Our two night stay during the Key West Bacchanalia festival was very enjoyable. The owners were very helpful and were there in a heartbeat to help us with an air conditioning issue. I would HIGHLY reccomend staying here if you OK with a smaller room. The smaller room size was more than made up for by the quality of the... More

This is a nice, dog-friendly guest house in the heart of the city. There is off-street parking available, a big plus when you are this close to Duval. The room was very clean, but also very small. The shower was barely big enough to turn around in, and the A/C was not too efficient. The owners live upstairs, and are... More

We just spent 3 nights here and couldn't be happier. The owners, Marie and Michel live on site and do all the maintenance and cleaning. The property is spotless, rooms charming, and location perfect. It's just a couple blocks from Duval on a nice, quiet street. The value is unbelievable, best in Key West. We brought our bikes and all... More

I would normally have given this a 3 but because it was just what we needed and was as expected based on Tripadvisor reviews I gave it a 4. I am a timeshare owner with Hyatt and had reservations at the Sunset Harbor for my mother-in -law (who is normally our dog sitter when we go on vacation) and my... More

We stayed 3 nights in Key West and absolutely loved the place! The room: the room we had was comfy, it had a twin bed, a fridge (highly appreciated), air con, toilets and shower. The real plus was the view from the balcony! Directly in the heart of the beautiful Bahamian village. The owner of the house (a French couple)... More

We loved our stay. Marie could not be sweeter and we were thrilled to be in such a cute place that was so close to everything and allowed our dogs! It was tight with the two of us and our two dogs in our room but it felt very European to me which was fun. I would say that the... More

I chose the Caribbean House based on prior reviews on Trip Advisor. This guest house was "as advertised" and we were very pleased. Yes, the rooms are small, but they are spotless, very tastefully decorated, and quite pleasing to the eye. The location is very convenient, just a few blocks off Duval Street. Much quieter and nicer to get away... More

I don't have a lot of time to write this review because if I said everything I want to say, it would take a long time. Our experience (we had 4 rooms) was positive. We love the place and love Marie. She's a very accommodating and lovable person. The rooms and property are very clean. The room sizes are comparable... More

As some have stated the rooms are small, very small. But we are talking Key West here. I mean how many hours does one spend in their room when visiting Key West. The rooms are well kept and the owners are just plain wonderful. My wife and I love it and the price is right for what you are getting.... More
