Duval Square - Downtown Key West!

Like no other place on this remarkable island, the gated and secluded rooftop community above Duval Square is the perfect place to vacation. Quaint townhomes cluster a story above a charming bricked-in square featuring restaurants, shops, an art gallery, and more. Best of all, the enclave is adjacent to and overlooks the world-famous Duval Street. Enjoy the sights of Key West’s main artery from the spectacular rooftop pool. Maybe do a little sunning or people watch. And when you’ve had enough, enter the air-conditioned comfort and tranquility of this townhome with its generous two-level living space, private deck with a hot tub, 2 bedrooms with a balcony off the master suite, and 2.5 baths.

NOTICE: The COA that oversees this complex imposes a $50 per rental fee. This additional fee will be added to your rental agreement when booking and appears as a Reimburse Owner charge.

The townhouse door opens into a front foyer with windows on two sides inviting the sunshine in. Or pull the shades for seamless privacy. Here there’s a bench, hooks for hanging items, a bookcase, baskets, in other words plenty of surfaces for sun lotion, pool towels, your keys and a guidebook, so they’ll be handy to grab when you venture out.

Next in the floor plan is the kitchen, done in cloud white cabinets and white Whirlpool appliances against ocean blue walls and coordinating area rug below. One side of the U-shaped countertop also serves double duty as a convenient breakfast bar complete with chairs. All the kitchen amenities you’d expect are at your fingertips. This is an ideal kitchen for preparing a four-course meal or for warming leftovers from some fabulous meal you ate out the night before. A window over the double sink provides plenty of ambient light or later, as the day turns to evening, use the contemporary track lighting. Next to the kitchen is a laundry closet with washer and dryer, a catch-all closet for a broom and the like, and an ever-so-convenient guest half bath.

The home’s dining space features a crafted wooden table and chairs and a handsome and functional hutch with drawers and cabinets. The track lighting mirroring that in the kitchen carries through to the dining and living areas. The dining area features an eye-catching rope chandelier which provides illumination and an artistic focal point for the area.

To the front is the living room space outfitted with a couch that pulls out into queen bed and a matching love sea. Both invite lounging. The seating is dotted with colorful pillows that take their fabric cue from a nearby swivel chair while the ottoman that doubles as a coffee table blends with the fabric of the couches. Below is an area rug that cushions the natural tile floor beneath while a Florida ceiling fan whirrs above. Across the room is a cabinet with shelves and drawers and space for the large flat screen TV which is in perfect position for viewing from the seating area. Of course, there’s cable and wireless high-speed internet. This is the perfect space for reading, watching a movie, or enjoying family and friends.

From the living area, through glass doors is the private deck with a bubbly hot tub. Or maybe you’re in the mood for a mid-morning meal or starlight dinner in which case there’s a perfect table and four chairs out here to accommodate.

If you don’t already wish you could move in permanently, you’ll probably feel that way once you see the upstairs. A staircase leads to the second floor with its two bedrooms and two full baths. Each bedroom is professionally decorated with lamps, end tables, a TV, spacious closet space for hanging items and chest of drawers for foldable items. The first room offers a comfy queen bed and en-suite full bath. The second, the Master bedroom, offers a just-as-comfy king bed, en-suite full bath, and, through glass doors, a private fresh air balcony with four chairs. If you feel inclined to enjoy a morning latte or nightcap, this is the perfect spot.

After you’ve checked out this exceptional living space, wander down to the temperature-controlled pool reserved for the exclusive use of Duval Square townhouse residents. The pool and chaise loungers are very inviting. Sit here under the canopied roof for shade or out in the sun to work on a tan. If other bathers are enjoying the pool at the same time, you can strike up a conversation, share vacation stories, and get tips about great places to go in Key West. Although the townhome comes with covered parking for a car, you can walk or bike almost anywhere you want to go from this ideal location.

When adventure calls, wander down to the shops, boutiques, a full-service salon, and restaurants that comprise the charming Duval Square. The Square has the feel of a courtyard garden with the convenience of services and food added in. Down a few steps from here brings you to Duval Street itself, which has been officially designated a Great Street by the American Planning Association. A left turn will head you toward the shores of the Atlantic and a right turn will head you toward the Gulf.

In between are all the things that make the Conch Republic so famous: beaches, tours, museums, shopping, over two hundred restaurants, bars, and the Key West Aquarium where you can pet a shark if you dare. Or maybe you’d prefer to have butterflies land on your shoulder at the Butterfly Conservatory. Perhaps have your picture taken at the Southernmost Point buoy or pose with a parrot perched on your head. If the arts are of interest, you’ve come to the right place for music, movies, plays, art galleries, lectures, artists in residence open studios, and more.

Check your phone for sunset times so you don’t miss the world-famous celebration at Mallory Square. Be there as locals and visitors alike gather seven days a week, 365 days a year, to witness the sun sinking into the horizon. Be sure to applaud as the last round edge of fiery orange disappears. If you’re lucky, maybe you’ll see the elusive “green flash” and claim the bragging rights for years to come. Then stick around as artists and street performers entertain the enthusiastic crowd with performing cats, fire eaters, musicians, fortune tellers, and more

Find opportunities for all kinds of water sports along the Historic Seaport boardwalk. Maybe sign up for a sunset sail, a fishing charter, or try water sport opportunities like diving, parasailing, snorkeling, jet-skiing, and more. Maybe take a Conch Train or Trolly ride to preview the island. If this is your first trip to the Conch Republic, a guidebook from Books & Books on Eaton Street or a stop at the Chamber of Commerce Information Center on Greene Street will help make sure you don’t miss anything.
