Olivia by Duval is a little gem of a property, just steps from the craziness of Duval Street. Buffered from the noise and hub-bub of the craziness on Duval, you can relax, unwind and rest at Olivia by Duval in this little slice of Paradise, and be just a one-minute's walk from Duval when you're ready to re-enter the real...

I cannot say enough good things about my stay here! We stayed in the porch side room in the pool house and it was perfect! Location was great. The room was clean, very spacious, beds were comfy, shower was hot & strong, and we got a free cold beer upon check-in. Plus, the price was fantastic! My only complaint is... More

First off let me just say there will plenty more trips for us to Key West and we will be staying at Olivia By Duval; no question. DJ checked us in on our first day, gave us each a beer and tons of coupons, tips and answered all of our questions completely! We stayed in the Poolside Balcony. Wonderful! Wonderful!... More

We stayed one week night last week. Great location. Central to everything and easy to walk anywhere you want to go. Check in was easy and we were pleasantly surprised by our room...great for the price. Clean, comfy bed, nice little kitchen area and great little courtyard outside. We paid $10 to park out front for the night and wanted... More

Your kind words regarding our guesthouse are very much appreciated by our small staff who work so hard to make us "five stars for what we are"...not fancy, just clean, comfortable, friendly, and a wonderful location. Hurry back to see us and Key West! More

Stayed for five days this past week and totally enjoyed the experience. Far enough off Duval to not hear the traffic or noise but close enough to walk to anything I wanted to. First time for the clothing-optional experience and never felt uncomfortable. All the folks I met around the pool were very easy to talk with and nice.

Very pleased your stay was nice and relaxing and your experience with clothing optional was a good one. Our property is relatively new at "clothing optional". Our guests seem to enjoy the option, whether they chose to use it or wear traditional swimming attire! Thank you. More

We enjoyed the kays Cottage BUT The floors were so dirty that we had to wash our feet anytime we walked on them with out shoes..The bed was hard. The water pressure was slow. The Pool was two blocks away. Besides that i enjoyed the location and the people were nice

We wish you had let the office know immediately that the floor was not to your satisfaction. We could have fixed it immediately. The bed will be checked today. A memory top could have perhaps made it more comfortable for you. We try to ensure everyone knows the pool is a couple minute away and apologize that it was a... More

Such a quaint beautiful bed and breakfast! So friendly and welcoming. Located a bit farther down Duval but still a great location where we just walked (or scooted) to everywhere we needed to go! Clothing optional pool we were unaware of but not even an issue. Watch our video experience in key west here http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=O8svK8426T8

We are a guesthouse and recommend many fun and delicious locations for breakfast and are conveniently located steps off Duval between the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. It pleases our staff that you enjoyed our humble "abode". It is not for those who like large hotel amenities, like a bar, room service, etc. But many places deliver and we... More
