Historic 2-Bedroom Cigar Maker’s Cottage – A Key West Gem!

Step back in time and experience Old Key West charm in this delightful 2-bedroom Cigar Maker's Cottage, built in the 1880s. Nestled at 1008 Whitehead Street, the cottage sits just across from where a bustling cigar factory once stood on Truman Avenue. The home's rich history includes ownership by David Kaufelt, a beloved Key West author and literary figure.

From the front porch, enjoy views of the iconic Key West Lighthouse, a perfect spot for relaxing and people-watching. Just a half block from the Hemingway House and one block from vibrant Duval Street, the location offers both tranquility and easy access to the heart of Key West’s culture and nightlife.

Inside, the home offers:

2 cozy bedrooms: one with a full-size bed and the second with two twins (which can be converted into a king upon request)

A bright, art-filled living room featuring works by local Key West artists and equipped with a TV and DVD player

A fully equipped kitchen with French doors that open to a lush tropical deck—ideal for indoor-outdoor living

Step outside to your private deck oasis—perfect for grilling on the large gas BBQ, dining al fresco, or unwinding with a cold drink under swaying palms.
