Garden House

Location and price was great, but the rooms were small and the walls were paper thin. The room was clean, but the furnishings were old. Breakfast was just yogurt and bread.

The Garden House was a great place to to stay in Key West. If you are used to staying at the Ritz Calton you may have to drop your expectations, however it is a nice place and our room was spotlessly clean. Breakfast of yogurt, english muffins, bagels and sweet breads was served on a central patio beside a small pool with waterfall. It's a quiet & private setting that we enjoyed and provides a chance to talk (if you want) to other guests and with Nancy....the manager. Nancy by the way is a very nice person, accommodating and...pretty funny. All in all.....I would not hesitate to stay there again or to reccommend it to others.

Air conditioner insufficient. Mosquitoes in bedroom. Mold in shower. Soiled blanket on bed. Not worth the 190.00/night price tag. Will not be returning!

We have stayed at The Garden House many times and it is always wonderful, a home away from home type of place. Nancy was always fun and helpful. There for anything you needed and had great stories to share. All guests get together and visit at breakfast and Happy Hour which is a nice opportunity to get to know the people you are getting to share the amazing experience of Key West with. If you want quiet and isolation, you should not be choosing anything in Key West. Key West is all about community and getting to know each other. If have the right state of mind for Key West in general, The Garden House will meet all of your needs.

The West Indies room at the Garden House is great! It is a very large room with great furnishings. The shower is a little small to accomodate the dual shower heads mentioned, but it is more than ample room for one person. I shared this room with a girlfriend for a destination wedding and we had PLENTY of space. I work in the hotel industry, and was very pleased with everything about our stay. Nancy is wonderfully engaging, as are her dog, Jasper and the resident cat, Gilbert. It is impossible not to feel like you've immediately taken over this B&B and you'll feel right at home during the daily happy hour. At $200.00 a night, the West Indies Room is a great value. Thank you! - I did not partake in the breakfast each morning

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Garden House B&B - Key West. The room was clean, not spacious, and there was little room for storage of clothing or other brlongings. I could not connect to the GH Network to use my computer after much advice and many attempts from various locationss around the facility. There is no inside area to congregate for pleasure or food service - only the patio. The patio is so small and limited in space that when we did eat there we were urged out ASAP so that other guests could be seated. The pool/spa (?) was continually dirty and/or under maintenance. Nancy was a treat even though she is a Red Sox fan! :-) We do not believe we received we received value for the dollar spent at over $200/night. We have stayed at B&Bs all across the US and would rank this one in the lower 25% of those we visited.

Units have paper thin walls-whole place needs cleaning and updating But the place does have a certain key west charm to it.

Nancy will make you feel right at home from the second you arrive. The location is perfect distances to everything. The rooms were very nice, clean, and comfortable, slept like a baby! Nothing bad to say about anything. Will never stay anywhere else.

Would like to have had coffee out before 8:30AM, but it was wonderful. Gary

John the owner was very helpful in information about the area and Nancy set it all up for us. What a great time we had becasue of the location of the B&B. Anthony & Arlene

Room exceded our expectations service NANC Y AND JOHN WERE WONDERFUL HOSTESS AND HOST Value eceeded our expectations Cleanliness the two servers were excellent

We have been staying at Garden House sine 2001. A group of the guys sail down from Punt's Fords and our wives drive down. It is 2 blocks from the Marina and parking for our wives is next door. You can walk from Garden House to anywhere in Key West! We had a great time thee with two other couples and will stay there again.

Small room has not been updated for awhile. Comfort of guest does not seem to be a priority (inadequate lighting at night, only a small towel ring by sink, small rod to hang clothes, bathroom rug not washed for some time.) But location is great.

Great place to stay in Key West, clean and comfortable. Easy walk to all the sites We will stay there again

When we first arrived at the Garden House, we were greeted by the most outgoing, sweet, wonderful woman named Nancy! We just loved her! Because of this woman, we are going to book our next stay at the Garden House! Yes, the accomodations were perfect for my husband and myself! Yes, the location was absolutely perfect! We had such a nice time in a GREAT place! Thank you and we cannot wait to come back!

We totally enjoyed our 2011 Christmas weekend at Garden House. We chose a small room based on price, but everything was clean and the whole experience very enjoyable. The location is excellent and John is a great host. We'll be back!

We had a group of 12 and didn't know what to expect about the accommodations and such a big "energetic" group. It turned out to be the perfect place. We loved the deck and pool area. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect. It is an easy walk to Duval St., Sunset Pier and Mallory Square. Great time and great memories at the Garden House.

We stayed in the Gecko Grotto room, one of the smaller rooms at the Inn. Room was clean with a mini-fridge and a private bath. Very comfortable. Perfect for the two of us. Breakfast was standard continental breakfast fare..nice having morning coffee right outside the door. Nancy, the inn manager, is a lot of fun and very helpful. The location is great - an easy walk to the bars on Duval and to Mallory Square, yet far enough away to be peaceful. Definitely a good value (by Key West standards). The only "surprise" we had was that we thought there was guaranteed parking.. the parking is on-the-street if available. If no spaces are available, you can park in the church lot for a suggested donation of $10 per day. We were happy with our experience, and would stay there again on our next visit.

Really well placed for all key west attractions. Very friendly, staff very helpful.

We really enjoyed staying at the Garden House. Both Nancy and John were very accomodating and the location was convenient. Had a lot of fun with our group and met some nice people at the daily poolside Happy Hours.

Very pleasant, close to everything, loved the lagoon and casual but accomodating feeling

Great little place to stay for a getaway! Loved the heated pool and cozy area.

We've stayed at many places around the island, but the Garden House is the place we keep going back to. It has the old Key West charm we miss in other places. Being 2 1/2 to 3 blocks from Duval Street and just 2 blocks from the Key West waterfront sure helps as well! A friendly staff---Nancy is da bomb! We look forward to our next stay at the Garden House.

We arrived after the office closed but found everything was taken care of by the staff. In the morning we were welcomed as family. Nancy, the office manager was great. Nice quiet location but close to everything.

The Garden House was perfect for our four day weekend to Key West. Great location, nice basic rooms, friendly staff & fair price. Bikes on property were a big plus. We were able to use them two different days to explore the island. Everything in Key West is within biking or walking distance so there is no need to bring or rent a car. Have a great trip!

I've stayed at the Garden House several times and from a location point of view, you can't beat it. The staff are incredibly friendly and no issue is to large for them to deal with. The place is not the ritz but it's Key West and if you looking to be waited on hand and foot, your in the wrong place. If your looking for a place to stay, close to the action in Key West, the Garden House is your spot.

This Bed & Breakfast is a quaint litte Inn almost in the heart of Downtown Key West. There are lots of activities within walking distance of the Inn. The room was very clean and the service was great. Love the "Happy Hour" on the Porch! The conciege and her "Four Legged Friend" were a tremendous help to us. I highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast to anyone who is looking for a wonderful place to stay in Key West. I will definitely stay at this Inn in the future!

Great location, and beautiful property. All that you need for a B&B in Key West. Nancy and John were very accomodating!! Comfy room and relaxing pool and Happy Hour was always a blast!! Walking and biking distance to everything!! We will go again for sure!

had a great time as always. nice amenities, close to action, quiet, clean, comfortable

It was nice. Pricey, and curious about how to get lesser rate. They provided valuable coupons that were great! The service was good!!!!!

Room a little bit small and bathroom was very small and showed some signs of water damage from shower. Sink was slow draining. Nancy G. was very helpful and an interesting sense of humor. Good location.

The best part of the bed and breakfast was meeting fellow travelers. We formed a bond immediately and did our activities as a group for our short stay. Would definitely stay again. Good location to Duval and boardwalk

Pleasent stay..friendly staff.. they could offer something for people at happy hour that do not drink alcohol beverages

Cute place, loved staying there....nothing fancy and could use come work/updates but it is clean and in a fabulous location!

My husband and i spent three days at the garden House and enjoyed it very much. The place is small so you get to meet all the other guests at happy hour every night, They serve a continental breakfast which was just muffins, bagels, and some kind of homemade bread along with coffe or tea.The Hostess , Nancy was very nice and quite funny kept you smiling . We would definatley go back again

For a B&B it was terrible - room was very average - too close to noisy pool breakfast bar area - food terrible - store bought frozen pastry and bagels. Juice was rancid. Pool was dirty. Gutters were falling off. Overgrown garden area with dead material everywhere. SKIP IT.

Rooms nice; location proximity to Duval St and wharf area really good; continental breakfast ok but no fruit; happy hour (beer and wine) was limited basically wine - had to request beer - but enjoyed chance to meet other guests from other countries; pool was nice but small for 10 rooms - great to cool down after hot summer day of walking about; both managers very helpful on places to eat and attractions (coupons). Best feature was proximity to attractions.

The Garden House was great place to stay. Quiet, but not too far from the action. We would definitely stay again.

We had a nice stay at the garden house. The room was clean and freshly made everyday. We found the ceiling fan in our room didn't work but we told the managee and it was fixed the next day. The garden house is in a great location far enough from duval for peace and quiet but easily within walking distance for most attractions. The staff was very helpful and courteous.

What a charming, unique experience! The room did not seem to be as large in person as it appeared on the web, but we thoroughly enjoyed our time there and the manager is a wonderful, colorful, charater.

I enjoyed my stay, very comfortable and clean. Good breakfast in the morning. I was disappointed by the pool, very small (3 people in it was a crowd) and no place to sit in the sun, otherwise very nice.

This bed and breakfast was very close and convenient to all the activities old town has to offer. Nancy was wonderful and inviting, spending time with guests and sharing stories and info. Rooms are small, however, you don't spend much time in them, very quiet overall reasonable for old town. Will definitely stay there again.

The location of the garden house is AMAZING! I would definitely stay here again. My one complaint would be that the walls are very thin. You can hear everything!

We really enjoyed it. The service was excellent. Breakfast was excellent.

Looking for a clean, friendly staff, and comfortable place to stay in Key West? That is also walking distance to everything! Look no more......This is a wonderful place to stay, average rate, quaint place with beautiful gardens(hence "The garden house") the staff is great. We have stayed there on a couple of occassions now and I would definately go back and reccommend it to others ;)

My wife and I stayed in room 2, the Gecko Grotto, right by the pool. How cool, what a relaxing visit! If you've never been to Key West and like to party, Duval Street is the place and the Garden house is like 2 blocks from the action. To get the full experience of island vacationing, one of these B&B's is just the thing. If you need 5 star, go someplace else 'cause this ain't it, the GH isn't about luxury, it's about fun and relaxation. The staff is very accomodating. Thanks Nancy, you're the best host ever! I'm looking forward to our next stay already.

Bed & Breakfast needs some tender loving care. very small pool area.. continental breakfast hit the spot but very basic. room very small. Location cannot be beat .. just 2 blocks from Duval St.. Has a good time.. The owners and staff very friendly..

We enjoyed the atmosphere & friendliness of the B&B. Did not spend too much time there. Close to everything in Key West.

Other than trying to find the location, we had a wonderful time. The service and hospitality was amazing.

This B&B is great! Very quaint, tropical and quiet. It's close to everything you really want to do in Key West - in the heart of Old Town and withing short walking distance to Duval. A Great time! Nancy, the manager, is very friendly and welcoming.

somewhat tired building, overextended, no hair dryer, in need of maintenance to bring back to scratch. Helpful owner/staff, no 2nd day room servicing, limited continental breakfast. Great location for the best of Key West. We had a good time and the above did not spoil our visit.

Wir waren Anfang April 2011 bei Nancy im Garden House zu Gast. Es war ein tolles Erlebnis! Die Zimmer sind sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Der Pool ist eingebettet in einen herrlichen kleinen Garten. Wir wurden von Nancy liebevoll aufgenommen und kamen gerade rechtzeitig zur Happy Hour mit Bier und Wein. Das Garden House liegt zentral, wir konnten alles gut zu Fuß erreichen. Frühstück gab es im Garten, es hat an nichts gefehlt. Wir würden uns sofort wieder für das Garden House entscheiden. Aus Deutschland grüßen Marion und Johann, Carsten und Karina

My wife and I stayed at the Garden House on Easter weekend for 2 nights. If you're looking for a decent priced B&B close to everything the Gardenhouse is the answer. Nancy the Innkeeper is awesome and entertaining with plenty of Key West stories.

The Garden House has the best location for everything!! We rented scooters and only used them twice. We definitely should have taken advantage of the rental bikes they had at Garden House and saved ourselves a bundle. Very friendly owner/manager and loved Gilbert (cat).

Clean, comfortable, quiet, nestled in tropical garden. Couldn't ask for more.

nancy is the best first time staying we will be back stayed april 22 till april 25 2011 best place to stay pam & mike

Really a perfect location - close to everything but have your own private retreat at the Inn. Food was ok, but not what I came to Key West for anyway. We'll be back!

This is the second time we have stayed here. The value for its location can't be passed up. The rooms are small, but we didn't go to Key West to stay in our room. Only steps from Duval street and all the action and most of the sights we were interested in. We didn't use our car once.

Owner was very welcoming & personable. Our room was clean & met our expectations & the free breakfast & happy hour were a nice touch. Very conveniently located to everything we were interested in doing & seeing. Our only complaint was on the 2nd night of our stay, it appeared that a guest was having a private party by the pool. This completely changed the relaxed atmosphere and the behavior of some of the guests made my sister & I uncomfortable. We felt compelled to return to our room instead of continuing to enjoy the pool. But we would recommend this property and definitely stay again.

A perfect spot, close to all the best of Key West. A little funky but I would return again. The wine and beer in the afternoon was great and a good time to meet other travelers.

Very pleasant people and setting but the bathroom had a sink falling off the wall and the shower sprayed water all over the bathroom. (Paradise Palm room)Breakfast was bagels and coffee cake. Room was clean and kept cool with AC.

We love Nancy, Jasper and Gilbert! Had a great first visit to Key West.

My wife and i were visiting for a quick getaway and had a wonderful time. Lots of laughs with other guests including our hostess and life of the party, Nancy. The location is perfect to be at the 'fun' end of Duval St. Rooms were small but clean.. We will definitely will be back. Thanks, again! J&S

What a great place! The woman running the office (Nancy) is an absolute sweeheart. They were very helpful with suggesting places to see, eat, and do. She also went out of her way to make sure we saved every penney we could on our electric cart we rented while there. The room was very cute, clean, and quiet. I would definitely recommend this B&B to anyone!

Nice B&B within walking distance of everything you need to see in Key West. We enjoyed relaxing in the pool in the evening.

I don't feel like the tiny room was worth $250 per nite ( there was no closet ) so no place to store any of our luggage or things; but it was otherwise a cute place w/ character & a top notch location in walking distance to Duval the happening street. You could also rent bikes from hotel for $10 for the day.

Definitely would stay here again! Our party of six thoroughly enjoyed the B&B atmosphere. Very close to all the fun things to do in Key West.

My wife and I reviewed many B&B's on the Web before selecting the Garden House. We were not disappointed! We were greeted warmly and felt right at home within minutes. The Happy Hour put us in the people mingling mood. It is truly only a "Crawl away from Duval" Street. Our reservations for sunset cruises and fishing trips by the staff were done, so we didn't have to worry about those things. When we return we will come back here and stay even longer next time.

Nancy and John are both wonderful hosts who will do whatever they can to make your stay enjoyable. We will definitley stay there on our next visit to Key West. Close to everything but still a quiet retreat. And the happy hour is a great time to get to know the other guests.....

we had a blast staying as a group here! the bathrooms were a bit tiny, but other than that, great time. nancy was a fun hostess.

My husband and I spent two wonderfull nights at the Garden House with it's great location and very generous happy hour. Nancy was great and full of information. We highly recommend this quaint guest house as we found it to be well priced, clean and sociable.

Arrive on Thursday. Desk person escorted us to the room and it was very nice. He explained about happy hour and the morning breakfast. After a brief chat about things to do and places to go we were off to explore the Keys.We were given many coupons for places in Key West for discounts. The happy hour and breakfast were very good with plenty to eat and drink. We departed Sat. with fond memories of the people and our hosts at the Garden House.

My husband and I were down in the keys for his 40th Bday celebration. We've spent a lot of time down there since we're neighbors and we have fallen in love with the Garden House. Perfectly located near Old Town, it's just far enough away from the crowds and close enough to walk to everything. Nancy was a doll and made our stay very pleasurable. We will definitely be back!

The Mermaid and The Alligator was a wonderful experience. Spotless, serene, beautiful gardens, wonderful breakfasts, great staff. Guaranteed to be a great relaxing stay!!!

This was my first visit to the Garden House and it provided outstanding accomodations. The staff was friendly and informative and the location a short walk from Mallory Square or any part of Duval Street. The room was smaller that a typical hotel room but it was perfect for what is Key West...tropical comforts and peace and quiet. Can't wait to come back.

room was smaller than it looked in picture but the value was outstanding. overall very happy

We are a senior couple from Denmark and we can surely recommed this place. We did have some great days during new year and one of the ressons were Garden House. Great place in the heart of Key West. Go there and You will have a great stay :-)

Fun place to stay. Convenient to Duval and all the action. Bathroom needs some updating - along with more towel bars and/or hooks.

We enjoyed our stay at this B&B. The staff was very friendly and always eager to please. I was hoping for a little more of a subtantial breakfast--not a continental breakfast. However, it was good and fresh. This B&B was ideally located within walking distance of the famous Duvall Street and the harbor.

The receptionist was very helpful and friendly. Bike rental was great.

enjoyed the stay, had 6 other couples with us. layout gives plenty of area for relaxing and hanging in the pool. Location could not be better, seemed like we were 1.5 blocks from everything!!!

The wife and I have stayed here once or twice a year for over 10 years now, sometimes with additional friends as well. We will be there in 2 weeks for Fantasy Fest. have stayed over Thanksgiving and Conch Republic Days as well as other times. The quaint 10 room B&B is a great value for it's location. It's quiet as it's in a residential area, has a nice group of return vacationers that many times we get to see old friends which we have met there. John and Connie the owners take great care of their guests and the manager Nancy is all you could want as far a knowledge of the in and outs of Key West for your stay. Rooms are clean, the Garden around the pool are well maintained. The morning breakfast and afternoon happy hour are nice as well. Close proximity to Duval and to the Key West Bight make it the place to be and the most FUN inn in Key West.

This was our first time staying at this B&B. We've stayed at others, but the location of this one was fantastic. Close to everything at the end of Duval, but a little removed so that we could leave it behind and relax as well.

Eight years ago we made our first trip to Key West and found this Bed and Breakfast on the internet. When we first read the friendliest B&B within crawling distance of Old Key West, we said we had to try it. To tell you how happy we are about the Garden House, we have been back six times. Each time gets better. The rooms and continental breakfast are great, and happy hour is super. There are plenty of opportunities to meet and visit with other guests, which is half the fun. John and his staff go out of their way to assist you in anyway they can. Try it, you will like it! Oh, by the way, we are returning again this February. Don and Amy, New York State

We have stayed at the garden house 3 times, and have had a very relaxing stay. It is within walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go. The continental breakfast on the pool deck is real nice and cozy. The garden area and pool and patio are real cozy too! Nancy and John make sure everything is kept clean and done right. We will alway's stay there when we visit Key west!!! Sue and Rod

My wife and I stayed in the West Indies King, and it was just the best choice for us. Everything was great, the room was clean, just the right size, convenient location. Nancy was very helpful with everything from discount coupons to directions to attractions to suggestions for dining. We visited the pool one evening at 5:40 just to check out the pool and were happy to find happy hour going on. If you prefer 5 star, well this isn't it, this charming B&B is for anyone who really appreciates the spirit and hospitality of Key West. We'll definitely looking forward to coming back in near the future.

My wife and I (50's) stayed for 3 nights in June. The location couldn't have been better. We were fortunate to find a parking space right in front of the office. We didn't move it at all until we were ready to leave. You can walk everywhere from there. The breakfasts were tasty and the afternoon happy hour was great after being out and about all day. The room we had was tiny, but we didn't spend much time in it anyway. Next time we'll book a larger room. . . . . and there will be a next time. I have already given your information to my daughter who is scheduling a visit in July '09.

Our recent stay at The Garden House was very convenient and very centrally located. From The Garden House, everywhere was easy to get to. The Board walk, entertainment and tours were within easy walking distances. The rooms were very nice and cozy. The lounging area was ok. Something you probably won't spend a lot of time at. But who goes to the Keys to lounge around a BB. One thing that I have to comment on is that when they are preparing the Continental Breakfast and you have a room anywhere near the back kitchen, you will hear them setting up around 7:45ish in the morning. From: 1 (Bad) -to- 10 (good), I would give it a 7 rating. The morning kitchen noise was a minus 2 of the top. Sincerely, You, Me and The Doc.

The location, staff, accomodations, pool, gardens and Gilbert the cat was a wonderful combination. With so many B & B's to choosee from, we are so glad that we opted for the Garden House - we plan on becoming regulars!

My husband & I + his brother & his wife stayed at Garden House in Feb. 2008. It was awesome. Very nice, very clean, extremely convenient to all attractions. Gilbert is a doll & we certainly got our cat-fix with him. Everyone associated with this B&B is wonderful. We are going to come back in Feb. 2009 & stay longer.

My wife and I (age 40ish) took our first trip to the Keys in July of 2007 and stayed for four days and nights at the Garden House on Elizabeth St in Key West. It was a very conveniently located two blocks to Duvall Street, many other shops and restaurants. Just around the corner from a 24 hour convenience store, the GH seemed that it would be perfect for our vacation. And it was! John, the owner is friendly and helpful, and is on the premises almost everyday. The staff at the GH will make reservations at restaurants for those who need them and can also assist with booking all of your water sport needs. We enjoyed reclining in the lovely courtyard and in the small but nice and very clean pool (with Jacuzzi jets), relaxing in our well kept, cool and tropically furnished room and every evening sharing Happy hour (free beer and wine in the courtyard) with some of the other guest. Continental breakfast was also lovely with homemade goodies as well as the standards. It was just what we needed before touring Key West. We highly recommend the Garden House Inn to everyone.
