About this property

The Gumbo Limbo Cottage - Your Happy Place - 2BD/2.5 Bath

  • Escape to the laid-back charm of Key West with The Gumbo Limbo Cottage, a beautiful and beachy vacation rental. Nestled in the heart of the island, this charming 1933 shotgun house has been impeccably restored and uniquely decorated, creating a tranquil and inviting atmosphere for your month-long getaway.

    As soon as you step inside, you'll be greeted by hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings that flow throughout the home. The front reading room, complete with a small refrigerator and desk, is the perfect spot for an early morning coffee or an afternoon nap, while the foyer doubles as a dining room with seating for four.

    The master bedroom is just inside French doors that lead to a king-size bed and a separate bathroom, including a private outdoor shower that can be accessed via a side door off of the bathroom.

    The guest room features a comfortable queen size bed, and both rooms are located off the main dining area, along with a guest bathroom with a large soaker tub and shower combo.

    The open living room and kitchen provide the perfect space for entertaining and cooking for your family and guests. The kitchen is complete with dishware and cookware, ready for you to create your own delicious items. There is countertop seating for two and a gas grill on the lower deck for BBQs. When the living room becomes too warm, you can lower the solar screens to let in natural light without the heat. The sliding glass doors open to the sundeck, complete with a table for six and lounging furniture, making it easy to enjoy indoor-outdoor living.

    The backyard is a true oasis, with lush Florida foliage and a large Florida almond tree, and Gumbo Limbo, which are native to Key West. Spend your days lounging on the sundeck or exploring all that this vibrant island has to offer. And, when it's time to wind down, retire to the comfort of your cozy home-away-from-home, complete with linens included and free WiFi. Please inquire about our pet policy. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience the laid-back charm of Key West this winter - book your stay at this beautiful vacation rental today!
