Property Description

Discounts for OPEN dates in JANUARY!

This two-story Bahamian Colonial is a classic Key West style. It is located on Rose Lane, which runs just one block from Simonton to Duval. Rose Treehouse, a charming King bed and one-full bath studio that occupies the entire second floor, has balconies at the front and rear. Casa Antigua, the Casa next door on Simonton was Hemingway’s first island home. It is where he wrote Farewell to Arms in 1928. The lane runs parallel to Duval Street, which is the main avenue for entertainment on the island. This studio is the ideal place to anchor your vacation. But once inside, you'll discover even more reasons to love it.
Rose Treehouse is quiet and private despite its proximity to Duval. One guest said, "One block to Duval but we didn't hear any noise or craziness when inside or outside." This is a very special place.
Both the outside and interior are made of Dade County Pine. The second floor has open beam ceilings and polished hardwood floors. A wall of glass-paneled doors opens to a covered balcony. Imagine yourself enjoying the Key West's magical weather from this spot. It's the perfect place to relax, enjoy a meal, or just to socialize around the table as the sun moves through the water blue sky. The laundry closet, which houses a washer/dryer unit and a stackable washer/dryer, is accessible from the balcony. This is typical of island architecture. A colorful garden can be seen from the balcony.
The living room is an open plan layout with tropical ceiling fans and lots of natural light coming in through the windows and glass doors. The country kitchen has a cafe table and chairs that can be used for indoor dining. The kitchen is accented with blond cabinets, a tin backsplash in an embossed floral coin design and a tin tiles backsplash. You will find everything you need for meal preparation: stove, microwave, pots, pans, and counter space. There are over 200 restaurants in the area, so you might prefer to eat out most of your time. It's one the many delights of the island to offer so many options.
Two natural rattan armchairs with plump cushions are located next to the kitchen for comfortable TV viewing. There's also wireless high-speed Internet, cable and a DVD player. Ceiling fans are also available. The sleeping area is next, with its King bed and antique headboard reaching almost to the ceiling. The sleeping area has a door that leads to the front balcony. This is also covered and great for enjoying your morning coffee outside. The balcony has chairs, a table and a lamp. Ceiling fans make it a second room in good weather. A second door leads to the balcony via the tiled full bathroom that has a linen closet with drawers and drawers.
Once you have settled in at Rose Treehouse, unpacked your bags and put on your flip-flops you are ready to explore Duval. You can walk or cycle to all the places you want, so leave your car at the off-street parking. Duval runs 14 blocks across the island, from the Gulf of Mexico to the pier that juts out into the vast Atlantic Ocean. This street has many attractions that make the island famous and famous, including beaches, museums, watersports, shopping, bars and restaurants (many with open air seating, others right on the water). Key West is also home to many art galleries, music venues and playhouses.
After lunch and sightseeing, you might want to return to Rose Treehouse to take a refreshing dip in Rose Villas' shared pool. Then, enjoy a siesta on one the Treehouse balconies. Set your alarm for sunset before you go to sleep. You'll want to be there to watch the sun sink over the Gulf and the outer islands. Every once in a while, you might be able to see a brilliant green flash right as the orange ball of sun disappears. Enjoy the after-party, where street performers and artists entertain the crowd. If you prefer to experience sunset at sea, you can take a cruise on one of the harbor's tall vessels. You can sip spirits and eat hors d’oeuvres while your vessel takes you into sunsets unlike anything you have ever seen. A guidebook will give you more entertainment options than you can enjoy in one trip.
You can also find information about the current music scene, movies and plays, gallery openings and charitable events at milezerokeywest.com (calendar area) or in the printed publication Paradise which is available at various locations throughout town every Thursday.
