My family stayed in the upstair portion (Treetop?) at the Poinciana Place residence last May. The location was great, one block off of Duval. We rented bikes so we could just leave our vehicle parked and everything was close enough to either bike or walk to. The house was very cute, with the traditional "conch" architecture and property was kept up well. Hanging out in the porch hammock or in the hot tub (amazing how they got that thing up to the 2nd floor) was a great way to end a day in Key West. This property is a better value than almost any hotel you can mind and also lets you feel temporarily like you're a Key West resident, not just a visitor. I can't wait to go back to Key West and if I do, I'll definitely stay back at Poinciana Place!

I found Poinciana Place on the internet, and my husband and I have stayed there four times...the first time we saw it. we fell in love...we have always stayed in the upstairs unit and we have always been pleased with the level of cleanliness and since it is supposed to be No Smoking, we have never had a problem as far as that is concerned.
I think the ants are a problem everywhere in the Keys. We refer to the cottage as 'our cottage' I am sure we are not the only ones, and the owner, Bruce is a lovely man and very amenable to requests... I would not hestitate to recommend the plave to anyone.

Poinciana Place is a part of lazy lane cottages. We had stayed at another Lazy lane property, the Jasmine House, and loved it. Poinciana Place was where we were supposed to stay for the remaining 3 nights of our trip. It isn't the worst place and may be appropriate for spring breakers or someone who just wants a place to sleep. But it had a bad feel. It was dark and not clean. There were ants everywhere. and it smelled like smoke. The owner was nice enough to let us check out after the first night for just the price of the deposit, but I would not recommend this to anyone who wants to stay somewhere nice.
