Shared Pool + Gallery Art | Walk to Duval + Southernmost | Duval Sea Turtle

Duval Sea Turtle by AvantStay — a roomy townhome above upper Duval with shared pool access, steps from Southernmost Point.

Tucked just above a courtyard of shops and restaurants on the quieter, upper end of Duval Street, Duval Sea Turtle puts the best of Key West a flight of stairs and a short stroll away. Inside, it's a roomy townhome decorated throughout with pieces from local galleries and artists — including the super-sized sea turtle that lends the home its name — with real space to spread out.

The home sleeps six across two bedrooms, anchored by a king primary suite with its own bathroom and a private balcony — claim it for slow mornings with coffee and the day's news before the rest of the group stirs. The second bedroom pairs a queen with a single bed, and a sofa bed in the living room rounds out the sleeping arrangements, making this an easy fit for a family or a couple of couples traveling together. Soothing pastels warm the fully equipped kitchen, and when it's time to eat you can set the table inside or carry your plates out to a second balcony off the living room. Bose surround sound and three TVs handle the downtime; WiFi keeps you connected when you need to be.

Downstairs, the shared courtyard unfolds like a tropical garden, and guests have access to its large community pool and lounge — exactly the kind of place you'll drift toward after a long day of sightseeing. Should your stay land during one of Key West's many parades, the deck offers one of the best seats in town.

Beyond the courtyard, you're in the thick of it. The Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory sits just a couple of blocks up the street, and the iconic Southernmost Point — that must-do photo — is an easy walk away. Galleries, shops, and Duval's endless run of dining and nightlife stretch out in every direction, and with everything this close, you may never reach for the car.

Key West has always thrived on contradiction: lively yet laid-back, steeped in the conch-style architecture and Bahamian history that gave the island its flamboyant character, and humming with present-day energy all at once. This townhome carries a little of that eclectic spirit. Come experience Key West, AvantStay style.
