Shared Pool + Backyard Lounge | Charming Cottage | Steps to Waterfront Dining | House in Key West
2 Bedroom House in Key West Historic District, Key West
Key West has a way of slowing everything down — the salt air, the swaying palms, the fact that the most stressful decision of your day is where to eat dinner. The Grinnell Cottage puts you right in the middle of all of it, tucked into a quiet compound in the heart of Old Town, one of the island's most storied and sought-after neighborhoods.
The cottage itself is cozy and full of character — light blue shiplap walls, hardwood floors, and teal accents that give it that unmistakable Keys feel without trying too hard. The open-concept layout keeps things airy and communal, with a full kitchen stocked for home-cooked meals, a dining table for four, and enough room for the whole group to settle in comfortably. A king bedroom, a queen bedroom, and a bonus flex room with a sleeper sofa means up to six guests can spread out without feeling on top of each other.
When you're ready to step outside, the shared pool and lounge area are right there — a low-key spot to decompress between adventures or to simply spend the whole afternoon doing nothing at all. And when the mood strikes? Everything Key West is famous for is within easy walking distance. Duval Street's bars, live music, and eclectic shops are just around the corner. The Historic Seaport, with its harborwalk and charter boats, sits at the end of Grinnell Street itself. Mallory Square sunsets, waterfront seafood, the Key West Butterfly Conservatory — it's all reachable on foot, no car required.
The Grinnell Cottage is Old Town living at its most approachable: honest, charming, and exactly the kind of place you'll want to come back to.

Ninety miles from the mainland and a world apart, Key West is one of America's most iconic island destinations — a sun-soaked, salt-kissed city where history, nightlife, natural beauty, and a genuinely anything-goes spirit collide in just seven square miles. The southernmost point of the continental United States has been drawing wanderers, writers, and free spirits for centuries, and it's easy to see why: the streets of Old Town are lined with pastel-painted Conch-style cottages, century-old banyan trees, and enough world-class restaurants and open-air bars to fill a week without repeating yourself. Whether guests are snorkeling above coral reefs, watching the sun melt into the Gulf at Mallory Square, cycling past the Hemingway House, or simply drifting between a cold drink and a warm pool, Key West delivers a brand of leisure that's impossible to replicate anywhere else in the country.
