Stayed here in 2018. Room was comfortable & clean. Loved the location, right in the middle of excitement & within walking to restaurants & nightlife! read more

Duval Gardens as part of the Southern Most Resort is exceptional. The hostess who is on site for most of the day is friendly and customer service oriented. Room keeping does a great job. The location is right on Duval Street which makes it very convenient. Access to the Southern Most Resort (less than a 1/2 mile away) has the heated pools, spa, fitness center, and business center. The resort's Beach Cafe has a great lunch selection. There is only one negative about this place. I'm 6 foot 2 inches tall. The toilets are very short...I mean very short! All-in-all, this place made our trip very enjoyable. read more

Duval Gardens - Aerial view. - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Key west, Florida

Happy to update if taken care of accordingly. I requested a cancellation in March 2021 -- over 30 days prior to my reservation and WELL WITHIN the cancellation with no penalty time period. In addition, Key West is fully booked this weekend and the hotel can EASILY rebook the room for 3 to 4 times the price I paid when I reserved. While the hotel acknowledges I was within the time period they are refusing to waive the cancellation fee via Expedia. This is utter bullshit. My partner is a travel writer and was planning on featuring this hotel even though we are not staying there. THIS TIME. She now has no choice but to share this shady practice and unethical theft of not following one's own policies. The hotel stated we sent an email to an email that doesn't exist. This makes zero sense as we literally HIT REPLY SENDER to an email SENT FROM THE HOTEL. As a guest I have ZERO IDEA that the email your hotel sends messages from doesn't get read if a guest sends an email back in a normal reply sender fashion. read more

Duval Gardens - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Key west, Florida

Staying at Duval gardens was amazing! Especially when you have people like Kimberly and Keith working there. We were welcomed by Kimberly, who made us feel like family right off the bat. She explained everything that was available to us and made sure that if we needed anything, she would take care of it. Keith was a friendly face in the mornings when we were sitting outside for our breakfast. He checked up on us to make sure our day was going as planned and took time to let us know if we needed anything, he was available. We will definitely be coming back to Duval gardens, not only for the cozy room, but to see our friends Kimberly and Keith. Thank you guys for an awesome experience! read more

Pros: Cute B&B in a good location on Duval Street. Room was nice, the bed was super comfy and we were able to enjoy the pool a few times during our stay. Also had a bike rack directly across the street for our rentals that always had space for our two bikes. Cons: We stayed for 4 full days. On the morning of our third day we requested fresh towels and a light service of the room (sweep, trash and refresh the bed) at 9am. After coming back from our day on the water around 3pm, the room was not serviced and we did not have clean towels to use for showers. The man at the front desk did apologize and bring towels. We were promised a room service the following day. Never came. The same housekeeper also gave an attitude on our first morning because we began to serve ourselves with breakfast (using tongs to grab bread/bagels) because only she is allowed to serve guests -- even though she was nowhere to be found and was quite obviously sitting in a room off to the side and was talking to someone on her ear buds the entire time. Don't give an attitude if you are MIA. Overall, we enjoyed the room and location but the attitude and lack of care by the housekeeper left a bad taste in our mouth. read more

Location was perfect! Centrally located on Duvall but noise was never an issue. Rooms are clean, updated and comfortable. Bathroom was larger than most in the area. Bed was very comfortable. Nice little pool to cool off. Staff was so friendly and helpful! Better breakfast setup than most in the area. Great big porch area over looking Duvall with plenty of seating. I will definitely stay here again! Well worth the price we paid. read more

Duval Gardens - Beautiful room for us! my sweetheart love it;) - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Key west, Florida

Great place to stay and Kimberly was amazing so helpful, super friendly , gave great recommendations for sights to see and where to eat

We stayed at this B&B for the entirety of our time in Key West, and it was so pleasant. The room isn't gigantic, but it is quite comfortable, and "home-y" feeling. The french doors, wicker and netting on the bed lend an easy breezy feel to it. Plus I loved the name of the room... Bougainvillea. read more

A cozy little bed and breakfast away from the madness at the other end of Duval Street. This sleepy little inn is certainly a no-frills spot, but what I do appreciate is the off-set nature of the rooms. Rather than what I'm used to with most bed and breakfasts, the rooms here feel more like mini efficiencies since they're not just rooms in a larger house. A diminutive heated pool and a handful of chaise lounges offer the tropical experience you might long for in the Keys. Location is ideal and the few parking spaces they offer are clutch (if you're lucky enough to score one). Alas, if their designated spots prove popular, they can help direct you to meter and permit-free nearby street spots. For $190/night, I found the price to be a little steep for what was offered, but in season, I suppose the demand exceeds supply in the Keys. This is more a 3.5 experience and sure beats staying in a budget motel along Roosevelt Blvd. read more

Too bad their customer service is lacking. Due to a medical emergency, we had to depart Key West a day early. We didn't want a refund for our stay, just a rain check to return later this year. The response was no due to a 7 day cancellation policy. If only life and death situations could be predicted! I understand that there are rules however a little compassion would have been appreciated under these unplanned circumstances. I guess there are some people that will try to take advantage of a situation to which a business has decided to be inflexible. We were extremely grateful to our tour boat operator who agreed to a rain check for our non refundable tour that we also missed. We would have returned to Duval Gardens and stayed for multiple days rather than our originally scheduled 1 night stay when we return. Now we'll find someplace else. Bummer because we were really looking forward to staying here. read more

Our stay at one of the guesthouses 1012 Duval Street formerly Duval Gardens was one of the best vacations we have had. The rooms were clean, the continental breakfast was on point and the location was perfect. What made this experience the best was the staff. Kimberly and Gary were the best. So friendly and helpful. Kimberly called us by name and chatted with us every day. Making sure we had what we needed, were having fun, etc. she was never too busy for us. Gary the property manager stopped by one morning and was wonderful. He took time to come meet us and was very friendly as well. Highly recommend the guesthouses at the Southernmost Resort. read more

The staff was so nice and welcoming. Lynn showed us where to park our car for free during our entire 3 night stay and it was only 1 block away. Our room (#15) was right off the pool deck. It felt like our own private pool. The room was clean and had a very comfortable queen bed. The A/C was perfect for a comfortable sleeping temperature. The shower was very spacious and the mini fridge was great. It was nice to stay on Duval Street without dealing with the loud bars/crowds since it was a little bit farther out of all the action. My only criticism would be that the walls are a little thin and toiletries aren't the best. Other than that, everything was perfect. read more

Duval Gardens - My view from room #15 - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Key west, Florida

Loved this little bed and breakfast... conveniently located on Duval Street off Truman (make when you get into Key West and go down to Duval make left and hotel is on the right) They do offer a few parking spaces that if you get there early enough are readily available. The "Front Desk" (B&B manager who is there only until 6 PM) will give you a paper to put on your dash. We got the "Orchid Room" !! Super cute how all the rooms are names by various flowers usually found in gardens. I LOVED LOVED LOVED the room! It was the King Efficiency. Amazing! Romantic bed, beautiful bathroom.. Breakfast was GOOD! Had seen some reviews saying breakfast was so so but i actually liked it! Bagels, toast, muffins, fruit, granola, coffee, orange juice and milk. What else do you need!?!? read more

I stayed here with my girlfriend (Emily B.). This place is so quaint and comfortable. I would stay here again in a minute. Roger, the manager, was helpful and considerate. The room was always clean, as was the rest of the B&B. It's on the small side, but you didn't feel it when you were in your room. I would definitely suggest anyone looking to stay on the opposite end of Duval, away from the noise, to stay here. Each room has a small fridge for leftovers, water or drinks. read more

We stayed two nights, during the week, in early June. First night we paid 149 for the king room with a kitchen. Second night I asked if they had a midweek rate (I knew they had several rooms check out and hoped they'd be willing to try and keep us there). Lowered the second night price to 129. We had the king room upstairs in the back, that's sort of disconnected from the main building. We didn't need a kitchen but it was the last room they had when we checked in. Came in handy when we reheated leftovers from Mo's the next day and saved a few bucks on yet another restaurant meal. It had a closet as well as dresser and nightstands, so plenty of storage and it was a pretty big room over all. The bathroom was small but clean and efficient and everything worked as it should. The bed was comfortable and the furnishings were beachy/cottage looking without being over the top cutesy or antique. Breakfast on the porch was limited but fresh. My husband likes meat for breakfast and he would have preferred they have some thing other than, or in addition to, the hard boiled eggs for protein. Brianna was our inkeep and she was nice and gave plenty of suggestions. The location was good for everything. Just a block or two from the crazy locations on Duval so you can stumble home from Irish Kevin's, just steps away from Hemingway's house and the lighthouse, decent walk to the fort for the best beach. We saw all the roosters around but never heard any. There is also a pharmacy and laundromat just down the road which was convenient. They have a handful of parking spots on the side of the hotel but offer parking at their sister property if you can't find anything on a nearby street or feel uncomfortable with the street parking. Overall, a restful night's sleep close enough to places to play. read more

Wonderful bed and breakfast. Our room was so cozy, romantic and clean. The bed is sooo comfy and the best part is the air conditioner...it kept the room at a crisp 60-65 degrees. You can set it to what you like but for us this was perfect since heat index right now is 105. At check in they give you a map that shows areas where there is free parking. We had no trouble parking for free everyday however, this is not peak season. If you want to pay the hotel has a few spots, first come first Serve. Morning breakfast has a good variety. Hotel is 10 min walk from sloppy Joe's and all the other well know bars. If you stay here check out Amigos for Mexican, Glazed for donuts and ice coffee, and the Southermost Smoothie for a great banana/choc/ Expresso/protein smoothie. read more

Great location on the south end of Duval. So plenty distance away from the madness. Very cute room. Tiny pool (don't expect to be doing any laps). Breakfast in the mornings on the patio. Easy walking distance to the cute places we went on the south end of Duval. A bit of a hike if you're looking to be in with all the action on the North end of Duval. If you are staying in a room by the pool, you can hear everything if people are in the pool. If you don't mind a little noise, they are great rooms. If you want more R&R, ask for a room away from the pool. read more

Room is very very small, so it is with the rest room. But the shower space is OK. All the facilities that a hotel should equip were equipped in good order, and soaps/shampoos in the room are very good, not those usual shabby ones. We didn't try their breakfast, but the homemade Mango juice is icy and tasting good. One more flaw is that there're just 6 parking places in the hotel, so very big chance you have to find parking place by yourselves in the nearby Virginia St or Whitehead St. It's no easy task because you cannot park on the spots marked as "residential parking". I took about 20 minutes and luckily found one. read more

Be warned about making a reservation here. We were so excited to stay here, but due to COVID my husband and I both work in healthcare and were told not to travel from our employers or there would be consequences. Unfortunately Duval Gardens decided that we would not get a refund back. I am extremely disappointed because we were very excited to stay here. There is a pandemic and there is no refund? I understand under normal circumstances not issuing a refund but this is a horrible virus. We both work in healthcare and could use that money right now while putting our health at risk for others. It is incredibly disappointing that this is how they would treat guests, and dealing with all of this I guess when we do get to go to Key West again we will not be choosing this place. read more

I just stayed here for four nights with my boyfriend, and we really enjoyed our stay. We stayed in the king sized bedroom number 12, which I believe was the Hibiscus Room. It had a very large and comfortable king sized four poster bed with mosquito netting draped across the top. There were also two nightstands, a dresser with a small TV on it, and an armoire, chair and a small table. We also had a private bathroom (which all rooms have). There was a shelf in the bathroom which was great for storing all of our toiletries. We had originally booked a queen sized room but decided to change to a king sized room, which I am glad we did because we had room to unpack and put our clothes away. We got a great rate, it was only $179/night which includes a continental breakfast on the porch in the morning. We never ate the breakfast because we wanted to go out for breakfast, but it looked like they had a good variety of cereal and bread and granola. The inn also has a small pool surrounded by lounge chairs which get plenty of sun, so it is a nice place to relax in the afternoon. The best part about the inn is that it is located far enough up Duval Street so that you can't hear all of the craziness of the bars, but it is close enough that you can walk to all of the bars and restaurants. There is a rooster that likes to make a lot of noise early in the morning, but with the air conditioner on you could barely hear him, and I also brought earplugs. This is a great place to stay if you like bed and breakfasts. It has a great location and the people who work there are very friendly. read more

Duval Gardens is cozy, clean and divine... in the middle of all the excitement. Will surely be included in my next adventure... Breakfast is served with a touch of elegance... staff helpful and most important friendly and accommodating. read more

This was my first time staying at a B&B, so I wasn't sure what to expect. We stayed here with 4 other members of my family (so three rooms total). Christina helped us check-in, she is a great asset to this establishment. Our room was #22, upstairs, with a queen bed, it was a little on the small side. I wish there had been a closet, but I put everything into the drawers. Nice flat screen TV on the wall. The bathroom was ok, we would have loved a mirror over the sink, as my husband found it a little cumbersome to get his contacts in every morning. It took a while at times to get the hot water to come on, and the drain in the shower was clogged, I'm sure it would have been fixed, though, if we had reported it. A sign in the bathroom says if you would like your towels replaced, leave them on the floor, otherwise hang them up - every morning we left our towels hanging up, but when housekeeping came, they took them and gave us fresh towels, so I was confused about the policy on the sign, it didn't seem like they followed it. With those small critiques out of the way: this B&B is very nicely located, we walked everywhere, which was great. The A/C in the room worked well, we also used the 'fan' function on there as white noise, as people passing by on the street can get noisy, especially late at night. We rented a car for one day to drive to the other keys, we were unable to park it that night because all the spaces (there are 5 or 6 spaces, total, so take note) were taken, however, we were able to park the car at the sister hotel a few blocks away, this is a nice option, they certainly do not have to offer that. We did not partake in the breakfast, since we are late sleepers, but I did like it that breakfast was offered until 10:30, most hotels stop serving at 9-ish. Housekeeping came every day, and our room was always very clean. Overall, we had a great time. read more

We had arrived to Key West early and since it was to celebrate our honeymoon the front allowed us to check-in as soon as the room was ready. They were also EXTREMELY kind since it was our honeymoon and left champagne in the room for us! Over all the service was above par as well as they had left the food out for all the runners to partake in after the Key West Half Marathon. I would hands down recommend this place to anyone that wants a nice quiet stay. It's located right off of Duval & Truman. It's nice and quiet since the party people are further down Duval. To walk to the end towards Mallory Square is only a 15min walk. I HIGHLY recommend this location! The staff was AMAZING! read more

It's a place to sleep. A perfectly air conditioned place to sleep anyway. If you're looking for a comfy bed, maybe not your place. but it has everything you need otherwise. It's a great location on duval, you're close enough to the action and you're within walking distance to a beach. The breakfast in the morning is adequate and the staff is very friendly. It's fairly clean, but still, pull the comforter off and go with the sheet and blanket. The king size bed room was very cute with the mosquito netting... but again, i love the intense AC. it's so hot down there you NEED a good AC. read more

Great location, helpful staff. Rooms small, but the price was good. Lots of porch/balcony space with chairs made up partly for room size. Breakfast was good for a cold (non-cooked) breakfast. Biggest problem was wifi, which was hit or miss, mostly miss, and it wasn't a signal strength issue because we were right on top of it. Perhaps inadequate capacity, which I've found at many other places. read more

More like 3.5 stars. The pluses? Great staff, nice rooms, perfect location. The negatives? The room where we stayed (Room 14) is literally NEXT TO the ice machine and the laundry room, so you will hear that every day starting at about 7am. The breakfast also leaves a lot to be desired. It gets the job done, but let's just say that my husband had the pre-packaged Quaker oatmeal every day as the fruit and sliced meats looked extremely iffy every single day we were there (I saw this mentioned on another review site and can definitely confirm that for myself now). Wifi is also suuuuuper spotty. Overall? It was nice enough, but definitely feel like it was overpriced and that I could have gotten a comparable stay for at least $50 cheaper a night somewhere else in Key West. read more

First time I've ever been to Key West and also the first time I've ever stayed in a B&B. I couldn't have been happier at Duval Gardens! The location was perfect, on Duval Street but far enough away from the noisy bars. The rooms are great especially with the canopy beds. Stay was in January 2015. Would love to return in the future. read more

Absolutely loved this b&b. We will return. The staff was fantastic, the location rocks, and it surpassed our every expectation.

I've been staying here for years. Classic Key West, great location and nice rooms.

We stayed at Duval Gardens for 2 nights this past weekend. It is located on Duval right off Truman, which is a great central location. We were in the Frangipani room, a queen room right off the small pool. Super cute clean room with a queen bed w/ mosquito netting, 2 nightstands, a tiny dresser with a TV, and a large spacious bathroom with a mini refrigerator. The room as well as the entire grounds were very clean and well maintained. My only complaint was that the room was tiny, but we didn't go to Key West to hang out in our hotel room. It was more than adequate for sleeping, showering, etc. Continental breakfast was served on the porch and it was above-average. Their offerings included cereal, bagels, toast, sweet breads, plenty of fresh fruit (whole kiwi, apples, pears, oranges, bananas, sliced fresh pineapple and cantaloupe), hard boiled eggs, coffee, tea, and juice. Staff was very nice. Christina was on duty when we arrived and she provided us with a helpful map of where to park. They have limited parking on site so if its full, you have to park on a side street. We easily found parking a couple of blocks away and didn't have to move the car all weekend. Our rate was very reasonable. We paid about $140 which I thought was a bargain compared to other B&Bs we have stayed at. I would definitely recommend Duval Gardens to a friend. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

good for the price. clean and decent location. breakfast is more continental than filling.

Very good B and B with clean newly decorated rooms and great beds. Excellent location at nicer end of Duvall, and good prices and breakfast.

If you can't smell this place would be fine, but the mold and mildew smell was too much for me! It was over powering we had to go out and buy some sachets at a local store and also spray the room, when I got home I had to wash all my clean clothes in my suitcase b/c they still smelled mildew from the room! The room looked picture perfect but they have some serious underlying problems there. read more

This was a lovely place in Key West. The rooms were quaint. The location was in a prime position. Clean as a whistle with a friendly host. The price of the room was good for such a great location if you did not get the room with the bells and whistles. read more
