Nice stay

The property is nice, clean, and comfortable. Three of us stayed in the Williams cabin. One guest used the fold out couch and said it was comfortable enough. The bathroom is off the bedroom so the extra person had to enter the bedroom to access it. The kitchen had basic utensils, etc. The continental breakfast offered enough selections to make all of us happy. It was a nice place for the price.

Loved staying here. The owner greeted us and was super friendly and helpful. The cleaning staff always did a great job. The area is a little further from the Main Street in Key West, but that makes it more quiet and allowed us to relax.
