Extremely enjoyable and looking forward to our next visit
Pros:

From the moment we stepped onto the property until the end of our stay we experienced tropical paradise in Old Town Key West. If you enter the property you might encounter the property feline lounging on the wrap around porch of The Island City House. Walking through the garden we easily found the office and checked into our room in the Arch House. A perfect porch for breakfast coffee and reading old stories and fables about Key West.
The staff was amazing and took great care of us the entire stay. We even had a little mixup with our luggage and the management wasted no time in accommodating us.
Guests will find the location just right as it is in easy walking distance to Duval Street, The Bight, and Mallory Square.
A tropical paradise in a beautiful old cluster of buildings.

Considering this trip was a birthday gift for my wife, she was extremely pleased.
Pros:

The entire experience was well worth the price. We would definitely consider returning for another visit.

Cons:

The setting was wonderful. Between the pool, gardens, coy pond, and courtyards, it was a most relaxing stay. The staff was also wonderful and helpful.

Super relaxing tropical setting
Pros:

The grounds are beautiful. It’s a lush tropical setting with plenty of places to sit or lounge. The pool was also nice. The location of this property is one of its best features. You’re in a quiet neighborhood but close enough to walk to all the attractions. I’m going back. I loved it

Pros:

Well I've been staying here since 1988! I keep coming back because it has the complete Key West ambience I'm looking for as well as a little bit of privacy. This is easy walking distance to most everything but, secluded with great landscape and different options for three different properties on site.

Cons:

Well many years ago it used to be a bed and breakfast where they offered a nice continental breakfast but I know that's changed for a lot of properties in town this one included. No worries though because you do have your own kitchen which makes it very easy to prepare similar things at home if you don't want to eat out all the time.
