Love the 1,000 square foot veranda.

We wish we were buying 822 Washington Street in Key West. Wow! Could we live large and entertain with style in this extraordinary single story home!

The spacious living room features a working fireplace.

Designed by Key West architect Tom Pope, the home was perfectly created for its tropical island setting—allowing for indoor/outdoor living at its best. The 3,500 square foot, four bedroom/four bath home has a wonderful floor plan with spacious rooms flowing beautifully to the outdoors. We love that the living room, kitchen, family room and master bedroom all open onto the spectacular 1,000 square foot veranda, overlooking the 33 foot heated pool and walled garden. The generous and inviting spaces would not deter us from inviting as many as 200 to 300 guests for an unforgettable party.

Swimming laps in the 33 foot heated pool, sure would beat going to the gym.

Located in the prestigious Casa Marina District, just a short stroll from Flagler’s historic hotel, Higgs Beach, Louie’s Backyard, and Upper Duval Street, the home’s location is ideal. We could walk or bike to dinner in the evening or pull the car out of the home’s unusual oversized garage.

From the first time we toured this private and special home, we could not stop talking about its exquisite highlights and imagining the endless possibilities.

Chico’s Cantina in Key West, Florida

Love the mole chicken enchiladas at Chico's Cantina!

We love the Mexican cuisine at Chico’s Cantina on Stock Island. Located at 5230 U.S. 1, just across the Cow Key Channel Bridge from Key West, dining at Chico’s is well worth the short trip.

Family owned and operated since 1984, Chico’s seasoned and friendly staff always makes us feel more than welcome. We love having our favorite beverages, along with a generous serving of hot tortilla chips and fresh salsa, placed before us as soon as we settle in. Decorated with a delightful mix of south of the border kitsch and old Key West charm, the covered outdoor patio is the perfect spot to relax with friends and family.

Famous for their locally caught fish tacos, Chico’s combines fresh ingredients to create a wonderful array of savory Mexican appetizers and entrees. I am usually torn between the delicious seafood enchiladas and the special mole chicken enchiladas. The fresh taco salad and the ground beef chimichanga top Dean’s list. Dean’s mom, Kathleen, is partial to both the cheese crisp and the deluxe chicken tacos. Chico’s tempting daily specials and generous menu selections keep us coming back for more.

Hands down, Chico’s Cantina serves the best Mexican cuisine in Key West.
