Historic Old Town Key West - Turtle House, Sleeps 6

OVERVIEW
The Turtle House is a 100+ year old recently completely renovated “Conch” house. The house can be described as having “an open, crisp, private space”. The house has two (2) gabled ceilings, which creates a contemporary, spacious living environment. The downstairs floor is Golden Oak Pergo. All window, door, and floor trim is turn of the century style, and all windows are 6/6 double-hung sash.

The house has a Starlink high speed Wi-Fi network, streaming internet tv, a 43" Samsung SMART HDTV, and two (2) 26" Samsung SMART HDTVs. The house has central air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and access to a stacked washer and dryer. There is a stainless steel propane barbecue located on the pool deck.

The house can comfortably accommodate a maximum of six (6) guests - who are comfortable sharing an open living environment.

FIRST FLOOR
The kitchen, dining, living, and bathroom are located on the first floor. An architectural beam containing LED lighting extends the entire length of the house. The bathroom, located off the living room, is completely new and has recessed LED lighting, a full shower, and a pedestal sink. There are two (2) sets of French doors providing access to the rear courtyard where the 8'x10' heated Jacuzzi is located.

KITCHEN
The contemporary galley kitchen is new with maple cabinets, black Zimbabwe granite counter tops, stainless steel single compartment sink, and the ceiling has recessed LED lighting. Kitchen equipment includes an under the counter GE refrigerator, an under the counter Sub-Zero freezer with ice maker, a stainless steel gas range, garbage disposal, Samsung microwave, and Braun coffee maker, Krupps toaster, dishes, flatware, glasses (service for 6), pots, pans, and basic cooking utensils.

DINING ROOM
The dining room has a wood Parson's dining room table with seating for six (6), and a maple with black Zimbabwe granite service credenza - complete with wine rack.

LIVING ROOM
The living room has a queen sleeper sofa, a queen bed, a relaxing chair, a 43" Samsung SMART HDTV, and an Onkyo receiver.

COMMON ELEMENTS
The five (5) house compound is private and secure with a 25' x 10' heated pool including a 5' x 10' heated Jacuzzi. In addition, there is a 10' x 8' heated Jacuzzi. There are brick walkways, and a 40' x 10' sun deck, including a stainless steel propane barbecue, chaise lounges for sunbathing and relaxing; and tables and chairs for dining. Throughout the property there is a Starlink secured wireless wifi network, and CCTV security monitoring. The design of the property lends itself perfectly for small gatherings with friends and family.

LANDSCAPING
The landscaping is lush including various palm species, Poinciana, Spanish limes, avocado, bananas, hibiscus, bougainvillea, halliconias, bromeliads, and orchids, brick walkways.

EXCELLENT LOCATION
The house is located in Old Town Key West at the corner of Thomas and Angela Streets - (2) blocks west of the center of Duval Street in one of the oldest sections of Key West; (4) blocks east of Fort Zachary Taylor State Park/Beach, the best beach and picnic area in Key West. The gated compound is within easy walking or biking distance to everything in Old Town Key West, Duval Street, and the best entertainment and dining on the island.

CHICKENS & ROOSTERS
The City of Key West protects chickens and roosters, and considers them as part of the history and charm of Key West. As a result, Key West and many of the islands throughout the Florida Keys have free-range chickens and roosters. You will definitely see and hear chickens and roosters during your stay in Key West. Some visitors to Key West love them, and some visitors hate them - personally, I enjoy them best roasted, with plantains, and black beans and rice!

CRITTERS
Also, please remember that you are in the tropics and most life forms typically thrive in the tropics. Please don' t be surprised or alarmed if you see a lizard, or an insect.
