Hemingway's Neighbor: Hot Tub, Sundeck, Old Town

Summary:

Half a block from Duval Street with a private hot tub, rooftop sundeck, and outdoor shower — this historic Old Town conch cottage is where Key West actually happens. Sleep 6 across a king suite, a queen bedroom, and a queen sleeper, then walk to Hemingway Home, the Lighthouse, sunset at Mallory Square, and the best bars and seafood on the island. Pet-friendly, one parking spot included, and a classic Conch porch made for people-watching.

The entire home and all outdoor spaces — hot tub, sundeck, porch, and outdoor shower — are yours for the stay.



The Neighborhood:

This is Old Town proper. Turn the corner and you're on Duval — sunset sails, mojito bars, seafood shacks, live music, and boutique shopping all within a few minutes on foot. You're quite literally Hemingway's neighbor, and the lighthouse is closer than most people's mailbox. Quiet enough to sleep, close enough to walk home barefoot. This is the Key West people picture when they book the trip.

Leave the car in the driveway. Walk, bike, scooter, or Uber — nearly everything worth seeing is within a mile. Bike and scooter rentals are a short stroll away.

Quiet, Downtown Experience

Loved the location of this property- right off of Duval and all of the Key West action, but quiet so you can enjoy the back patio and hot tub is peace. Would absolutely stay here again in the future!

Weekend getaway

The property smelled so clean when we arrived. The place was furnished with everything you could need. It’s just a small walk to Duvall where all the food and shopping is.

The property is centrally located to everything you could possibly want to experience in Key West. Steps to Duvall St, take a short walk to get to food, drinks and night life. One block away from CVS if you forgot anything. There are multiple rental options for golf carts and scooters to zip around (recommend booking that in advance) . Airport is about 3 miles away. We enjoyed the town, and relaxed on the tranquil back deck and soaked in the private hot tub. Great vacation property, we would definitely stay here again if it was available.

In the heart of it all

Host Corey’s home is in a great location for walking to many different points of interest. The Hemingway Home, Duval Street, and the historic Lighthouse are literally right around the corner. The house is clean and has everything you need for a great stay. This was my first trip to Key West and I plan to come back again and again and will definitely stay at Corey’s Crawl to Duval. Thanks!

Fabulous location! Little Bahama oasis!

1st time to Key West and hopefully won't be my last. Stayed at this darling home with my two adult children. We were able to have together time and our own separate areas to rest as well. Old Town has so much history and it is literally just outside your door! You can see the top of the lighthouse from the sun deck upstairs. Nice to have laundry on site. You are right off Hwy 1 and Truman so there will be traffic noise. Didn't bother my son who stayed in the living room.

Great short stay!

Great overall stay! We were only there three nights as we had to get back to work. The location was outstanding. Most important stuff was very walkable! We arrived from Miami Airport with a van, and their off street parking was invaluable! We were celebrating the visitation of my last 63rd National Park! Worked out great! Three of us have celiac condition and found a bunch of gluten free options, especially Moondog Cafe which is around the corner. We did have one issue about getting the TV to signin. They owners sent someone over within 30 minutes to fix it. All in all - great place, great hosts and we had great weather!! My highest recommendation!!

Historical Home great location but needs a little TLC

We appreciated the location of this home very much during our 4 night stay as we couldeasily walk anywhere we wanted to go. We paid top dollar for this place during Mile 0 Festival but felt it needed some TLC to match the price tag. The bathroom window came out into my hands upon opening it, the window coverings are very beat up or nonexistent on sliding doors. Ceiling fans in rooms are very loud too. The kitchen drawer with all the silverware isn’t attached to a track and falls out completely if you open it. And the bedrooms smell very strongly of mildew. The furnishings also fall short as well…head boards not even attached to the beds so they rattle around when you move in bed. We understand this is a very old home but really think the owners could make improvements to meet guests expectations when charging very high nightly rate. On the plus side the spa was warm and clean, the mattresses were comfortable and the house was clean. The local manager was also sweet as sugar when responding to an issue we had during the stay
