Set back behind a manicured front lawn in Key West's Casa Marina neighborhood, The Tipsy Pelican Cottage is a two-bedroom, two-bath island home for up to five guests, with a big front porch, a private plunge pool, and Higgs Beach a short walk away.
The porch is where most days start. It's large enough for a dining table and a rocking chair, and it looks out over the lawn and the palms that line the street. Inside, the living area is roomier than you'd expect from a cottage, with high ceilings, fans overhead, and plenty of seating around the TV. It runs straight into a generous kitchen, where a long island with bar seating gives everyone a place to land while dinner comes together.
Out back, the fenced yard is built around the plunge pool. At about 11 by 11 feet, it's made for cooling off after a day in the sun, with loungers and umbrellas alongside. A shaded outdoor dining table and a grill sit just off the house, so meals can move outside without much effort.
The first bedroom has a king bed and a TV. The second bedroom sleeps four with a Murphy bed and a twin & trundle bed, a good setup for kids or friends traveling together. Two full bathrooms keep mornings easy.
Casa Marina is one of the quieter, more residential corners of the island, and it puts a lot within reach on foot or by bike. Higgs Beach and the Edward B. Knight Pier are close by for a swim or a sunrise walk. The upper end of Duval Street and the Southernmost Point are about half a mile away, and Mallory Square, the Hemingway Home, and Fort Zachary Taylor are a quick bike ride across Old Town.

Key West is the place to visit the lively nightlife and relax in the historic charm, flamboyance, and conch-style architecture that early Bahamian settlers made famous. It embodies a clash of the past and the present, and every building (including this rental) in Key West reflects this eclectic ambiance!
