Potter's Cottage - Nightly Rental

We loved Potter's Cottage. Great location! We biked or walked everywhere. It was very hot in July and the pool was the perfect way to cool off. Plenty of space for 2 couples. We will be back!

Manager's Response

Our stay was really good. The place was amazing and we really enjoyed spending time by the pool. You cannot beat its location either. The staff who is managing the property was extremely helpful, kind and professional.

Manager's Response

This beautiful cottage home has everything you need and then some. My sister and I were thrilled with the location as there were many restaurants, shops activities right around the corner. There is even a cute little gallery next door. We enjoyed the beautiful backyard relaxing in the pool and spent a good amount of time on the porch “people watching”. There is also a beautiful view of the lighthouse that never gets old. The location was so wonderful that we didn’t even use our car during our stay. The property managers were fantastic & beyond helpful. We can’t wait to book this wonderful property again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had a great time in Key West!!!

Manager's Response

This house was emasculate and very well maintained. We had everything we needed and within walking distance to Duval. We will definitely be back!

Manager's Response

This is the second time I've rented Potter's Cottage for our Key West vacation. The house is very cute and comfortable with everything we needed. It's within walking distance of many attractions (Hemingway House, Lighthouse, and Southernmost Point) and great restaurants. This year, we spent more time sitting on the front porch watching passersby than we spent in the pool (...not that the pool wasn't great, though.)

The staff was always very helpful and quick to respond to all my questions.

I can't wait to come back!

Manager's Response

Potters cottage is a great place to stay just a few blocks from Duval and some great restaurants like Moondog and Ramshead Siuthernmost. It’s quite comfortable for two couples who want to relax and enjoy the quiet of being off Duval Street while being minutes from all the activity. The staff at Historic Key West Vacation Rentals are the best for being friendly, helpful and willing to assist with any needs to make your stay memorable.

Manager's Response

We are so pleased with our choosing of Potters cottage with Historic Key West Vacation Rentals. It was a last minute and quick trip down from GA but we will absolutely be back to Potters Cottage. The location is perfect and our 2 girls had a blast in the pool. It’s small but just right for lounging. The front porch is great for a cup of coffee or glass of wine. The house had everything needed for cooking and serving. If you forget something small, there is a circle K only 2 min walk that has most things. We rented a golf cart from the company across from the circle k and it was perfect to cruise around on. Excited to go back!

Manager's Response

From check in to check out it was a great experience. House is a perfect location to enjoy Key West!

Manager's Response

Our girls trip to Key West was fabulous. Potter's Cottage was amazing. It was just perfect. We enjoyed lounging by the pool, the amazing location and the homey feel. When the AC was a little slow to cool the cottage, a technician was sent over immediately and the problem was resolved. Super friendly team! We will definitely be back!

Manager's Response

Great location! Comfortable, clean, updated and awesome little cottage! Loved everything about it!

Manager's Response

We truly enjoyed our stay at Porters Cottage! From the booking, to checking in, to checking out; all was smooth. The house is in a great location and provided a fun spot to hang out. The pool is perfect for relaxing and enjoying a cool drink! Would definitely stay her again!

Manager's Response

Just as described in their description - cozy yet roomy enough. Perfect for our honeymoon. Love the pool right out the door. Close to the Lighthouse and Hemingway’s home.

Manager's Response

Had a terrific stay! This place was awesome! Clean, bright, and in a perfect location!

Manager's Response

I rented this adorable little cottage for myself and 3 of my best friends to celebrate our 50th birthdays this year. The cottage is in a perfect location - blocks from Southernmost Point and only 1 block over from Duval Street. It has everything you might need. It was wonderful to come home from a hot day of walking and be able to go straight to the little pool to cool off and have some cocktails and rest before heading out again. Would definitely stay here again!

Manager's Response

Potter’s Cottage was perfect for my trip with a friend. It’s in a great location - one block off of Duval but still quiet enough for peaceful lounging on the deck and quiet time for sleeping. House was exactly as expected - clean, no maintenance issues and had everything we needed for our stay (beach towels, coffee maker, etc). The staff was amazing - from booking, to getting bikes coordinated and delivered, to checking out. We are already planning a trip next year and plan on using this team again. Thank you!!!

Manager's Response

Our family of four had a great time staying at Potter's Cottage. The kids especially enjoyed the pool as a way to unwind after coming back from outings. Centrally located with plenty of good restaurant options in walking distance.

Manager's Response

House was as described. Pictures definitely make it look alot bigger. Great location. No need to rent a car, as you can walk to everything. Outside deck by the pool could have been cleaner. Daily pooping iguanas and pigeons made a mess that we needed to hose off daily. All the rooms were as described. A/C upstairs sounds like a jet plane when on. Very noisy. Overall, would stay here again and would recommend to anyone to stay.

Manager's Response

this is a wonderful cottage, sparkling clean and beautifully decorated. it is so quiet, you would never know that you are 1 block off of Duvall street. the Management was friendly and helpful. we loved it!

Manager's Response

We rented the cottage for 3 days in early May. We loved the place and will likely return with our children in a year. It was only two of us there for our anniversary trip, but the house would be great for two couples or a family of 4-6.

Kitchen is reasonably well appointed, and the grill is new and performed well. Furnishings and bedroom were all good. Linens of good quality. Outdoor shower was lovely and the plunge pool was great—small but deep. The backyard got great sun during the day, but the trees and lanai provide good shade if you don’t want to bake. We have been in key west many times and we always stay on Duval. I was very surprised by how quiet the backyard was at night.

Lastly, the management company was very easy to work with. Fantastic service from them.

Manager's Response

Outstanding

Manager's Response

Rental was clean and very cute. Close to the action on Duval St but on a quiet side street.

Manager's Response

Enjoyed Potters cottage very much. Central location easy to walk to majority of landmarks on the island. We were a party of five and the layout of the cottage works great did not feel cramped at all. Both the front porch and the back deck with the pool were utilized every day. Again wonderful stay, thanks for the memories!

Manager's Response

Great experience, perfect location, and top notch management company!

Manager's Response

What a great location in historic Key West! The house was perfect — within walking distance of all the places we wanted to visit. The house was furnished beautifully, the pool was so nice, and the management staff was responsive to all our questions. I would definitely book this property again!

Manager's Response

Excellent location, clean, well maintained.

Manager's Response

The home is beautifully decorated inside and out with its own little oasis of a quaint backyard area with a pool. Located one block off of Duval, gives you the perfect location to get to where you want to be on the island. Will definitely stay here again!

Manager's Response

This was a great house. Had everything we needed and more. Pool was very comforting and help me work out back issues after a long flight. Description and puctures were as advertised. Only thing i would point out is the stairs to second floor were very steep. This place is also right off main road into key west US1. Great location to the best areas of key west without being in the crowded noisy areas. It was nice to have our own place away from COVID possibilities.

Manager's Response

The rental office was superb! Great communication before, during and after our stay. Clean, had everything you could need. Walking distance to most everything but not the noise. Ceiling fans on the covered patio were perfect to keep cool and still sit when it was raining.

Manager's Response

What an adorable experience. We loved the property! The location is central to everything in Key West. The house is well maintained and SO charming.

Manager's Response

We rented this cottage over NYE with another couple. It is adorable and we really enjoyed our stay. The location is great - just a block off Duval. It was very quiet. The pool was great. Two bedroom and two bathrooms. The upstairs is essentially a loft with a bedroom, sitting area and bathroom. The upstairs bathroom is quite small but it worked for us. The 1st floor bathroom is huge. We will definitely consider returning. Just an FYI - the stairs to the loft are a bit steep so they need to be navigated with care.

Manager's Response

Very small. Tough for three adult men. The pool was about the size of a sheet of plywood. Ok, but need more space!!!

We have been coming to Key West for years using different rental agencies and private rentals I have to say Historic Keywest Vacation Rentals is my favorite vacation rental agency there. They responded to a tv issue immediately. They called the next day to be sure everything was perfect. They really do care about their renters satisfaction.

Manager's Response

Potter's Cottage was very clean and well maintained, and exactly as advertised. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything you needed for your stay and the pool, with both shaded and sunny seating areas was perfect! We spent a lot of time in this outdoor area, swimming, lounging, snacking and even grilling our own seafood dinner. Communication with the property management company was easy and response time was very quick. We would definitely stay here again!

Manager's Response

The cottage is wonderful. My husband and I stayed her for a week while our children were at sea camp. Everything was clean and neat. The interior is update and well done. We were there in early August so we used the pool every day. The location is perfect because it is quiet yet close to all the shops and restaurants and out of the super "touristy" loud bar, bad food scene. I was a little frustrated with the management company on a couple of things but the staff was very helpful and professional. I did not like the deposit process from Key west. I thought $3,000 was excessive and told them I thought that was high and they said they could take a $60 non-refundable fee in lieu of charging my card. I find this just another charge. Also they did not meet us at the unit and we had to drop the key off at their office 10 blocks away. This is very inconvenient when you have luggage as there is as parking is difficult to find so you have the walk. I also think the service fee VRBO now implements since under new management is excessive.

Manager's Response

The house was perfect, from the location, to the relaxing back yard with dipping pool and how quiet it was at night even being one block from Duval. Told my wife she can book this place for the surprise bday get away she plans for me.

Manager's Response

A wonderful time was had in Key West recently. Potter’s Cottage was the perfect choice for two couples. It is a lovely, well appointed property. We couldn’t have survived the July heat without the plunge pool. It was a welcome treat to come to after all of our walking and site seeing. Historic Key West Vacation Rental staff were so helpful and courteous. My only small “grumble” was having to use an offsite luggage storage service for our last day. It would have been much more convenient to leave it at the rental office. I would definitely recommend Potter’s Cottage to anyone visiting Key West.

Manager's Response

We loved the place very clean.

Manager's Response

Our family had a great time in Florida, but having a home with a grill to cook outside and pool to relax by was like we had a home there.

Manager's Response

We absolutely LOVED Potter's Cottage. The perfect location and yet still so quiet and relaxing. We lounged by the pool and enjoyed some much needed R&R. When we wanted to take in the sights, everything was a quick walk over to Duval Street. The cottage itself is perfectly appointed with everything you could need. Each room was perfectly decorated and had such a warm and homey feel. We didn't want to leave. Thanks for having us! We can't wait to come back.

Manager's Response

Great all around - from check in - to check out. This is our second year staying at a home managed by Historic Key West Rentals - and each time the homes have been super clean and nice.

Manager's Response

The house is located in a great location, is very clean and perfect for 4 or 5 people. The shower upstairs is a bit small, but everything else was absolutely perfect! The pool is a great size for cooling off and taking a quick dip. The rental company was great to work with as well!

Manager's Response

We spent the weekend here for our friends birthday and this 2 bed / 2 bath home was perfect. Very clean. Well kept. Smack dab in the middle of old town. Walking distance to everything. It was end of July and very hot so coming back from being out and jumping into the dipping pool was ideal. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something quiet and cozy. Also, the property management company was very accommodating and thorough.

Manager's Response

The cottage was immaculate and well-stocked with needed items (Even sunscreen!). The location was perfect, just a block from the Hemingway House and near Duvall Street and Mallory Square (a bit of a walk to Mallory square, but not bad).

Manager's Response

We were here for a wedding and I shared the home with others in the wedding party. The size, location, and needs were met perfectly for what we needed!

Manager's Response

Potter's cottage was the perfect property for our family. It was spotless and in a great location to walk to most of the sights in Key West.

Manager's Response

We were 5 adults traveling to Key West for a weekend wedding and Potters Cottage was great for our stay. One single adult slept on the (never really comfortable but manageable) pull out sofa in the den and the other two couples each had a bedroom. The beds were very comfortable. The cottage was spotless and well equipped!! Very nice decor and again so clean!! Great location to everything. We would stay there again.

Manager's Response

Wonderful; did not want to leave

Perfect house for our family of 6. Everything worked for us, Great location one block off Duval. We will be back!

Manager's Response

wonderful home away from home, perfect for the 4 of us, loved the pool area

Manager's Response

The cottage was charming and beautifully decorated. Plenty of room for two couples. It was spotless and very well equipped with a starter supply of paper products and soap etc. The location is perfect and you can walk or ride bikes to everywhere. The backyard is so private and the pool is heated to perfection. Beds great too.
Danny(concierge for Historic Key West Properties) could not have been nicer or more helpful! He and the owners went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great vacation! Highly recommend this place!

We had a great week in KW.

Manager's Response

Potters Cottage was the perfect relaxation destination! It was very centrally located to all the attractions in Key West, was clean, and though the pool is very small, we thoroughly enjoyed its peaceful, private setting. Potters Cottage has all of the comforts of home. We will most definitely be going back!

We did not get to Key West due to Hurricane Irma. We were very disappointed, but kept everyone in the Keys and the entire state of Florida in our prayers. We would love to visit, stay in Potter's Cottage, and have the opportunity to share our experience with others. Looking forward to it, and hope it will happen.

3 nights a patters cottage on Witehead st

Potter's Cottage was wonderful! It had everything you could possibly need, even a shy iguana that would peak through the trees every now and then. The pool was a life saver on those hot and humid August days. My only caution is that the stairs to the loft bedroom are quite steep and narrow. I slept up there (the bed was great), but stayed downstairs any other time. The bonus room made a great changing area. My son and I can not wait to return next year!

Beautiful home. This is clearly a home the owner cares about, well furnished and decorated, not just cheap furniture and a few posters. The home is beautiful, well furnished and comfortable. Historic Key West Vacation Rentals was a pleasure to deal with, responding quickly to any questions, check-in and check out was quick and helpful. House was as described and better. House can easily and comfortably sleep 6. Kitchen is a good, workable size. Downstairs bathroom shower is huge, upstairs shower is on the small side but fine. Smart TV with cable (we appreciated being able to log in to our Netflix acct when we wanted to watch a particular movie) in the living room, cable tv in each bedroom. Pool and patio are the gems. Large plunge pool, covered and uncovered patio areas with overhead fans (we're from the NW, not used to the humidity in Key West, the pool was a Godsend), very private, lots of chairs and loungers.Washer and dryer are located outside in a cabinet, very quiet. One caution, the stairs to the upstairs bedroom are steep and narrow, would not be great for the elderly or young children. House is very close (a couple of blocks) to the Hemingway House, Lighthouse, Southernmost Point, DuVal Street, great restaurants and the best conch salad on the planet (Johnson's Grocery, trust me). We could not have been happier with the house or Historic Key West Rentals. This one is a gem.

Loved the cottage had a great experience. The only thing that would make it better would be softer bed, (very stiff,) and cooler temp in the pool. Don't know if the pool was heated or it was the sun? Oh and maybe Salt and Pepper and sugar packets.

It was great. Potters Cottage was wonderful.

Check in was quick and easy, the cottage was exactly as described, in great condition with helpful amenities, and right in the heart of where you want to be in Key West! Fantastic!

We (two couples) spent the Memorial Day weekend in Key West at the Potter's Cottage.
It was everything that we wanted and more. The unit is located at a great location and, despite being on Whitehead (a busy street) there was no annoying street noise.
The kitchen was well-equipped, the rooms comfortable and the pool was fabulous.
I would highly recommend it!

Everything was ready for us upon our arrival. House was perfect and very clean. Location was fantastic, walking distance to Duval Street and the Southernmost Point. Only complaint would be parking.

We recently stayed at Potter's Cottage on our first ever trip to Key West. It was the perfect place for us! The property is perfectly located for people who want to be walking distance to all the major attractions but want a little space from all the noise of upper Duval. The Cottage is charming. It is beautifully decorated with all the amenities you need. The pool and patio are a perfect place to relax at the end of a busy day sightseeing. My only qualification would be for people with limited mobility or who have trouble climbing stairs. The master bedroom is wonderful but the stairs are quite steep so if that would be an issue it might not be the best place to stay. Otherwise it was perfect. Danny was our concierge and helpfully gave us several suggestions of places to eat and they were all fabulous.

Fantastic cottage. Just far enough off Duval, but close enough by bike. Perfect property for our family. Master suite is ideal. Our 2 daughters had their space as well. Updated appliances, cutlery, TVs, patio furniture, towels, bathrooms... hesitant to share such a glowing review as we want to come back.

Wonderful cottage with delightful fenced in deck/pool/lanai area. Loved the front porch for coffee in morning and people watching at night. Perfect distance from Duval and other amenities. Comfy cottage and nicely decorated. If you have bad knees, plan on staying in the ground level bedroom. Stairs to upstairs are a bit steep but fine if you're in shape.

Manager's Response

This was our 2nd stay at Potter's in 3 months. This is a wonderful cottage, with all the amenities you would ever need. The house is ideal for 2 couples with one bedroom downstairs and one upstairs providing some additional privacy. There is a wonderful deck and covered area around the pool (we spent more time here then in the house!). The management company provided us with 2 nice lounge chairs for the pool, as the other seats are chairs and not designed for sunbathing. The house is in an ideal location just a block off Duval St and a block from Hemingway's home and the lighthouse. You are very centrally located here making it a easy walk to anywhere in old town. We will be back to Potter's cottage again!

We had the most amazing time in Key West. Potter's Cottage is spotlessly clean, well equipped, beautifully furnished and in walking distance to everything. It was perfect for us (2 couples)and we can't wait to come back. Thank you!

Very cute and very well laid out cottage.

The location is perfect, but not too close to the tourist areas to be loud.

The plunge pool is a good size, and I recommend the option of having it heated in the winter.

Perfect for two couples and even a fifth person, with the little side room.

Manager's Response

Our rental experience was acceptable even with a couple of issues. We would recommend this agency. We will consider using them when we vacation in Key West again (like next year). We especially were thankful for the cleanliness of the house. We enjoyed the decor and furniture inside and outside. It was very cool and tropical! Having upper end quality bed collections, towels, etc. is ideal for us. The location was quiet. We enjoy walking so the distance to Sloppy Joes, etc. did not bother us. Sure wish the pool was bigger. Then Potter's Cottage would be perfect. The managers were great, friendly and had attention to details. Yea!

Manager's Response

Our family of five recently rented the Potter's Cottage for a week in July. We knew that it was on the smaller side, but there was actually plenty of room for all of us. We loved the location, which was an easy walking distance to restaurants, etc. on Duval, as well as several beaches that we enjoyed. The pool was a great addition due to the very warm weather. It was great to have Phil to make suggestions and assist with our reservations for dinner, etc.. He is a great asset to HKWVR. On our next visit to Key West, we would definitely rent this cottage again.

Manager's Response

We thought the property was lovely and we loved the location. On several occasions the neighbors behind caused quite a disturbance. The guest bedroom mattress is hard as a rock which not quite so comfortable. Would like a TV or at least some type of speaker to be able to enjoy music on the deck around the pool. Loved the front porch and enjoyed people watching. Would definitely stay there again!

This was a perfect place for our first extended stay in Key West. It was comfortable and met all our needs. The location was perfect, close to beaches, restaurants and 1 block from Duval street. Having Phil to help us navigate deliveries, reservations, etc. was such an added plus! Thank you Phil! Thank you Potter Cottage for a memorable vacation!
