I was happy with the location far from Duval St.'s noise, and the relatively reasonable price. My room was small but clean, but had a musty smell. No toilet paper roll holder, no towel hook or bar by the shower and sink. Breakfast was bad bagels and an orange or bananna- does any B&B in Key West serve a homemade... More

Carol was great and good tips and directed us to great restaurant for my sister's 50th bday. Location is great, rooms were clean and good size, block away from rental bikes, nice walk to Duval, beautiful tropical, fresh ice water, nice breakfast set up, fantastic jacuzzi type pool to relax in, secure, safe and a heck of a good time!!!...

We enjoyed everything about our stay! The staff was very helpful with any question and the locataion was clsoe enough to walk everywhere but, far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. Will be staying again on our next trip down. More

The staff are very welcoming and helpful. They gave us great Key West tips, and even loaned us a cooler to take with us on a sunset cruise. Even the smallest room is a decent size, and the location is perfect. I recommend renting a bike from Eaton Bikes to get around town. More

Great location, staff, service and experience! Easy walk, quiet and beautiful scenery. Visit Mo's down White street towards the pier...the most amazing cuisine I have ever had! (and the sweet shop down the road has awesome key lime cookies!) More

A decent value in KW. A short walk to Old Town and two great bakeries. Harbor Walk is a nice morning stroll. We had a nice stay overall. Things to note: The "pool" is a hot tub. Breakfast is very basic. Street noise was surprising at times. Some things were showing signs of neglect that would be easy to fix... More

This is a favorite of ours. Each room is named for an author or artist and are very well maintained. A continental breakfast is served in the gardens every morning. You can relax or get crazy at Mallory Square or Duval St just a walk away. A great home away from home. More

This converted old house on the quiet edge of the historic district of Key West is an easy walk from Duval Street, but far enough removed from the crowds of college kids on spring break that you can get a good night's sleep. We stayed in the McCullers room, which is the smallest one on the premises--clean and tastefully furnished,... More

The room was equipped with all necessities. Upon arrival, the concierge helped us plan a lovely day, directing us to good food, and out of the way shops. We enjoyed the spa tub and free breakfast. We were also able to fill our water bottles with filtered water. We stayed in Herlihy suite, and it was a good experience. The... More
