J Ferrara #9: Charming Studio Oasis, Steps from Duval Street, Southernmost Point & Shared Pool!

Welcome to J Ferrara #9, your ideal retreat in the heart of Key West!

Nestled on a quiet street in the artist-inspired condominium complex in Bahama Village, The Galleria has a rich history dating back to the early 1900s. It was once a popular spot for traveling artists who came to Key West for inspiration and showcased their work in the nearby art galleries on Duval Street. Our cozy studio offers a peaceful base for your fun, adventurous vacation. Just 10 blocks from the beach & a short 2.5 blocks from the famous Duval Street, our location provides easy access to the best of Key West. Whether you're returning from a day of sun & sand, a boat excursion, or a leisurely stroll down Duval Street, our studio is the perfect Old Town Key West stay! Our vacation rental is named after one of our dear and talented friends, James Ferrara of J Ferrara Gallery. Based in South Florida, James specializes in underwater photography. You will find several of his pieces throughout the room! Whether you seek relaxation, adventure, or a mix of both, J Ferrara #9 provides the perfect base for your Key West getaway.

It is a small unit, but just what we needed. Walking distance from Duval street. Good neighborhood, easy street parking.

Good location, property was well maintained. Rooms are small and very small bathroom with shower sink combination was a little challenging. Pool area was nice-clean.

We enjoyed our stay! The location was really great. We recommend MoonDog and The Cafe for good places to eat! We walked to two different beaches from here! And we enjoyed the pool on site. Thanks for a great time in Key West. We'll be back!

You can’t beat the location. Great pool. The room was a lot smaller than we expected. Not much room to do anything other than sleep…..but we didn’t go to Key West to stay in the room…so it wasn’t that big of a deal. We would recommend to no more than one or two people staying.

My husband and I decided to do a short getaway. I found this place and it sounded to be perfect for the 2 of us. The place was easy to find and on-street parking was not a problem. All our adventures were within easy walking distance. The studio apartment is small but met our needs. Our first impression was very welcoming. We did not want for anything. There was ample extra supplies for our stay. We had to reach out to Tina shortly after our arrival due to a beeping battery on our smoke detector. I contacted Tina and she immediately responded. When we got back from dinner, all was fixed. We would definitely stay here again. A great place and a superb host!!

We had a great stay and the place was just right for the two of us. Didn’t feel cramped at all the tall ceilings and decor were perfect. The pool was nice too! Rented bikes and had no problem parking the car there. Felt safe thanks!

Very clean, very cozy! Short walk to Duval. The room is too dark, even during the day. The pool and easy access laundry area were great! Would recommend!

We had some difficulty with our check-in instructions which were resolved. Otherwise the property was as described, clean, small and adequate. We found parking easily and the pool was well kept and wonderful to swim in. The location is close to shopping, restaurants and the beach. I recommend this property if all you need is place to sleep and enjoy a dip in the pool.

Room was small but comfortable. Part of a larger house so we could hear others talking and moving around, which didn’t bother us, but something to note.

This rental was too small for us. We did enjoy the pool area and spent much of our time there.

It’s small, but it has everything you need. Manage expectations. This is a cracker box. But if you plan on staying in your room in Key West other than to shower or sleep, this might not be the place for you. Who wants to stay in their room in Key West though?
Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023

Although the shower was pretty cramped , it served the purpose. A couple of blocks from Duval Street , a few minutes from the Southernmost Point & a few minutes from Ft. Zachary. Unless you're going to stay in the room a lot , it's fine for 2 people. If you plan on staying in the room , just stay home.

So yes...it's small, but that fit perfectly for my wife & I. She's shorter than I am and loved the shower...I'm 6'1" but was able to make it work as well. It's got everything you need...bed, fridge, bathroom, fairly private pool...and it's Key West - not a place to hunker down in your room! The location is great for Duval & Whitehead, and bike rentals are nearby if you want to venture East. I would say my only suggestion is it may be time for a new mattress.

Quite a pit. Room a postage stamp, no separate shower area, just water running into a drain. Don’t recommend

Tucked away a couple blocks from the famous Duval Street - is this studio! First come first serve parking in front of the building made it easy to unload and park our car for our week in paradise. We walked inside to the super clean and perfectly decorated room. Has 2 different coffee makers (keurig & drip), small fridge and everything you could need for kitchenware and utensils. Under the bed were beach chairs too! The shower and toilet are one in the same, but the space was utilized well and again SUPER clean and accommodating for what we needed. The pool outback was amazing too! Relaxing, quiet and always well maintained. We never really heard our neighbors unless they were coming into the main hallway front entrance. Best part... on site washer and dryer! Even gave us the wash pods. That was a huge bonus! The place is small, but far exceeds your expectations! The artwork is incredible, makes you never want to leave the good life in the keys. Being able to walk to fantasy fest and shopping areas was all of 12 minutes. Of course, the keys life is most fun on mopeds! We will definitely be returning and be sending our friends and family to stay in this cute studio!

When we first arrived to the property my wife and I were getting our luggage out of the car within the first 10 mins of being there an homeless lady was begging for money to help feed her “3 kids” so there was red flag number one, then we noticed within 200 feet there is a housing authority within sight of the property and then on the back side of the block there is about 12 housing authorities, so we were very concerned about our belongings. Once we got into our room it was small but we expected that. The Fridge was froze up so we with had to wait for it to thaw out which mean there would have been water all over the floor so I just broke all the ice out my self. The owner said maintenance would not be able to fix it till tomorrow btw. When you take a shower, the shower curtain wraps around you every time you move or you are leaning against the tile wall. The tinny A/C unit in the room is right above your head at the bed so of course it runs all day and night trying g to keep up you can see about half inch of light coming through the door cracks so that is where all the cool air is going to. And if you want to cool off you can go for a dip in the community shared swimming pool with all the other 18 units in the property the best part is the pool is a wonderful 97 degrees so almost like a hot tub but more like old bath water. If you want a humbling experience this is the place for you. We even talked to the locals they told us we are staying in the hood, hints the tile.
