Casita de Catherine by AvantStay | 1 Block to Duval St w/ Hot Tub!

Casita de Catherine is a hidden gem! Enjoy Island life and live like a local in this perfect cottage on a quiet street in Key West. A welcoming outdoor space with a relaxing feel, this rental features a private hot tub and grill for outdoor entertaining.

The rear entry into this quaint cottage has French doors that open to rich terracotta flooring through the kitchen and living areas. Rustic wooden cabinets are filled with everything you need for a home-cooked meal. The inviting king-sized canopy bed is sure to provide a good night's rest in the bedroom just off the living room and behind a beautiful glass-paneled door.
Enjoy this private home of a local author. Come stay on the island where everyday writers write, roosters crow, and the sun shines. There is nowhere in the world like Key West. Located less than one block off Duval Street, near the famous La Te Da restaurant and bar, and a few blocks from The Southernmost Point.

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!

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team. Whether it’s fridge stocking or in-home massages, AvantStay offers a variety of upgrades & experiences to enhance your stay.

*Home Truths:*
- There is a loft in the home that is not accessible to guests.
- To access the home, you enter the SHARED gate and path that leads past another rental (duplex) to your rental.
- This home also features a sleeper sofa.
- 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.
- All bookings 28 days or longer require a security deposit to be charged after booking.
- 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.
- Key West is a resort island where renovation of existing historic properties, new construction, and road repair sometimes occur without forewarning. AvantStay is not liable for any guest inconveniences caused due to construction in the area.
- Please note that max occupancy includes infants.
- Please be advised that documentation may be necessary for ESA/service animals to gain entry.

Pets:
- Only one dog up to 50LBS is allowed and is subject to an additional fee of $150. If undisclosed pets are brought into the home without AvantStay's approval there is a fine of $500 per pet.
- We LOVE pets, however- Certain breeds typically have to have an additional owner or HOA approval. If your pet falls under any typical breed restrictions (breed, size, weight) please let us know so that we can confirm!

Great Apartment Near Duval St
This was a great little house to stay at while visiting Key West. My family had a great time and enjoyed being close to so many quality cafes, restaurants places to visit. You are walking distance of the southern most point, the community pool (free) and park, the Hemingway house and many other places.

Perfect location for KW
Excellent location, three blocks from the beach, 20 steps from Duval St. Small, but nicely appointed and very comfortable. Perfect for a couple!

Carolyn S.

Yes and no
The apartment is located behind a retail store on a rather ugly street. But it is near public transportation, nice cafes, and was mostly quiet and as pictured. AvantStay is the property manager. It was not possible to reach a person with any responsibility for the property. The humans we were able to contact had to “reach out” to someone else regarding parking (no reply) and early check-in (no reply) and clothes washer repair (received scripted text that a part had been ordered, and to save receipts from the laundromat. FYI laundromat machines don’t issue receipts). No repair was made during our 2 week stay. While I would rent the place again, I don’t think I would rent from AvantStay again
