Fifty years ago, James Leo Herlihy, the author of "Midnight Cowboy," was probably the second most renowned writer living in Key West, just a notch below his close friend and mentor, Tennessee Williams, who was a frequent visitor to 709 Bakers Lane along with luminaries such as Truman Capote, Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Tallulah Bankhead, Leonard Bernstein, Elizabeth Bishop, James Merrill, and Thomas McGuane. The artistic tradition continues today as the compound is owned by a family of funky writers and artists that have received many honors and awards, including a MacArthur Genius Award, Order of the British Empire, and a National Endowment for the Arts, among others. Monkey House offers two bedrooms (both kings), a cozy kitchen, and two bathrooms. Outside, cool off in the pool, grab a lounger in the sun, or relax in the covered patio lounge. The pool even has a waterfall feature hiding a small grotto that kids and adults alike will love. Bonus: you'll be within two blocks of the excitement of Duval Street, with shops, bars, restaurants, and art galleries all waiting to be explored! Monkey House is part of the Midnight Cowboy compound, which also includes the Main House (1 king bedroom) and Hibiscus Suite (studio-style space with a queen bed) at Tennessee Williams. Stay at Monkey House, or rent the entire Midnight Cowboy compound for a total of four bedrooms. Need even more room for your group? Just next door, the Boat House offers an additional king bedroom along with a living area, kitchen, and full bathroom. All spaces share access to the central pool area and outdoor washer/dryer. With bright pops of color, an eclectic design, and a private oasis to keep you cool, you'll find an overall lively atmosphere throughout every corner. Get ready for an exciting blend of artistry, amenities, design, and relaxation at Monkey House, your first choice for a Key West experience like no other. 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 and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service! Key West is a place unlike any other in the United States. Connect with marine life through diving or fishing, or sightseeing along the beautiful turquoise beaches. Nature is abundant, and so are the bars! Known for its nightlife, you will play as hard as you work in Key West, although it remains a wonderful destination for families and solo travelers alike. Make sure to chow down on some of the local seafood or Cuban-influenced cuisine—the country is only about 100 mi away.
