Escape to the wonderful Cuban Paradise!

Built in 1917 as a “club” for Cuban cigar makers and their families as their home-away-from-home, this building soon became the center of social and community life for the Cuban population in Key West. After the original Cuban Club burned down in 1983, it was restored and converted to luxurious and spacious suites.

Escape the stress and cares of your daily life with a vacation to the wonderful Cuban Paradise! This roomy two-bedroom condo has a private balcony to enjoy all the hustle and energy of the famous Duval Street. The primary bedroom sits in a loft overlooking the living room, and it features a four-post queen-sized bed, two nightstands with reading lamps, an alarm clock, private ensuite bathroom, large closet, and a small electronic safe. Located downstairs is another bedroom with a queen-sized bed, private ensuite bathroom, a nightstand with reading lamp, large closet, and a flat-screen TV.

The expansive living room features two plush sofas (one of which folds into a sleeper sofa), a coffee table, glass kitchen table with six comfy chairs, and a flat-screen TV. If cooking is your passion, then you’ll love the fully-stocked kitchen, which includes a full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, coffee maker, toaster, and microwave.

You’ll want to take pictures at the Southernmost Point in the continental United States (only 3.5 blocks away), and fulfill all of your shopping desires at the dozens, if not hundreds, of shops and stores distributed along Duval Street and the adjoining streets.

One block away is Banana Cafe, a fantastic French restaurant for breakfast with crepes, baguettes, and croissants. The sandy shores of South Beach are just three blocks away, with the Southernmost Cafe right there for lunch. The best sushi in town is served at Origami, also located one block away. It’s all there for you, so come and enjoy!

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PROPERTY DOES NOT HAVE A PRIVATE POOL ON SITE, but you have access to a shared pool only 3 blocks away!

Location! Spacious and great porch
The location on Southern Duval is great! The porch for people watching was spacious and comfortable. Location is far enough from loud, hustle and bustle of bars but a short 10-15 minute walk to Sloppy Joe's and 20 mins to Mallory Square. Apartment was spacious and had a nice setup, needs a deep clean and maybe some paint refreshSquare.

Amazing Location
This is the second time I've used this rental, and although it is showing a little bit of wear, I wasn't disappointed. Comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, decently stocked kitchen (although the ice maker didn't cooperate), and plenty of towels (bath and beach). The balcony could use some new furniture/cushions and a deep cleaning, but even as it is, it's still a great place to spend the afternoon. The check-in/out process is seamless no matter what time you arrive and depart. Having a dedicated off-street parking spot is a huge benefit.

Nice time in KW
The unit is very nice, open, with a balcony, two bed and bathrooms...plenty of space and nicely set up for a get-a-way. Well located for activity on Duval Street. Sleeping in the upper bedroom/loft, while lovely, was a bit on noisier side as things like trash trucks and roosters (both in the early mornings) tend to reverberate and echo...regardless of how much poultry you eat while in KW.

Loved our stay
We had a great time at Cuban Paradise. The location is perfect to put you in the middle of all the fun Key West has to offer and the balcony was a great place to relax while seeing all the action. The property was great. Clean, easy access, and all the amenities needed to have the flexibility as if at home. Highly recommend

Location
We like the location of this property and enjoyed our stay. The only issue, and it is not a major issue, was with the pool; location is too far away and too small to accommodate the amount of guests who could use it.

Beautiful Duval St Condo
We've always wanted to stay Directly on Duval St and this property was a perfect choice. Clean, nicely furnished and lovely decor. The loft bedroom is wonderful and we loved the balcony with new rockers looking directly onto Duval. We enjoyed having Gelato across the street. Smart TV made for enjoyable watching since we could sign into our video accounts. Bathrooms were also well done. We are already planning our next stay, not that we wanted to leave when it was time.

Always nervous when you book no matter the pictures. But let me tell you, the pictures do not do this place justice. This is a great place to stay, lots of room and amenities. Check in was so quick and smooth, directions were perfect. The little extras from the supplies to the recommendations were spot on All set to reserve for next trip.

Awesome location
This property is situated just a few blocks from the hopping portion of Duval street. However it is just far enough to where every night is quiet and enjoyable. The property has a large balcony overlooking the street that is great for relaxing. The inside is spacious, clean and comfortable. I definitely recommend this place for your stay in key west.

This property was ideal for us in that it provided space and rest in between adventuring out and about Key West. Centrally located, yet on the “quieter end “ of Duval, this property was well maintained and very comfortable. Having had a love affair with Key West for nearly 40 years, we would definitely return to this spot for safe harbor.

Overall it was a nice place, great location. Balcony overlooks Duval Street which is great to sit on with coffee in the morning. AC works great, and the place was very roomy. Kitchen was good, but lacked a cutting board. Didn't do a lot of cooking, so it wasn't too much of an issue.

Great location on Duval! It is not on the busiest part of Duval but still a great area which we loved! Everything was as expected with easy access to shops and bars. We loved sitting on the front porch to people watch but the morning sun was brutal! We made wonderful memories here and would definitely stay again. Make sure you visit the Rum Bar across the street which is a hidden gem!
