Great place for group stays!

I hosted a reading retreat for my book club of 16 women at the William Skelton Home. It was the perfect place for us. There was plenty of space for us to spread out and read, plenty of seating for us to spend time together, and a short walk to Duval Street! We really enjoyed the serenity of the private pool too!

Birthday celebration

The William Skelton house is a terrific property. We had a bunch of couples and the house was perfectly located from the fun on Duval street, the marina area and some great restaurants and bars a few minutes away from the stuff of Duval. The property owners were great with answering questions and this property is highly recommended.

Amazingly quaint, historic Key West stay

The property was very clean. The house felt beautifully rustic and historic. It was only one block from Duval and just steps away from almost all the action. Snugged between two bed and breakfasts, it is an amazing place for a large group for family to stay.
