Upon arriving at this private island, you will immediately notice the peaceful quiet that car-free, traffic-free living affords. The security and privacy that this island offers make this a great place for families, children, or couples. Upon entering the home via its foliage-lined pergola, you can decide whether to take a dip in the shared pool just steps from the home or enjoy the partial water view from the third-floor covered deck. This lush island is home to a gourmet restaurant just a few feet from the home, a sunset bar, tennis and basketball courts, spa, and pool. Nightlife on Duval is another attractive option via the island’s 24-hour ferry service. Whether you choose to take day trips from Key West or enjoy its many shops, restaurants, and bars, you can always return to your stress-free vacation retreat on Sunset Key. If you return prior to dark, you will witness the most beautiful sunsets on earth. This 2-bedroom, 3 baths home sleeps 6 and features 3 levels of living. An open-concept kitchen/living and dining area as well as a full bathroom with walk-in shower are located on the first floor. An office nook is ready for your work or study time.
