I can't begin to think of enough superlatives to describe our experience. KW B&B is situated on a quiet residential street in old town surrounded by charming period properties. From the moment we arrived we felt as if we were "home" both in terms of the welcome we received from the staff and the wonderful, cozy ambiance. The historic home is magnificently maintained both inside and out, the grounds are impeccably landscaped and the accommodations excellently equipped and very tastefully decorated. Inside - wonderful art and unusual antiques combine to create a unique decor. Outside - a very special tranquil atmosphere and tropical landscaping. There is a great pool and patio area where we spent many lazy days in the sun. A complimentary breakfast of delicious homemade baked goods, gourmet coffee, and fabulously presented fresh fruit is served daily. The staff are simply the best. Everybody is so friendly and cheerful and they can't do enough to make your stay a special and memorable experience. I won't name specific staff as that would be unfair to those I didn't name as every member of staff deserves the highest praise. Finally, a big and heartfelt "thank you" to all the staff for making our stay so special. We will definitely be back! read more

WoW! What a great place to lay your head!! Super clean, very cozy, the most friendly inn keepers your gonna find. My wife and i only stayed one night, Unfortunately we had other arrangements for the rest of our trip but We will be back. The breakfast was homemade, fresh, tasty and plentiful. Big shout out to Brandon, Jodi and the cool South African chick(sorry I didn't get her name)for being super nice helpful and available. Oh and i don't want to forget the nice woman we met the day before at the best jewelry store in town. If your looking for all the charm old town in the keys has to offer this is it. I didn't take pictures but Yelp already has a bunch check it out for yourself. Trust me. read more

We just returned from Key West B&B last week, and boy did we love it. My pros: 1. The hot tub! We had it to ourselves every night, and it was so secluded and peaceful and a fantastic way to wind down our day. I can't believe more people don't mention the hot tub bc it ended up being one of our favorite things about the house. 2. Our room (the king room on the first floor)-really spacious and excellent with its proximity to the kitchen (and our beloved hot tub). Plenty of space to spread out and one of the comfier beds I've had on vacation. 3. Location. You can't beat the location or the price FOR the location. We walked everywhere, and it was tucked away in a lovely little neighborhood side street. It felt like we could experience a true Key West getaway. 4. It was fantastically quiet. No slamming doors. No elevator racket. No screaming kids. Just the most peaceful and serene setting. My (teensy tiny) cons: 1. We had trouble getting hot showers on 2 out of the 3 days we visited. It was January, and chilly, so it's understandable. We mentioned it to them and they were quick to say it's something they're aware of and that it's hard in the winter to always have hot water. Not a big deal, but something I noted. 2. Parking. I only mention this as a negative bc we felt we'd been led to believe it would be a breeze. Personally, we struggled to find a spot that wasn't a dedicated resident spot, and there wasn't really a place to unload our belongings. My husband ran over his glasses in our fevered attempt to unload and move, which isn't their fault, but it bummed us out and was an unpleasant start to our trip. Just be prepared to spend a little time looking for a place nearby to leave your car. 3. We loved the breakfast that was included every day! I only wish there had been the tiniest bit more variety, as it was very fruit heavy and as non fruit eaters we got a little fatigued of bagels. The coffee was excellent. They have a fridge that you're welcome to store your own food/drinks in should you want to, which we made use of. All in all, I just loved it, and we will absolutely be back if they'll have us! read more

We found the Key West Bed & Breakfast (KWBB) on Trip Advisor and we're glad we did! We spent 3 nights in early October and wished we could have stayed longer. Upon arrival we were greeted by Trish. She was very friendly and super helpful. After we got settled, Trish gave us a tour of the property and sat down w/ us for about 45 minutes asking what we wanted to do and what kind of food did we like. She gave us good tips like to avoid Duval Street for dining but enjoy it for people watching, as most Duval St. establishment are more known for drinking, but are required by some local regulation to serve food as well. She also suggested local stores to pick up beer or wine, tour companies for activities and off the beaten path places to get something to eat like BO's fish wagon that was a quirky little place w/ delicious seafood at reasonable prices We stayed in the "Pink" room located on the second floor. The room did not have a private bath & we shared 2 bathrooms with 3 other rooms. This was not a problem as only once were the bathrooms occupied and even at that we only had to wait a few minutes. Some useful info to those looking for a great place to stay: - great attentive staff. They made me feel like home, which is the best compliment I can give. - the house is over 100 years old and has a lot of character and charm. Has nice hardwood floors, is clean, and quaintly decorated with art and the owner's weaving loom. - The bedrooms have A/C, but the common areas in the house do not so it can get pretty stuffy and hot. There are ceiling fans which help a little - Great breakfast w/ fresh squeeze your own OJ, tea, coffee, at least one homemade baked goodie such as fruit crumble, banana or blueberry bread, fresh bagels delivered from a local bakery daily, an assortment of fresh fruit including pineapple, papaya, kiwi, watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, plums & apples. - no TV's, but they do have wifi and plenty of reading material - porches w/ hammocks that you can chill out on - only street parking available. The street parking spaces are blocked off in painted rectangles. Make sure you park in spaces with nothing painted on the edge of the space such as "for residents only". We found parking pretty easily, but it is hard to find during peak evening hours, which is why we walked/biked everywhere. - bike rentals for $12 per day or $50 a week. Highly recommend you rent a bike for at least a day and the week if you stay that long. - about 3 blocks away from Duval street towards the Mallory Square end. Nice and quiet, well located even though you do have to trek a little bit to get to places. We really enjoyed are stay here and would highly recommend it! read more

This place was awesome! This is an old house but pleasant, totally worth the rate and the hosts were more than friendly, they really made you feel at home, I would stay here again. Thank you Liz and Jody!! read more

I enjoyed a beautiful stay in Mo's room with my boyfriend and I honestly can't think of one thing I'd change about the experience! The room was comfortable, the service was great, the jacuzzi was awesome, and the breakfasts were amazing. I only wish we could have spent more time with Goo the dog! Duval street was just a brisk walk away, so we had something to do every night. I can't recommend the Key West Bed and Breakfast more! read more

Finally getting this written from a trip a couple months ago. Loved this place, 4 of us "girls" on a getaway had the King and Bates rooms on the first floor, it felt like we practically had our own living room and kitchen, it was right around the corner. We had to adjust our reservations twice, due to our needs and they were fabulous about it. Liz checked us in and was very helpful, maps and directions, recommendation on restaurants, they even keep a bottle of aloe lotion in the frig for sunburn. The breakfast - every day there was a different freshly baked item, with a big selection of fruits, bagels, spreads and of course coffee. Worked great carrying it out to the tables by the dip pool. Coffee and breakfast starts at 8:30 and they need the kitchen clear of people for an hour before. I need my early morning coffee so I just had my instant packets and nabbed boiling hot water from the bottled water dispenser before they started, worked fine till I could get the real thing. The rooms - We went in April, so it was warm with more heat in the afternoon. The rooms had AC but not the common rooms - historic, and they make it clear so it's not a surprise but I wondered how comfortable it would be in summer. Beds and sheets very soft and rooms are spacious. The bathrooms clearly on add-ons, well done but be ready for small ones in these rooms anyway. We had our own bathrooms but I peeked in the 2nd floor shared baths and they were clean and well supplied, I would have been fine with those too. All in all, a wonderful stay in an original Conch house, for a very reasonable price. read more

I stayed at the Key West Bed and Breakfast for five nights and I enjoyed every minute. It was clean, quiet and comfortable. I was a solo traveler and stayed in the "nun's" room which was perfect with it's comfy twin bed. The breakfast was always a great way to start the day, and I appreciated that it went until 10:30am. The staff was always available to give me advice on excursions and Jodi in particular had some wonderful advice. I was also happy to have such a great wifi connection (something I really didn't expect). Jasmine kept my room and the bathroom spotless and the individual ac unit in the room ensured that the room was always a cool retreat after a hot day in town. read more

Stayed here three times so far. Absolutely amazing staff, house is super clean and well appointed, breakfast is superb (when I've been able to pull myself out of bed early enough). Close to everything but on a nice not-so-busy side street. I couldn't ask for a more pleasant and relaxing bed and breakfast. Highly recommended!! read more

This place is very much in tradition of key west, house is beautiful and staff very helpful and friendly.(Liz will chat your ears off if you let her,lol) We may have paid more due to being there for Christmas, we had one room down and one up, both rooms were nice. I don't like to be too critical but we need to be honest here. it is very obvious people come back which is a good thing and maybe not. We paid high rates for a quiet place where we could really relax after a long day at the beach or biking around town before dinner. We could not have naps, even with the air conditioner running the noise in the halls from people chatting right outside our room made it impossible, I asked another guest who was upstairs and they also said it was quite noisy at times. If you don't mind people chatting right outside your room and can still find quiet time with your spouse/partner then its the place for you. One thing in am breakfast consist of fruit and carbs or sugary cakes, no protein, so if your ok with eating fresh bagels & cake go for it. Hate to be Debbie Downer here. Good things, bikes are handy, your location is close to everything, go to smathers beach no one really encouraged us to go, but it was a very nice beach(taco stands there also) the beach is sandy and easy to walk on. State beach is very rocky and hard to go for a swim, rocks are extremely sharp. Go to half shell, good food, affordable compared to other places, also blue heaven is fantastic, you'll wait but the food and staff are amazing. Some people say this place is cheaper then most, this is not entirely correct information. Finally, have a good time, key west is a party town and can be chaotic, enjoy:) read more

Can't say much except that everything was pretty much perfect! Check-in, check-out, staff, breakfast, the room, the furniture/bed, the shower -- everything met or exceeded our expectations. Can't beat the location. This is a well-maintained, clean and friendly place to stay. We had the back room on the top floor which has french doors opening onto a small private balcony. An extra couch/bed in the room could easily accommodate 1 big or 2 small children. I also loved the many outdoor places to sit: balconies, porches, the patio. Wish I had been able to try them all! read more

What????!!!! Well they only have the finest looking staff around!! And the cutest dog in the world, and the place is sheik, and clean and , ah, the bikes are great too! read more

My wife and I spent a week at the Key West B&B in late January. Its in a great location, an easy walk to the heart of Key West. They had rental bikes on site for longer excursions. Jody and Liz were great to deal with, welcoming us and adding the personal touch that you just don't get at a hotel. The room, communal area, and breakfast were super. And they had a private Jacuzzi in the back yard that we used most every night. Highly recommended. read more

Good times in Key West. My mom and I stayed at the Bella room. Very cute and comfortable. The bathroom sharing was not an issue. The walls are pretty thin and i could hear the neighbour's conversations so if you want more of privacy, I'd recommend the rooms all the way upstairs. The breakfast is nice. The location is very good in my opinion, a block away from the dock. Definitely my go to place when here. read more

I stayed at Key West B&B for a week during a business trip -- it was fantastic in every way, and so much better than a cookie cutter chain hotel. The house is beautiful, the gardens are lovely, the people are super friendly and helpful, the breakfast was scrumptious and the rooms were clean and comfortable. I stayed on the top floor and it was like being in a tree house -- very quiet and with a view over the rooftops. Plus, it's an easy walk to Duvall St. And every restaurant they recommended was really good (Eaton St. Fish Market, Old Town Bakery, Garbo's Grill, Santiago's Bodega, in case you are wondering). read more

I loved this place! First off, I have to say the last reviewer's comments about the art cracked me up. It's called FOLK ART. In fact I chatted with one of the girls working there about the fact that one of the pieces was done on cardboard, and how cool that is and I wondered it it had been done by a Haitian artist. Anyway, I found it refreshing that this B & B wasn't decorated with "safe" art and seascape scenes and ruffles on everything. This is the most beautiful and artistic B & B I've ever been in... well, now that I've corrected that, I'll move on to the other stuff! As several have said, the fact that the breakfast is served late-ish could be inconvenient for some. I would have liked the coffee a lot earlier, but I found a fabulous little Cuban coffee stand about 2 minutes walk from the B & B--the coffee was cheap and to die for. I normally don't eat first thing in the morning so the later breakfast didn't bother me. I actually don't like it when B & B's finish breakfast at 9 AM or some such. But I could see some people wanting to leave early for whatever they had planned. I was on my own so sitting with other guests and chatting was very pleasant. I was in no rush. The breakfast is very good. There was always some baked goody--I'm not much for that but it looked and smelled delicious I made a beeline for the fruit. After a long hard miserable winter (not over yet) I was delighted to eat papaya and melon and pineapple every morning. I liked the whole wheat bread too. The location really can't be beat. If you don't know Key West and you start walking around, you will soon discover which streets are busy and which are relatively quiet. William Street is very quiet for Key West. It's not that quiet though if you go to bed early-ish. The houses are close together and you can hear people chatting on the balcony of the next house over. It never went on too late though. I didn't like the fact that there were so many lights on but I am sure that's necessary for safety reasons. I live in the country so I am used to no human-related sounds at all at night. You are easily a 10-15 minute walk from anyplace you'd want to go in Old Town. I didn't have a car so I liked that. The house has many little nooks and hidden corners and lovely spots in the garden where you can read or relax and be surrounded by tropical plants and the soothing sound of crickets. Even though the B & B was full, there was a lot of privacy in those places. The people are very nice and helpful. The owner is a weaver and I wished she'd been there so we could have talked ART, tee hee :) Anyway, I highly recommend this B & B--beautiful and laid back, totally Key West! read more

I told the ladies it would pain me to write this review, only because I love this place so much, I don't want anyone else to know about it!! I have fallen in love with Key West because of this gem, and I would never stay anywhere but Key West B & B. Liz, Lucy, and Sheri are wonderful, accommodating but relaxed while still being professional. This week was my second stay there and I will of course be back because the place feels like home. The breakfast rocks, the house if always sparkling clean, the decor is marvelous and spunky, and you will always find a friend amongst one of the guests. I'm in love with this place. read more

Highly recommend KW B&B. Terrific place, homey, safe and precisely as advertised. Price is right and was able to secure a nice parking spot, too. It served as the perfect base when I drove down this past weekend for a quick disconnect and to see one of my fave guitarists who happened to be in town. Lucy and Liz were very cool sweet hosts. Location was awesome, well within walking distance of everything from Pepe's and Mallory Sq to The Green Parrot and more. KW B&B rocks, I'll def be back. Thanks!!! read more

I can't believe this is our fifth year here and nothing has changed with this B&B. Unless maybe we are welcomed "home" more each year. I still enjoy my early rise and walk to get my cafe con leche, returning to the house to find a beautiful breakfast. It's still peaceful sitting on the porch. The rooms are still spotless. Please don't change anything Key West B&B. You're our little winter oasis in Key West. read more

Just finishing up a two-night stay, and wow... what a great little b&b! Incredibly friendly staff, a fantastic and quiet location (no TVs, thank god), excellent breakfast, a cozy jacuzzi, and beautiful decor. There's also strong wifi and an adorable Pomeranian named Goo. This place set the perfect tone for our first visit to the island, and it'll definitely be tops on our list if/when we make it back. read more

We stayed here for a week in February 2011. It was our second or third visit here. This is a grand and real place owned by an artist , and run by a community of friends with personality, good advice and professionalism. We feel like old friends ourselves there. All the rooms are so lovely, although there can be cigarette smoke creeping in from outside on the ground floor rooms. The location is perfect. The artwork engrossing.. read more

Me and my wife stayed here in the King room on the 1st floor next to the office. We paid 135$ per night, the bed was nice, room was clean, breakfast was disappointing. I missed having bright sunshine into my room, oatmeal/eggs for breakfast, trash can and bar soap in the room. It was at best an average experience. Love having moved to island city hotel next door - bed and breakfast feel with all the hotel amenities including a hammock in the balcony!!! read more

I can not say enough good things about this place. We have staying here for the past 12 years and are part of the family. Even though our last visit was sad as we miss Trish, the rest of the staff is great and Jody (owner) spent a great deal of time telling us about the changes in Key West and her passion of trying to keep it the place we love. Sometimes, when we procrastinate and have to stay somewhere else, I realize how special our home away from home is. Know up front: No TV.....great for us......who needs it when you are in Paradise. We spend time on our balcony (we always stay in the yellow room) and the little hot tub is great for some afternoon relaxing before heading out for a night of fun on Duval! read more

WARNING-THE POPULAR HOUSE, KEY WEST! My husband and I had not been on a vacation in over 7 years. Our generous daughter booked us a 7-night stay at "The Popular House" in the Keys to begin tonight 8-27 until 9-3. Our flight was cancelled very last minute while in line at the airport due to HURRICANE IRENE. The airlines are in such a mess they couldn't get us out to our location until the next week. It's complicated, but it would have cost $938. additional expense to get us out there by Tue in the middle of the night. So the next comparable flight would have put us there on 9-3. STAY WITH ME YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS! I called The Popular House immediately and told them our plight and they told us they have a different room open and available from 9-5 - 9-10, a lesser price room. We figured well we'll work with this, we'll find a room somewhere else for 2 days and move our stuff to The Popular House on the 5th. They called us back and told us that THEY WILL NOT ALLOW US TO STAY IN THE AVAILABLE ROOM WITHOUT PAYING FULL FEES AGAIN! Basically, they claim that storm or no storm, no matter what tragedy may occur to you, you are responsible to pay for the time of that room. ESSENTIALLY, THEY CAN NOW RE-RENT THAT ROOM AND GET DOUBLE PAYMENT FOR IT, and, THEY WILL LET THE OTHER ROOM SIT THERE EMPTY BUT WILL NOT ALLOW US TO USE IT! YES, EVEN THOUGH WE PAID FOR THIS MORE EXPENSIVE ROOM, FOR 2 EXTRA DAYS, THEY WOULD NOT LET US OCCUPY THE ROOM! NO REFUNDS. REFUSED TO WORK WITH US AND ARE KEEPING ALL OF OUR DAUGHTER'S MONEY. WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! THIS SO CALLED POPULAR HOUSE CARES ABOUT ONE THING AND IT'S NOT YOUR VISIT, IT'S YOUR MONEY! DO YOU REALLY WANT TO GIVE YOUR HARD EARNED BUCKS TO PEOPLE WHO HOLD TO A POLICY LIKE THIS AND CALL IT FAIR? DO THE RIGHT THING, THINK ABOUT THIS AND SPEND YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE WERE THE PEOPLE ARE CARING AND HAVE SOME AMOUNT OF SYMPATHY FOR THINGS LIKE A HURRICANE WHICH YOU DIDN'T CREATE OR A DEATH OR ANYTHING THAT COULD HAPPEN IN LIFE. NOPE, YOU BOOKED IT, YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE. NO EXCEPTIONS AND NO CHANGES EITHER! If this sounds disgusting to you, let your friends and family know. We are now looking into organizations that recommend B&Bs and we are going to find every outlet to let people know the unyielding business practices of this particular place. read more
