Photos and Description of the Key West vacation house rental 2 BR, 1.25 BA, sleeps 4-6

In the heart of the Old Town Historic district of Bahama Village Key West, where life in the old days was very different than it is now, is my Conch home which has not really changed much except on the inside. It is private, fully furnished, very clean, comfortable and a well stocked home perfect for a very wonderful Key West experience. I have restored the house to keep it's history, so it has remained a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom with a 6 foot claw foot bathtub, pedestal sink, outside private shower, high cathedral ceilings, original hardwood floors, 5 foot sash windows, all Dade County pine, outside back deck for dining, front porch, washer and dryer and central air conditioning and heat. One bedroom has a queen bed, the other a double bed and the couch in the living room is a queen futon. There is a view of the lighthouse from the kitchen and the backyard is tropical and shaded for a long nap on the chaise or hammock.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Key West, Florida

Parking in front of my home is private and can fit 1 car and 1 moped. You will be so close to all the action, you do not need a car at all. Walking or biking is the way to see Key West like the locals do. Bicycle rentals are down the street. If you would like to use my bikes, there are 2 bikes to use in the yard( you will feel like a local)and a lock is in the basket to use. The key is by the front door.

I am looking for the longer term rentals since I do not want a lot of traffic through the house. I would like to retire there some day, so this is not just a business for me, it is my home. It is about 121 years old too, so she likes good company. We think she was once inhabited by a mermaid that a drunken sailor brought home one night long ago. She still remains in the house to look over her and protect her.

Other Activities: Wildlife Viewing, Boating
