Located along a leafy street, this home is right in the heart of Key West. Designed in typical shotgun style, all rooms are accessed off a long and airy timber-floored corridor that leads to a light-filled kitchen and rear courtyard. The property is enviably stylish — we love the considered use of driftwood panels, velvet furnishings and potted plants, along with vintage-feel lighting and curated artwork. Catch up on the day’s news from the raised front terrace facing the street — evening sundowner in hand for full authenticity — or converge on the living room sofas for sociable evenings with friends. And if you’re working from home, who wouldn’t want a sunny courtyard with a dipping pool to slip into between video calls? When you’re ready to explore, there's plenty to do within walking distance — get up to scratch with local history at Audubon House or the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, or take it easy in one of Duval Street's many restaurants and bars. Alternatively, there's also the opportunity for snorkelling outings or cycle rides around the island.
