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…

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.

This is a lovely old building converted into about 8 units. Ours was on second floor (no elevator but didn't bother us) and it had a lovely, large covered balcony with comfortable furniture. Our room was large, with nice furniture. There was no built in closet but there were wall hooks and a corner rod. The bath was modern with a large walk-in shower. Towels and linens were plush. Coffee supplies were provided in the room, with a private ice-maker and small fridge. Coffee was also available downstairs in the office. We are planning to go back later this year.

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.

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.
