Looking for the perfect AFFORDABLE hide-away in Key West? Located in a remodeled Victorian Home - this guest room is just perfect for two!
This guest room is cozy (the size of a small hotel room, 10'X12.5') with a QUEEN size bed but is so much better than a hotel room. We provide high quality egyptian cotton sheets and thick, luxurious towels. Your private bath has a "rain shower" shower head. And a studio kitchen with apartment sized fridge, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, two burner cook top, blender, and everything you'll need to cook and serve a romantic meal. It is nice to be able to make a sandwich or picnic to take to the beach! There is a wonderful table just out the back door if you would like to eat under the palm trees.
Don't want to cook???
No need really - just a block and a half is Duval Street where hundreds of bars & restaurants await your fun times. The beach is a five minute walk and there you can enjoy the gorgeous warm turquoise water ALL YEAR ROUND. Just relax on the pristine white sand under the tall swaying palms. When you get too hot - simply stroll back to your air conditioned hide-away.
The bed faces an armoire and 32" flat screen TV. The gorgeous Victorian Home which is now divided into individually owned rooms - is an architectural masterpiece... but unlike many bed and breakfasts, walls are thick and your privacy is insured. The neighborhood is a wondereful mix of guest houses, full time local folks, and visitors. While you are walking the streets - stop and chat a spell with anybody who is rocking on their front porch. You might meet some real Key West characters! Our location is so close to Duval (a five minute walk - it will be a great place to gather with friends to head "downtown."
OUTSIDE There is a wonderful back deck with lovely shaded eating area, another picnic table under the huge Banyan tree, and lots of lounge chairs to lay in the sun. These are all within the fenced yard of the property. It really is amazing to find this quiet seclusion right off of the excitement of Duval Street!
You will find coupons and local discounts to many attractions, restaurants and bars. What type of coupons? Discounts on drinks, discounts and specials on water sports including sunset sails, discounts on glass bottom boat rides, 50% off a local Scavenger Hunt and free passes to a cabaret drag show. The coupons and vouchers will vary but I put together a packet of fun coupons so that you can come down and enjoy yourself instead of spending part of your vacation looking for discounts!
Also included - A Photo Scavenger hunt put together by a couple friends of mine. We spent the day walking around Key West finding the best spots to take photos of things that make a Key West vacation complete. Includes a map and sample photos, see if you can take pictures at all the locations too!
We want to provide an affordable solution to the high prices of Key West Hotels - and we think this is it! If you are looking for a full service hotel this is not for you. My studio is best for folks that want to see Key West, not stay in their room during their vacation. While it is quite small, it is one of the best values in Key West. We don't pretend to be a full resort, we are a great option for those that are looking for value and a clean well appointed room! WE GUARANTEE YOUR UNIT WILL BE SPARKLING CLEAN UPON YOUR ARRIVAL. So come on down to the Southernmost City and have some fun!
Two bikes are provided for your use at no extra charge. They are right on property with the number 5 (our apartment number) on each bike. You will be able to ride to beaches, parks, botanical gardens and of course, bars, restaurants and sunsets!!
And you will enjoy our "Favorites" book which has all of the menus of our favorite restaurants, ideas for day trips, the best attractions and some coupons you will love. We live here and if you have ANY questions - PLEASE call and ask...we know ALL of the LOCAL HOTSPOTS.

Amazing Room Provided by an Incredible Owner

My wife and I stayed here for a few days and loved it. It was very clean when we got there. We didn't use many of the things that were provided (bicycles, washer, dryer, microwave, dishes, etc.), but it was nice to know that these were there if we chose to use them. The location made it easy to walk just about anywhere that we wanted to go. The pictures provided are current and accurate. The owner provided OUT OF THIS WORLD service through his recommendations and communication. We took advantage of his insight and had wonderful breakfasts at Pepe's and Blue Heaven. We had lunch at El Meson De Pepe, great cuban food. We also had a wonderful dinner at Rooftop Cafe. Overall, the visit was fantastic. If you are like us and really enjoy a great burger, I would also strongly suggest Cheeseburger Key West! I actually emailed the owner and recommended adding it to the list. A couple other thoughts to throw in. Definitely take a trolley tour early in your visit...it was relaxing and enlightened us on some of the things you may be surprised about as far as Key West. I would definitely recommend snorkeling. We went out on the Fury Double Dip and it was fantastic, other than several people getting stung by jellyfish. I would say though, learn to snorkel BEFORE going, learning on the fly was difficult for some and took away some of the enjoyment. We also went on a ghost tour...it wasn't scary, but it was very entertaining and there were many stories about the history of Key West that we probably would never have known otherwise. Also, if you want to take a picture at the Southernmost Point (like all visitors), go EARLY in the day or LATE in the evening unless you want to stand in a theme park type line. Most of all, make sure you bring some good walking shoes and a happy, carefree attitude. We were eating at one place and witnessed a family get up and leave because a bird flew in. It is Key West, what did they expect with doors open and such? The laid back feel of the entire island was awesome! This was my first visit to Key West and definitely won't be my last! Great recommendations, comfortable and friendly place to stay and amazing water. I would absolutely recommend staying in this studio and at least trying out a few of the owner's recommendations. When we go back, he is the first person I'm contacting to see if he has a bigger place (to bring the kids) or any recommendations. He has a customer and friend here. Thank you again!

We loved our stay/honeymoon soo much the room was small, but very cozy and comfortable. The bed was clean and very comfy! It was close to everything but we still rented a scooter to get around faster. Ken was fast at answering questions and replying to emails. We tried a few of his recommendations for food and loved them! Key west is an amazing place to stay for any occasion, we even rode the Ghost tours trolly at night it was soo spooky and fun! Here are a few restaurants to try while in Key West- Santiago's Bodega- Try the beef tenderloin! Upper Crust- I know pizza, but it is a must try specially the calzone it can feed 2-3 ppl! Thai Cuisine -on Greene St- try the Bagel roll Tempura Fogarty's- There plates of food are big enough to share and great price. We tried the Grouper it was great. Half Shell Raw Bar- good oysters, try the Oyster sampler. Conch Republic Seafood Company- Lobster Bisque soup was out of this world. Also tried the mahi mahi and it was incredible! Blue Heaven- great breakfast even better lunch I say. I had a shrimp sandwich it was abosulty amazing! the key lime pie was yummy a huge! El meson de pepe- (cuban food)very yummy the skirt steak was super tender and very flavorful! We absolutely loved every minute of our honeymoon in Key West,FL we cannot wait to return!

We spent 3 nights in this adorable unit. Definitely small, but very cozy. Great place for showering and sleeping while enjoying such a fun town. Perfect for couples who want an authentic Key West experience. The bikes were great, and biking to Ft. Zachary state park from the unit was one of the highlights of the trip. Excellent water pressure in the bathroom, and great rain head shower. Easy walk to all the main Key West sites and tourist spots. Loved all of the owner's meal time and happy hour suggestions. Easy off street parking and quiet neighborhood. Owner sent security deposit back super fast after checkout, and all his instructions and directions were super easy to follow. Great place, great owner , we love this unit and can't wait to come back to Key West!!!!

Ken is a awesome host. He is quick to answer all questions and offer a local perspective on the area. Room was small but clean and has just about everything you could need. Free bikes are a great perk although you can walk just about everywhere. This is a really affordable way to see Key West!

I just concluded a ten day stay at the Galleria, Studio #5 with my elderly Mother on a wonderful Mother/daughter trip. The condo was excellently equipped with everything you'd need. Room was freshly painted, clean, with nice linens and bedding. The room is small but very adequately furnished and the layout is very accomodating, The outdoors was extremely "elderly friendly" with only ONE step to access the quarters AND a wrap around porch & railing with ramps extending completely around the entire house. The courtyard and decks are funished with several nice chairs and chaises, as well as umbrella and table. Brand new hi-end washer and dryer open to the outdoor spaces. This place is in walking dstance to everything, including the beaches. I had a retal car but used it only with my Mother. I walked and biked everywhere. (The bikes are a ADDED PLUS). Very friendly and quiet neighborhood...no late night noise at all...ONLY the beautiful & exotic famous Key West roosters with your very own "wake up" crowing. this accomodation is excellent if you want to travel on a budget and be in close proximity to all of Olde Town Key West.

Great place for the cost. Has everything you need. Makes a cozy base from which to explore Key West. The bikes expand your range, but you are within walking distance of all the famous sites. And Ken provides ample info if you are new to the area. I will say that the room is small, but the bed is comfortable, the shower is great, especially for Key West, and there is ample storage space, a small fridge, a small microwave, a coffeemaker, small sink and stovetop. Makes a great place to sleep and clean-up, which was what we were looking for.

Perfect for two people just needing a place to hang your hat. We walked to Duvall Street every day and saved from having to deal with parking space. Nice patio out back with privacy.

This place was great, just as advertised. Small, clean, and affordable. It is located within walking distance of everything on Duval that you might want to see. The bikes were great, we made good use of them. The owner had great recommendations for things to do around town and was very helpful. The damage deposit was returned promptly. I would stay there again and would recommend it to others!

Great central location. Small but perfect size for our intent. Bikes very convenient, nice addition. We used coupons, booklet gave us some advice/touristy ideas. Wish it had a dvd player. Not fair to charge a cleaning fee. Should be included in deciding price. We didn't trash it, hotels never charge. Not many places to park in the area when busy. Overall had a very enjoyable time!
