Douglas House is in a great location, I stayed across street from main building and the room was very clean and well appointed. Comfortable bed. Room was on 2nd floor, which I knew and hotel confirmed with me as there are no elevators- it was 2 flights (almost 20 steps up) with luggage but worth it for the room and common balcony. Pool area was lovely with lush foliage and sitting areas, nice little pool and complimentary coffee. I would definitely stay here again.

Old homes in historic downtown area are sectioned into individual apartments with deck and porch areas. Nice complex of neighboring homes with a beautiful small pool and garden seating areas. Our apartment was spacious and clean. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Douglas house is a unique property that is a series of older homes converted to rental suites. It has a lovely courtyard in the back of the property with a small pool, lounges and tables. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Room 1 was adequate, but toilet needs an upgrade and towels definitely could be thirstier. Property is very convenient to Duval St. and all points in the old town are walkable from this property. If you want a boutique experience in an older property rather than a big hotel experience, this property is for you.

This is a small hotel right in the center of Key West on a quiet street 1/2 block off of Duval Street, where all the action is. We had the whole 2d floor with private porch overlooking the street. Apartment has a large living room with full kitchen on one side, lovely views East, one bedroom with two beds & good sized bath. Exterior stairs only access. There are various sitting & lounging areas at rear of building with small pool & lovely tropical plantings. Duval Street is Key West’s commercial “Main Street”, which crosses North-South downtown. No need for car rental. Plenty to see: South Beach, small but welcoming, Hemingway House, excellent museum, Lighthouse Museum, Mallory Square sunset gathering nightly, live music, plays at the Waterfront Theater, delicious & varied menus & drinks plus fabulous weather in February - 70-74 degrees daily & sunny. Excellent quiet location and accommodating people at desk. We highly recommend the Douglas House!
