Escape to the wonderful Cuban Paradise!

Built in 1917 as a “club” for Cuban cigar makers and their families as their home-away-from-home, this building soon became the center of social and community life for the Cuban population in Key West. After the original Cuban Club burned down in 1983, it was restored and converted to luxurious and spacious suites.

Escape the stress and cares of your daily life with a vacation to the wonderful Cuban Paradise! This roomy two-bedroom condo has a private balcony to enjoy all the hustle and energy of the famous Duval Street. The primary bedroom sits in a loft overlooking the living room, and it features a four-post queen-sized bed, two nightstands with reading lamps, an alarm clock, private ensuite bathroom, large closet, and a small electronic safe. Located downstairs is another bedroom with a queen-sized bed, private ensuite bathroom, a nightstand with reading lamp, large closet, and a flat-screen TV.

The expansive living room features two plush sofas (one of which folds into a sleeper sofa), a coffee table, glass kitchen table with six comfy chairs, and a flat-screen TV. If cooking is your passion, then you’ll love the fully-stocked kitchen, which includes a full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, coffee maker, toaster, and microwave.

You’ll want to take pictures at the Southernmost Point in the continental United States (only 3.5 blocks away), and fulfill all of your shopping desires at the dozens, if not hundreds, of shops and stores distributed along Duval Street and the adjoining streets.

One block away is Banana Cafe, a fantastic French restaurant for breakfast with crepes, baguettes, and croissants. The sandy shores of South Beach are just three blocks away, with the Southernmost Cafe right there for lunch. The best sushi in town is served at Origami, also located one block away. It’s all there for you, so come and enjoy!

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PROPERTY DOES NOT HAVE A POOL. You may use the pool at Dante’s if you utilize their food and beverage services or you may purchase a day pass using the link below at any of the hotels located near your rental.

Great Rental-April 2025

The place was clean and well kept. Location is very convenient. It was a bit noisy at times due to being on Duval street but not overly so. We quickly got used to it. The management company was very responsive and proactive. Definitely recommend.

Location! Spacious and great porch

The location on Southern Duval is great! The porch for people watching was spacious and comfortable. Location is far enough from loud, hustle and bustle of bars but a short 10-15 minute walk to Sloppy Joe's and 20 mins to Mallory Square. Apartment was spacious and had a nice setup, needs a deep clean and maybe some paint refreshSquare.

Amazing Location

This is the second time I've used this rental, and although it is showing a little bit of wear, I wasn't disappointed. Comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, decently stocked kitchen (although the ice maker didn't cooperate), and plenty of towels (bath and beach). The balcony could use some new furniture/cushions and a deep cleaning, but even as it is, it's still a great place to spend the afternoon. The check-in/out process is seamless no matter what time you arrive and depart. Having a dedicated off-street parking spot is a huge benefit.

Nice time in KW

The unit is very nice, open, with a balcony, two bed and bathrooms...plenty of space and nicely set up for a get-a-way. Well located for activity on Duval Street. Sleeping in the upper bedroom/loft, while lovely, was a bit on noisier side as things like trash trucks and roosters (both in the early mornings) tend to reverberate and echo...regardless of how much poultry you eat while in KW.

Loved our stay

We had a great time at Cuban Paradise. The location is perfect to put you in the middle of all the fun Key West has to offer and the balcony was a great place to relax while seeing all the action. The property was great. Clean, easy access, and all the amenities needed to have the flexibility as if at home. Highly recommend

Location

We like the location of this property and enjoyed our stay. The only issue, and it is not a major issue, was with the pool; location is too far away and too small to accommodate the amount of guests who could use it.
