About this property

NIGHT WATCH ~ On Duval St, Adult Only, Adjoining Rum Bar & Nearby Beaches!

PICTURESQUE LANDMARK GUESTHOUSE WITH CELEBRATED RUM BAR...
Steeped in the rich 19th century lore of treasure hunts, romantic rum-running adventures, daring bootleggers, and notorious moonshiners and racketeers, the Night Watch room within the Speakeasy Inn is nestled in true Key West magic. This unique conch-style adult-only retreat is brimming with authentic stories of derring-do during Prohibition days. The inn was the home of Raul Vasquez, a cigar selector at the local Gato cigar factory, whose true passion was rum running between Key West and Cuba. He cut a colorful swath in this southernmost community, smuggling rum and storing it in his "secret cellar" - one of the few basements in Key West! You are right on Duval Street, renowned for its proliferation of whimsical art galleries, stellar restaurants and relaxing bars. Nestled in the heart of Old Town, you are only a couple blocks from the beach and the Southernmost Point.
***All guests must be 21 years of age or older as this is an adult only property AND the primary renter must be 25 years of age or older.

DETAILS AND AMENITIES...
On the first floor of the Speakeasy Inn resides the Rum Bar, which boasts an impressive selection of delicious rums from all over the globe. Join us for our rum tastings of both vintage and popular rums. Each guest room offers outdoor seating for its occupants. Amenities in the rooms include flat screen TVs, individually operated ACs, coffee makers, refrigerators, microwaves, and all rooms have private bathrooms with showers.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS...
The Night Watch room is located downstairs and offers a king bed and 1 person sofa sleeper, a stocked kitchenette, a shower bathroom and a hanging closet for your convenience.

OUTDOOR LIVING...
Take in the island air and sip on your frosted cocktail just outside of your room, with semi-private seating. Upstairs features our wraparound porch overlooking Duval Street, a favorite people-watching spot! It has been restored to perfection for the pleasure of our guests.

Disliked: Check-in, communication
Location was great, place was clean, bar and bartenders were excellent. Check-in was awful and what it made it worse was to find out that this has happened many times before. The mgmt company is aware that texts are not received by people with Android yet insists they can somehow fix it if you call them. No they can't. I shouldn't have to track down and call multiple people to get an email with my access code!! I found out from workers that many have similar experiences and complained about it. So, the owner knows as well. Fix it!

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location, cleanliness of the property, and our bar and bartenders. We’re sorry you had difficulty receiving your entry code. Because we are aware that our texts can sometimes be filtered into spam or not delivered, we specifically warn guests about this in three separate communications: the initial confirmation email, a reminder four days before arrival, and again the day before arrival. Each communication clearly states: PLEASE BE AWARE: Our texts often end up in your text spam folder, so please add the innkeeper’s number, 305-407-0779, to your contacts to ensure you receive your entry code. We certainly understand that check-in should be straightforward, which is why we provide these instructions well in advance. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to make the process as seamless as possible.
