About this cottage rental
Located in The Colony, a secluded, gated enclave just steps from Duval Street, Colony Sunset is a colorful and relaxing retreat. Walk up the flagstone path and enter the home through the vivid and cheerful living space, accented with cerulean blue walls and splashes of tropical art. A vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and huge transom windows that extend all the way to the tip of the roof add a bright and airy feeling to the cozy space. Just through the French doors lies a private deck for sunning, relaxing and al fresco dining.
The fully appointed kitchen is attached to the living area and features a sit-down bar, charming open shelving and a bright color scheme.
The bedroom is painted in soothing blue tones and features cathedral ceilings, a king size bed, and flat screen television.
Just outside the front door is a porch with Adirondack chairs for enjoying a morning Cuban coffee or a twilight glass of wine amongst the palm trees. The huge Colony swimming pool, which is shared with other residents, is located just steps away. Beaches, shopping, and award-winning restaurants are just a short walk or bike ride from your front door.

Overall good. AC in living area not cool from an afternoon till next morning, but we weren’t in the room that much during that time frame.
Completely nude male sunbather at the pool wasn’t that nice which made us not want to use pool while he was out there.

Nice property. Sc window units are too loud for sleeping. Outside landscape lights put too much lighting into the bedroom even thru the curtains

It was very nice and comfortable. We could get to every thing in town easily. We walked and biked and used a golf cart. We really enjoyed key west.

We would definitely stay at this cottage again. Decorated darling and very clean. It’s a quaint little colony and everyone we met were extremely nice and helpful. Since it was our first time visiting the Keys we appreciated the assistance. The only issue is parking but we rented a golf cart and parking is difficult anywhere in the Keys so that can’t be helped

This place was perfect for my husband & I. It was small, but fit our needs. Loved that we could bring our dog with us. The shared pool was nice to have & all the other guest were friendly. The maintenance people are always working hard to make sure the property is kept nice.

The interior of the accommodation was exactly what we expected from the website. The exterior was a bit confusing as we thought it was going to be a small cottage with the exterior of the house on the website. The pool was immaculate and property well kept. Convenient location to downtown Duval and local grocery store. Overall we had an excellent vacation in Key West. Thank you!

This is a perfect place to enjoy a nice relaxing vacation. It's tucked in among other bungalows but still private. The decor is nicely done and not a lot of decorative clutter to get in the way of your own personal items. Everything you need is included for your convenience. The pool is also refreshing and very clean!
The place is centrally located to anywhere you would like to go in Key West. You can walk or rent bicycles and get to just about everywhere if a few minutes.
We would definitely stay here again!

Once again (we are repeat renters) I do not want to write a review that will entice people to book. We want to come back. Joking aside, beautiful, quiet, well appointed and perfect oasis in downtown key west. Clean, bright, private and comfy. We will be back.

This property is a really cool spot. It’s perfect for a couple trying to get away and relax. Its nestled back with 4-5 other bungalows, in a perfect spot. We had issues when we first arrived getting the key code into courtyard, but that was quickly fixed with a call. The rental agency mentioned their software was glitching a tad and apologized for the issue, but it was no big deal at all. The place is well within walking distance to the best attractions in Key West. We didn’t rent a car or bike and could easily get everywhere we wanted to go. We would 100% stay here again when we come back.

10.0 / 10.0
Wonderful location just a couple blocks from Duval Street. Loved the quite secluded charm with the added entry door to the courtyard which gave the feel of your own little resort. Pool was wonderful after a hot day out. Beautiful trees and landscaping, great for having coffee on your private deck/porch. Well equipped kitchen for basic cooking. Comfortable bed and upgraded bathroom with nice shower. The only suggestion would be to upgrade the kitchen counter from the old tile, such as other units in the Colony have done. And perhaps replace the kitchen shelves with some cabinets. Otherwise a cute and comfortable unit.

The property was clean and conveniently located. Close to all the great locations Key West has to offer, but still quiet and quant. The pool was great! Clean and well-maintained. Communication with the hosts was easy and they were very responsive. We enjoyed our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This quaint, quiet, lovely maintained property is situated within walking/bike riding distance to everything. The pool is wonderfully kept with both sun and shade spots to enjoy. The unit had everything we needed and seemed more spacious than anticipated. The decor was cheery and welcoming. I lost a a favourite bathing suit (still MIA) and the property manager was very nice to follow up in the midst of an impending hurricane. We will definitely return to this lovely oasis in Key West.

Cute Cottage
The cottage was cozy and clean. I would recommend staying here for people that will be sharing the king size bed. The sleeper sofa is hopelessly uncomfortable....my kiddo would rather sleep on the floor. It really shouldn't count as a bed. The cottage is so close to everything and generally quiet. The pool is great! Just right after a hot summer day around town.

Clean, comfortable, great location, easy check in and out, and the pool was the cherry on top! Will absolutely stay here again! The only thing I can recommend is provide some bottled waters for the first day.

Honeymoon or Perfect escape
We stayed here for our honeymoon. It was perfect! We could, and did, walk everywhere from our cabin, 15 minutes in either direction we were either at the southernmost buoy or our favorite coffee shop (The Funky Rooster) by Mallory square.

We stayed at the colony sunset suite for 3 nights end of March. When we landed at the airport I called the office to see if it was available for early check in which it was so we went straight there. All the door codes were emailed before hand so you have access wether you arrive after office hours or not. FYI office is about 3 blocks from the Colony. Unit was well equipped for my wife and I and we were able to use the pool pretty much to ourselves a couple days. I think there are about 8-10 units that share it. Nice Quiet neighborhood and roughly a 15-20 min walk to the sloppy joe area of Duval. There are about 5 parking spots in the lot that are first come first serve but more on the street. We rented a scooter and had no problem finding a spot to squeeze it in. On checkout day we had a later flight out so we were able to drop our luggage at their office 3 blocks away so we didn’t have to carry them with us. Overall would definitely recommend and stay here again!

We absolutely loved our suite, the pool, the location. The only negative thing: we ran out of Kleenex and toilet paper and had to go and buy our own, otherwise everything about our stay here was amazing!

Perfect set-up and location for everything we wanted to do. We were able to check-in early. Only glitch was missing gate code to get into the complex. Tenant took pity and let us in.

We've stayed here before and enjoy it. The location is great, it's comfortable, and well maintained. The pool was closed for a day for required maintenance which was disappointing but KWVR gave us another temporary pool option if we wanted it.
