Charming Key west cottage

We took a week break from midwestern winter at the Potters Cottage in Key West, and had a lovely, relaxing time. The cottage is just as pictured, lots of thoughtful amenities. We’d love to return.

Potters Cottage

Historic Key West Vacation Rentals management company is a 10 out of 10 company to work with. We will contact them again for our next trip to Key West. Potters Cottage was extremely clean, in a great location, nice outside space with plenty of different sitting areas that was around the pool, the cocktail pool was clean and warm, and the front porch was cozy.

Perfect KW stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Potter’s cottage is the perfect location if you want to experience all kinds of Key West attractions. Everything is walkable from this spot and it was also quiet at night for sleeping. The house was well equipped, clean and provided plenty of space for four adults. We enjoyed the backyard every day of our stay from coffee and breakfast in the morning to afternoon pool time and then late night card playing with cocktails. We had a great time!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Charming cottage-KW vibes! Cottage is in a great location-walkable to Southernmost, action on Duval, great restaurants and Higgs Beach.A quiet respite as well if you choose. Indoor decor was comfortable and well maintained-especially loved the cozy side library space. The pool was the perfect size with lots of sunny areas and cozy shaded seating-ceiling fans were a huge plus. Communication from management company throughout the booking and stay was fantastic. We will be back!

Perfect Key West Getaway

Great place for two couples in key west! Proximity to town and sites was prime. The house felt well maintained, clean and up to date. Communication with the rental property was so helpful and timely via text and email. We were here while Milton was approaching and the rental company made us feel well prepared, in the event things got worse. Would recommend for sure!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was perfect for my girls trip for 3. It was nicely decorated, very clean and provided everything we needed. The pool area was a must for an afternoon break, especially since we visited during record high temperatures. Restaurants and shopping was close by so we could walk most places, which we also appreciated. Absolutely perfect in all respects, no negatives. Management company was accessible if needed.

A Charming Cottage in Old Town Key West

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at Potters Cottage! The house is well appointed and wonderfully maintained. It was perfect for our family of 4. There are 2 beds plus three sitting areas with couches (1 pulls out). The furniture inside and out was comfortable! The kitchen had everything we needed to make and serve Easter dinner- we were thrilled. The pool was literally a step away and was a great place to relax and refresh at any time. The washer and dryer were large and easy to use. Two minor drawbacks- the house does not come with parking or a residential permit. We were never able to grab the spot in front of the house. The upstairs bedroom area is accessible by a narrow, step staircase which may be challenging for some travelers. The rental company, Historic Key West Vacation Rentals, was great to work with. We look forward to returning!

Excellent stay!

Even nicer than the photos, we absolutely loved our stay at the Potter’s Cottage. We loved the option to sit outside in a couple different seating areas. The little plunge pool was perfect to cool off and chill. We cooked a bit and found the kitch well appointed. We will definitely stay again!!!

Great stay in a cozy cottage

The place was super cute and great for our group of 5. Our 2 older folks stayed in the first floor, and we enjoyed the second floor with the huge bed and separate bathroom. The extra pull out was perfect for our 23 year old. Loved the porches and the great walkable location. We'll definitely book with them again.

Very comfortable property. I will also point out the stairs to the upstairs Master are very steep. A senior or someone with knee problems would be unable to sleep in that room.

Loved This Cozy Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Potter's Cottage was in a great location and was perfect for our 5 day New Year's vacation. It was very clean, well-appointed and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool too! We liked that it was just a block off the quieter end of Duval, and we easily walked or biked to everything we wanted to do. The room with the pullout couch had doors for privacy and was just big enough for the bed unfolded, but my 5'11" son said it was very comfortable, and he was happy in there. One thing to note is the steps to the upstairs bedroom are steep, so this is not a cottage for someone who has issues with stairs. We really appreciated the help of the wonderful staff at HKWVR planning our first trip to Key West!
