“The Keys”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 1, 2012

The Southernmost House was a great place to stay. We usually stay in larger hotels but this time our friends picked the spot.... and we are glad they did. We really enjoyed the stay and the history surrounding this spot. The staff took great care of us and were always available for questions, directions, suggestions or to get us a drink, towel, chair or whatever....
I woke up early every morning and walked out by the pool to watch the sunrise. Plenty of seating by the pool and down by the ocean as well. A couple of hammocks between the beach, pool and the bar became my favorite spot.
Breakfast was included and they left it out until 10:30 every morning so we were able to go out for a run and eat a bit later every day.
Right off Duval street so easy access to all the "spots"... La Te Da bar a couple blocks away was fun and great people watching. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. We stayed in room 104 which is a separate small house all of its own.. it had extra room in the den with a full refrigerator so our room became the gathering place for drinks before we'd head out each night.
One last note... if you go to Key West.. you have to eat at The Flaming Bouy.... Fantastic Food!

“History, Charming and Beautiful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 1, 2012

I found this hotel on an internet search. The web site was well constructed and included some great pictures of the hotel and surroundings. I was looking for something different for my honeymoon. It turned out to be the best and most romantic experience of my life.

The staff was very helpful and gave us some great tips on activities and restaurants. Housekeeping staff did a great job as well. I could not be happier with the service.

My new wife and I fell in love with Key West. It was a great choice for a romantic get-away location. The life style and people were very interesting. Everyone made us feel welcome and at home. A note to add is that the month of September is a great time to book Key West. The crowds are not there in the numbers of other times of the year. There is a chance of a passing shower but they are just that. The temperatures are very moderate.

I give this location and the Southernmost House my highest recommendations. We will book Southernmost House again next year for our first anniversary.

Room Tip: The beach view rooms are worth a little extra cost. The view is spectacular!

“Not friendly”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 29, 2012

On our way to the southernmost point, we stopped at this B&B to take some quick pics. Seeing as how it is on every tourist map I thought we should see it. As I was taking pictures the inn keeper came out and basically told us to leave unless we were staying there. Obviously it was rude and it rubbed me wrong. I'm sure tourist stop by all the time to see it, and seeing as how they make their living off tourist , you think she would have been nicer!
My advice to any tourist who may stop by.....don't! You just might get yelled at.

Dear Christina S., We pride ourselves on being friendly and the Southernmost House has visitors every day take pictures on our front porch and they respect the privacy and security of our guests who stay at the Southernmost House. In your excitement to take pictures you and your family ran up the stairs leading to a private porch area of a guest room. We advised you that it was a private area and that we were a Bed and Breakfast and that our guests had complained of visitors coming up to their private porch areas and were startled when strangers appear on the stairs. It is a delicate balancing act to be welcoming to visitors and to keep the privacy and security of our guests at the same time. We apologize that you felt we did not want visitors taking picture... Actually we often assist in taking pictures for our visitors so everyone can be in the picture on the porch of the Southernmost House. Kadi Kay - Innkeeper Southernmost House

“Beautiful Hotel with Fantastic Staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 27, 2012

This was our first trip to Key West and my wife and I could not have picked a more perfect location to stay. The hotel and grounds were beautiful. The staff amazing and accomodating with suggestions for dinner and side trips. It was a wonderful 5 day getaway. We will definitely recommend this hotel and will be staying here on our next trip to Key West.

“Relax and Enjoy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 26, 2012

A truly relaxing and wonderful place where staff is great, accomodations superior but the view and ambience are unbeatable. Close to attractions, restaurants but at the quiet end of Duval St., which is the main entertainment venue in Key West. The staff really enjoyed giving you special service and made my wife and I feel "special" but they made everyone feel that way. A great place to unwind or spend some special time.

Room Tip: choose the one with the private balcony or a pool side bungalow
