Key West Wabi Sabi - Authentic Downtown Cottage w Pool - Steps Off Duval

Key West Wabi Sabi is a quintessential 1930s cottage that embodies the beauty and simplicity of island-life charm. If you’re looking to be in the heart of Old Town yet want your own pool and parking space, 506 Bahama is a perfect choice for your trip. You’ll be right off Duval Street, directly across from Fausto’s Food Palace for groceries and necessities, but tucked away enough for that real vacation recharge. This thoughtfully renovated retreat preserves the home’s original character and vintage Key West vibe while embracing an ideal indoor-outdoor feel. The open-concept great room and kitchen lead seamlessly to a private deck and pool framed by happy foliage and a hand-painted mural. Our guests love making Key West memories here and often rebook Key West Wabi Sabi.

The home offers four bedrooms and sleeps up to 8 people. Each room has its own vibe: a lofted master suite with a king-sized bed, a vintage vanity, a split unit A/C and full bathroom; another large downstairs room with a comfy king bed and full bath; a cozy third bedroom with a trundle bed and a half bath; and a fourth bedroom with another king bed and its own bathroom. The cottage is great for gathering yet offers enough private space for everyone to find their own mid-vacation reprieve if needed.

506 Bahama is a fantastic homebase as you explore the best of Key West. It’s a lovely blend of ease, simplicity, and island charm. Again, the location and thus the walkability of this home really can’t be beat if you’re looking to make the most of the general Duval Street excitement! Come home from an afternoon out and about to enjoy your personal pool with plenty of lounge space, or relax on your classic Key West front porch. We look forward to hosting you and making sure your stay at Key West Wabi Sabi is one you’ll love.

Private retreat

Cute, comfy home with Old Key West character. Very clean and well appointed. The home and fenced pool area is quiet/secluded even though it’s just a block from Duval. Has a washer/dryer, gas grill and beds are comfortable. Would definitely stay again!

Our Stay at Wabi Sabi

We recently stayed at the Wabi Sabi property in Key West, FL. Everything was great with our stay and we thoroughly enjoyed being close to Duval Street but just far enough away to be a quiet experience. We highly recommend this property if you are looking to stay in Key West.

Home for older adults

Location was great. Close to everything. Clean. Four oldet sisters, we had a great time. Could use a grab bar on upstairs tub and a railing getting into and out of pool. Enough tvs, but the one in bedroom by kitchen didn't work. Overall, loved this home.

Great hospitality!

The property agent who contacted us, Audrey, was amazing. She went above and beyond to decorate the house for my daughter’s 18th birthday. So personal and thoughtful. The house is very cute, a little bit of a tight space but very quirky Key West style and layout. Location is amazing- walking distance to everything. Parking is very limited, they mean it when they say 1 compact car in the listing. The pool is small but paying for the heat to be turned on worked out really well.

The location of this property is right in the heart of Key West which makes for an easy walk to nearly all of the great local attractions. The pool was perfect for lounging and cooling off. The property could use some minor upgrades. If you love historic Key West properties, this is for you!

Perfect Location!

This home was perfect for our vacation! We chose Wabi-Sabi because of the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. As a party of 4 couples it was important for everyone to have their own space. Secondly, the location sold the home. It was 1 block from the center of Duval St which made walking everywhere a breeze! We happened to visit during a heat wave so the pool was a lifesaver. Overall, Wabi-Sabi met all of our needs and was very comfortable and enjoyable.

Wabi Sabi Key West

The house is in a great location. Within walking distance to Duval Street, Mallory Square and the marinas and restaurants. Everyone in our party loved their rooms and found it very comfortable. The house is also very well equipped with whatever you might need. My only issue was the shower in back bedroom and bathroom didn’t get hot. Literally every shower was ice cold. I contacted host but didn’t get response until our stay was almost up. They said the shower faucet was finicky. But I tried everything and could not get it to be hot. The weather was pretty warm when we were there so it wasn’t terrible but still would have liked a hot shower. All the other bathrooms worked fine.

Awesome backyard

So loved the backyard! The temps were cooler than normal so for an extra $100 we got to bump up the temp of the pool. It was so worth it and made our stay enjoyable. Maybe could update the chairs in the living room. The living room was small but since we spent most of our time in the backyard it didn’t matter. The staff was wonderful and so attentive to any of our needs.

Long weekend getaway

The home was lovely. Beds were comfortable and home was clean. We loved having our coffee in the quaint back yard and took several dips in the small pool. The wasteful was a nice touch. Our only complaint would be noise from the delivery trucks at the grocery store in front of the home. I had the front bedroom and it was loud.one delivery truck arrived at 5:45. I didn’t mind so much because I was anxious to start my day, but that was just a little earlier than I had planned. Otherwise, location is perfect. I would stay here again.

Group get away to Key West

The house is absolutely adorable, and it fit 6 adults (3 couples) comfortably. We had a lot of fun out by the pool. Everything is within walking distance. We parked the car and never used it again until we left. Our biggest complaint would be the tile in the kitchen. lots of broken and loose tiles. (sharp and dangerous) The upstairs room was hot when we first arrived but cooled down and was comfortable sleeping. Our friends that stayed in the room off the kitchen said they could not regulate the water temp in the shower. The couple that stayed in the front rooms only complaint was the delivery trucks at 5am for the grocery store next door. But we knew that when we booked. And the grocery store has everything! even a hot food bar. Beds were comfy, plenty of towels. Pool/patio area was amazing. Key west is hot in August. Would love to come back during a cooler month and open up all the double doors and have a cool breeze flow through. We would love to stay again, Just please fix those tiles!
