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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! From being greeted by Tisha to our clean and comfortable room! We stayed in the Huckley room and we were so content and happy! We loved the suggestions for restaurants and activities! We used the bikes for two days to get around town which was so much fun! We can’t wait to come back and visit!

We had a brilliant stay here. It is walking distance from everywhere on the island, but also far enough away from the liveliness of Duval St. The room was spotless, has recently been renovated also so is modern. On street parking right beside the property also. Jeff is a very helpful and communicative host, and has great recommendations for places to eat and what to do. Really delighted with our stay here and hope to return one day soon.

Great stay!

We had a lovely stay at the Porch. Communication was excellent. Rider was great to work with and met us upon arrival to help us find a parking spot. She helped with our bags and took us to our room along with an explanation of how things work. She provided some excellent dining options (Cafe Sole and the Thirsty Mermaid). Our room was quiet and comfortable, and loved our porch. Easy walking distance to Duval and the ferry terminal. Highly recommend as they made us feel welcome.

Back to the Future

I have stayed at the Inn many times over the years, but it was called The Bottle Inn then. I arrived pretty late, but the new owner was there to greet me, check me in, and give me a tour of the place. Clean, comfortable room. Parking was a challenge, as it always is in Old Town. A bit of a walk to Duval Street, but there is a great restaurant across the street, and another two blocks down. I will definitely stay here again.

This is an incredible property… gives you a true Key West experience… the host/owners are super nice and accommodating but not over bearing… the facility is up to date and super clean… not some rubber stamped hotel… it’s unique and quaint… A++++++ If you don’t like this place then you’re not going to like Key West either…
