Great Old Town Location

A hidden gem in Old Town!! The three story William Skelton House is one of the oldest houses on the island built in the 1830’s. The house is really unique with its exposed Dade County Pine walls, private porches, and a widow’s walk on the roof with great views of Key West. It can be rented as a 4 bedroom/3 bath or as a 6 bedroom/4 bath. Our flexibility allows you more flexibility! Did we mention the private pool?

The location of this house make your trip the best it can be. It is walking distance to everything worth seeing, including, but certainly not limited to, Mallory Square, Hemingway’s House, Sloppy Joe’s, the Historic Seaport, and enough bars and restaurants to keep you entertained for your entire stay.

Clothing and Miscellaneous

Key West is a warm humid tropical climate region. Because we are on an island, temperature tends to be a few degrees cooler than the rest of Florida. Be sure to bring warm-weather clothing, a light jacket or sweater for the cooler evenings, a hat, sunglasses, flip-flops and sneakers and sunscreen. Bring a reusable water bottle to help minimize trash, and to keep yourself hydrated.
