Secret Villa II @ Old Town: with Private Pool, close to Duval!

- Secret Villa II -

A Newly Renovated, Private Sanctuary, Centrally Located off of Duval Street with your very own private pool. Secret Villa II is available for rent exclusively on VRBO and HomeAway. We have recently completed a total update of the pool deck to match the beauty and size of her sister property, Secret Villa I. Please Note there is a Security Camera On the Front porch. Please Contact the Property Manager To Have It Disconnected if you Wish

Secret Villa II is the perfect vacation rental for discerning, upscale clientele. The property is a newly renovated 3BR, 3BA home with a heated pool situated in the heart of old town on a quiet and private lane. The fenced-in private pool is surrounded by lush gardens, natural vegetation, and tropical canopies, providing our guests with the privacy and intimacy that Key West visitors are looking for. Newly renovated inside and out so that you and your party experience Key West in a clean & comfortable environment where everything is just right.

If you are looking for additional accommodations our sister property Secret Villa I is available in the same compound. Please see our VRBO listing #754594 for availability.
- The Location -

SVII is just 1.5 blocks from Key West's most famous party area - Duval Street! Enjoy the hustle and bustle of live music and world renowned restaurants, then you and your party can retire to SVII's private, fence enclosed sanctuary.

SVII is conveniently located on a private lane just off Simonton, between Southard and Fleming (just behind the Marquesa Hotel). It’s an extremely unique location for such a large Villa. SVII provides the convenience of being within walking distance to all the action Old Town has to offer, while still allowing guests to retreat to the sanctuary, a much more tranquil atmosphere that only a home on a quiet Key West lane can provide. Although a driveway is provided, most guests find they leave the keys at home and instead walk or bike to local attractions - fine dining, bars, galleries, nightlife, shopping, museums, and much, much more! And although the heated pool may encourage you to relax and sunbathe at home, three of the most popular Key West beaches are within a minute's bike ride.

Please note - one mid-sized car or small SUV can comfortably fit in the driveway.

- Secret Villa II is a Healthy Environment Experience -

Anyone who has traveled in the tropics knows humidity is the enemy, quickly turning even elegant venues into musty unhealthy experiences. No matter how much a place is cleaned or overly scented with perfumes to hide the problem, the only way to have a healthy house is to address humidity and air quality head on!

At Secret Villa II, the entire structure has been renovated including the air quality and air handling equipment. All furniture, draperies, mattresses, pillows and linens are clean and new. All duct work was either replaced or cleaned with eco-friendly antimicrobial agents. The HVAC system includes HEPA filtration and whole house dehumidification. The house has hurricane impact windows and doors that seal in the low humidity and HEPA-clean air making it pleasant throughout the entire house.

Also while guests may smoke their Havana cigars out by the pool, we have a “No Smoking” policy inside the house. The result is an extraordinarily healthy environment where guests wake up feeling refreshed, energized, and ready to meet the day!

- The Accommodations -

All SVII rooms are large and comfortable making the house a perfect getaway for 2 to 3 couples. The 2nd floor has 2 master bedrooms each with an en suite bathroom - one with a California King bed and the other with a King bed. The upstairs bedrooms share a large outside porch where guests can enjoy a late night glass of wine while watching the night sky and taking in a cool evening breeze. The first floor bedroom shares a bath with the living room and comes furnished with a Queen sized bed. The first floor bedroom is perfect for in-laws or grandparents that may be part of your vacation party.

All beds have recently been updated with double pillow tops, ultra luxurious, extra firm mattresses. All bedrooms include extra soft, high thread count sheets with 6 pillows, a comforter, extra sheets, blankets, towels, dark make-up removing towels, a ceiling fan, black-out curtains, smoke detector, safe, and flat screen cable TV. Every convenience has been thought-of and added, including even small conveniences such as powerstrips with USB connections on both sides of the bed. Although designed for 3 couples, the living room also includes a full-sized pullout bed.

- The Private Pool -

One of the highlights of this home is the private pool area. Fully fenced and surrounded by lush tropical greenery for safety and complete privacy, this will undoubtedly be a primary gathering place for your group. The comfortable chaise lounges can be pulled into the sun or the shade right beside the pool. Sun bathing can be on the upper terrace or poolside, and multiple pool towels are provided.

The pool area includes a propane grill for an outdoor BBQ by the pool. Enjoy the view from the upper terrace that overlooks the rooftops and the trees of Old Town, or mix-up some much-deserved cocktails in the blender as you watch the rest of your group play in the pool and the burgers cook on the grill.

- The Living Area & Kitchen -

Secret Villa II boasts an extra large living room with high ceilings and luxurious modern furnishings including a 60” LED HDTV with premium Cable. Secure 100MB/s high-speed internet with wifi is available throughout the property. Floor to ceiling double french doors allow natural light to pour into the first floor all day while blackout curtains provide privacy at night. A full complement of games are located in the credenza under the living room TV (i.e. Poker chip set and playing cards, Clue, Monopoly, Cards Against Humanity, Yahtzee, Scrabble, etc.).

Amateur and master chefs alike will love their cooking experience in the fully equipped and spacious kitchen. If you enjoy staying in and creating your own meals, every high-end modern kitchen appliance can be found right in the comfort of your vacation home. The kitchen includes state of the art appliances and all of the tools and utensils you will need to prepare a meal at home when taking a break from the restaurant options of Key West. Open shelving allows guests to easily select the right wine, beer, or cocktail glass for your own happy hour (blender provided!). The outdoor patio, accessible from either the kitchen or living room, has seating for eight.

Conveniently located at the end of the kitchen is a state-of-the-art, over-sized washer and dryer, making laundry tasks quick, easy, and finished while you’re out and about enjoying the town.

- Summary -

SVII is more than fantastic – instead it’s actually JUST RIGHT! Newly renovated, clean, comfortable, spacious, private, lush, and centrally located.

Pretty much perfect…
Superb location... secluded yet so close to everything in Old Town Key West. Sparkling clean. Comfortable. Thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Very close to truly excellent restaurants. A market a close walk less than two blocks away. The Owner is responsive, happy to help and patient. I rented for a full month and we became friends. Take care of this place and it'll take care of you... perfectly.

Holiday sun and fun
This property is very comfortable, well appointed and extremely convenient to all KW Old Town destinations including a grocery around the corner. Property manager was very accommodating. We would stay here again. Only two suggestions: 1, beds had heavy blankets which were hot at night given the 74 degrees thermostat limitation; bedding needs to be more flexible. And 2, we never could figure out the Apple TV thing and just used airplay for Google TV on my phone (but we were not here to watch TV anyway).

Fun times in Key West
Perfect for our family. Everyone had their own room and bathroom and plenty of space. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and a grocery store was in close walking distance. Pool was perfect too. Very central to most everything and a close ride to things too far to walk. We ranged from 13 year old to mid 20's couple to a "little" older couple and all enjoyed

Perfect Location!
Our overall experience was very good with just a couple small exceptions. Of importance to us on vacation is good TV and good internet service. While the WIFI worked extremely well and handled all our devices, the TV was lacking. The write up on this property stated "cable TV" and at one place even "premium cable TV". At our age, streaming is not so prevalent and we enjoy our cable TV when we are in the house. This was extremely disappointing and frustrating as the Apple TV interface was terrible. We could hardly ever find any local channels just to be able to see news and weather. I will not go on about it, but we would simply never have rented this property had we known it did not have good cable TV as advertised on VRBO. Otherwise, we had a great time and enjoyed Key West and especially the central location of this property.

This house was perfect for our family of five. Our teen daughter had her own space and our younger kids were upstairs by us. The pool was great! The property manager was very responsive the couple of times we had questions. She went out of her way to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. The house was very clean! We appreciated having everything we needed to feel at home away from home. And you cannot beat this location! Walk everywhere or rent a golf cart for extra ease! We would definitely stay here again!
