Duval House: A Historic Key West Paradise
Located right on Duval Street in the heart of Key West, the Duval House offers an adults-only retreat that perfectly blends historic charm with modern luxury. Behind its front gate, visitors discover seven classic Conch-style shuttered homes surrounding a magnificent 100-year-old Banyan tree and lush tropical garden.
This island oasis provides the perfect balance of excitement and tranquility. While centrally positioned in the middle of Key West's vibrant action, the property offers a peaceful haven with brick walkways shaded by beautiful palm and bamboo trees meandering through expansive grounds. Guests can recover from their adventures by lounging beside the heated pool, working on an enviable tan that will make friends back home jealous.
The Duval House boasts a rich historical connection to Key West's celebrated cigar manufacturing industry. The property's grounds once housed the John S. Valdes Cigar Factory and parts of the S & F Fleitas Cigar Company, linking guests directly to the island's fascinating past as "the cradle of Cuban liberty."
Accommodations range from intimate Cabana Queen Rooms to spacious options like the Duval Street Apartment and Conch Cottage, each featuring private bathrooms, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and Keurig machines.
