Guest Services and Accessibility

Accepts dogs ($50 daily fee, maximum two per room). Children aged 5+ welcome in rooms with sofa beds. Offers packages including champagne, local chocolates, flowers, and beer. Due to historic preservation, the property has narrow hallways and no wheelchair-accessible showers. The Parlor Suite on the first floor has a shower with step-up entry.

“This Key West guesthouse stands out for its commitment to Victorian authenticity, offering a unique step back in time alongside modern comforts. I'm particularly drawn to the fact that guests can anticipate a gourmet breakfast and a social happy hour, fostering a real sense of community. It presents a distinctive experience, especially appealing to those wanting more than a standard hotel stay.”
