Historic Old Town Key West Cigarmaker's Cottage - Sleeps 4

OVERVIEW
The Cigar House is a 100+ year old“Cigar maker’s house”. The recently completely renovated house is charming, spacious, secluded and private. The cottage has a raised vaulted wood ceiling, creating a rustic, Caribbean ambiance. The downstairs floor is the original Dade County Pine. All window, door, and floor trim is turn of the century style, and all windows are 6/6 double-hung sash. All linens and towels are furnished.

The house has a secured wi-fi network, a Sony 32″ flat screen HDTV, and a Sony 26″ flat screen HDTV. The house has central air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and a stacked LP washer and dryer. There is a stainless steel propane barbecue located on the pool deck.

The cottage can comfortably accommodate a maximum of four (4) guests – who are comfortable sharing an open sociable living environment.

FIRST FLOOR
The kitchen, living, dining, sitting, and bathroom and a small bedroom are located on the first floor. The living room has a queen sleeper sofa, a Sony 32″ flatscreen HDTV, a Sony DVD player, and a Sony CD player/ receiver. The bathroom, located off the living room, has been recently completely renovated and has a vaulted ceiling and a new full size marble shower. There is a full bed in the small bedroom at the end of the living room.

KITCHEN
The kitchen is new and contemporary with mahogany cabinets, white Corian countertops, and integrated Corian sink, and serve thru access to the dining room. The ceiling is vaulted with architectural beams and LED lighting. The kitchen has a pantry, refrigerator, gas range, garbage disposal, microwave, and Braun coffee maker, Krupps toaster, dishes, flatware, glasses (service for 6), pots, pans, and all the basic cooking utensils. There is a French door providing access to the rear deck where the washer and dryer are located.

LOFT SLEEPING AREA

A ship's ladder is used to access the loft sleeping area. The loft has a queen size bed, and a Sony 26″ flatscreen HDTV.

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 secured wireless internet access, 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!

Everything they said it was
All the reviews were spot on!!! The location is perfect, yet while so centrally located the property is quiet & peaceful. The boys loved the pool & hot tub. My husband & I slept downstairs- bed was plenty big enough, I kid took upstairs (even they both could’ve) & the other crashed on the couch. Just one bathroom can get tricky, but doable.

Cigar House
We really enjoyed our time in Key West. The property is beautiful and private. The pool and jacuzzi were wonderful and we made use of both most days. The location was perfect for us and the use of the bikes made getting to Fort Zachary really easy. Short walk to Moondog Cafe and Blue Heaven for breakfast/lunch/dinner were great!

Very Happy
The location was small, but more than enough for the two of us. The pool was warm and the hot tub hot! Plantings gave us a lot of privacy and we were within walking distance to wherever we wanted to go. Would definitely book again.

Perfect little house
We loved this little place. It’s clean, comfortable, perfectly located and well appointed. There is only 1 bathroom and very little privacy for the bedrooms, but it was perfect for my family of 4 for a long weekend.

In the middle of everything
Rented with my two boys, ages 16 and 10. The loft was great for them but it’s a low ceiling so may not be for everyone. Place was clean, pool was great, hot tub super hot, and you’re a half block to Blue Heaven for some of the best food. And you can walk to Hemingway’s house, lighthouse, duval, little White House and nearly anything else you want to see or do.
