Located on a teeny tiny quiet lane, this beautifully renovated home is trimmed with a white picket fence and boasts solid surface floors and an open concept living room/kitchen. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare meals or to snack around the large kitchen island with seating for four. Plenty of cabinets, granite counters and stainless-steel appliances round out the kitchen. The living room with TV, ceiling fan, and comfortable furnishings has seating for everyone. From here you may spill out onto the deck via the expansive glass doors. Once outside, you can chill in your private hot tub and wash your cares away.

Each bedroom is superbly furnished and includes an ensuite bath with glass walk in shower. The primary bedroom enjoys a unique ambiance provided by obscure lighting in the vaulted ceiling. The room is also flooded with natural light and adorned with plantation shutters, beautiful bedding, dresser, TV, closet, and bedside wall lighting. The second bedroom is also beautifully furnished and includes bedside wall lighting, ceiling fan, TV, dresser, and your own entrance to the deck. Vacationing in this home will prove to be enjoyable, relaxing, and have you wanting to come back before you even leave.

BED CONFIGURATION: Each king bedroom has an ensuite bath, bedside wall lighting and beautiful furnishings.

OUTDOOR AMENITIES: Private wrap around deck with hot tub and outdoor shower. Comfortable seating, an umbrella dining table with chairs and a gas grill are provided for your enjoyment. Your own washer/dryer is in the outdoor laundry closet.

We had a relaxing and fun filled vacation in Key West. Our cottage was adorable and beautifully maintained. Plus the location was perfect. It’s close to Duval St with all the fun shops and restaurants but it’s on a quiet side street.

don't pass this rental up...

Perfect for our 10 day vacation... all on one floor, newly renovated with top of the line furnishings and equipment. Two bedrooms, two baths, both with walk in showers. It's in a quiet location in walking distance to many sites and restaurants. We enjoyed many meals on the wrap around deck with table and chairs in shaded areas. Good customer service from the property managers.
There's also an outdoor grill, hot tub, and parking.
We've already booked for 2026!

great long weekend - butterfly cottage in key west

Wrapping up a fantastic stay at Butterfly Cottage. One couple plus our friend. Total comfort for three. Would have also been fine with a fourth. Let’s just say that we couldn’t keep talking about how well done this layout was. Two king ensuite bedrooms. Kitchen with island and every conceivable necessity for a weekend trip. Coffee maker. Ice maker. Disposal. All drawers were labeled. All outlets were labeled. All doors had these little clear wall bumpers to protect but also prevent mishaps. The wrap around deck was great. Privacy if we wanted individual sides of the deck. Multiple sitting areas, a hot tub, exterior laundry. Off street parking. We were told parking for a small car. We rented a small SUV which fit fine. But we also had a few scooters we rented on island and a four seater cart. Room for all vehicles. Attentive staff via text message not so much because we needed anything but because they just checked in on us periodically. Even accommodated an early check in. All in all a great stay at a great property. We’ve used other rental companies in the past but will 100% be booking them again.

The Butterfly Cottage was perfect for out stay on Key West. It is strategically located right in the middle so you can walk everywhere. The cottage is the perfect size for 4 adults, with lovely outdoor space so we could enjoy the evenings in the hot tub. We would definitely stay here again. The communication was the best and we had no issues with the house.

the perfect key west cottage

We made the drive through the keys with another couple, staying at various hotels and resorts. Arriving in Key West, we received a friendly welcome to pick up our keys to The Butterfly Cottage. It was easy to find and perfect in every way for the 4 of us. Great furnishings, everything you need, clean, new, beautiful. Better than another hotel. Great location just a couple blocks away from Duval-which was also perfect because it was quiet at night. Highly recommend this beautiful Key West cottage.

perfect location and adorable home!

The house is as close to perfect for a rental for our needs. Remodeled, walking distance to almost everything and lovely private back deck/hot tub area. The only complaint that we have is one no one can help, the roosters. They start crowing around 5am and it seems to be all day long! We've stayed in hotels on the island before and never had that problem but staying on a local street, there is this issue. Ear plugs, noise app, box fan or something provided by the rental would be amazing. Next time we come we'll be better prepared. Otherwise loved our stay!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the rental property AND company! From the moment we arrived, we were treated like we had known the office staff for years. They are top notch - kind, professional, organized, knowledgeable. The property itself is immaculate. It has been recently renovated and is very clean, comfortable, stylish, quiet, but close enough to walk to everything. We would definitely stay in the same home again, but we loved the rental company so much, we’d like to see what else they have to offer!

The Butterfly Cottage is completely renovated beautifully! In fact, my daughter wants her bathroom at home to be remodeled like the en suite to her room at the cottage. Spacious for our family of four - parents and two teenagers. Loved the outdoor deck area with hot tub. Kitchen was easy to use. Stocked with all the accessories we needed. Great location. We biked everywhere. Enjoyed the swing, listening to the roosters and watching the cats walk by. We feel lucky we found this rental!
