The Secret Grotto
Step into this stunning 3,220-square-foot sanctuary nestled on nearly 5,000 square feet of lush, private paradise. This spacious Key West retreat boasts 3 oversized bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and an entertainer’s dream layout designed for unforgettable moments with family and friends.
Inside, be wowed by the chef’s kitchen—gleaming with top-of-the-line Viking appliances including a 48-inch gas range, built-in steamer, wine cooler, and rich Cherry cabinetry—perfect for crafting gourmet meals or casual island snacks. The open-concept living and entertainment area flows effortlessly, ideal for relaxing or hosting lively gatherings.
Step outside through two grand sliding doors to your own tropical oasis. Lounge by the expansive lagoon-style pool complete with a mesmerizing grotto waterfall, or unwind on sun-kissed loungers and dine alfresco with seating for eight under the open sky. Private, fully fenced, and inviting—this backyard paradise is your personal slice of island heaven.
Upstairs, discover three sumptuous en-suite bedrooms designed for ultimate comfort and privacy. The primary suite pampers you with a king-size bed, cozy sitting area, smart TV, a private balcony overlooking the pool, and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring a jacuzzi tub, dual vanities, and a spacious walk-in closet.
Two additional guest suites offer king and queen beds, elegant sitting areas, smart TVs, and luxurious bathrooms with walk-in closets, ensuring every guest feels right at home.
Additional amenities include a two-zone HVAC system for perfect climate control, impact windows and sliding doors for tranquility and safety, plus secured off-street parking for two vehicles.
Location is everything: Situated in vibrant Mid-Town Key West, you’re just minutes from pristine beaches, iconic landmarks like the Southernmost Point, Mallory Square, the buzzing 200 Block of Duval Street, and a variety of top-notch dining and nightlife options. Whether you prefer a vehicle or golf cart, everything you want is within easy reach.
Bonus: Heat your private pool during cooler months (November 15 - May 1) for just $20 per day—perfect for year-round luxury.
The Secret Grotto is more than a vacation home — it’s your personal island retreat, combining spacious elegance, upscale finishes, and unbeatable location to create a getaway you’ll want to return to again and again.
