Little Torch Key Nest - Ocean view with pool
This Lower Keys 6BR/4.5 getaway has a private boat basin and ramp, a pool, and a separate guest house with its own kitchen and living room. Relax in your outdoor oasis at the water's edge before heading out to scuba dive, shop, fish, or even embark on a lobstering adventure. Located on Pine Channel, you can walk to fresh seafood and delicious wings at Kiki's Sandbar in 4 blocks or take a quick ride to Cuba Coffee in 2.4 miles. Take a picturesque drive to Key West's Duval Street in 45 minutes, home to world-famous pubs and fine dining alike. LIVING AREAS With a 4BR home and a full 2BR guesthouse, this unique Little Torch Key retreat has ample space for all your guests - plus a beautiful pool and private boat basin with ramp. In the main house, the light-filled living room has a sleeper sofa, love seat, and armchair surrounding a 40” TV. Settle in with your favorite shows or simply enjoy the water views. A den offers peace and quiet when you want to relax with a new book. The guest house living room has tile floors, a sleeper sofa, couch, and a 36” TV. KITCHEN & DINING Indulge your inner chef in the pristine kitchen, where granite counters and stainless steel appliances shine. A French-door fridge and double-basin sink make meal prep and cleanup simple and efficient. When it's time to dine, head to the sunny formal dining area with seating for six. The guesthouse kitchen also features granite counters and stainless steel appliances, plus a three-person dining table. BEDROOMS & BATHS Six bedrooms between the main house and the guest house accommodate 12 guests. Both homes are single-story. In the main house, the master suite has a king-size bed and a private bath with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed and cheerful buttercup walls, and the third has a set of twins perfect for the kids. A shared bath between the two has a tub/shower combination. Another queen-size bedroom has its own en-suite bath with a walk-in shower. In the guest house, the fifth bedroom has a set of twin-size beds and the sixth has a cozy queen. The shared bath between the two rooms is equipped with a walk-in shower, and another half bath off the kitchen in the main house adds convenience. OUTDOOR AREAS Step outside to your private backyard oasis complete with a shimmering pool, private boat basin, and boat ramp. A grill is at the ready for cookouts and time of day, and two dining areas invite al fresco meals beside the water. Find more seating and ocean views on the covered patio. EXTRA AMENITIES Guest amenities include two washer/dryer sets, complimentary Wi-Fi, and parking for five cars. THE LOCATION Your Pine Channel retreat is a quick stroll from local eateries and close to every outdoor adventure you could dream of. Strike Zone is a local favorite for fishing charters and snorkeling along Looe Key. Key West proper is 45 minutes away by car. The drive down US-1 is absolutely stunning, and before you know it you're at the doorstep of Duval Street's famous pubs and restaurants.

Beautiful place to stay. We were able to rent a boat a couple of doors down and park it at the property boat landing. Easy access to Overland highway, restaurants and other Keys.

We loved every minute of it
I have rented quite a few places for our vacations in different parts of the country and this vacation was exceptional. I can not think of one thing that would make it better. From the time we got there and put the boat in the dock until the time we left it was great!
This home had everything we needed for a great vacation
Heated pool
Space for our boat
Beautiful view
We would definitely stay here again

Had a wonderful time with our son, daughter in law and two granddaughters in the main house while our friends stayed in the guest house. Loved the pool, view, cleanliness of the houses and the outdoors. Perfect location!
Perfect location, houses were exactly what we needed for our group. The private pool made afternoons very relaxing after boating all day.
The private boat basin and kayaks were the icing on the cake!
We’ll be back!
The property is a wonderful location. Kiki’s is within walking distance and a wonderful place. The pool is this property’s biggest asset. I would have given it a 5 star but the property could use a little tlc and updating. I would definitely stay again.
What a wonderful place! Pool was awesome, boat access and location was exceptional, and house was perfectly laid out for our extended family with kids and infants. House and guest house were in great condition, all the needed amenities were there, and easy check in. Kikis right down the road was a fun spot for dinner.
Great place! We usually stay at Venture Out every year but decided to try somewhere new. Great place! Convient pool right there at the home, place to park boat right there at the property. Plan on returning! Property manager returned questions promptly.
Property was big was nice to have multiple houses to fit all of our family. Great views of water and aquatic wildlife! Property had all listed amenities. Phenomenal sunrises. The kids practically lived in the pool. Location was great fishing guide picked us up right at the property and close proximity to great restaurants. Would definitely book again!
The size of the house and guest house was perfect for our large group! It was really nice having the guest house on the same property. We really enjoyed the pool and kayaks. The house could use some TLC, you can tell it has been well loved, a once through with maintenance and touch up paint would help tremendously. The location was perfect, close to everything.

Little Torch Key Nest
We've been spending spring break at this property for several years, and we love it. It's on a quiet key, but also close to a grocery store, tiki bar, and boat rental. The house isn't fancy, but it's clean and comfortable, and set up well for large groups. My suggestions for the owners are to stock the kitchen with more large serving bowls/platters, and to provide more additional bedding. There are pull out couches, but we didn't see any additional bedding. Overall, we love this place.
The property is what made our week stay so amazing. The kids loved being on the water and loved the pool. There are kayaks on-site and we brought a paddle board that we used daily. Right from the dock we saw sharks, barracuda, parrot fish, and an octopus.
The house had plenty of space for multiple families to spread out. All around, a great house and property. Close to Bahia Honda and not a far drive to Key West either- get location!
This is the second time that we have rented this home and it is by far our favorite. We rent several a year. It has beautiful landscaping and is in a great location. Kitchens are stocked very well and having the guesthouse is just amazing and gives the other 2 couples plenty of privacy and space. The pool is amazing. Location is perfect for renting a boat, sitting by the pool or just relaxing under a palm tree.
Great facility to meet large group needs; just dated/tired
The location was excellent. Close to several local amenities (fishing charter, boat rental, local pub) and easy out to US1. There was room to accommodate everyone. The pool was nice and the patio was very accommodating for a large group. There were some issues with cleanliness which we easily resolved on our own. The place is tired and needs some updating/repairs.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Nice place exterior of building worn.
We had a good time. Location is great. Interior condition of rooms pretty nice for old keys style. Exterior of building needs pressure cleaning and painting. Patio deck needs pressure cleaning and painting. Mold on exterior house and pool deck. Looks like no exterior care whatsoever. Major seaweed at ramp and stairs leading into water very slippery with mold.
We have stayed at this property several times for a reason. Great place!

Perfect!
Little Torch Key houses were perfect for our family. Everything was clean and well maintained. I was very impressed and should we make our way back to the we will definitely look at housing through Walkabout Retreats. Thank you everything.
Truly unbelievable! Amazing location. Outdoor space is incredible. The house and the cottage are perfection. Would love the opportunity to stay again. Best lobster trip ever
This property was perfect for our family vacation! Plenty of room to spread out and be together! The boat ramp was a plus! the pool was so refreshing, and we spent a lot of time relaxing in it. Kiki's is in walking distance and has a great atmosphere and live music. We shuttled down to Key West one night and had a blast!! We came to lobster, snorkel on the reefs and relax at the sandbar, all very close to this property! We didn't want to leave! We will definitely stay here again.
