Booked the Hemingway cottage. Was advertised as having a full size refrigerator- it wasn't. Advertised on site and street parking- 2 spaces on site is what they have. Everything else is street. When we told them there were ants, we were informed that it's the season for them.

Very nice place

Very nice place, it's simple but well maintained and well located. Free parking is a ++ considering how difficult is to park in Key West. Continental breakfast was simple but good

Late check in was a breeze. Grounds were peaceful, beautiful and quiet. A little slice of paradise! We were in the Artist room. Perfect, quaint, clean. My only suggestion would be to add some hooks. Anywhere. To hang towels, etc. Hooks are a girls best friend. We will definitely be back!!

Great little place

Cute little resort that’s not too far from all the action of duval street. Could walk but not in the hot summer. Cheap fast uber ride if needed. Room was spacious and clean. Some of the furniture is outdated and the pool is a bit small. Otherwise great stay!

Service was awesome the lady in the front desk amazing. Well located property within walkable distance to the main attractions . Great breakfast . The only thing I did not like was the sheet and pillowcase were stained with something dark. And the space in the sink by the bathroom was very limited. Other wise great place

Our room was next to pool and very noisy due to unsupervised kids in the pool for hours. Ask for room away from pool. A long walk to Duval Street. Bed was very comfortable. The room was a little old, but clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great Location

The front desk staff was fantastic!! They were so friendly, helpful, and attentive. The property is in a great location for Key West. Our room was clean and the parking was great. I will say for paying more than $300 a night, I do think it is a bit overpriced.
