Key West Oasis, Seperate Cottage, Very Private Pool and Back Yard

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:

The Bike Shop Rentals, Famous Sandy's Café, and Faustos Supermarket, 1 block

Great Property!

Key West Oasis was nothing short of perfect! We had one little maintenance hiccup on day one. But not to worry- It was taken care of IMMEDIATELY! The service and communication were spot on! the property was immaculately clean. The main area of Duval Street was about 8-9 blocks away. So very convenient. We would definately stay here again.

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.

Truly an oasis!

When planning our honeymoon we didn't want to stay at a hotel, so we looked on VRBO and found this rental and it was perfect!! It is in a very quiet location which we loved, but also very close to Duval! It's about a 5 minute or so Uber ride to Duval which was super convenient. We did walk there one of the days and it wasn't terrible, but can get very hot. We loved having our own private pool which is hidden away in the backyard with lots of plants and greenery. One down side was we did have to leave 2 days early due to hurricane Ian, however Kim did refund us for those missed days. If we go back we would absolutely stay here again! The perfect honeymoon spot and truly and oasis!

Absolutely PERFECT!!

It is most definitely an oasis. There were 4 us, 2 couples, and there was plenty of room. The main living quarters and the guest cottage are separated by the perfect pool. There are houses on both sides, but the beautiful landscaping in the pool area make you feel like you’re on a hidden island. Close enough to Duval to hang out there every night. The kitchen is very nice with newer appliances. I cannot say enough good things about this oasis. We hope to be back soon!!

Perfect Getaway

My boyfriend and I traveled to Key West week of June 11. Check in instructions were received prior to our departure and communication with Kim was great. Gary was also great and made himself available for anything we needed but did not interfere. The property was everything we needed and then some! Our plan was to cook during the trip but the property was located close to so many good places to eat we only cooked twice. We spent most of our time outdoors on the patio and in the pool as the backyard had total privacy and picturesque. This property offered one of the most relaxing vacations - we are already looking forward to booking there again soon.

Once in a lifetime trip

We had an incredible time! The private pool was outstanding. If you do not mind a short walk you are blocks away from Duval. We had on and off weather but access to our own private pool made the trip.

Key West Oasis Lives Up to Its Name!

We just had a fantastic vacation and loved every minute of KWO! The private pool was heated and used every day. The separation of the guest suite was perfect... mom and dad got a private space away from kids! There's a store just a short walk away. Duval is a slightly longer walk away, but we enjoyed walking off the big meals. We will definitely be back! Thanks Kim....!
