About This Property
(305) 296-2594 - BOWE CONCH HOUSE: (Monthly Vacation Rental - Not Available Long Term - This Property Rents For Between $2,500 - $5,000 Base Monthly Dependent On The Time Of Year And Does Not Include Tax Or Fees) The Bowe Conch House has evolved within the Thomas family, Conchs, born and raised in Key West, for more than 4 generations. Prior to buying the house in the 1930's for $2,500, George and Ethel Bowe-Thomas lived across the street paying $3.00 per month for rent! When the opportunity arose to own her own house, Ethel asked George how much money he had to assist in the effort. He replied, Woman, you always raise your basket higher than you can reach.She told him to give her what he had and she would take care of the rest. She did just that. To purchase their first house, Ethel continued to work as a cook for Father Marion of The Basilica of St. Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church. George worked as a pipe fitter on ships in the Naval yard including the famous USS Bushnell; he also worked as a laborer on the Seven Mile Bridge. Ethel planted the beautifully flamboyant poinciana tree in the backyard more than 80 years ago. Her husband said he was thrilled at the prospect of having a shade tree to sleep under when he grew old. It puzzled George that Ethel raised chickens but didn't want to eat them, yet he built a chicken coop to protect the biddies from the cats. Miss Ethel continued to order biddies from the Sears Roebuck catalog! Yes, the baby chickens were mail ordered! When their youngest daughter expressed a desire to attend college, George quipped in his usual chauvinistic manner, I'm not wasting my money sending no girl to college nevertheless, when Ethel was alone with her daugher, she whispered, You want to go to college? Yes was the answer. Then you'll go. Thus the family has named this The Bowe Conch House, honoring Ethel as the positive catalyst who made it all happen and has, posthumously, maintained the house's legacy with the education of her children.

Located about 90 miles north of Cuba, Key West is renowned for being the southernmost point of the continental United States. Key West is also regarded for being one of Florida’s most iconic tourist destinations, often spurring images of giant resorts, margaritas, and gift shops in the minds of many.
While it’s true that the island city is brimming with tropical-themed bars and restaurants — and nowhere in town is more than a few blocks from amazing ocean views — the majority of Key West is made up of residential neighborhoods. So it’s no surprise that Key West offers a wide variety of apartments and houses available for rent within walking distance of countless beautiful beaches and vibrant attractions.
Dozens of historic buildings and landmarks intermingle with the extensive nightlife and dining options (which include exceptional key lime pie offerings) to create a one-of-a-kind environment.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
