About this property

Please Note: Key West Oasis is NOT suitable for families with young children, as the 2nd bedroom is not attached to the main house - it is in a back cottage, separated by a pool. On the other hand, this is the perfect layout for two couples or families with older children, as this setup offers much more privacy.

Key West Oasis is a private two bedroom/two bath rental house ideally located in Charming Old Town, Key West, Florida, close to Duval street, great restaurants, bars and the beach.

This 1906 'cigar maker's cottage' has been newly renovated into a stylish Key West retreat. The house features an open floor plan with original Dade County pine walls and ceilings. The main house has hard wood flooring throughout and houses the master suite, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen and the living and dining area. Inside the house are all the comforts of home, with every room providing its own unique feel.

Three sets of French doors lead from the living and dining area onto your own private lanai and pool area. Bask in the sun and listen to the tranquil sounds of falling water, which is the backdrop of the heated pool. Tropical plants and flowers are abundant and offer complete privacy for guests. The back gardens and pool area were designed to create a calming effect, which pervades the mind, body and spirit.

The detached cottage offers a 2nd bedroom and bath with a private open-air shower – what better way to enjoy your morning shower than amidst flowering bougainvillea trees! The cottage also features 20 ft vaulted ceilings and two sets of French doors which open to the garden and pool area. Guests tell us they love having the detached cottage, as it offers couples traveling together much more privacy.

Key West Oasis is located in the historic Old Town district, close to restaurants, bars, Duval Street etc. To give you an idea of what is located around the house, check out the distance to the following:

Amazing Vacation Accommodations and Host!

Everything about this vacation rental and our host/owner (Kim) was stellar. Kim was very prompt at responding to questions and providing suggestions to make our trip as enjoyable as possible. She really went above and beyond to assure we would have a vacation to remember!!! The location was within walking distance to the majority of the highlights we wished to visit and to the downtown Duval Street area. Upon arrival we were promptly greeted and given a tour of the home. It was an absolute pleasure staying in this quaint 'oasis' while visiting Key West.The main house and cottage were immaculate when we arrived and although we had one slight maintenance issue during our stay it was addressed immediately and we were not inconvenienced in the least. I would highly recommend staying here and we would not hesitate to book again in the future when visiting Key West.

Wonderful and Relaxing

The property is exactly as described and as illustrated by online photos. All the other online reviews confirm that this place is simply wonderful, clean and perfect for couples. We spent most of our time enjoying the secluded pool and patio. The owner was accommodating and responsive. The property manager was prompt and a pleasure to meet with upon our arrival. Our stay was relaxing and everything we hoped for. We would absolutely consider staying at KWO again in the future.

Happy family get away

My husband and I joined our son (US Navy) and daughter-in-law for a workweek get away. Arrived on Monday afternoon and departed Saturday morning. Everything was cozy and comfortable. Cooking was easy and lots of room to rest, play cards, enjoy sips by the pool and just relax. Nice place to spend family time with each couple having their own private space. Would do again, but a different time of year.
