L'Habitation

Key West


A beautiful, classical Keys cottage, L'Habitation has fine rooms kitted out in light tropical shades, with lamps that look like contemporary art pieces and cozy quilts. The friendly bilingual owner welcomes guests in English or French. The front porch, shaded by palms, is a perfect place to stop and engage in Keys people-watching.
