't have asked for a better place. The location was fantastic along with the house itself. We parked our vehicle and never had to get into it again until we left. Restaurants, bars, shopping, site seeing were all outside are door. We will definitely be booking this place again. Thank you!!
