We stayed one week night last week. Great location. Central to everything and easy to walk anywhere you want to go. Check in was easy and we were pleasantly surprised by our room...great for the price. Clean, comfy bed, nice little kitchen area and great little courtyard outside. We paid $10 to park out front for the night and wanted... More

Your kind words regarding our guesthouse are very much appreciated by our small staff who work so hard to make us "five stars for what we are"...not fancy, just clean, comfortable, friendly, and a wonderful location. Hurry back to see us and Key West! More

Stayed for five days this past week and totally enjoyed the experience. Far enough off Duval to not hear the traffic or noise but close enough to walk to anything I wanted to. First time for the clothing-optional experience and never felt uncomfortable. All the folks I met around the pool were very easy to talk with and nice.

Very pleased your stay was nice and relaxing and your experience with clothing optional was a good one. Our property is relatively new at "clothing optional". Our guests seem to enjoy the option, whether they chose to use it or wear traditional swimming attire! Thank you. More

We enjoyed the kays Cottage BUT The floors were so dirty that we had to wash our feet anytime we walked on them with out shoes..The bed was hard. The water pressure was slow. The Pool was two blocks away. Besides that i enjoyed the location and the people were nice

We wish you had let the office know immediately that the floor was not to your satisfaction. We could have fixed it immediately. The bed will be checked today. A memory top could have perhaps made it more comfortable for you. We try to ensure everyone knows the pool is a couple minute away and apologize that it was a... More

Our much needed vacation was truly awesome beginning with Kay helping with our reservation. Our check-in went without a glitch. DJ greeted us with an Ice Cold beer and was able to check us in early so we could get our vacation started. DJ gave us advice on the best places to eat and drink with plenty of buy one... More

Yes, we do offer a "complimentary" beer at check in and will gladly share our favorite places. We encourage guests to let us know if anything is not right as soon as possible and be interactive with the office for their needs. We are glad we could help make your Key West Vacation a great one.

Such a quaint beautiful bed and breakfast! So friendly and welcoming. Located a bit farther down Duval but still a great location where we just walked (or scooted) to everywhere we needed to go! Clothing optional pool we were unaware of but not even an issue. Watch our video experience in key west here http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=O8svK8426T8

We are a guesthouse and recommend many fun and delicious locations for breakfast and are conveniently located steps off Duval between the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. It pleases our staff that you enjoyed our humble "abode". It is not for those who like large hotel amenities, like a bar, room service, etc. But many places deliver and we... More

My husband and I and another couple stayed in the Bimini apartment. It was a great place for us, because we are not bathing suit optional people. It was far enough away from the pool area that we did not have to worry about it. We did "check" the pool out, and it was very clean and well maintained, so... More

First time there and in our opinion the best clothing optional we've stayed at yet. Super friendly couples at the pool - just regular folks who want to sunbathe and chat - very comfortable for this "non-swinger" 50+ couple. Loved our week there! Next time we will rent the poolside room, which makes running to the bathroom much more convenient.... More

Couldn't have been happier with my stay at the Olivia! I traveled by myself and stayed in the Captain's Quarter's Back, which is more than enough room for one person. There's a queen-sized bed, a little kitchen area with a full-sized fridge and stove, an option for a pull-out bed, and a bathroom with a stand-up shower. Everything was so... More

My husband and I booked a last minute weekend getaway early March. We booked the Pool House (upper floor). We knew that the pool was clothing optional, and guests took full advantage! I admired how every morning, a hotel employee would come by the pool, put out fresh towels and sunscreen, and seemed to genuinely care about the upkeep of... More
