We stayed in the Hemingway Guest House and loved it. It was perfect for 3 of us for several nights. We enjoyed the jacuzzi, the breakfast and the lovely patio. We had breakfast and spent some time in the evenings on the patio. The staff was friendly and helpful. The property is in easy biking distance from all of the Old Town restaurants, bars and attractions. We would love to return to Key West and stay in at The Authors of Key West Guest house again.

Had a lovely stay on our honeymoon. Location was great, close enough to Duval but far enough away in a residential neighborhood so it was quiet. Room was absolutely amazing from the pleasant smell of cleanliness to the AC working perfectly. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the free breakfast was a nice addition! We’re already discussing a return trip!

The staff was amazing and the room very cute. I was participating in a 165-mile bike ride and they worked hard to give me early check in so I could get cleaned up after the ride. When I got to the room a was really pleased with how cute and comfortable it was. All of our group was really impressed with this guesthouse.

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights in October 2024. We were very happy with our cottage and the premises. Service was excellent. Each morning they served a lovely continental breakfast (never a shortage) and the best coffee which was available for most of the day! The only downfall was it wasn’t as close to Duval as we would have liked but only a short Uber away. No complaints and we would definitely recommend booking.
