Our stay here was wonderful! The suite is located near the beautiful garden and has a private patio area. Inside you will find everything you need, including coffee, which we enjoyed each morning out on the patio. Our host, Vlad, was very helpful and responded quickly to any question. We have visited Key West multiple times, and this is by far our favorite place to stay! We will return!

This property is more than a safe bet! Clean, spacious, great location. The host is very helpful, and the unit is stocked with all you need for your stay. Central AC was great, filtered water throughout the suite, bed was very comfortable, many outlet options for charging, bathroom was clean and modern. We are high-maintenance DINKS, and would happily stay here again in the future. Great location - 3 short blocks from Duval and the docks (Cuban Coffee Queen!).

Suite 16 at The Island City House was a magical experience for our 30th wedding anniversary! After a long day of travel, the cozy mattress and luxurious bedding created the perfect sleep environment. The grounds are gorgeous and we loved the private porch for morning coffee and evening cocktails. We had lunch at the Waterfront Brewery and dinner at Fogarty’s and the Flying Monkeys Saloon, both within walking distance. We also appreciated the good host communication with excellent instructions about parking. Our stay was too short to enjoy all the amenities but we can’t wait to come back another time!
Gorgeous property grounds.
Perfect spot for morning coffee.
