Boat House by AvantStay | Character Cottage | Central Location Month Long Stays

*Please note that this home is available for 28+ night stays only.*

Step into a tranquil community on a quiet lane and discover the Boat House, a nautically themed treasure in Old Town Key West.

For anyone with an affinity for the sea, everywhere you turn is a reminder of the water – from sailboat replicas of every shape and size; to prints of fish and sailor knots; to a mermaid toilet and a leaping dolphin faucet. This bohemian cottage features a master bedroom with a therapeutic king-sized bed, flat-screen TV, gleaming hardwood floors, and white-washed paneled walls. A spacious wheelchair-accessible bathroom comes complete with a walk-in shower and a separate tub with navy and white checked tiles.

The airy galley kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances and is ready for the chef at your party to prepare delicious meals. Sit and savor at the dining room as you overlook the soothing landscaped outdoor area or step into the bricked courtyard and contemplate life on a bench overlooking the tranquil lagoon pool. The Boat House has a large private covered deck, just perfect for enjoying an afternoon cocktail or a good book, overlooking a shared pool.

Spend some time relaxing and dream of days on the ocean at the Boat House, but remember you are within two blocks of the excitement of Duval Street with shops, bars, restaurants and art galleries all waiting to be explored!

Key West is the place to visit the lively nightlife and relax in the historic charm, flamboyance, and conch-style architecture that early Bahamian settlers made famous. It embodies a clash of the past and the present, and every building (including this rental) in Key West reflects this eclectic ambiance!

Need even more room for your group? The Boat House is just next door to the Midnight Cowboy compound, which includes the three spaces that can also be rented together: Monkey House (a 2BR space), the Main House (1 king bedroom) plus the Hibiscus Suite (studio-style space with a queen bed) at Tennessee Williams. All spaces share access to the central pool area.

AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips!

*Home Truths:*
- Please note that all bookings 28 days or longer will require a security deposit of $2000 which will be collected after the booking has been made. Multiple months reservations might be subject to a higher security deposit fee.
- Any reservations 28 days or longer will require additional clean/cleans to be scheduled. Additional payment will be collected and the amount of cleans will depend on the length of your stay.
- If you require more space, this listing is also available as part of a buyout called Midnight Cowboy which has a total of 4 bedrooms.
- There is also a 2-bedroom listing located on the same compound called Tennessee Williams. Please reach out to the team to enquire about availability.

- This home is on a monthly pest control schedule. The area of Key West is home to many insects such as termites, no-see-ums, and mosquitos. Pest control can not eliminate these insects during the swarming season. You may also encounter geckos, lizards, iguanas, frogs, and chickens during your stay in the area.
