Casita de Catherine by AvantStay | 1 Block to Duval St w/ Hot Tub!

Casita de Catherine is a hidden gem! Enjoy Island life and live like a local in this perfect cottage on a quiet street in Key West. A welcoming outdoor space with a relaxing feel, this rental features a private hot tub for outdoor entertainment.

The rear entry into this quaint cottage has French doors that open to rich terracotta flooring through the kitchen and living areas. Rustic wooden cabinets are filled with everything you need for a home-cooked meal. The inviting king-sized canopy bed is sure to provide a good night's rest in the bedroom just off the living room and behind a beautiful glass-paneled door.
Enjoy this private home of a local author. Come stay on the island where everyday writers write, roosters crow, and the sun shines. There is nowhere in the world like Key West. Located less than one block off Duval Street, near the famous La Te Da restaurant and bar, and a few blocks from The Southernmost Point.

Key West is the place to visit the lively nightlife and relax in the historic charm, flamboyance, and conch-style architecture that early Bahamian settlers made famous. It embodies a clash of the past and the present, and every building (including this rental) in Key West reflects this eclectic ambiance!

AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips!

Great Place and Location!!

If you're looking for a great place close to the action, this is the place. It's a quiet spot to recharge from all the local activity. Cooking, sleeping, and lounging...inside and out was terrific. Hot tub was fantastic, enjoyed with coffee in the morning and wine at night. Our little mini dachshund was with us and had a terrific time too with the outdoor area being enclosed. You will love this gem!!

Great Location!

We really enjoyed the location of this house— it was very clean and mostly updated. Lots of generous and thoughtful touches including personal supplies in case you forgot something. Suggestions for things to do and restaurants to try were also very helpful! I would recommend this place to singles or couples. The 3rd person in our group had to use the sofa sleeper and it got a bit congested in there, but it was ok.

Casita de Catherine

Wonderful stay! Patio area was so private, even though it was small and closely surrounded by other buildings. 2 drawbacks- some of the pillows stunk and needed cleaning. Also a neighbor’s security light shines directly on the person on the right side of the bed (shines thru the transom and even thru the French door to the bedroom).

Cute and great location

Casita de Catherine was very clean. It is right next to the main road - Duval St - and near many attractions. You can walk almost everywhere except to Mallory Square area which is a bit far. The deck area and hot tub were delightful. The hosts went above and beyond with extra necessities in the bathroom, well-stocked kitchen and great labels throughout the unit explaining where everything is. I definitely recommend this unit. The only "issue" I had was the neighbor's night spotlight which shines directly onto the bed. Closing the bedroom door helps somewhat.
