CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS ~ A Vintage Key West Retreat that is full of Charm!!

HISTORIC OLD-WORLD CHARM WITH MODERN AMENITIES AND A LAGOON-STYLE POOL....
Once you step through the threshold of this Old Town home you feel enveloped in vintage Key West.  Dade County wood surfaces, nautical accents plus appealing and comfortable decor make this a true "Captain's Quarters". Hang out in the living room with flat screen TV.

They each have TVs, storage for clothing and the option of using the hall or rear bathrooms. The master bedroom is fitted with a king size bed, flat screen, closet and has an interior door that leads to a full bathroom.  You will find a cast iron clawfoot tub with rain shower as well as a vintage pedestal sink. The rear bathroom off the family room has a tiled shower with glass door and a pedestal sink. There is a powder room off the kitchen that houses the washer and dryer. It has a door to the rear deck that can double for cottage use.  The cottage is your fourth bedroom with a queen size bed, pedestal sink, dresser and flat screen with a view of the pool!  If you have one or two more guests they can use the sleeper sofa in the family room. 

AMENITIES...
Captains' Quarters had updates completed in the spacious homes layout and decor in 2015. Impressively rich Dade County pine and high ceilings make this property a real stand out.

Once inside, you will find a covered porch with a swing and seating area perfect for your morning coffee or to curl up with a book.  A winding path will take you around the side yard to a real gem; the lagoon-style pool!  The large private, heated pool is situated in the rear yard surrounded by a composite deck with plenty of seating. There is a gas grill and outdoor table covered with a large umbrella meant for six to dine al fresco and grill your fresh catch of the day.  If you are a sun worshiper you can kick back and relax on one of the five lounge chairs that surround the pool.

A Gem!

This property was perfect. The house itself is lovely and has a great set up. 4 bedrooms (one is in a little attached cottage outside). The pool is a very nice addition. The home is located a little bit off the beaten track, so it is quiet. It is in walking distance of everything. We would definitely stay here again!walkingof

Antique dreamy Key West gem🩵

We really love this place. The pool is excellent and well heated! We swam even on the one cold day we had. Really great customer service and response from the management. Everything was clean and well maintained and worked! Definitely a Key West dream house with the old timey historic feel that we all love about the island…and a great pool.

Great House, Great Host

Our family of eight really enjoyed our time in Key West. This was a first-time visit for all of us. The Captain's Quarters is a beautiful and comfortable home, in a quiet neighborhood, with a welcoming patio & pool, and an attentive & caring property manager. We were made to feel welcome and valued. I will be sharing this listing with family and friends, and would not hesitate to stay at this property again. Thank you!

A Good Find on Key West

My family enjoyed our stay at Captain’s Quarters. The children especially enjoyed the heated pool and there was adequate room for the seven of us. The bedding was comfortable and it was handy that all of the bedrooms had TVs. There is normally places to park out front if one happens to have a golf cart. There are some issues that need to be addressed and we had many electrical plugs that were very old and wouldn’t work so charging phones became an issue. … It could use a freshen up as window treatments are falling down off the French doors and it just looks like there needs to be a redo by the owners to justify the cost. We are used to staying in nicer places, but I understand that KW is not like staying at The Four Seasons. It’s

Must Stay Location!

The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent 4 days and 3 nights. Captains Quarters was wonderful. Great location with avg transportation cost of 8. Loved the front porch and the neighborhood. Keep in mind there is an early noise ordinances at 8pm so you need to be mindful at the pool if night swimming. Woke up with the chickens every morning and relaxed in this home. The bathtub is high and for older folk would be difficult but there are two other showers one outdoors which was great under the stars! The beds and pillows were top notch and we all slept very well. Biggest issue was the deck door to the pool was very difficult to open. It stuck a lot. Thank you to the host for the great communication and I highly recommend using their free concierge service. We had food waiting for us after a very stressful travel day. They really aided in our decompression. I will be back and will stay here again.

Dead growth in yard created a mess constantly on the pool. Out door furniture shows wear and some are broken. Need throw blankets. Blackout curtains would be appreciated in the bedrooms. Some doors do not latch and/or lock.

Amazing Stay at Captain's Quarters

I absolutely loved this property. It was beautiful and impeccably decorated in true Key West fashion. The house is full of beautiful antiques and nautical art. The management team was very communicative and accommodating. The pool was amazing for a midday break because it was so deep and the perfect temperature. This house was definitely a splurge for us but we made up for it by cooking at home. The kitchen and the house had everything we needed and a working grill so we were able to have amazing meals at home. I absolutely love this property I would definitely stay here again.
