Description 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 lived 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 three one-bedroom apartments, and hosting 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 St., in the shadow of the lighthouse.Here, at charming Coral Cove, you'll find an updated, modern space with colorful, beachy decor. The full kitchen makes it easy to whip up meals or snacks, and you can dine alfresco at the bistro table on your enclosed patio. Spend the day snorkeling at Dry Tortugas National Park, then let the AC splits in each room cool you down. Watch a bit of TV or use the free WiFi to scroll social media, then call it a night in the serene bedroom, with sweet dreams of mermaids and swaying palms in store.Things to KnowCheck-in time: 4:00 p.m.Check-out time: 10:00 a.m.All guests shall abide by the good neighborpolicy and shall not engage in illegal activity. Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.No smoking is permitted anywhere on the premises.A booklet inside the apartment features the full story of Julia Whitehead Guest Suites.

Amazing 1 bedroom with kitchen, big bathroom, great shower and covered outside sitting area. One block from Duval St and Hemingway’s house. Rent a bicycle at We Cycle on Southard Street and you are all set. We felt like locals, located on a quiet side street but so close to great restaurants and things to do. We were happy to have a full kitchen and have our own food and beverages. This spot is a quiet respite despite being in the center of it all. Highly recommend! Host is available if there are any questions and was easy to get in touch.

El apartamento es tal lo publicado, quizás mejor todavía. Casi nuevo, muy buena limpieza y ubicación. Asegurarse si la administración Vacasa acepta recibir paquetes de compras realizadas por la web, ya que en Airbnb dice una cosa y la administración central maneja otro criterio. Muy amables los representantes locales que ayudaron a solucionar el problema.

This home was in a perfect location and was super clean. The only thing missing was the hair dryer, so make sure to bring your own! Host was responsive.

We absolutely loved our stay here! It was the perfect location—walkable to everything, (we rented mopeds) and exactly as described. It was peaceful tucked away in a quiet area but very close to all the night life. The place was clean & we got an answer right away when we reached out. We will definitely be back!!

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. So nicely furnished and decorated. Cool artwork has the KW vibes. Spa like shower a plus. Walkable, but that's a given considering KW is small. Near the action but super quiet. Highly recommend.

A beautiful apartment just one street off of Duvall. Towards the south side of the island. Beautiful kitchen and bathroom. Well stocked with everything one could want or need. We were able to leave our bags in the office prior to check in and leave our bags in the office after checking out for our last day. Everything was perfect.

It was my husband’s and I one year anniversary, this stay was the perfect get away for the two of us. Cozy, clean and close to all of the attractions! Highly recommend this stay! Only con I would have is if you are in the upstairs apartment, to be mindful of the ppl staying below you. We lucked out and only had the noise our last night. I would definitely book again!

We'd love to host you again anytime for another relaxing getaway!

This rental we stayed at was absolutely adorable. It would make a nice apartment for a single person or a couple. The place was definitely updated/ remodeled, and very clean. The apartment is located about a block away from Duvall Street. With that, it’s actually pretty quiet yet walkable to all the tourist spots. We felt very safe there. The shower set up was amazing after a long day at the beach!! We would absolutely rebook this Airbnb again..

The apartment was easy to book, easy to find and easy to access. It is in the middle of the island (east-to-west), just off Duval St. (the main drag), so it is very convenient. I rented a bicycle for transportation during my stay, and the fenced, gated, secure patio was the perfect parking spot when I was "home." The interior was clean, comfortable and beachy. It had everything I needed with the expected luxury-accommodation quality. Do note that there is no dishwasher or clothes washer/drier, but I knew this ahead of time, so it was no problem. The management office is just around the corner, and they have a nice service where you can drop off your luggage for day-storage if you arrive prior to check-in time.

Definitely would stay here again!
This rental is located in what I think is the ideal spot in town. It's very private and quiet inside but step out and you're immediately in the middle of everything. The unit was very clean, easy to access, and the perfect size for a couple. The kitchen was stocked with essential cooking items, the bed and linens were so comfy, and the bathroom was spotless. The patio is private but does allow for the guests staying in the units above to come in through the gate for their unit access (we never saw anyone). The unit sits in between two main strips of Key West so you can walk just about anywhere. We did a scooter rental and used that to get around quicker, though, since we only had one full day there!

Fantastic location, one block off Duval St and so its much quieter. Easy and pleasant walks to bars and restaurants, Mallory Square, Southernmost beach, Zach Taylor park, lighthouse. Street parking can be difficult but we lucked out and found a great spot at our location, and then never had to move the car for three days. Inside the unit was very comfortable, clean and with an excellent A/C. We did see one little cockaroacha on our last day, but what can you do? Plenty of closet and dresser space. Did not use the kitchen but very adequate. One could comfortably stay here for a couple weeks. Would definitely stay here again.

Very happy with our stay. The place was exactly like the pictures, very clean and nicely decorated. Location was good, close enough to Duval Street and shops but far enough away to be quiet at night. The only suggestions we have is to place towel hooks in the bathroom maybe on the back of the door, otherwise there is no place to hang towels to dry for reuse. Also a toilet paper holder in the bathroom would be useful. Shower is very nice, but the shower door needs a gasket to prevent it from leaking all over the floor. And a box of tissues would be nice to have. All very minor improvements/suggestions, otherwise the place is great, so clean and inviting. We did enjoy our stay.

Great location. Clean. Walkable and one street over from Duval, so not crazy at night. The rental is on the bottom floor with rentals above, so there is some noise from people walking in the above rentals, but not terrible. I would stay again.

Great location and very clean place. I was a bit annoyed about the 200 dollar cleaning fee, but coming inside the first time, it was worth it. The unit was cleaned professionally and practically spotless with the A/C on already. A lovely place to stay overall.

Loved this apartment! It was so clean and had everything you could need! Dishes were fully stocked, there were beach towels, and full amenities! The location was within walking distance of everything in Key West, we didn’t have to drive at all once we arrived! The host was super friendly and made sure you had everything you needed! We would definitely recommend staying here.
