Tropical charm and southern comfort combine for a memorable getaway at this three-bedroom, three-bathroom Key West vacation rental. Perfect for a fun family vacation or a romantic sojourn with a partner, this home welcomes up to six guests and offers a shared pool and a fitness gym. Located on Stock Island, between the islands of Key West to the south and Boca Chica Key to the north, this home is a quick drive to great beaches, eclectic shopping, and fresh seafood dining. Spend the day browsing the art galleries, clothing boutiques, and bodegas along Key West’s world-famous Duval Street (just four-and-a-half miles south), then head over to Smathers Beach (a favorite beach among locals) to catch some rays, Stock Island Village Marina to hop aboard a fishing charter.
Everything about this home exudes southern gentility. From its lime green exterior to its floral print couches, sturdy wicker furniture, intimate back porch, and lush backyard, the home has an elegance that’s connected to both time and place. Head up a staircase and over the large front porch to the interior, which boasts a beachy décor, beautiful wood floors, picture windows, and framed art. Settle into the comfy wicker couches in the living room to watch a DVD or your favorite cable TV series on the 27-inch high-definition television, or open your laptop and use the WiFi to plan your Key West adventures. There’s also a stereo, so pop in a Jimmy Buffet CD and kick back with some good Caribbean rock.
When it comes time to eat, use the kitchen’s modern appliances to make fresh fish tacos or other seafood from the local waters. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you’ll need to whip up a fantastic feast. Share meals with your group at the four-seat dining table that sits adjacent to the kitchen or dine al fresco on the back porch, accessible via French doors. With wicker sets on the balconies, you could even dine on them for a more private outdoor dining experience. After a long day of exploring the local scene, lounging poolside at the community pool, or even pumping some iron in the shared fitness gym, retire home to get restful sleep in any of the home’s three bedrooms. Up to six guests are accommodated on queen beds in two rooms and a set of twin beds in a third room. Each room has an attached full bath.
With ornate reading lamps and beautiful oak and wicker furniture, the bedrooms are peaceful places in which to get plenty of great rest. Please do note, however, that there is the occasional morning crow from roosters that roam around the island. The legacy of Ernest Hemingway, who once lived in Key West, is on display at the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum just four-and-a-half miles south, and a tour of the home is a great way to spend an afternoon. There are also several beaches, each with its own flair, on Key West, so make the short drive south for great beach-combing, sandcastle building (if you brought kids along), and suntanning on the sandy south shores of the island.
