## Description
Welcome to Julia Whitehead Guest Suites! Built in the 1890s on the site of what had been a small provisions and butcher shop, this charming building has a rich and captivating history. In the 1930s, while Hemingway was living a few houses down, it was home to a popular Cuban bodega. From the 1980s through the turn of this century, potter Charles Pearson created ceramic masterpieces which are still collected today. If you keep a watchful eye, you will find some of his ceramic fish adorning buildings and homes in the neighborhood still. Its current guardians have spent nearly a decade painstakingly bringing the building back to life, with Dog Tired Studio gallery up front as the proud face of the building. Julia Whitehead, the patron mermaid of the building, has been keeping an eye over this landmark since she first surfaced here in the 1800s, and she invites you to come and live like a local, just steps from Duval, in the shadow of the lighthouse. Made up of three individual one-bedroom apartments, the suites are the perfect choice for several couples or families traveling together. Each of the three features a full, modern kitchen, AC splits, TV, and free WiFi. At charming Coral Cove, you&rsquo;ll find an updated, modern space with colorful, beachy decor and a cozy bistro table on your enclosed patio. In the upstairs Seagrass Suite, enjoy peaceful mornings with coffee on your private balcony, with a view of the Key West Lighthouse. Interior space combines modern updates with antique accent pieces, eclectic art, and cheerful pops of color. Finally, at Mermaid&rsquo;s Retreat, you&rsquo;ll find a beautifully updated space, with colorful, eclectic decor and abundant natural light. Balconies off both the living room and bedroom upstairs are ideal for languid afternoons with a good book and some sweet tea. When bedtime calls, three serene sanctuaries offer a restful night&#39;s sleep. It&#39;s time to make that Key West getaway a reality at Julia Whitehead Guest Suites - all that&#39;s left to do is book.

## Reviews
###  (5/5 stars)
The accommodations were reality nice, location was great but things weren't exactly what we expected. We were told there was pool access and there was a grill to cook on which was not the case. When we inquired about the grill we were told code did not allow outdoor grills but every rental around us has an outdoor grill!! The rental also needs a washer and dryer  for the complex especially for what we paid.

### Good location, great place! (5/5 stars)
My husband and I stayed with our two, young adult sons for a weekend in July 2025. Having the 3 separate apartments allowed us to have our own space in the same locale. Each apartment was cute and comfortable and one block off Duvall near the quieter end. Would definitely stay here again - thank you!

###  (5/5 stars)
The three apartments was perfect for couples traveling together, but wanting their own space as well. This is a very cute, updated, and clean place. One knockoff Duval. So close to everything!

### Great place for a group of friends (5/5 stars)

### Wonderful property (5/5 stars)
We reserved all 3 apartments. 
They were all unique and special!! 
The Beds were comfortable and the apartments were spotless!!
The location is great. 
Close to Duvall street but on the quiet end. 
Be sure to visit the art gallery/shop on the lower level. 
The gentlemen that own the shop are talented with unique gifts or items for sale.

### Three separate suites, perfect for three couples traveling together (5/5 stars)
We arrived via the Key West Express late morning and took the free Duval Loop trolley directly to the Vacasa office where we were planning to drop our luggage until check-in; however, we were able to check in early to the suites, right around the corner. All three suites are well appointed and beautifully decorated. Beds were comfortable. Coffee and a few toiletries were a nice surprise. Great location! Since we were departing on the Key West Express at 6 pm, we were able to leave our luggage at the Vacasa offices just around the corner until we were ready to leave. Hassle free check-in and check-out. Convenient to Duval St, Hemingway House, Lighthouse, beach, loads of restaurants.  Great experience, would definitely recommend or rent again.

### Lovely little spot (5/5 stars)
We rented all three rooms in this suite and they were all beautiful, clean, and charming. The location couldn’t be better, it’s a very short walk to Duval, the pier, and the park while avoiding all the noise from downtown. We would definitely stay here again, but be sure to use a sound machine app at night to drown out the roosters!

### Great Place for a Group (5/5 stars)
Great place if you are renting all 3 apartments. Stairs lead up to two doors that split into two separate apartments.  All apartments are very nice and new amenities. The free coffee and tolietres was so nice to have with staying from out of town.
