Awesome stay with great service.
Michael, 2-night trip

Very clean & beautiful updated bathrooms
Juliana, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Very clean. Good location. Overpriced though I understand the business model. Once reservations have been made, no changes allowed so be careful about that.
Vinod, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Jeff and staff are super! they treat you like friends and family! accommodations are excellent, homey, clean, well maintained and comfortable.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our room was nicely furnished, and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony. Very peaceful. Prooerty is about .6 miles from the center of old Key West and the nightlife. It's an easy walk from the property, and we appreciated being able to have a quiet place to rest and sleep.
Suzanne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was wonderful. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, and we could walk to wherever we needed to go. We would definitely stay here again.
Kristy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location

The Porch is a well taken care of property and the location is good. It was easy to get around Old Key West for the location. The room was small and the bathroom was small but everything was updated and very clean. The person running the Porch was very nice and very helpful.
Sheryl, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay in Key West. Would definitely book again.

Steep stairs

The second level requires climbing steep stairs with suitcases. The hotel is very clean and manager saved parking place for me. Friendly staff.
Robert, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly and helpful host Louise. Perfect advance infos how to get into the house. Nice and very clean and spacious room (we had #3). All in all we where very happy with our choice. Only negative point would be the noise from the street. House lies direct on a street crossing.

I really enjoyed my stay at this cute Inn. Louise made check in and check out a breeze and even provided some great spots to check out. I was in a solo trip and felt safe the entire time and was able to walk to all the fun

I would stay here again. Everything was beautiful.
JUDY, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

When I checked in, I discovered that the property was the same one we stayed at 5 years ago under a different name. It was good then, but a tremendous improvement. Jeff did a great job making the rooms aesthetically and functionally comfortable, while maintaining that 19th century charm.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent stay! Room is/was great! Location great! Easy and efficient check in - hands on service prior to arrival.
Brian, 1-night trip

Our room was utterly charming. We appreciated the thoughtful touches like prettily folded towels, soft music playing on the tv and ample fridge space for snacks and drinks.

Great location, easy access to town centre, the hire bikes were particularly helpful.

10/10 Exceptional
