Hi Valerie! I'm so excited for you. This was my first trip to Key West and I loved every minute. There are so many things to do. Most are walking distance which shouldn't be a problem if you are used to NYC walking. Remember... More

Nice big mansion, but the tour was a bit boring.

The tour guide was informative, but there are assumptions that are made that Audobon spent time here, worked and painted in the house, yet it’s not proven that he lived here at anytime.

Date of experience: December 2018

The wealthy Geigers

The house was more about the wealthy Geiger family who lived there, and then John James Audubon was invited to stay there to paint the 27 most important birds in Key West. I liked the paintings.

Date of experience: January 2019

Thank Paul D

Another surprise from my wife

I’m not the naturalist; that would be my lovely wife. She loves Audubon, and the story. Now, I do too. We even purchased an original page from a book(whooping crane). Be prepared for sticker-shock 😱, but hey, you get what you pay for, and this...More

Some history and art and architecture

Audubon was attracted to Key West because of the bird life and natural beauty of the area. He frequented his friend’s house and enjoyed the amenities of this lovely home. Although Audubon never lived here, the home has become a shrine to Ausobon’s time and...More

Interesting

This place is primarily a museum displaying the life of Captain Geiger, an early and wealthy Key West resident. Other than the fact that Audubon once spent 6 weeks in a nearby house drawing some birds, it has nothing to do with Audubon. The staff...More

Bit disappointed

I love historical houses and history in general, we will visit them anywhere whenever we can. From everything that I had read about Audubon House, I think I was expecting more than there actually was. John James Audubon did not live here so I am...More

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We aren't sure what reading you were doing on the property that lead you to believe he lived here but we understand that the branding of it can be confusing. The property was saved from...More

Pretty

We skipped the tour inside the home and just did the gardens. Nice place to visit, but quite small. Different flowers and trees.

Thank Suzanne M

We are glad you enjoyed our gardens! Stop by again and we'd love you to see the house as well!

historical house, knowledgable guide, and many nature pictures

First of all, John James Audubon did not visit this house, but visited the previous house built on this property. This is the house of Capt. John H. Geiger, one of the richest ship wreckers in Key West in the 19th century. The house was...More

Thank Eran G
