Avalon Bed & Breakfast

We spent 4 nights at the avalon b&b and couldnt be more pleased. We chose their King Room. It was a great size, wonderful bed and more than enough room for the two if us. The staff is fantastic. The local is great. It is on the quiet end of Duval street so it was perfect for sleeping. We spent a lot of our time down at the other end of Duval so its a 10-15 min walk or hop in a pedi-cab and its great! LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!

My husband and I stayed at this wonderfull B&B in early September 2012. We had a great time. This B&B is in the perfect location to everything. You are able to rent at a low price bikes right across and then just explore away. Being on the south end of Duval street you are still close to the heart of the action but far enough away to not have all of the noise and distractions. The breakfast isn't your typical B&B breakfast and is more along the lines of a continental breakfast with cereal, fresh fruit, bagels and yogart along with orange juice, coffee and hot tea. We stayed in the small queen room which is on the back of the house and loved this room. We loved that it wasn't inside the house and that we could just come through the side gate. Plus we weren't on the road and never heard any traffic. We will definitly stay here again when we come back to Key West!!!

It's home away from home. Able to be lazy and cozy. Breakfast very good. Customer Service right on point.

If you are looking for a clean, affordable and close to the fun then look no further. My wife and I just spent five fabulous days at the Avalon and we have booked again for next year. Our stay exceeded our expectations from the room to the staff. Everything was personal, clean and better then the rest. We spent our last day looking at other places in the area and we feel that none matched the quality that we had. It's close to the beach(1 block) and walking distance to everything Key West (total 1.2 miles). Thank you Avalon House for making our honeymoon one that will always be remembered. We can't wait to see you again at our anniversary. Sincerely, Greg and Nina Tampa, FL

My wife and I visited Key West for the first time to attend a friend's wedding. We decided to stay a few extra days in town. Instead of going with corporate resort style accommodations we decided to try a b&b. In no way were we disappointed. not only was the price awesome for the value, the service was outstanding. They always made sure to go above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. Thank you guys for making our stay so great, we will definitely be back!

We stayed there Sept. 22nd and 23rd, 2011. Loved the quiet location, still within walking distance of everything. The room was charming, Yvonne so gracious, and the continental breakfast was satisfying. I have told many people about Avalon already--hope to stay there again. I did not go in any other B & B's, but Avalon was the prettiest from the outside by far. My husband, sister and brother-in-law agreed that with the breakfast, it was much better than staying in a hotel.

We had a wonderful family reunion at the Avalon over Thanksgiving in this marvelous historic bed & breakfast. Our queen room was so quaint and romantic and we felt great there with the canapy bed. I normally do not sleep well when I am away but slept blissfully there. The best part is the wonderful service from Yvonne, the manager. Yvonne is so wonderful and works so hard to give the guests the best service - and help answer any questions about this wonderful and historic city. She makes certain all of the food and beverages for the lovely continental breakfast are replenished - the fresh fruit is great. The location is perfect, about a block from the beach and 2 blocks from the Southernmost point - far enough away from the maddening crowds on the other side of Duval St. but close enough for a stroll. Yvonne cheerfully accomodates guests checking out by holding luggage and not rushing us out of the Avalon parking lot, The inn is so immaculate and very well maintained with grwt maid service - the maids have been working there for 15 years. The rooms are bright and airy and the ac adjusts with a remote. There is a flat screen tv on the wall and each room has a mini fridge. We definitley plan on returning and will be staying at the Avalon. Emilio Aymerich who built the house on the site to teach Cuban boys Enlgish in 1885 I'm sure would be proud of what his house and school is today.

Stayed 5 nights at Avalon starting 10/06/2011. This place was exceptional. Staff was great. Good breakfast. Staff was great with restaraunt help. We will definetly be back!!

Long story short ..Very nice place to stay, if quaint and Old style florida keys is what your looking for ...Great little breakfast with fresh Fruit ,breakfast breads ,cereals ,bagels and Very good coffee !! The staff is wonderful and friendly ...My wife and i where married September 24th 2011 in Key West and spent are wedding night and the prior few days in the Honeymoon Cabin ...very spacious and well worth the price that we paid for Key West...But the most unexpected part was when we retuturned to our room after getting married to find a bottle of Champagne and Glasses being chilled on a table in front of are bed...Amazing !!! My ONLY complaint ,water pressure in shower is Terrible , and you have to park a block away( Very Low Crime rate here ,but there is unloading parking directly in front of the B&B that makes it convenient ...Thanks again to Yvonne and the rest of the staff for such a wonderful stay ...See you next year !!

My husaband I visited Key West Fla. for the first time in late July 2011. It is a place that he always wanted to visit. We had the fortunate opportunity to stay 5 nights at the Avalon B&B. The Avalon was the perfect spot to stay in Key West. The house is in a great place on Duval Street, quiet but yet still with activity so you still fell connected to Key West. It is within walking distance to everything but yet always a peticab in site to bring you aoround. The house is lovely, very clean and homey. Ms. Yvonne and her kind staff were always present to help you with anything you may need. Ms. Yvonne is the type of person who loves her job and it truly shows. We would certaintly visit Key West again and would definitly choose the Avalon for our home away from home. Jeanne

We came to Key West to stay one night and stayed two. The Inn was clean, quiet, and well managed. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for the quiet end of Duval Street. The desk staff was helpful and friendly also.

Very nice B&B with a staff that is exceptional. Rooms clean & quaint. We will stay here again.

Four nights in the middle of January. Perfect location close enough to action yet quiet and convenient. Extremely friendly staff. Parking could be a bit better in terms of distance and instructions, but all went well. Would stay again.

Our Caribbean cruise out of Miami was canceled last minute and we decided to rent a car and drive down to Key West. We had a wonderful time and our stay at the Avalon was an unexpected pleasure! Now this was June 2003 and the service was great even back then!

Great little place just before the southern most pointe, on the quieter end of duval street, beds and rooms are just so cozy, everything was super clean, and staff very friendly. would definatley stay here again

We booked two queen rooms and were so surprised when we arrived to find ourselves upgraded to kings! Our rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and sitting on the porch to watch the world go by was the best. Yvonne was pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful. She not only guided us as to what to see in Key West, but also told us where the locals shop. (Be sure to stop at Ross' on your way home!) If we get back to Key West, we would definitely stay at the Avalon!

Priscilla greeted me at the front desk and this set the tone for a wonderful but all too short of a stay. She was both congenial and helpful and I wondered if the positive feeling I received through her about this B & B would continue. It did !! Extremely clean, bright, airy, and quiet rooms (I checked out several of them) and a continental breakfast that proved far beyond my expectations! I don't get to Key West often but I have no hesitation recommending the Avalon to my Miami friends who frequent the area.

We stayed 3 nights in a wonderfull king room, where we enjoyed the cleanness and service. We appreciated the calm environment and the short walk to a little beach. It was perfect in all ways. We will surely stay here again if we ever come to Key West once more. Best regards from the Norwegian couple who stay from 5 - 7 July 2010.

Bonjour. Nous sommes français et nous sommes venus dans votre hotel en février 2010 durant 3 nuits. C'était merveilleux: les chambres et le petit-déjeuner était super. Thank You !!

Wonderful stay at this quaint B&B. Quiet, clean rooms. Great location - the hustle and bustle of Duval St. is a short walk away. The peaceful atmosphere was very welcoming! A great place to stay!

We were so happy with our visit. The Avalon was perfect for our romantic birthday weekend and the Avalon helped make everything perfect.

I loved this place. We will stay here every time we visit Key West!!!

We stayed at the Avalon for 3 nights in Jan and I would recommend it. The room was small but we were hardly there. The breakfast was fresh and plenty of it. It was very clean and quiet.

Room was very clean, bright, fresh, and airy. Very simple, romantic, and exactly what we were looking for. Great location on the quiet end of Duval Street, again exactly what we were looking for. We preferred to be away from the hustle and noise of the main part of Duval Street and closer to the beaches and southernmost point. Walking distance to all restaurants, bars, and shops on Duval Street - very easy walk and nice leisurely stroll. Bike rental directly across the street - very convenient. Not a very large pool, however, we were not there to sit by a pool, but rather see the sights and beaches. Continental breakfast had all the basics covered. Nothing fancy, but simple and plenty to eat. Loved the fact that it was quiet and simple. Would definitely stay here again!

Stayed here Jan 2010. Great B&B with a very attentive manager Yvonne and the rest of her crew were all a pleasure to be with and made my wife and I feel very welcome and at home. Outstanding service with a smile from all! Very sharp B&B,located on the quiet end of Duval St. super clean,nice porch,upper & lower. Also alot of history,just ask Yvonne she'll be more than happy to tell you all about this house. One block from the most southern point in the USA or 15min walk to Front St.Great location! We will return! Thank you all for a wonderful experince,Don & Brenda N.J. P.S. Free parking for one car per room just one block over behind the butterfly museum which by the way is across the street from this lovley B&B.

The avalon B&B blew us away. the rose petals on the bed was an outstanding touch. The rooms were very clean. Definitely would recommend to friends and family. We will stay here again!

My Partner & I were visiting KW for one night only, and chose the Avalon B&B - and was extremely pleased with the whole package. The room was well above expectations (Clean, bright & Airy), Land Lady very Pleasant & helpful. All-in-All wish we could have stayed for longer :) Would have no hesitation in recommending this B & B to anyone visiting KW

This quaint and romantic gem was the perfect place to stay for our anniversary. Right in the heart of Key west on Duval street it was easy for us to go to great restaurants and shops. It was walking distance to the finest restaurant in Key West, Pisces. The staff was extremely helpful in planning our excursions and attending to all of our needs.

What more can you say but "Outstanding"

This B&B is very clean and they give pleasant, responsive customer service. the swimming pool is tiny and is really a spa without the hot water and jets. The rooms are pleasant and comfortable, however, my room had an air conditioner unit that could not be adjusted - you had to settle for 1. AC on with a high setting or 2. AC off. This is not ideal for a room that is in Key West in August (sweat or use the AC AND a blanket).

We really appreciate and value your comments as this helps us to improve our property. Regarding the air conditioners, in a couple of our rooms they are too high up for the guest to easily change the controls, other than the on/off wall switch. We try to keep them at a level suitable for most guests, but are happy to change them lower or higher if a guest requests. As we replace the A/C's we wre opting for ones with remote controls to eliminate this problem. Our pool is of a size in line with most B & B's, particularly in Key west where land space is very limited. It is ideal for a nice refreshing dip after a day of sightseeing on Duval Street.

The Avalon Bed & Breakfast is one of the best places to stay at key west. As soon as you walk in you can't help but feel at home with the friendly staff. Once we walked inside our room it was breathtaking. The bed was decorated with rose petals in a shape of a heart it brought back memories of our wedding and the main reason we were at key west for our anniversary. There is free continental breakfast every morning outside the porch of this beautiful Victorian house where you can enjoy your coffee as you see people walk by. It is also walking distance from many restaurants, shops and beach. I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone who is looking for a romantic vacation or a quiet vacation with the family.

We booked our Christmas trip ourselves to the Keys, as a part of a longer Florida vacation. From the beginning Avalon B&B was extremely helpful via email and telephone. When coming to Duval st. we could not believe our eyes; perfect location, extremely cosy rooms and a service that was way beyond what one could ask for. The girls at Avalon made our stay in the Keys a memorable piece of our Florida trip. Many thanks; a Swedish family of four.

very pleasant. Manager, Yvonne, extremely helpful, above and beyond call of duty-room quiet-no noise carried from inside building (street noise, another matter). very satisfied.

friendly, personal

My husband and I got married in Key West and stayed at the Avalon B&B. I'd never been to KW before and was very pleasantly surprised with the avalon. Would recommend it and would stay again.

This was our first time at Key West and the hospitality was absolutely wonderful! The inkeeper was extremely helpful and took great care of us. We will definitely stay here again the next time we're in Key West.

A wonderful, clean quaint place close to attractions but far enough away for quietness! Definitely worth a repeat!

Yvonne and Tracy were great. location great. room great. activities, food and shopping great. trip home almost great

Everything was clean - safe and comfortable. It was our first time with a bed and breakfast. We are now sold on B&Bs. Everything was so personal and we liked it very much!

My husband and I eloped to Key West. The Avalon was booked at the time we were going to be there, but we checked out the "sister" site, called Duval Gardens. They had openings, so we asked for the one with the small sitting area since we were staying for 11 days. Let me just say, we could not have been more pleased with this guest house. The breakfast is light, but it is so hot in Key West that eggs and bacon just were not a priority for us. Christina and Fatima were two of the nicest people we have ever met anywhere. Fatima always had a smile and would leave plently of supplies on the little couch outside our room when we had the "do not disturb" sign on. Christina helped us set up a lot of our activities, and she was so helpful! We pulled our motorcycle in a trailer and Christina helped us find the Avalon parking lot (plenty of room), and we used the bike to get around and parked it at Duval Gardens. I read some reviews about the pool being small, but it was plenty big enough to cool off in. This place was super clean and modern. The air worked great and we could watch cable when it was too hot to go out and we just wanted to lay around. The location is perfect. It is on the far end of Duval Street, so we did not have any of the "night life" noise. It was very close to some of the beaches. We highly recommend Duval Gardens, and the Avalon is very similar and owned by the same person, so we are sure it is excellent as well. We will stay here again, and we will recommend them to all our friends. We were a little late checking out and there were no worries. They did not rush us. Just lots of smiles and helpfulness! We think you will be very pleased with the location, cleanliness, and especially the friendly service! You will not regret choosing these guys.

Perfect in every way. Quaint, clean, great location, charming!

My best friend and I went away for a week. We had a fantastic time, the B&B was adorable. Tracy and Yvonne were great, very friendly, lots of info on where to go and what to see. We are planning to stay there again on our next trip.

This B&B is in a great location to everything in Key West. We were able to walk everywhere. The rooms where clean and Yvonne made our stay special. We will be back. Great place to stay.

1st time at Key West. First time at a B&B. Was everything I thought it would be and better. The ladies at Avalon were so helpfull. From direstions to where to eat. Loved every minute. Will go back. What happens in Key West stays in Key West!!!!

My wife and I recently stayed at the Avalon and were totally impressed by the spotlessly clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff and the all around experience. Booking online can be a risky thing but this was much better than we could have hoped. We have visited Key West several times and this was by far the nicest place we've ever stayed. This is the place to stay if you are traveling to Key West.
