Loved the relaxed atmosphere of the Conch! Loved the Delaney suite and back porch with its privacy. The resort is very clean with all the amenities you need. We loved the breakfast. Thank you Hiliary, Carol and Lynn for your hospitality! Would stay here again.

When planning a summer vacation, hundreds of thoughts whiz in and out of your brain stringing together a discordant symphony of questions. Have I shed that last five pounds from winter hibernation? Will my tan lines make me look like the awkward bridesmaid with uneven shading? And did I pack enough Chapstick, Coppertone, Aloe, Band-Aids and Advil to keep a CVS in business? Luckily, the difficult question of where to stay is easy. The Conch House Heritage Inn is the essence of Key West. It's everything that a Bed & Breakfast is supposed to be; historic, quaint, detailed, and cozy. Upon arriving, my boyfriend and I were starving. After allowing us to check in early, we were immediately directed toward a local, Key West favorite: Camille's. See, when staying in a Bed & Breakfast, there is an understood and unmentioned secret code. You don't reserve a room at a place like the Conch House and hope to be led to the Wendy's on Duval Street. No, there is a nature of wild freedom, of touring the unchartered roads of a city that is attached to an oasis such as this. Now, on to the "bed" aspect. We reserved the Cabana room for two nights; a private little cove directly on the pool deck, perfect for two, well-kept with a distinct sense of novelty. The warm orange bed against the bright blue walls was almost Caribbean. It commanded relaxation. They provided all the trimmings of a hotel: fresh towels, miniature soaps, clean linens, without a trace of that store-brand, generic feel. As for the "breakfast" side of things, much can be said for the two pieces of homemade banana bread I devoured, and the 2 pieces I took for the road. They served fresh-cut fruit, hard-boiled eggs, warm cranberry and lemon poppy seed muffins, the standards - bagels, brewed coffee, juice, and mini boxes of cereal. Did I mention the homemade banana bread recipe that's been handed-down through their family? Everything about our stay at the Conch House Heritage Inn was effortless. Check-in and check-out were both simple and untangled. The prime location was a plus, the property clean, the owners warm and welcoming, and the question of where to stay - settled for a lifetime.

We spent 3 nights at the Conch House. We stayed in the upper unit by the pool. The room was very clean & the bed was quite comfortable. The staff is very friendly & Carol is a wealth of knowledge about everything local. The location is great & within walking distance of pretty much everything in Old Town Key West.

I love it here!!! The inn is big but small at the same time. There are not that many rooms so it's a more intimate + romantic setting, but they have many idyllic spots to sit + enjoy the day. I love the porch area. No kids screaming or running around, bc they do not allow kids under 12 yrs old . They bake fresh muffins + banana bread! They had mimosas, too! The complementary continental breakfast was light, fresh, + hit the spot. The pool is secluded + quiet + open 24x7. The room is beautiful! We stayed in the Hemingway room with wood floors in the Delaney House. The 2 person shower is wonderful! Staff are friendly + helpful! The Conch House is beautiful + close to everything! I love the ambiance. The modern air condition kept the room nice + cold, plus I love that it has a remote control! The cable tv is small but we didn't spend too much time watching tv. Free wifi. It's nice to have a small fridge for our drinks + leftovers. I love the privacy yet the inn is close to everything. There was traffic passing by but it was not bad unless you are a real sensitive sleeper + in our room, they had a sound machine with ocean + water sounds. It's about a 5 mins walk to everywhere + parking was conveniently onsite at $7. a day. They know what they are doing here. They paid attention to detail + they have tried to think of everything from floats for the pool + rental bikes to wander around with as well as modern conveniences like effective air control + wifi that works + up to date plumbing + onsite parking. The price is a bargain really. The rooms are clean, the accommodations are wonderful, + the place is well cared for + well-appointed. I was happy with everything + I plan on coming back. I would highly recommend Conch House for its elegance, charm, + carefree convenience!!! I could also see a wedding party renting the entire inn + having a blast!

From the moment I first called and spoke to Carol to the moment we left with a hug, the Conch House was the PERFECT place for us. I use a wheelchair now that I can't walk long distances, so I always call places like B&Bs in advance to find out about accommodations for me. Carol said the Caribbean room was on the first floor of the pool house and had zero steps, a large bathroom, and a small step to get into the shower. Well, I had seen the pictures but to hear her describe that was important for me to make a decision. She told me about other rooms that were available but after talking with my husband, we agreed that this was our best option. I called back and spoke with Hillarie to make the reservation. Even though the room was not in the main house, we were delighted with our choice. It was perfect. The shower head is a little high up for me (but I'm 5'1") and the toilet seems taller than most handicapped toilets because my feet didn't touch the floor (yes, seriously. . .one of those moments where you think to yourself "hmmm, did I . ..shrink? What's going on?"). I didn't need my wheelchair in the bathroom, but if I did, I could have rolled it under the sink. I also LOVED having the entire back of the shower as a seat and very sturdy grab bars. The room was clean, and we all know how important that is. The bed was quite comfortable, the A/C worked well, and we left the ceiling fan on at all times. The closet was large enough to store the wheelchair at night. Refrigerator in the large closet kept our sodas and water bottles icy cold. I usually travel with my own pillow but did not this trip and that was fine. We slept well, and didn't really have trouble with street noise. We did hear the church bells across the street the first morning at 9 (we had gotten in late the night before) and we did hear when fire trucks or ambulances drove with sirens running, but the good thing about being on this side of KW was that we did NOT have roosters waking us up. We have stayed at other B&Bs/guest houses before where a rooster perched on the AC unit each morning before the sun came up and I can assure you that's no fun. . .however, we did not have to worry about that over here. You can hear some noise from guests in the room above you (doors opening/closing, things being dropped on the floor, etc.) but it was normal for the location and nothing annoying. We only used the pool one time, and it was not nearly as warm as I expected - and that was a good thing in the middle of July considering the pool was taking direct sun for hours! My husband helped me down the pool stairs and we floated for awhile and chatted with Hillarie. Before we had arrived, my husband (unbeknownst to me) had called and had spoken with Carol, I believe, to ask about recommendations on florists. We were coming down for our 25th wedding anniversary and he wanted a bouquet that looked like the one I had in 1993. Recommendation was spot on, although I certainly could not lift a bouquet of that size for the renewal ceremony that my husband also had arranged (all together now: "awwww."). So he went into the kitchen and asked Carol to help him pull together a few I could hold. By the time we were to leave, some of the closed lilies had opened, and with that, the orange parts that stain anything they touch. Back to the kitchen for help removing those, wrapping the stems in a water-soaked towel they could spare, and putting the vase in an old box - all done with a smile. We would absolutely stay here, in this room, without thinking about it on our next trip. Perfect for us, and perfect to accommodate my specific needs.

Terrible hotel building with terrible customer service…read more Building is old and consist of few buildings combined. Need to change elevator 2 times to go to your room. Rooms are nicely decorated but not what you expect for $1000 a night. They are way over priced for the quality. Front desk staff is terrible. Don't know how to handle issues which you will have plenty. We didn't have AC 2 out of 3 nights and they didn't even feel bad about it. They said basically it is what it is and we have to deal with it. One night they moved us to another room and they were acting like they were doing us a favor. It was major problem for us. second night they moved us to our room which has broken AC And gave us boxed fan to cool off. Front desk manager is clueless and don't know how to handle issues and he has kids working for him who do not know how to handle anything. They are like teenagers. I would never ever stay there again and warn anyone not to there. Oh you will wake up 5am because of dumpster trucks getting the trash and it takes like 20 min. Another thing is their damn roosters , they start 4am and won't let you sleep. Jesus, it was 3 days of hell!

We wish we had checked out and stayed at Marquesa hotel instead. But everyone was at the same hotel for the weekend so we stuck it out. For the price point, ones expectations are commensurate and this place was not even in the same universe as other hotels charging the same rate. The hotel is right on the water but in key west, the same can also be said for a gas station. Right away you know there's a problem because the elevator to reception smells like rotting seaweed (sargassum). The reception area seems like a guest room that was adapted and its small and dark and doesn't work. Then you get to the guest rooms from the year 1985 with chair railing and crown molding that has never seen a magic eraser in its life. Covered in 40 years of dust and who knows what else. The blinds have never been dusted or replaced in 40 years. Are you getting the picture? The head board had mystery smears on it. Floors were filthy with 40 years of accumulated dust. We dared not step one toe into the murky pool. We watched as guests sat there for hours, drink after drink, and never got out. Not even to use the bathroom? Ewwww. Every day the streets flood with high tide and poor civil planning so coming and going from the hotel means wading in ankle deep water and probably sewage, which is probably why the elevator smells so terribly. No wonder all the associates there seem so sad. I would be too if I worked there. I was sad for the resources and time spent here that I wont get back.

Check-in was busy when we arrived, but the staff remained friendly, patient, and accommodating. We've stayed here several times over the years, including during the renovations, so we've seen the resort through all its phases. It's wonderful to see everything almost completed, and the property looks great. Throughout every visit, the staff has always gone above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. One thing we've learned is that if you have a special request, just ask , they're happy to help whenever they can. Our two-bedroom suite was perfect for our family. We love the layout and found it incredibly comfortable. While many guests prefer the ocean-view rooms, we actually enjoy them, even with the occasional cruise ship in the harbor. Besides, you're in Key West! Take a walk and explore, you'll find gorgeous ocean views all around the island. The location truly couldn't be better. You're within walking distance of Duval Street, Mallory Square, great restaurants, shopping, and so many Key West attractions. We also had dinner at the newly decorated Lolita's Coastal Cocina, and it was absolutely delicious. A special thank you to Damir K., who has been wonderful throughout our stay. His hospitality, along with the rest of the staff, is one of the many reasons we keep coming back. Keep up the great work, Opal Key...we're already looking forward to our next visit!

The only thing missing is a happy hour with wine and cheese! I spent a lot of time trying to find the right room (online). Without being there, it was hard to choose. I chose a poolside room (shared balcony). I was given room 3 and I loved it. :) There is plenty of room for two people. The bed was so comfy and the pillows were perfect. They have complimentary water (2 bottles) in your room. They have a mini fridge and options to buy snacks and liquor. They have fruit infused water next to the pool daily. You will stay hydrated. There is an honor bar next to the water; which has a few pricy options for a beer or other canned beverages. I did see plenty of people have their own drinks poolside. So, outside drinks are allowed at the pool...but no glass. They have two pools. I preferred the pool towards the back. There are lush beautiful plants all around you and you'll often see little lizards scurrying by the pool. They did not have a late checkout for my room but they were nice enough to hold my bags and have use of the pool while I waited for my friends to arrive. I would stay here again but during high season, the rooms get expensive. I loved room 3 but would love to someday stay in the cute cabin looking rooms up behind the pool. They have a covered porch, sitting room m, and a large bathroom. Overall, the service was solid. The grounds of the hotel are lovely, the bed was amazing, and the pools were a lovely respite from the crowded streets and heat of the city.
