About this property
Turtle's Nest, 3 BR+3BA, dog friendly, Conch Cottage in Midtown Key West
Welcome to The Turtle’s Nest – Your ultimate Key West getaway, where luxury meets paw-fection! We’re excited to share our recently renovated home in paradise, now available for rentals. The Turtle’s Nest is a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat nestled in vibrant Midtown Key West – perfectly situated without the crowds of Old Town, but just 5 blocks from Smathers Beach and a 10 min bike ride away from Duval Street's nightlife and historic charm. The airport and Garrison Bight Marina (hello, fishing and sandbar charters!) are less than half a mile away. The Key West Golf Course is just 3 miles away. Sleeps up to 9 comfortably- -1 King bed -2 Queen beds -1 Full bed (a bunk bed over a Queen bed) -1 Queen sleeper sofa
The sitting area on back patio is perfect to enjoy your coffee in the mornings, or to relax after a your day of fun! The 3rd bedroom is actually an in-law suite with a full bath, separate from the others with its own entrance and has a mini-fridge and coffee bar!
What’s included? -High Speed Wi-Fi -Parking in front of the house for 1-2 vehicles -4 complimentary bicycles -4 beach chairs & lots of beach towels -4 smart TV's -Two workstations (that fold away) -Fully stocked kitchen (all appliances, dishes, pots/pans, spices) -Full-size washer/dryer -Private outdoor shower with hot/cold water -Dog-friendly (with breed approval, but no size restrictions) with a fully fenced yard
Whether you're sipping coffee on the patio or riding bikes to the beach, this is your home base for unforgettable island adventures. The house is ready for you to relax, recharge, and explore all that Key West has to offer. Just pack your swimsuit – the rest is waiting for you at The Turtle’s Nest!
This historic cottage was originally built as a home for the cigar factory workers, the Martinez Cigar factory building still stands a block away, and is now a storage facility. The home was unique in that it was built with Indian Block, known for its fireproofing and hurricane strong properties.
Before we bought this beautiful home, we would visit Key West with our 2 dogs and often had a difficult time finding a place that would accept larger dogs (we have a Golden Retriever and an Australian Shepherd), so our mission was to make a lovely spot that you can enjoy along side your family pets.
