Description

The cottage is a cozy hideaway. The poolside area is picture-postcard perfect. The location is in the very heart of Key West's Old Town, a half a block off the world-famous Duval Street. In short, Ann Street Gardens offers the quintessential indoor/outdoor vacation experience you've come to the island to enjoy.

(Ann Street Gardens is a 16+ compound. Regretfully, NO Children under 16 allowed.) Owner may consider ONE SMALL dog. Contact Office for details.

This residence has one bedroom, one full bath, a small kitchen, a living area, and a dining space. But first you'll want to open the doorway from the living room onto the delightful enclosed patio, which then opens to the main attraction-an exquisitely maintained poolside paradise. The pool and landscaped garden area are reserved for the exclusive use of residents of the small enclave your cottage is part of. Chairs, small tables, chaise lounges, and wicker chairs around glass-top tables dot the landscape. Hidden in among the surroundings are more tables and chairs. From any spot you can observe sunshine playing through palm fronds creating a pattern of shadow and bright sparkle over the pool surface. If you look up, you're likely to spot a flock of water birds flying over. Swim, float, sit on the side, and dangle your feet in the refreshing water. Maybe relax in the sun to develop a tan. Or select the shade of a tree for your resting spot where your biggest decision might be whether to read or nap or ponder where you'll go for your next meal.

If you're in the mood for total privacy, you can enjoy the same glorious Key West weather from your enclosed brick patio, part of which is covered and part open to the sky. This area is sizable, really like another room of the cottage, almost doubling the livable square footage. Closest to the house is a small round table with lamp and two chairs under a generous overhang. A little further, in an uncovered area, is a gas grille. Antique bricks under foot and artful arrangements of plants and vases enhance the garden atmosphere. Up two stairs brings you to the second covered area with vaulted ceiling where you'll find a table suitable for serving a meal for one to four. Directly across is a cushioned wicker rocker and large rattan sideboard with six drawers. Above, a Caribbean style ceiling fan with light creates a gentle air flow and illumination for the evening hours. This is definitely the spot where you could barbeque some fresh fish and enjoy it al fresco with a glass or two of chilled wine. Or maybe go out to dinner and return to the patio to spend a few balmy hours sipping cognac under a canopy of stars.

The inside of Ann Street Gardens starts with the living area that includes a wall of glass overlooking the patio. This and other oversized windows throughout fill the cottage with lovely filtered sunlight and views of tropical greenery. The conversation setting includes a deep couch that also serves as a pull-out full bed, an ottoman that doubles as a coffee table, end tables with lamps, and an overstuffed armchair. The opposite wall holds a large flat-screen TV perfectly placed for viewing from the couch or chair. Under that is a brightly painted hutch that adds color, an artistic touch, and storage space. At the end of the room you'll find a small dining table and two chairs nicely placed beside a wall of glass that give you a congenial view as you enjoy a meal here.

Nearby a doorway opens into the bedroom with queen bed flanked by bedside tables with lamps. Above the bed, a Casablanca-type ceiling fan provides air circulation and light. The room is embellished with art work, two windows, and wall mirror that reflects the romantic scene back onto itself. A flat-screen TV is nicely positioned on an opposite wall for watching the news or latest episode of Nurse Jackie from the bed. An armoire in one corner offers plenty of space for your hanging items and four drawers for folding items. Near the rear wall is the entrance to the en suite full bath, which features colorful tile flooring, shelving, and a well-lit mirror over the sink so you can easily check on your tan lines.

The kitchen is small but perfectly functional with storage drawers, stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker, and blender. Again windows on two walls and a cloud white color scheme make this room light and airy and a pleasure to be in.

Your vacation accommodations are just the beginning-the whole of America's only Caribbean island awaits. Since Ann Street Gardens provides off-street parking, you'll find it ever so convenient to leave the car and walk or bike everywhere. For example the Historic Seaport and Boardwalk is over just one block. Follow the wooden walkway along the Key West Historic Seaport to find tall ships offering day and sunset cruises out into the Gulf of Mexico or take an all-day ferry excursion to the Dry Tortugas. If you're interested in watersports, you'll find diving, fishing, parasailing, snorkeling, and jet skiing close at hand. If you get hungry, a dozen or so restaurants of varying levels of informality ring the harbor. Maybe sit under a banyan tree filled with tiny white lights at funky Schooner Wharf while you eat a fresh Mahi sandwich, listen to local musicians, and gaze out at a harbor full of boats of all descriptions. Or for a higher vantage point, try the rooftop bar at Turtle Kraals.

From the Seaport, the world famous Duval Street with its tours, museums, shops, restaurants, and bars is only a block away. Before you walk too far, be sure to check your cell phone for sunset time so you don't miss the daily celebration at Mallory Square. And leave time to hang around for the after party as artists and street performers entertain the crowd with carnival acts, food, and drink. Maybe you've already heard about Dominique and his Flying House Cats, a feline troupe of alley cats that jumps through hoops of fire, walks tightropes, and performs other astounding circus feats.

To know what's going on from day to day, check out Historic Hideaways' informative Events page on their website. Other information on the current music scene, movies, plays, gallery openings, and charitable events can be found at milezerokeywest.com (calendar section) or in the print publication Paradise, which is available at various locations around town every Thursday.

Free delivery and setup (over $75) of beer/wine/liquor is available from Kwest Liquors, 705 Duval Street. Historic Hideaways guests receive a discount on pricing. Order in advance and have your vacation home fully stocked upon arrival. Contact the Historic Hideaways office in advance for details.

Bungalow was terrific, pool, patio and garden were beautiful. Location can't be beat. Late check in was smooth and easy. Only issues were being asked to strip beds and bring to laundry! 1st we're guests, paying a rather good rate, not employees! Broom clean and general tidiness to be expected but not more. Checkout was disappointing at 11AM on a Sat. you'd expect staff in the office since Sat. should be a busy day for both check in and check out -yet no staff. We enjoyed everything about our stay, but feel some polish is needed on the items mentioned.
Manager Response:
Thank you for your feedback. For future Guests: We ask that beds are stripped, but you leave the sheets right on the floor, no need to wash them. Our office does not open until noon on Saturdays. We are closed Sundays. (All of this information and much more is provided with your contract paperwork.)

We will recommend Historic Hideaways to all of our friends!

This property is perfect for a couple who want to be very close to the action of Duval Street but also want a very private property with a tropical atmosphere. The grounds were beautiful & well maintained. The cottage was very clean. Tim was professional, helpful & provided lots of information about Key West. We will recommend Historic Hideaways to all of our friends!

Everything was perfect (except the pool was too cold to use) for my wife & I to spend a second honeymoon. 1 block from Duval but extremely private as well with off street parking spot. Perfect for 2. Great pool patio. Great covered patio as well. If youre going to Key West, want to be in the middle of everything without anyone knowing it. This is the place. Loved it. Will be back.

We would stay here again.

This one bedroom one bath cottage is located in a very good location. A half block off Duval, less than five minute walk to Faustos Food Palace for a few groceries, very close to Harbour Walk. Yes, the kitchen is small however it is workable and is equipped very very well. The private patio was a real bonus. We were not bothered by early or late night noise when inside the house. The pillows were fine and the bed comfortable. We would stay here again.

I am going back to this one! Historic Hideaways was easy to deal with and very helpful. That's just an extra...this cottage was perfect. There were just 2 of us and the size of the 1BR cottage was exactly what we needed. The outdoor space is a dream. We met a nice couple at the pool one afternoon, but it was the only time we saw anyone. We spent hours in or by the pool. Again perfect. The crown jewel of this perfect cottage is it's location w/a parking space! No off street parking!! I lived in KW for a while so I know the lay of the land. To find a location just behind Sloppy Joes, almost at the corner of Greene and Ann WITH a parking spot. It doesn't get better than that...PERFECT.

Perfect location w/ all the amenities you will need !

Where do I start? This little cottage is a hidden gem. Perfect for a couple! It was clean, comfortable, convenient and was equipped with everything you could possibly want. Check-in and check-out on Duval was super easy! The kitchen, although small, is equipped with all the necessities - dish soap, dish towels, micro, coffee pot, toaster, blender, lots of pots/pans, utensils galore, plates/glasses, etc. Oh and it has a stove/oven but we did NO cooking! Just to clarify a few things I read on earlier reviews: kitchen windows now have mini blinds, bedroom has a beautiful white comforter, bedroom has a very nice size armoire for hanging clothes (equipped w/ plenty hangers), shelves and drawers for clothing, 2 nightstands on each side of bed (we stored our luggage on the side of each nightstand), bathroom is small but was never a problem - it has a "medicine cabinet" behind the mirror to store your things and tub seemed to be refinished. I loved the small personal touches of pump hand soap provided @ sink and in bathroom, as well as a roll of paper towels and several rolls of toilet paper to start our stay. Lots of bath towels provided so we never had to wash although there is a coin operated washer/dryer outside around the corner in the enclosed backyard. We drank our coffee every morning on the outside patio under a ceiling fan. We spent every afternoon cooling off in the beautiful pool. Even though it is shared, we only encountered one other very nice couple on maybe 2 days. Most of the time we had the pool to ourselves and it was literally "in our backyard". My only "con" is the landscaping definitely needs some TLC. It's a bit overgrown for my taste and we had several iguanas visit us (from a distance) everyday. Although I was scared @ 1st I quickly realized they were definitely more scared of me! Noise was never a problem. Yes we heard chickens every morning and yes we heard the squeaky automatic gate across the street. But neither of those would prevent us from staying here again. Loved it !!!

A hidden gem - clean, comfortable and convenient. Check-in and check-out on Duval super easy. Bedroom has armoire with plenty of storage for hanging clothes (hangers incl) and both shelf and drawer space. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom small but not a problem. Mirror had storage behind it. Kitchen equipped w/ everything needed but we did no cooking. Used the coffee pot and microwave only. Kitchen windows now have mini blinds. Pool access was just a few steps we swam every day. The location was perfect!

Right in the heart of Key West life. Major bars, restaurants, boat tours right there. Great master, 2nd bed is a pullout and my son put mattress on floor to sleep. TVs lacked clarity, probably should be replaced. Patio with grill was super, pool area pleasant and private. Would definitely stay here again.

The process from renting to checking in and out could not be better or smoother. Tim and his assistants are very friendly, pleasant and helpful. The home is perfect for two. It has all you need for a pleasant stay. I, personally, would have preferred a bigger bed (and were not big) which, I think, could fit in the bedroom, and more towels. The furniture and tv are fine, and the inside patio is a gem, as is the pool and pool area. The location, location is incredible! Could not be better: in the middle of everything in every direction, one block from Duval and Sloppy Joes, yet quiet as can be! Will return at every chance.

Rental Home was very nice.

My husband and I have stayed in several places in Old Town KW. This little spot is a hidden gem. It is quirky KW at its finest! Perfect location for a couple just wanting to get away and relax, yet close enough to the best Duval Street has to offer. Would definitely recommend this location and Historic Hideaways. As always, they never disappoint. The easiest booking process on the Island. Tim and crew will take great care of you during your stay.

We absolutely loved the Ann Street cottage we rented. It was decorated very nice with stained concrete floor. The covered patio with grill was great. The pool I. The back was surprisingly large and deep with gorgeous landscaping. Even though we were right behind Sloppy Joes the home was private and the pool area was quite and very relaxing. We will definitely be booking again!!!

The home on Ann Street offers a relaxing stay near the marina and Duval Street with easy bike access to the southern points of the island. The kitchen is well stocked and the covered patio offers a grill and plenty of outdoor privacy. Through the patio doors is a spacious pool with very little traffic and a shady canopy. Tim from Historic Hideaways was helpful and friendly, accommodating us with propane, keys, directions and so on. Early morning garbage trucks are loud enough to wake you from your sleep here; otherwise, the location is tranquil yet only steps away from all the action. We loved our stay.

Close to amenities and great pool. Enjoyed the outside space, which was great for drying towels etc even when it rained as it's undercover. The proximity to Duval was great for short walks to dinner and Mallory Square, but when the garbage trucks collected the bottles from the bars opposite the rental from 4am onwards, this significantly impacted our ability to sleep. We also expected a higher specification within the property for the price (no headboard, lack of kitchen space, chipped flooring, no hoover, basic appliances). Overall, we enjoyed our stay but the property is let down by some key factors.

A neat, tucked away cottage for your get-a-way!

Ann Street is a small back street a half block from Duval and just "behind" old city hall. Virtually all of old town/Mallory Sq. is within walking distance. A neat, tucked away cottage for your get-a-way! Covered outdoor eating/relaxing areas that open up on to the pool was just what we love about this place.

Cottage is so charming and located at very heart of old Key West.

We're beautifully taken care of. Cottage is so charming and located at very heart of old Key West. At the same time, outdoor covered patio and grounds make you feel like you're in a jungle

We loved the Ann Street Garden cottage! It was the perfect size for a couple on vacation. The kitchen had everything we needed for equipment and even had some spices, and oil left for cooking. The living room was good size and had a wonderful view of the pool. The bathroom was decent size and the water pressure was good. Bedroom had plenty of storage in the armoire for our hanging clothes and folding clothes.The porch area was lovely and private for morning coffee, or you could sit out by the pool at the table and enjoy the landscaping around the pool.The cottage was in a quiet and peaceful location even though it was a block from Duval street. The location was perfect to get to the best parts of Duval street and the waterfront.We would definitely rent this cottage again!

Nice clean house with great location to downtown.

Nice clean house with great location to downtown. Although it was right down town it was very quite and peaceful ! Pool was perfect for cooling off and relaxing in the afternoons. Highly recommend and will be staying there again in the future.

Key West's Best-Kept Secret

I honestly hesitated to write this review because I want to keep it all to myself. My husband and I are unwilling transplants, having lived in Key West until about 6 years ago. We still spend a lot of time there, fortunately, and we have stayed many places, including other properties in the Ann Street compound. First of all, the compound is my favorite place on the Island to stay. It's steps from Duval but a world apart. The Ann Street Garden property is the most amazing place. It's magical and perfect, comfortable and casual, with every possible convenience. When I go to my "happy place" in my mind, it's this home. Historic Hideaways is a dream to work with too. No drama, simple and easy. I adore them almost as much as this property.

Private getaway yet in the middle of everything!!!

This is our 22nd year of staying in the Keys, 13th year of strictly staying in Key West. We stay for a little over a week so vacation rentals are ideal - not to keen on hearing housekeeping knocking on doors every morning. Check in is a breeze with Historic Hideaways. The guys in the office took good care of us. The fan in the outdoor room was broken and Bill had a maintenance man here first thing the next morning to fix it. This little cottage has everything you will need. Nicely equipped little kitchen but I too covered up the windows with two tea towels. At night it's a clear view from the pool area into the kitchen. Could use some window coverings. Not much storage, had to put everything on top of or inside the fridge. Wifi is in the kitchen - had to unplug it once to reboot but no other problems with it. Nice sized bedroom and smallish bath. The cute baskets in the bathroom helped to have a place for each other's toiletries. I wasn't quite sure about the comforter (seemed to have some questionable stains...) so I switched it out for an extra one that was provided and threw the red one in the washer the next day. Nice wardrobe closet in the bedroom that had plenty of space for both of us but absolutely no other space for luggage or storage. We found a few places to tuck our bags and get them out of the way. One word of advise, if you can fit your our pillow in your luggage...do it. Lots of pillows were provided but they were ALL the hard flat kind...no fluffiness and no maneuvering for a side sleeper. That was a bummer. Hubby brought his own pillow and I swiped it every morning when he left to go fishing. You do hear the trash guys gathering up the bottles from the night before at 4am'ish but it doesn't last long and they move on down the road... All and all this is a comfy place. You do have the home field advantage when it comes to the pool, it is right out side the back door and you can pick your time to hang out. If you want company or quiet, you can always see who's there and pick out the sunny spots. I liked that for sure! While we were here the pool water was nice and comfy and the area was kept clean and beautiful. It looks like there might have been a flood or something that broke up some of the beautiful concrete floor after the pictures were taken, but no biggie. Hopefully we will be staying here again next year...

Everything there that you need, pool awesome, only annoying thing was the 4am garbage pickup for the bars on Duvall street. Beautiful property, comfortable bed (new), bathtub was refinished.The noise level was tolerable was the front door was closed. Would consider staying there again when coming call to KW.

The home was perfect for a couple!

Tim was great, a pleasure to work with. Thanks again Tim. The home was perfect for a couple! The location on Ann street is the side of town I enjoy the most. Truck traffic in the morning could be bothersome to some, but didn't bother us. I really enjoyed the inside outside patio with grill, and the backyard pool. The central air and plumbing works great at the house. I've stayed at places in Key West before where that is an issue. Overall a wonderful place!

Probably the best rental location

Historic Hideaways provides excellent service for a carefree rental. Ann St. Garden is located near enough to everything (Duval, Mallory Sq.Z. Taylor State Park etc) that you never need a car. Although close to everything Key West, the property is extremely quiet. The Garden area and pool make it ideal for those who wish quiet restful time. The home itself has everything you need from well furnished kitchen, comfortable living areas with good TV's and enough outside furniture to match any persons needs

The Ann St cottage was perfect for our Key West vacation. We parked our car when we arrived and walked everywhere on the island until we left, using the hop-on, hop-off trolley to get around. What we loved best about this property is the outdoor room. It is large and private, making it very comfortable. We ate all of our meals outside! The kitchen is well-equipped and we established a pattern of walking to the nearby seafood market daily - we steamed local lobster at home, grilled tuna and grouper and enjoyed stone crab claws each evening. It was an awesome and affordable way to experience Florida's seafood. One disappointment was that the pool water was too cold to swim and, in November, the daily sunshine did not reach our pool area.

Could not have been better!

Check-in with Bill was a breeze. He provided the excellent advice that we should see which items (paper plates, soaps, trash bags, etc.) were already in the rental before we went shopping. The rental itself was very clean and contained everything we needed for the visit. The location could not be beat. We were quickly to our destinations whenever we went out. The grounds were quiet and the pool area contained lush tropical landscaping, which created a wonderful environment when we sat out there. The pool itself was large, clean and seemed to never be too warm or cold - so I assume it was temperature regulated. Highlights of the rental were the covered outdoor patio with ceiling fan and large comfortable living room. We have been coming to Key West for several years and this is easily our favorite rental in terms of size, amenities and location. I really have no negative comments about our experience.
