My wife and I said multiple times that we could just live here. We stayed in the Scarlett suite. We just loved it and hope to come back soon. We were in the pool daily. You can walk anywhere or a cheap uber. We stayed 5 nights but hated to leave. Enjoyed three breakfasts right across the street at Sara Beth’s right across the street, so good. Stay here, you won’t regret it.

We cannot say enough good things about the Scarlett Mango Inn. If you are planning a trip to Key West, stay here!We love to travel and this by far is the cleanest, most comfortable place we have stayed. The entire property, inside and out, is immaculately renovated. The pool was perfect for my husband and I because it had plenty of shade for him and sun for me. They have a cute parlor with ice, water, and coffee that was convenient for refilling water bottles before we headed out to explore Old Town Key West. The Inn is walkable to almost anywhere you want to go. I normally don’t sleep well if I’m not in my own bed, but the bed was cozy and comfortable. I slept great!We will definitely stay here again and will recommend it to others!
We have stayed in many, many places in Key West and this was one of our favorites! In fact, if we can get the same rate we would like to book again in October and maybe May. It was fantastic!
This is our new favorite place to stay in Key West! The room was very spacious, there was a de-humidifier which was a godsend, the bed was gloriously comfortable, and the shower was hot with plenty of water pressure.
This is a beautiful property! I loved my room, it was spacious, well appointed and immaculate. The pool was lovely and private. I made use of the main livingroom area as I had hours to wait between check out and my departure flight. While there are no staff on the premises I always got a quick and courteous response. I will absolutely stay again. My new favorite!
We had a BLAST! Everything that we wanted to do was in walking distance. Sarah Beth’s is right across the street …….we had some great food there and the service was top notch. Our room had lots of space and was spotless! The bed slept as well my bed at home. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.
We really enjoyed our stay and give it our highest ranking. Great location room size was great. We will be back. However; there are a few small things that could be improved. The Sofa and chairs were very uncomfortable to sit on. The fire alarm in the bedroom flashes green all night. These are very small issues to deal with. Again we loved the place
Scarlet Mango was an absolutely fantastic place to stay. It was close enough to Duval, but was quiet at night. The room itself was absolutely luxurious, furniture was super comfortable and it was beautifully appointed. It was truly our own little oasis in Key West. Our innkeepers were very communicative and responsive. We will definitely be staying here again.

We had such an amazing time visiting Key West staying at the Scarlet Mango. The entire process from checking in to departure was seamless. The host was quick responding to messages too which was great. The location cannot be beat. The property is gorgeous and so peaceful but at the same time in just a minutes walk you can be down in the action of Duval St etc. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Reviewer Comments:
The inn and room itself were very comfortable. However, the location is at in intersection and near a busy fire station. Every night we were awoken by multiple fire truck sirens, loud scooters, loud car exhausts and excessive street noise. It is not a very peaceful location for sleeping.
Wonderful property and location, with all main attractions easily walkable. Street noise was a little loud in the mornings but otherwise excellent stay.
Our stay was exceptional from start to finish. The bed may have been the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in — truly next level. The host was responsive and helpful with every question we had, which made everything seamless.We especially enjoyed the balconies and the pool. While the pool is on the smaller side, it was more than spacious enough for us and a handful of other guests. The water temperature was perfect — warm enough to relax in, yet cool enough to refresh us after long days in the Key West heat.The location couldn’t have been better. It’s just steps from Duval Street, yet tucked away enough to offer a peaceful break from the noise when you’re ready to recharge before your next adventure.One thing to note: there’s no elevator, so carrying a heavy suitcase upstairs can be a bit of a workout. That said, it was absolutely worth it.We would gladly stay here again and again.
