Great

Breakfast was great , just on the rooms they could a bit make some changes. For example would be great if on the bathroom door to have some hooks where you can hang up your towels or your clothes . Not place everything on top of the toilet lid. Otherwise we liked our stay. And would definitely stay again in the near future.

We stayed in the Hellmann. Super comfortable bed and pillows. Very quiet and pleasant stay. However, extremely small bathroom with no shelves on wall to put stuff, so difficult to get ready for the day in there. A mirror in the room would maybe help. Otherwise we enjoyed the peace and quiet and the uniqueness of the property and would definitely stay again!

Nice stay

The property is nice, clean, and comfortable. Three of us stayed in the Williams cabin. One guest used the fold out couch and said it was comfortable enough. The bathroom is off the bedroom so the extra person had to enter the bedroom to access it. The kitchen had basic utensils, etc. The continental breakfast offered enough selections to make all of us happy. It was a nice place for the price.

Loved staying here. The owner greeted us and was super friendly and helpful. The cleaning staff always did a great job. The area is a little further from the Main Street in Key West, but that makes it more quiet and allowed us to relax.
