“Christmas in Key West”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

What a find! This very professionally run B&B was totally and charmingly decked out for the holidays and really made Christmas for my husband and me. The room was CLEAN, very comfortable, the bed net romantic and the bathroom good. The goodies in the morning on the porch were great, as were the cookies, etc. in the afternoon. The small but lovely pool is great - what a way to spend some of Christmas afternoon floating and looking at palm trees! I also enjoyed hanging out on the upper porch watching the street scene below while using the comp wifi. And the innkeepers were very, very knowledgable and nice people who steered us to best beaches, restaurants, etc. Overall a lovely stay and a good value.

“We shall return...hopefully not the same day again though!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

Absolutely loved this little B&B - it was more than I wanted to spend but turned out to be a good investment as it was so close to the main sites but quiet enough to ensure we slept well. For me it was all about the little things - a dark coloured face flannel for me to take off my make up with (I always hate using those florescent white ones knowing it is going to have two panda eye marks on it), home-made drinks and snacks in the lounge, postcards of the house for free, a wine service for around the pool or on the veranda (really nice quality wine too - and some US establishments really serve some decidedly iffy wines) and the best Christmas light display in Key West - I will be appearing on a number of holiday snaps quaffing wine on the veranda whilst they pass in their cars, on bikes and on tour buses even! We wanted a break from the parks of Orlando and this was the ideal retreat if only for a couple of days - hell of a drive though - hadn't realised how awfully US roads are lit - well basically they aren't and we spent many miles on the pitch black Florida Turnpike - sounds major but believe me it is little more than a dual carriageway for many miles. As we left Avalon we said we would be back - we meant in 2013 when we will be returning with our daughter and her partner.....however, 60 miles down US1 I received a call from the hotel that our passports had been found in a drawer ("I thought you had them", "no you always look after them" etc!) - we turned around immediately - so that day we went over seven mile bridge 3 times - it's very impressive but I think I can wait until 2013 to see it again! Thank goodness someone did a full clean and sweep of the room as it is possible we could have only noticed we didn't have them on Christmas Day when we were due to leave Orlando. Cannot be recommended enough.

Room Tip: Take whatever you can get - they all look gorgeous, just don't expect a view you won't be in...

“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.
