“Charming!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 13, 2012

Charming B&B right on Duval St. ... and yet away from the noisy section. Good value, clean and bright. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good Continental Breakfast. Slight downsides are noisy AC unit and shades that let in a fair amount of light in the upstairs unit in the back.

“b & b ?”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 23, 2012

We enjoyed our stay here ,the room was really nice and the staff were extremely friendly but we thought that this was more of a hotel than a B & B we stayed in 19 B & B during our trip and spent breakfast at most of them with the other quests where we could share our adventures. The breakfast here was very poor compared to other establishments ,though the good point was the location on Duval street near Hemingway's house and the southernmost point.

“Great accommodations, great location!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

We stayed three nights at this lovely little B&B, located right on Duval Street, but at the "quiet end" of the street. The location is perfect, right near the Southernmost Point and directly across the street from the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory. It is a bit of a hike to get to the other end of Duval, Mallory Square, etc., but we love to walk, so it wasn't a big deal for us. The staff were very professional and friendly. Our room was great - very clean, comfy bed (we had a king), roomy shower, and I had requested the 2nd floor so we could enjoy sitting on the 2nd story porch overlooking Duval St., which we did every night! The pool was great - nice and warm, but still refreshing after long days of walking the island. I agree that the breakfast was just OK. The fresh fruit and sweet breads were great, but the bagels and breads were just grocery store bought and no hot dishes. The cookies and lemonade in the afternoon were a nice touch, and they have a filtered water bubbler with hot and cold water and coffee and tea available 24 hours! Several of the other B&B's we have stayed at have had a complimentary happy hour in the late afternoons, and this B&B does not offer that. This was the only thing that could be added that would be a nice touch. We will definitely stay here again!!

Room Tip: 2nd floor rooms have access to a great front porch! However, you can use the porch even if you stay...

“Lovely room, nice location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

Our room looked just like the photos. Loved the netting over the bed and the quality furnishings. The breakfast wasn't anything exceptional. Would have enjoyed one hot dish. Cookies in the evening was a nice touch and the women who run the inn were very nice. Be aware that's it's at the other end of Duval Street from Mallory Square but not far from El Siboney restaurant with great Cuban food and the Southernmost Point in the U.S.!
