Description Description
Don't miss an exceptional opportunity to spend your Key West stay on the grounds of an incredible estate property in the most ideal Old Town location you could imagine. DARLING OF DUVAL is a two-story guest cottage that offers many of the essentials and comforts of a luxury hotel plus the added benefits of an in-home washer & dryer, a private patio with a jacuzzi/hot tub, and your own BBQ grill for cooking the day's catch. Whether you are two couples, a family, or a few friends traveling together you'll find opportunities for both privacy and togetherness in this unique vacation home.

DARLING OF DUVAL and Last Key Realty's Five-Star In-Home Guest Services are the perfect combination to create the five star hospitality typically associated with luxury hotels - all in the Old Town location of your dreams.

THE LOCATION...

The drop pin on the map says it all: this estate is right in the thick of the best restaurants, nightlife, shopping, and sightseeing of Key West. This gated estate opens up onto one of the legendary corners of the island but is built back far enough from the street to minimize noise from businesses or passersby. From your balcony you might never know you are just a stone's throw from the best bars and restaurants of Duval Street. You'll also be within half a mile of Fort Zachary Taylor State Park, home to Key West's remarkable state park beach and the family friendly waterfront park. You'll be able to reach all of your favorite spots on foot, but this home does include off street parking for one vehicle or electric car/golf cart as well as space for mopeds or bicycles. When aiming for the true "Old Town Key West" location, it simply doesn't get any better than this.

THE ACCOMMODATIONS...

This unique guest cottage consists of two studio-style suites, one on each floor. Each floor features beautiful sliding glass doors that create an open-air feeling on breezy days. The two floors are connected by an external staircase.

** First Floor Suite: King bed, large walk in shower, en-suite bathroom, kitchenette (blender, coffee maker, hot plate, microwave) sitting area, SMART TV, washer & dryer.

** Second Floor Suite: King bed, large walk in shower, en-suite bathroom, kitchenette (blender, coffee maker, hot plate, microwave) sitting area, SMART TV, balcony.

YOUR PRIVATE PATIO & JACUZZI...

Outside the first-floor suite is a lovely private patio with outdoor dining for four, a comfortable outdoor lounge area, and a BBQ Grill perfect for cooking today's catch. The jacuzzi is all yours and can be left cool on a hot day or heated up in the winter months. Enjoy a happy hour cocktail in your jacuzzi spa before heading out on Duval for the evening.

Note: There is a pool on this owner-occupied estate property but it is not offered for guest use.

Very easy check in and check out process! Property is beautiful and well maintained. Safe and not even 1 block from the middle of duval. Walkable to pretty much anything! Would stay again

Absolutely fantastic!
Best location in Key West. Steps from Duvall Street and a short block from Ricks, Sloppy Joes, and Irish Kevins, but really quiet location. Quality in everything from the walk in showers to sub zero fridge. No real kitchen but equipped to make coffee and pastries. View is beautiful and owners were very nice. Will definitely book this property again. Last Key properties were excellent to work with too. Kudos to Nancy. She was very helpful.

Right off Duvall St, this is the perfect place! We did not need a car once we used Uber from the airport in Key West. Great recommendations for eateries were listed in the room binder. It was HOT, but the A/C was wonderfully cool. The coffee pot was a nice touch and used each morning. A really great place overall!

Great for two couples
Perfect location. Everything you need. Nice decor. Very quiet. Alice was very helpful. My only complaint is not being allowed in the huge pool that sat unused the whole time we had to walk by it to get to our rooms. It was hot while we were there and it would have been hospitable.

This felt like a private resort just off Duval Street. We loved our stay and would certainly come back. Everyone at Last Key was excellent - seems like they run a smooth operation. Lots of great advice too.
Super walkable location (and you still get a guaranteed parking spot!).
Everything was really fantastic. The only things I’ll note for other guests that may be tricky to see in the listing are:
- You’re effectively renting two separate suites stacked on top of each other. There’s an outdoor covered staircase to get to the upstairs entrance.
- There’s limited privacy in the upstairs shower. Even with the folding privacy panel, someone could see in unless they stay by the balcony and face away from the mirror
- The pool is right in front of the sliding glass doors to the lower bedroom. We weren’t on the property much during the daytime but we only saw the owners using the pool area once. You do have blackout curtains.

This property was exactly what our family needed for our stay in Key West. Even with being a few steps away from the business of Duval, the seclusion of the property with its well thought out landscaping provides a quiet and peaceful environment to relax after walking the town. Would highly recommend this property and hope it is available for our next stay.

The location of the property was perfect to downtown Key West. My girls loved the easy access to shopping eating and sightseeing.

Perfect Location!
This gated property is in the perfect location, one block from Duval. Many restaurants and bars are right around the corner. This property is exceptional. As previously mentioned by others you have to pass a beautiful pool and landscaped area to get to your cottage, but the pool is not available to renters which is a shame. We enjoyed the hot tub in the afternoon where there a a cool breeze each day. Although clearly stated, we did not realize that each bedroom is totally separate, using outside stairs to get to the upper bedroom. It worked for two couples. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again!

Private paradise in the heart of Key West!
The property and its location cannot be beat. Just steps from Duval St. and a short walk to many area attractions and restaurants, we enjoyed taking in Key West by foot. The guest cottage lived up to its description nestled within the owner's property with two beautiful, spacious and well-appointed suites. Morning coffee on the balcony and evening drinks in the hot tub were highlights of our stay. Samantha from Last Key was a terrific host providing communication prior to our arrival thru checkout. She was very friendly and responsive, ensuring our needs were met throughout our stay.

Location is the best!
We loved our stay and the location could not be beat. Both living spaces were clean and all equipment worked well. Samantha and Laura were extremely knowledgeable, a lot of fun, and helpful. The only drag was walking from the rental office where we kept our luggage to the house. Providing transportation would have been a big plus. Also, the 10am check-out was a bit early. A 11am checkout would have been much more accommodating, but Danny would not budge and the cleaning guy actually came a few minutes before 10am. I do recommend this home as it is gate access and secure. The back patio and hot tub were a big hit. The key lime pie in the fridge was very nice and tasted great. As I mentioned earlier, location was incredible, as you could walk to the beach, cruise ships, dinner, and many great sights. The bike tour was fun and we all had a blast on the kayak tour. We enjoyed First Flight for drinks and lunch. Have a great time and relax!

Everything was exactly as listed - great guest house in beautiful garden setting, extremely close to restaurants and nightlife. The only negative is that I’m somewhat of a light sleeper, and the upstairs did get some noise from the music on surrounding properties (which is what you’d expect given the proximity to Duval).

Amazing location, quiet setting, gated parking, amazing staff services
This was professionally managed by Last Key Resort. We worked with Samantha. She was absolutely amazing! Golf cart rental, jet skis, and sunset tour were nice ways to spend the days. Stellar communication throughout. I will agree with most of the earlier comments regarding the pool. You make the reservation knowing the pool has restricted use. However you don’t realize how nice it would be to jump in after a long hot day on the island and you can’t. I would definitely paid an additional premium to add this option. Something the owners should highly consider. All in all the accommodations were wonderful and we cannot wait to return.

First off, the communication from the rental team was spot on and absolutely wonderful. Very friendly! I knew exactly what to expect, and when to expect it. The property itself was as advertised, and a stunning property at that. The location was steps from Duval, and also close to many attractions. We walked the entire length of our trip, and never felt the need for a car for any reason. We had a great stay and looking forward to returning very soon!

An exceptional property to savor the ever- amazing Key West.
Darling of Duval is a well deserved title by all measures. Our accommodations were consistently above standard. Location truly the best to experience the rich history of Key West. The richness of our experience was deepened with a little research of the history of this house and information offered by walkers by who stopped to visit. I suspect we weren’t the stars they were expecting! It is a bit pricey, by our standards, but well in line with other facilities in Key West. Not being allowed access to the pool was a downer with no one else on the property. It is an understandable family preference and likely driven by liability concerns. (Yet another gift from the lawyers we see plastered all over Florida billboards!) I wish more Hemingway had rubbed off on me to permit a richer review. As refuges from the frozen North we can only say it was, in every way, a memorable stay.

Beautiful property located just off Duval and close to just about everything! Accommodations included everything we needed and the property management company offered a concierge service that we didn’t expect. Everything was perfect!

Best VRBO ever
You cannot beat the location. 2 separate living quarters. It’s totally private. Would stay here again for sure:). I probably would not stay with kids here though as you cannot use the pool and I know they would want to. Equipped with anything you could need.

Beautiful & Private Property Next Door to Duval
This cottage house is set back far from the street and located on a stunning property. It was a clean and modern accommodation that was the perfect jumping off point for everything Duval St has to offer. I went with my wife and friends and we’d all book again in a heart beat.

The Heart Of Key West
1st class accommodations, great set up for 2 couples and the host thought of everything including the best key lime pie in town. Property is tucked away safe and sound yet in the heart of town yet quiet. If we had known about the exterior security cameras, we would not have startled the owners before dawn as we headed out to enjoy the day at the Dry Tortugas. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Offers the best of Key West. Walked everywhere. We would stay here again!

Just a few strides from Duval Street
This property is perfect for staying near the funnest and most entertaining parts of Key West. It is literally a few strides from Duval Street (walk out the gate, take a right, and you are there; live music is across the street, Mallory Square is a few hundred yards away [you get it]). The place was immaculate and ideal for two couples per unit, or small families. We will definitely try to get this property again for a few days during our next visit.

AAAAMMMMAAAAZING! ??
This is the perfect place to stay in Key West! It was our first time visiting & this property was secluded & private, yet so close to all of the fun on Duval Street. We traveled with friends & the set-up was perfect for us—up and down. All of the finishes were beautiful—we felt like we were staying in a private resort! :) We had the pleasure of meeting the owners in passing & they were lovely & welcoming. And Samantha from Last Key Realty was so helpful with check in/check out. This is the perfect spot to stay in Key West & we will DEFINITELY stay here again if we are back!! ??

We were celebrating our 50 years of marriage with our daughter and son-in-law. It was a perfect spot, beautiful and perfectly located to see everything Key West has to offer.

Easily within walking distance of the must see Duval St favorites but peaceful mornings and evenings on the property perfect for those not into the nightlife. Mallory Square and the Historic Wharf a short walk. The property itself it beautiful. Both rooms are nicely made up, beds were comfortable and the modern showers were perfect after long day of being outside taking in the site's.

Secluded in the middle of the hustle and bustle.
What a great location. Guest house on estate lot tucked away in the middle of all the action. Such a convenient spot. House was clean and as advertised. One thing to note is the off limits pool is literally 3 steps away from this guest house. No problem for adults but hard to tell that to a 3 year old that wants to go in it the whole time! Would have gladly paid extra to use the pool, but I understand it's a liability and not part of the guest villa. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property, just as beautiful as the pictures show. The property sits just a block off Duval street so we enjoyed super easy access to everything, but the cottage was nestled in enough to have privacy and quiet.

January breezes in the Keys
We had a wonderful stay at this property and want to come back. It was literally the MOST perfect location even though we were first timers in the Keys, we quickly saw what a great location it was...would highly recommend it to anyone. We had wonderful meals all over the Keys and loved Hank's saloon just about 20 yards away from our gate...great music and amazing food truck goodies and short walk home...house is well protected from the noise and we experienced very restful nights. This spot is a gem...we will come back to the Keys and stay here again. Last Key concierge service was very helpful in making our reservations all over the island and we did Fort Jefferson day trip-highly recommend that too.

Fantastic location and property
The property is quiet despite being "In the thick of it all" only a block from famous Duval Street. The cute house consists of two studio-type bedrooms, each with a separate entrance, mini-kitchen and bathroom. It is stocked well. There is an outside patio, table and chairs and a washer/ dryer combo. The only negatives were a lack of a table to eat at or play games and a musty smell in the lower bedroom.

Perfect stay in Key West
We rented both units and everything was as described - very nice and clean. The property is right in the middle of everything; close to all the action and restaurants but tucked in behind the main house and away from any bar noise. It is probably the best location to stay in Key West. If there is any negative to the property it is the UV light from the A/C units that shines directly onto both beds. I didn't mind it but my wife had a problem with it. However, she used one of those face masks that you take on the plane and then she was fine. All in all, place, location, setting.. everything was perfect. We will not think twice to book this place next time we are in Key West.

The Darling of Duval is just that making it so cozy and clean! The location is so amazing because you can pretty much walk anywhere but still have the necessary quiet once you’re ready to sleep at night. The only thing I would have liked was a little sunny area to relax, but instead we found a sunny bar patio always nearby. There is plenty of beautiful foliage on the property making it look like a tropical paradise. Samantha was the best handling everything perfectly for us. Thank you!

What an amazing location, beautiful surroundings, just right.
Tucked away in the back of a surprisingly enormous property right in the heart of downtown Key West (corner of Caroline and Duvall). Walk to everything, but just faintly hear music when it's time for sleep. So many lush trees and plants that it's still secluded. Just you and those funny Key West roosters.

Great Location
This was our first trip to Key West, and we picked this property without really knowing much about where we were going. We couldn’t have done a better job if we had tried! It is ideally located to walk to almost all the major attractions that first timers need to see. And it is close to multiple good restaurants. The property itself is top notch. I had not rented from Home Away in a long time, and I thought I remembered that the quoted rate included almost everything. So I didn’t check my email for several days, thinking everything was taken care of. When I did check, I found that the property was managed by a real estate company and there were more fees than I had anticipated. But for those fees, they take care of you most excellently! Just be aware that your total will be more than days x the quoted rate. I would definitely stay here again. (The property owner was very nice as well!)

I loved having two suites in one building. It offers the perfect amount of separation when traveling with another couple. Shannon, the rental coordinator, is warm and inviting. Communicating with her is like chatting with an old friend. The property owner lives in the main house. He was friendly and quick to offer some great bar, restaurant and music suggestions.

Wonderful accommodation in quiet setting
My wife, 2 college age sons, and I stayed for 3 nights. The rooms are as pictured, very comfortable, clean, and private. The interior was tastefully done. The location is surprisingly very quiet, it is set back off the street and we never heard noise from Duvall. The location can't be beat for access to Old Town as it is in the midst of everything. We walked everywhere and rode bikes to places outside of walking distance-which was not often. The concierge service was excellent. I would highly recommend this location for 2 couples or a group of 4.

We stayed at the Darling of Duval at Xmas 2018. I can't imagine a more lovely, convenient and sumptuous place. It was better than any luxury resort, in terms of amenities, aesthetics, hospitality and location. The guesthouse sits in the rear of a beautifully landscaped tropical garden. Each room had a generous king-sized bed, and choice of ventilation (open sliding doors for cross-breezes plus ceiling fan plus Mitsubishi A/C units. Parking on premises behind a wrought iron gate. Half a block from the heart of Duval, yet you feel like you are in a hidden oasis. The main house is a grand plantation colonial style home, and you feel like an honored guest.
