My husband and I love to stay at the Garden house in key west. We go down at least twice a year. It makes us feel like family at the inn. John keeps the inn well kept. It just got a nice paint job on the outside, looks nice and crisp!! Picket fence comfy porch, and the nice friendly Nancy... More

During a Feruary stay my wife and I with a friend in tow occupied two rooms at the Garden House. Let's face it, Key West in season is neither a bargain nor a value, and the Garden House is no exception. On the plus side, it has a good location on Elizabeth Street near Duval and the seaport, which was... More

We just returned from a 5-day trip to KW where we stayed at The Garden House on Elizabeth Dr. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely book there again. You just can't beat their rates in conjunction with the location and amenities. The bathrooms were a little small but that would be our only complaint. We were really NEVER... More

We booked this B&B based on its proximity to Duval Street, the lovely pictures, and on favorable reviews. Well, it was too much money for too much average. Room was lovely enough and looked just like it was pictured. It was clean and tidy, but right above the breakfast patio, so the manager's gravelly voice and smoke wafted up into... More

Aside from an excellent location, the Garden House has no redeeming features. From the difficult street parking to the incredibly small rooms, this B & B was a humongous disappointment. The room was so small, that my husband and I could not walk around at the same time, one of us had to be sitting on the bed while the... More

Aside from an excellent location, the Garden House B & B has no redeeming features. From the very difficult street parking to the incredibly small rooms, this place offered nothing in the way of comfort and amenities that I have known in many other B & Bs. The room was so small, that my husband and I were unable to... More

We only booked this place 24 hours before we arrived, and sadly they could only let us stay the one night. But from the moment we drove up and were welcomed by host John to their freebie happy hour, we felt at home. Quaint rooms, nice continental breakfast, similarly minded fellow guests, super location a few minutes walk from the... More

We stayed at the Garden house 1/24-1/27 and found it to be a comfortable and friendly B & B. We stayed in the Royal Poinciana, room #1. I found the bed to be comfortable, good size room and very clean. The patio was nice. It is shaded so you won't have the sun shining on you, but that's what I... More

The website looked inviting, but we too should have read the reviews before booking. The location was fantastic. Upon arrival and checking into our room my husband gave me that deer in the headlight look, and I said, at least it’s clean. We then proceeded to bring our bags in. As we rolled them across the mounds of fallen banyan... More

We should have read reviews before we booked. We had the room with a little patio. Bed was soft and really squeaky. The room size was fine. The bathroom was horrid, tiny skinny shower unit with moldy walls. The walls in the bathroom had holes in them and the floor was dirty. The outside patio was small and dark, not... More
