Caribbean House

We stayed here a total of four nights. As one who travels for my job I've stayed at some 200 hotels/yr so my review would be not only about our stay but in comparison to the thousands of hotels over the last twenty years...
Let me say that check-in was the fastest I've ever had and that's because the process starts with a secured area by a six foot fenced and locked gate. You get a passcode texted and instructions on your room. On the room. Door are your keys and the finishing touches for your paperwork are awaiting you in your room. Just complete a few lines and return the sheet to a drop box.
There are staff on site for any needs
Next the room is the smallest I've ever stayed in and that's saying something. Smaller then some I've stayed in while staying in NY, Barcelona, Toyoko, and other locations abroad. However the room was very clean, had a very comfortable queen size bed with six pillows that were also very comfortable. There was a tall dresser with 5 drawers, a mini fridge, night stand tables on both ends, a ceiling fan, and a window unit air conditioner that had no shortage of extremely cold air to offer.
The bathroom was furnished with a pedestal sink, round bowl toilet and standup shower the size of a broom closet.
My only drawback was the water pressure but it was understandable due to the small area of the shower, otherwise you would have water outside the bathroom and in the living area.

They do offer breakfast with the stay but it doesn't start until 8:30 and we're already several hours into our day by then.

I'm a little late on this review but I wanted to be sure I wrote one anyway because I was so impressed with this place!

My friend and I stayed here a couple weekends ago for four nights. I was hesitant to book simply due to the amount of "rules" on their website. It just felt like a place that was going to charge me extra when I checked out because I breathed too loudly one of the nights. We booked anyway, and I am glad we did!

The rooms were small, but they all are in Key West. If you want something big, go to Miami. I saw a few reviews talk about the temperature of the rooms- we did not have an issue! It took us the first night to find the sweet spot of the window AC unit where we weren't too cold but weren't too hot, but once we did it was smooth sailing! Our room was clean and the bathroom was well-stocked.

My biggest pleasant surprise was the complimentary breakfast! I expected basic toast and coffee, but there were quite a few options, from breakfast sandwiches to fresh fruit cups to yogurt to bagels. And let's not forget the free mimosas! Even their coffee bar was stocked with flavor syrups so you could enjoy your vacation coffee rather than choking down bad brew with powdered creamer.

Service here was simply wonderful. We received a call the day we were arriving with all of the details of how to access our room (we came in late so nobody would be in the office). Throughout our stay, they were attentive to our every need, and it was nice to walk past the office and see a friendly face instead of a random desk clerk who clearly hates their job. We ended up renting some bikes from them (a great amenity I might add!) and realized that we did not have cash to rent them. They kindly let us take the bikes for the day and return the next day with cash for the rental! You just won't get that level of service at most places!

Overall, I loved our stay at Caribbean House and would gladly return again! If you're considering booking here, DO IT!

I understand there is a cancellation policy, but I booked through hotels.com and on all third party websites it says children are allowed. I sent them proof and they just still refuse a refund. what an awful hotel. Then they called hours later to tell me we could stay if my kids quiet? LOL

OUR ROOM SMELLED LIKE SEWAGE WATER OUR ENTIRE THREE DAY STAY! The odor was terrible the day we checked in and we did our best to try and push through. When the smell got worse the second day we brought it to the attention of Caribbean house staff and they told us they already knew about the smell and that it was seeping through the walls into their front office. We didn't understand why they didn't address this with us the first day or why we weren't given options. They attempted to dump bleach down our toilet but that didn't work. We were forced to go buy our own air fresheners in an attempt to manage the odor since we had no other options. Today, when we checked out, we believed there might be some compensation. We were told by staff there was nothing they could do and to come back next year and hope things would be better. What was even more disappointing was that we have stayed here the past couple years and have brought family and friends to this establishment. Hotel staff said it was noted in their system we were regular guests but would still do nothing. In the end, the manager never reached out to us or spoke with us at all. Not even a simple apology. We will NEVER be back and do not wish this type of service on anyone! DO NOT STAY HERE!!

Truly excellent. Kind staff, perfect walkable location right off Duval and across from Blue Heaven. You can walk everywhere in town practically outside of the airport. And on top of that, it's one of the best deals in town. Guaranteed, I'll stay here again.

WOW! We are not easily impressed. And we are absolutely impressed. Prime location, really hopin' neighborhood. But we never once heard the road noise. The bed is very comfortable, room is extremely clean, such thoughtful attention to details. The breakfast is excellent, in the most adorable hidden area. The decor is so tastefully chosen to really give us the Key West feel we desired. Parking was easy to arrange and use. The staff, Mary really went out of her way to make us feel like family!
If you are searching for a place in Key West look no further. This will not disappoint, it will impress you!

Really cute place. We had the Dominica Room #4. The rooms are very small but we were literally only in it to sleep and get ready. For about half the cost of everywhere else, It is worth the money. Great location. Not too far from Duval St. 10 min walk to the southernmost point. We rented bikes from them which was super easy and convenient for $15 for a full 24 hours. Our bed was made and towels refreshed every day. We were also surprised how quiet it was when we slept.

We stayed in the Antigua Room. It was the typical size Key West room. Very clean, window a/c worked great, fridge in the room is nice & breakfast area right by the room. No issues staying here. HIGHLY recommend paying for their parking if you need to park a vehicle. Its convenient & way cheaper than paying for other city parking.

Just left Caribbean House after a two night stay, first time in Key West. We stayed in Dominica, the room was small and cozy (bathroom especially tight). It had everything we needed, it was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were amazing, I loved having a place to park (have to reserve a spot ahead of time and of course pay for it nightly). Continental breakfast every morning with a good selection of items to choose from. Caribbean House is close to Duval Street and Mallory Square. We were able to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go. I would definitely stay there again without hesitation.

Traveling "solo" on a Mom-cation to Key West for the first visit, I can't say enough how impressed I was with The Caribbean House B&B.
The rooms all have cute Caribbean names, and are total Caribbean vibe decorated. The rooms were cozy, but very well kept and clean.
There's free wi-fi, and the rooms offer cable, ceiling fans and window unit A/C.
My room was on the bottom floor around the back, which I was a little worried at first with security from the street. I was relieved to see the property was enclosed by a fence and had two security gates that could only be opened by your key. In my back corner there was only one other room and a perfect outdoor leisure area with comfy chairs and padded benches. I spent a few minutes out there every day with my coffee and a few hours at night over drinks with newly made friends in the room next to me.
The top floor has a wrap around porch with outdoor seating and on the backside it overlooks the garden grounds of a cute, older apartment complex where the palm trees offer privacy but you can enjoy hearing the water fountain of the apartments courtyard. That'll be my next room to stay in!!
Breakfast is your typical light breakfast fare. A spread of pastries, bagels, hard boiled eggs, cereal, granola, yogurt, and fresh fruit. Coffee, tea and mimosas are included. Once breakfast is cleared the outdoor dining area is a perfect and quiet place to eat anything you've chosen to take back to the room to eat, or to sit and have a cold soda. Sodas are available in the fridge out on said dining area with an honor system.
Location is FABULOUS!! Right across the street is an upscale southern dining resteraunt that was once an hold KW home. Amazing food! Right next door is Johnsons Grocery. Perfect for grabbing a single beer and the best homemade conch salad on the island to eat lunch on the patio or porch at the Caribbean House. The owners of Johnsons Grocery are an older couple and I enjoyed many wonderful conversations with them when I'd pop in for something. Across the corner is Blue Heaven... fun spirited place with the best Shrimp and Grits served with a side of warm banana bread.
You're only minutes from Duval, less than a 10 min walk, and you're located in the old Bahama Village. Evident by the architecture of the homes on this side of town. In the blink of an eye you can walk to Ernest Hemmingways house or the Key West Lighthouse. There's also Blue Macaw within a blink. A fabulous place to eat with tropical vines, often live music, a Bloody Mary bar to make one yourself or have the bartenders make you the BEST one ever!
If you're up for the beach, Ft Zachary Taylor state park is a short walk away. You can pick up a beach towel to use at the front office of the inn.
There's bicycles to rent as well. I split my days between the bike and walking. The bikes are 15 the first day, and 10 a day after.
The staff is amazingly friendly and felt like family when I left. I had many a laughs with them, all are wonderful people with a great cohesive working relationship which you can see that they aren't just coworkers but family as well.
I will def be back and look forwards to staying again at The Caribbean House and seeing everyone's smiling faces and sharing laughter with them every morning!
