About this property
Tropical Jewel - Stay Where The Vacation Never Ends- 2BD/2Bath - Private Pool
WELCOME TO TROPICAL JEWEL
Near all the action of the historic seaport and Duval Street, you can get out into the city anytime you want, or quickly retreat back when the party is winding down.
Discover the eclectic charm of this Key West home, just two blocks from the Historic Seaport. This unique property is a perfect blend of colorful, quirky elements that embody the spirit of island living. Relax on the front porch in Adirondack chairs while enjoying a cold beverage.
Inviting and Eclectic Living Spaces: Our living room is a cheerful space, ideal for relaxing with a good book or sharing stories of the day's adventures. Casual and relaxing colors touch the home's eclectic decor. The open-concept living and kitchen area provides a comfortable and inviting environment for you and your guests, especially when you consider that the living room extends outside to a covered dining area, alfresco dining, wet bar, and a mini fridge creates the perfect place to make your cocktails. The unit's washing machine and dryer are also hidden in a closet in this area.
Outdoor Living at its Quaintest: Step out onto the covered lanai, an ideal spot for enjoying meals or a cool drink. It's a true highlight of the property, providing just the right amount of space for a gathering. The pool, a good size for Key West standards, offers a delightful retreat from the warm sun in a serene backyard setting. The pool is private and heated for when the temperatures are slightly more brisk.
Functional Kitchen and Dining: The kitchen features granite countertops alongside distressed cabinets, creating a practical yet charming space for meal preparations. The fridge, range and dishwasher ensures your stay is convenient and enjoyable.
Accommodations: This home accommodates up to 6 guests but 4 comfortably with 2 Queen beds and 1 Full-size bed. The loft space above the primary bedroom adds a unique touch but is more suited for shorter stays or as an additional, temporary guest space as the ladder up there may be difficult for some people.
Embrace the vibrant, quirky charm of our home, where each day is an opportunity to create unforgettable memories in Key West.

I can’t express how much I love this house.We stayed for a month in October and really really didn’t want to leave.As our driver arrived I touched the house and said ‘ we ll be back’ it may sound bonkers !The booking process was simple and Angela at PP was a dream to deal with, keeping us up to date with any changes etcCommunication was fantastic Anyway the arrival was simple and the electronic door locks meant no one needed to carry keys which was a bonus.The accommodation was spotless and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped and organised and the overall decor was sunny and tropical.Having tvs in each bedroom meant we could have some freedom from watching same old programmes. Also the highlight for me was watching a programme called ‘Midsommer Murders’ whilst being outside in the pool. The outdoor tv was awesome! Both bedrooms had a bathroom / shower each. We didn’t use the mezzanine bedroom (only to store our luggage). However kids would love this area.My favourite area was the pool deck and outdoor cocktail kitchen! The pool was heated and larger than i expected which is unusual in KW. It is private and is surrounded by lush foliage which brings nature into the garden which was wonderful.I wish i could share a couple of pics but there doesn’t seem to be an option.The location was perfect , close to the Seaport and Duval but quiet. Also close to Faustos who told us we could wheel our shopping home in the trolley as long as we returned it!! That’s how close. Finally i d like to say it has the perfect balance of luxury and comfort and please can we come back.

Convenient location in a quiet neighborhood, but close to the harbor and restaurants. Private backyard with a beautiful pool. Rental company is very responsive. Only downside is the guest bedroom is small.

This was really an awesome location, surprisingly quiet, given its location, close to the action in Key West, and extremely well kept. Really had a fabulous experience, well stocked, and perfect size for our needs. The management company was very responsive to needs, and our day was wonderful.

This is my second time renting the Tropical Jewel and it is was again an absolutely a fabulous rental property. Every morning I made a pot of coffee and sat in the yellow lounge and felt the sweet island breezes and the sounds of Key West. The house is 2 blocks off Duval - great for taking in the sights. A quaint little cottage and the pool is wonderful. The property managers (Angela, Phil, and Meghan) were there at a moments notice to answer questions or take care of any problems that might arise. I would highly recommend this property!!

This property is in a great location while still being private. This is our second year at this house, and will be coming next year. The management is friendly and responsive. I would say that the house is very tired and needs updating. A deep cleaning, replacing tattered and worn furniture and a paint job throughout would work wonders.

The house is a cute little house, great location to walk to Pep’s, Schooner Wharf, and Duval. Very secure house. We enjoyed our month there. But, we were disappointed in the equipment of the kitchen. The guest bedroom was very little and our guest stated the bed was uncomfortable..
