Our stay at M&A was very comfortable and we had everything that we needed and more to make it so.

The staff was extremely friendly. We were able to get into our room early on the day of arrival. The location was perfect for our needs and very comfortable.

The ceiling in our Treetop room was a little bit of a challenge but it did not detract from the overall feel of the property.

One of bed B&B we have ever stayed in.

Grounds filled with well manicured foliage. Manager couldn’t have been more embracing. Outdoor hot tub. Great breakfast.

Slightly away from downtown.

Beautiful old Victorian style share house

Very nice old Victorian home with plenty of character. great location in centre of town

I didn’t realise it was a share house but rooms were very separate and secure so enjoyed the experience. I arrived at 5:50pm and found door locked and a note saying staff leave at 6. Then saw staff leaving and she just said ‘read the letter for instructions’ and left

An excellent place to unwind and relax in a serene and holistic environment.

The property got a calm, clean and a holistic serenity. It offered a healthy breakfast and other food and drink supplies with mindfulness for the health and wellness.

The carpet on the staircase to treetop room was unclean and perhaps in need of change

Great staff, great service and wonderful stay! Highly recommend!!

Loved the room and the plunge pool. Breakfast was wonderful! Very clean and cool inside which was great a scorching Key West! Very accessible to very thing!

There was nothing we didn’t like except the rooster which isn’t the inn’s responsibility!! LOL

Great find, great location, pricey.

Unique B&B in the heart of downtown KW. Close to everything!

A bit on the pricey side (>$600) especially for FL residents during the off-season (post-Easter) - also, no military discount offered for active duty personnel or retirees during the NAS KW Airshow weekend.

Our stay was great other than what was listed above

We like everything there, except for what you’re getting ready to read below

For happy hour they advertise drinks and hors d’oeuvres from 4 to 5. There was no drinks or hors d’oeuvres. They had wine which we love, but they could have had a better brand of wine, other than Sutter home and the hors d’oeuvres were, Doritos corn chips, or a pack of planters peanuts. I believe they call that snacks not hors d’oeuvres. maybe replace those with a charcuterie board. And I think their bicycles should be complementary to their guest instead of costing $20 each to rent.

Cozy and romantic stay in the center of Key West

Good location, nice overall atmosphere of the structure and garden. The room was cozy and very clean. Really enjoyed the happy hour with wine and snacks

Definitely needs some improvement for the price. Room on the smaller size, could use a mini fridge. The pool is nice but always dirty due to trees and plants, could use a net to help clean up (even by guests).

I loved Key West.

Facility

They confiscate your car keys. Then leave all keys in a bowl in the kitchen. I can only imagine the assumed liability in case of theft or misuse. The worst part is that there was no description of this policy prior to booking.

Beautifullly updated property with lots of ammenities. The Caribbean Queen was my room and I would definitely be excit

The property was immaculately clean and looked like something from a magazine! The room was comfortable and well appointed and there were makeup removers available in the bathroom. the balcony was large and comfortable and the walk out doors were heavenly! The back porch/yard area were lush and shaded and perfect for our delicious breakfast!

I don’t like feather pillows as I’m allergic but that seems nitpicks to even mention as the rest of the property was superb!

Relaxing and Private Stay

Absolutely wonderful! Beautiful property! The breakfasts were delicious, plus snacks and wine for happy hour were a wonderful surprise. The pool was surprisingly large and had jets. We stayed in the bamboo room which had a private patio which was fabulous to relax and drink coffee on. I would highly recommend to anyone!

The bike rentals were more expensive than other rents nearby so we ended up going elsewhere for less. Also the parking is double parked so you might end up with someone blocking you in, in which you would have to move their car. Wasn’t a huge deal because most of the time we biked or walked to wherever we needed to go!

our room was a beautiful, private place to recharge.

great room and decor. we loved the French doors to the patio area which was interesting, beautiful, peaceful, private and just a wonderful place to hang out when we had free time.

naturally, I would have loved the property to be closer to Duval.

Great location, comfortable bed, excellent staff! Definitely recommend!

this is my first experience staying in a B&B. I loved that it was very centrally located so you could walk a lot of places, the staff was very nice, the breakfast provided was excellent. The bed was comfortable, our room had a really nice tub… The only thing I will say that was negative was how hot it got in the room. We had the tree top room, which is on the third floor. And it was the middle of summer in Florida. Lol. There is an AC unit up there, but they should maybe consider getting a second smaller one closer to the bed. Once it was nighttime, it wasn’t bad. And we didn’t spend much time in the room during the day, but when we did, it was a little bit hot. Other than that, I would definitely stay here again!

The room got a little warm during the day
