“Key West gem!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2013

We spent a week in Key West with hosts Steve and Kayla on the quite side of town at Atlantis House. The beautiful, well-tended garden is a great place to relax between activities. Steve offered lots of advice on restaurants and nightlife. And Kayla's key lime pie beat all the restaurant pies we tried. We used the complimentary bikes to go everywhere. Go with this small inn - much more personal than the downtown hotels and motels.

“One of the most relaxing places I've stayed at”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2013

There are only two rooms here, we had the Master Suite with bar area and jacuzzi. The room was beautiful, we slept so well - it was so quiet! The backyard patio area is gorgeous and very relaxing. Steve and Kayla are amazing hosts - if Kayla has made her key lime pie during your stay you are in for a real treat. Seriously, it was the best I had in Key West. I really can't say enough good things, we really loved it here.

Some things to consider, the location is a bit from Duval Street but not too far that getting there is an issue. We loved being off the main drag because it was so quiet. We rode the free bikes Steve and Kayla offered everywhere and could easily get to Duval Street and all the restaurants. If you are not in riding bikes everywhere and are not keen on having to drive while on vacation in Key West, the location may pose some issues for you. We really had no trouble with it at all, the bikes take you everywhere you need to go in about 5-15 minutes.

Higgins Beach is very close, easily walkable (it's beyond Rest Beach, which isn't conducive to sitting out). Higgins beach is a public beach so keep that in mind, it's not a secluded private area. But it is a beautiful beach and we enjoyed it.

Also keep in mind if this is your first trip to Key West that there is a homeless population, and you will see some homeless folks occasionally on your biking treks. But we never once felt the slightest bit unsafe or uncomfortable, I just mention it so folks aren't surprised. Everyone was always friendly and kind - it must be the Key West lifestyle.

Louie's Backyard is very close - great bar right on the water.

I highly recommend this place for couples who want a quiet, relaxing and personal Key West experience. But if being off the beaten path isn't your style, this may not be your ideal place.

“Fabulous!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

Fabulous B&B. Kayla & Steve are wonderful friendly hosts. Accommodates were perfect - suite and outside garden/deck (several separate areas to relax). We stayed in the Garden Suite and was quite pleased. The Turkest cotton bath towels were a plus! The garden is goreous, quiet and very relaxing. Beaches and scenic areas/downtown were walking distance. Definitely recommend a stay here! Couple in next suite were there for the 13th time - that easily says it's great place. Thanks Kayla & Steve!

“3rd time and it's still a charm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

This was our third time staying with the Captain and Kayla and it only gets better every time. You will be hard pressed to find more accommodating hosts and a more lovely setting – everything is perfect from the room to the amenities, to the gardens, to the complimentary bikes – perfecto!

One evening Steve served up a hogfish sandwich – perhaps the most delicate fish I have ever eaten and Kayla’s key lime pie is truly the best I’ve had on or off the island and I like to think I make a pretty good key lime pie, but nothing touches Kayla’s.

By now we feel like we’re visiting old friends. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else while in Key West. If you choose to stay at Atlantis House you’ll have the time of your life – it is really living the life in paradise!

“Perfect Honeymoon!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

My husband and I stayed at Atlantis House for our honeymoon July 1-7, 2012. It was our first visit to Key West and we were greeted by Steve and Kayla at the airport! It was evident from the beginning that they truly wanted to make our visit as fantastic as possible. They were like our own personal guides on the island by sharing their opinions on the best restaurants, activities, and amenities. We also had the privilege of meeting their dog, Nemo, and their son, Max who were both very friendly and welcoming!!
We stayed in the Garden Suite which was perfect. We had everything we needed and more. We did extensive research prior to choosing where we wanted to stay and compared ratings and prices. Atlantis House had better rates than a lot of other bed and breakfasts which weren't nearly as nice, but were closer to Duval St.. The main difference is Atlantis House is more secluded and farther from Duval Street which we found to be ideal for a honeymoon spot. It was the perfect location because it was quiet and serene but still only a 5-10 minute bike ride to all of the restaurants, bars, and attractions.
We enjoyed a beautiful and delicious breakfast on the patio our second morning there and enjoyed transporting ourselves around the island on the bikes that they provided for free! While on Duval St., we were chatting with another couple who frequently visited Key West about our stay at Atlantis House, and they were amazed that we found a place so accommodating and who fixed us Key Lime Pie (which as many have already said is hands-down the best is Key West)!!
On our last day, we went on the Eco-Tour which was incredible. It was so beautiful, and Steve and Kayla made excellent tour guides because of their extensive knowledge about Key West and the surrounding areas. We frequently reminisce about our trip and will definitely return to Atlantis House on our next visit to Key West!
