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!

Sweet little hotel
This was a nice little hotel on a side street off of Duval. The room was small but clean and had had all amenities except a broken coffee pot. However, there was coffee available by the pool. A good value!

The Douglas House served as a perfect home base while in Key West. The location allows for easy access to all Duval has to offer. Really enjoyed being able to hear the national anthem being played every morning at 8 from the Navy base..

I had a wonderful stay at Douglas House! The place is spotless, well-maintained, and perfectly located—everything is within walking distance, which made exploring so convenient. The highlight of my stay was the exceptional customer service from Jose at the front desk. He was incredibly kind, friendly, and responsible. He even called to check in on me when I was running late and provided fantastic recommendations for food and sightseeing. His attention to detail and genuine care made me feel welcome and valued. I highly recommend Douglas House to anyone visiting the area. It’s a gem!
