This property has it all! This award winning renovation has been completed recently and offers the styling of the original shot gun homes of Key West restored with a beautiful natural cypress exterior with the clean lines of a contemporary home. Each Twin opens to it's own semi-private deck and lounge area with steps into a large kidney shaped pool with waterfall. Inside the comfortable living room has a spiral staircase to the loft second bedroom with unique glass railing. Large windows in the kitchen bi-fold away to allow serving directly to the pool deck and capture the warm, tropical, Key West breezes. If cooking isn't for you on your vacation, stop by the Banana Cafe Restaurant or the Coffee and Tea house right next door. The Twins allow for great flexibility in your vacation planning. Rent this property as a one bedroom/one bath or add the loft or put it all together for a four bedroom/ two bath. (Pricing surcharges apply according to the number of bedrooms required.) Bedding: 2 queens
Had a lovely time at Pete's Cottage. Very clean, modern, good layout of the space. Lovely pool area, great location on the quiet end of Duval Street, but close to loads of restaurants and other points of interest. The kitchen had all amenities (even a blender!) although a cutting board and pair of kitchen scissors would have been helpful. Comfy beds, but we'd suggest that it is time to purchase some new linens and pillow. Some were very old and thin, and others had some stains on them (I think they've been washed in the on site washing machine, which are not at their best.) Not a major issue, but still, an easy fix. Good closet space (but oddly no hangers were provided. Small thing, but kind of important when you're staying somewhere for a week!) We would definitely go back to Pete's and would recommend it to others.
Wonderful location 1/2 block off of the quiet end of Duval Street and the Banana Cafe. The inside is small but it offered almost everything we needed. Warning: no grill outside. The pool was very nice and we were lucky that the second rental house was rarely occupied. I would strongly suggest you rent both Pete's locations so that he sharing of the pool isn't. Problem. Wi-fi is not in this cottage and the signal is very weak;however, the rental company reset and moved it to the kitchen window and it did improve-but still a weak signal.
Everything was excellent. Only down side was a shared pool which I didn't realize at booking.
Everything I expected. Only comment I have is that the stairs to the loft need to be redone. They are narrow, shaky and loud. Possibly dangerous. Besides that, very nice place to stay. Definitely would stay there again.
Pete's cottage was clean and updated. The location perfect for us. Right off Duval, on the south end. Close enough to walk to everything...including Goombay and Fantasy Fest activities. But far enough off to be quiet and peaceful when you needed it. Wi-fi worked great. Could use updated TVs, but we didn't mind as we didn't watch much at all. The pool is beautiful and was heated. The upstairs loft is beautiful, but the staircase is a bit challenging. Small, spiral staircase. We elected to stay downstairs (just the 2 of us). Really happy with the rental!
The stay at Pete's West Cottage was perfect. It is an ideal location away from the noise at night and yet still close enough to everything withing minutes by scooter or walking. The washer/dryer was not operational, but not a major issue since Rent Key West Vacations provided pick up service.
The washer and dryer is now fixed and operational.
Pete's cottage was exactly as the pictures showed. It was very clean, newly remodeled and very comfortable. It is a bit far from Front street but is quiet at night because of that. If you can get a group of 8, rent both cottages for a good time. The pool is shared but we had no problems with this. Would definately recommend this to friends and family. Thank you
This was a great space for a couple of girls who just needed a home-base for the weekend. It is just off of Duval Street, but on the quieter end. The coffee shop on the corner is phenomenal, and it is so easy to get around by foot or bicycle. The property was clean and very relaxing. The only a few things that were an issue. The air conditioning unit that turned on and off throughout the day--it made so much noise that it woke me up every time it turned on. The unit is right near the bed in loft. Also, if you need darkness to sleep in, make sure you get the downstairs bedroom--the loft is very bright in the morning because of the sky light. Also, the spiral staircase, while charming, is extremely rickety. Not in an un-safe manner, but it is metal and makes a tremendous amount of noise unless you tip-toe up and down very slowly. One of my friends ended up sleeping on the couch and I was always afraid I was going to wake her when I had to get up in the middle of the night. Otherwise, the beds were extremely comfortable, there was plenty of hot water for showers, having laundry facilities was useful, and the pool was beyond fantastic. I spent most of my time lounging by (and in) the pool. I would stay here again... as long as I got the downstairs bedroom! If you had a large group, renting both of the cottages would make for a really fantastic stay.
probably the best place to stay in center key west
We got there and noticed right away how warm it was in the house. we called the next day to see if we could get the air conditioner fixed. They sent a maintenance man who told us it was frozen then left and never came back we called two more times and no response. I broke out with a heat rash and two of the four people got heat sick. We called for the assess code to use the wi-fy we left two messages and never got a response. For the money we gave them 2,100 for a week we expected better service and were greatly disappointed. We go there twice a year and will never rent from them again. we were promised a small refund and have not herd back from them yet. I would recommend the last place we spent the week at the Mahogany House.
Rent Key West Vacations Steve Rue and the staff are great people to deal with from the first call I made to them everyone had my interest at heart to make sure my stay at Pete's Cottage was a great one. As for Pete's cottage itself was just right for us very clean and well stocked with dishes and other items.the pool was large and clean landscaping was well maintained. Having a washer and dryer out near the pool was nice also.The location just a stone throw off of Duval south end was a plus parking was on the street but when you are in Key West you should park the car and rent bikes to get around. there are 2 Pete's cottages so if you have a large group you can rent both and have the whole place to yourself we were lucky and had great neighbors during our stay.We will defiantly stay here again and use Rent Key West as our agent of choice.
We have rented there for years. We love the shared pool. The only let down this year was a family with 3 young children allowed them to run around the pool and play loudly. Usually adults use the pool quietly and respect each other's space.
We looked long and hard for the perfect place stay during our week long vacation in Key West for New Years. We couldn't have been more satisfied. Pete's Cottage was perfect. It is located just off Duval Street right behind the Coffee and Tea House Key West (which came in handy on New Years morning!). We rented bikes from near by Tropical Bicycle two blocks away. While it was unseasonally cool, we still enjoyed the heated pool. We were also able to walk to sun rise pier in the morning and also to Mallory Square for sunsets. The team from Rent KW is great: our room did not have foam pillows or a top blanket when we arrived and they delivered them right away. We look forward to our stay next December.
House has a wonderful pool in the backyard, perfect for lounging. It is right off Duval but very quiet. The weather was great and we really enjoyed our stay. The circular metal stairs to the loft are a bit narrow and make alot of noise and I would suggest putting a mirror in the upstairs loft bedroom
We were married on Smathers Beach by Geri LaGotta and spent a week having a great time on Louisa St. and exploring Duval St. Twilight cruise on the Danger Schooner was fabulous.
The description and pictures on the Rent Key West website are spot on, and the service was great. We found Pete's West to be a great, charming little cottage in a fantastic location close to everything. It suited the two of us perfectly for what we were looking for during our first trip to Key West. The few little things that weren't perfect (i.e., TV remote for living room TV didn't work, one of the kitchen drawers was broken) didn't bother us at all. More importantly for us, it had attractive and modern finishes and decor (nothing fancy but didn't need to be), it was certainly clean enough, the kitchen was very functional, the A/C was great, and having a washing machine and dryer was a big plus. Outside, it's not totally private as the pool is shared (if someone is staying next door) and there is a balcony at an adjacent property that overlooks the pool and garden. I'm sure parking might be a challenge during a busier time of year but we were able to park directly in front of the cottage as of the second day of our stay and since we were only there a week, we didn't use the car at all after that. Instead we rented bikes and used them as our main mode of transportation during our entire stay. Overall, a great experience.
Petes Cottage was all I expected and more! In all my travels and vacations, I have yet to actually arrive and get exactly what I expected. The photographs and description were very accurate and the staff at Rent Key West were extremely helpful and friendly. Petes Cottage was very contemporary, but cottage like, very welcoming and accommodating. Linens were like new and kitchen was equipped well with all of the pots, pans, dishware and accessories needed to eat in. The place was spotless and like new. Includes a front porch and a back porch -- from the kitchen/dinning area French doors welcome you onto to a deck that steps down onto a patio surrounding a large pool with a waterfall. The pool is literally steps away from the kitchen! In addition, Petes Cottage is steps away from Duvall Street. Shopping, dinning all at your fingertips and accessible by walking. I had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this rental. Cant wait to go back
well situated house meagre for the price - could have had better furniture. barely enough dishes to accomodate 3 people, needed more dish clothes, etc for kitchen cleanup, toilet paper should be supplied for the full week. Almost impossible to read by the reading lights. I would look for another property in the future. We booked at last minute but this is very expensive for a relatively inadequate house The pool was nice
