IslandCityOasis - islandcityoasis

Featured pictures

One of the Colony Condominium cottages in historic Old Town Key West. Built in 1928 most likely as a compound for Cuban cigar makers during the time when this industry flourished on the island. Renovated in 1993 and operated as The Colony Exclusive Cottages hotel until 2004 when the units were sold as condominiums.

We first visited the island in the spring of 2006 and fell in love with the warm climate, history, architecture, restaurants, music, and night life that is uniquely Key West. And of course, the people watching – from the beautiful and exquisite to the extreme and unusual - you will see it all walking along world famous Duval Street! We were so hooked, we visited four more times within 18 months and purchased the Heron in June of 2007 so we could return again and again. And until we retire, we will share our “island city oasis” with our special guests. Whether this is your first visit to Key West, or your 21st please accept our sincere welcome.  See link to Condo & Rental Info to the right, and scroll down for photos of our condo and sights around town. 

   Welcome & Enjoy!
