Wonderful little compound. Loved our bungalow. Cute pool area, great ice machine, AC was nice and cold. Excellent location! We got a text late morning that our room would be ready whenever we arrived, which was an unexpected and very welcomed surprise. Will definitely stay again!

Located in the heart of the walkable Duval Street we loved the location. And the tiny little pool is a gem in their back garden… a great place for a pleasant dip after walking/biking all day. The Rum Bar across the street was a bonus too!

I’m sitting here right now on my terrace and am almost lost for words. 57 countries, countless hotels from 2* to 6* and this is definitely in the top five I’ve ever stayed at. The serenity, the calm, the beauty, it’s fantastic beyond words. Wonderful Maria checked me in and I was lucky enough to get a room far superior to what I’d expercted - or ordered - for which I’m most grateful. It’s huge, it’s stylish, it smells amazing, it’s clean beyond perfection and is just a wonderful space. I didn’t know what to expect as I’ve only been here once before and just for a day trip, but I’m more than delighted to be staying at this little piece of paradise. Just WOW!

I really liked the room, our balcony, and the center grounds area around the small but nice pool. Coffee in room was horrible, not the correct supplies for coffee pot. Coffee that was by the pool was like drinking dish water.

Our stay here was great! The condo was very clean and had everything we were looking for. It is literally 20 steps from Duval St. The hosts were very attentive and helped you as much as possible. The room was very spacious, had a kitchen with a stove, microwave, and fridge. It had everything you needed to cook if you wanted to. We will be back and would love to stay here again. Highly recommend this place if you are going to come to KEY WEST.

The staff were super friendly and the room and property was very nice. The only complaint I have is they allow smoking outside the rooms and by the pool. Every time I left the room the people next to us were outside smoking. And there were 2 guys that stayed at the pool from sunup to sundown smoking by the pool so i was only able to use it for a little while after the sun was already set.

This place is a hidden gem! It's on a side street right next to Duval St, but it's so quiet and serene, it feels a world away from the commotion. We were upgraded to a king suite, and the second floor space felt like we were in the treetops. The room was appointed with lovely, eclectic furnishings and a very comfortable bed. I can't wait to stay here again!

Firstly, the staff was impressive, very caring, accomodating and genuinely concerned about our satisfaction. The grounds are pretty and the pool is so relaxing with wonderful soft music playing in the background. They offer complimentary tea and coffee poolside which was nice but not Starbucks quality (if you are particular). We stayed in the Cuban room and it was awesome having a bona fide 2 level condo and full kitchen. However, I have to rate the overall stay as 'good' due to the cockroach issue. I am very realistic in that this is an island and cockroaches are abundant but it was distrubing to see so many especially when we turned the light on at night. The staff promptly addressed and had maintenance spray which helped a little. For that reason, I really commend the staff as they didnt 'make excuses' but offered a solution. I would recommend the Douglas House as it was super convenient to all shops/restaurants and included free parking.
