Please read reviews. People have left and judge for yourself..
Key West is old and historic when
The homes were built-in this area. Parking was always on the sides of the street and is FREE.
A great way to see the island however, is by bicycle plus there are so many different kinds of vehicles you can rent it is amazing.

SO.........

Come splash in the surf. Come soak up the heat of the Sun. Come feel salt water mist on your skin as you take a sunset sail! Come listen to the beat of the reggae drums. Come feel the loose sand in your feet as you sway to its rhythm. Feel alive and vibrant.
CARPE DIEM!.
You will be staying at Varela Street Retreat. Only a beautiful half-mile walk from the beach.
My place has a full kitchen with full size refrigerator and stove. A complete dining area and a living room/bedroom combination and bathroon. You also have your own large private patio.The 1/2 mile walk straight down the street to the public beach is lovely.
The beach also has a nice small restaurant onsite.
You will love staying in this great location where 90% of the residents are local. They each have an interesting Key West tale to tell and are a very warm, friendly and diverse group. Here you will absorb the ambiance that made Key West what it is today.
Varela St. Retreat is located in historic Old Town away from the bustle on famous Duval Street. It is only half a mile to the closest beach and a 7 minute walk to Duval Street. It is less that one block to the White Street art gallery district, the grocery, the laundry, the largest city park,restaurants, shops, bike rental shop and more.
Go ahead, kick your feet up and make yourself at home! You are about to enter Varela St. Retreat. Here you will meander back a secluded stone pathway to reach your very own private, spacious stone patio complete with lush overhanging tropical vegetation.
A table and chairs and plants
await you. You can dine out and soak up the warm inviting Florida sunshine,chat with your friends or just catch up on some reading. The front room of your apartment is a combination of a full kitchen and a separate dining/office area. The back room has a queen-size bed and a living area complete with a sleeper sofa. The bathroom has a stall shower. The apartment has all new ceramic tile and wood laminate flooring.
Varela St. Retreat offers FREE parking right on the sides of the street in designated areas. First come first serve.

Also, ask me about a pool hook up if needed. So please come and make Varela St Retreat your temporary home while away from home!

Ac is sufficient. Kitchen is what you need it to be. Bathroom and shower are what you need them to be. Location is great for being away from the hustle and bustle when you want to be, but close enough for an impromptu turtle trip at midnight!

Key West vacay

We really enjoyed our stay..the little guest house was cute and exactly what it advertised. The bed could have been a little softer and a little more cleaning in the unit wouldnt hurt either..the only other thing, is there was not enough bike parking. Overall everything was good, location, noise, food etc.

This was a great location and easy place to stay. We were able to walk to many locations in Old Town. The new updates are a nice addition to this location. Fresh paint, refrigerator, A/C and the patio is a great place to relax.
