THE GRAND GUESTHOUSE

We chose The Grand Guesthouse because we were looking for a place a bit off the beaten path and didn't want a "resort" atmosphere for our first trip to Key West. We were so pleased with our stay and definitely plan to book here for future visits! The communication beforehand was fast and efficient, we reserved two bicycles to explore the town and other questions answered within a couple of hours. Upon arrival, we walked up a couple of steps of the cutest front porch to the office and were greeted with a friendly smile, checked in, given an overview of the town, offered reservations at certain restaurants, recommendations of fun things to do, and shown our room. We noticed immediately the cleanliness and tasteful decor, and a chilled bottle of wine waiting for us in our room! Our room was the perfect size for the two of us with a mini-fridge, two small bedside tables with drawers, a space to hang clothes and a lovely bathroom and shower...exceptionally clean!! The courtyard is lined with beautiful plants and comfortable seating for coffee and breakfast each morning. I especially loved that the coffee was available all day...for those afternoon pick-me-ups we needed! The breakfast bar included bagels, toast, English muffins, and some homemade muffins and banana bread, fruit, yogurt, juice and coffee/tea. The bike rental was PERFECT for getting around and we had so much fun exploring for two full days. It was nice to stop by to change and grab a towel for the beach, each time being greeted by the amazing staff. Whenever we popped back in we enjoyed visiting with staff and then off for another adventure! We were close enough to all the action of Duval Street yet far enough away to enjoy getting away from it when we were done. I can't express enough how wonderful the staff is...so accommodating, relaxed, kind and helpful. We can't wait to go back!!

We loved the Grand Guesthouse. It's away from the hustle and bustle, but still close enough to walk to most attractions. Breakfast was delicious with homemade pastries - I recommend the banana bread. The staff was also great, especially Janine.

Quiet, clean ,well maintained and super friendly staff

The rooms are very spacious and well decorated and laid out. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Location was great for getting around the island. I will warn the beds are definitely FIRM. I woke up early every morning with aches due to ours. Went away with a dose of Tylenol with my tea and muffin though.

We just had a 7-night stay at The Grand Guesthouse, and it was such an amazing and wonderful place to stay. The location was fantastic - quiet and comfortable. Enough off the beaten path for privacy and quiet, but close enough that the action was never far away. We opted out of a car altogether and instead rented bicycles (right from the Guesthouse), walked, or took a Lyft. The Guesthouse was so easy & so close to get to every where we wanted to be. The room itself was great - we did have a smaller room but it was cozy, comfortable & well-appointed, and super clean. The patio seating area was lovely & it was relaxing to be able to just hang out. This was the perfect place to be our home-base for the week. The breakfast was also really nice. It was not fancy, but it was perfect to be able to grab something in the morning to get us started for the day. The fresh-baked muffins were SO good (The cinnamon crumb muffins were the BEST) and there was plenty of variety for a light breakfast (and coffee/hot tea all day was great for us!). Lastly, but certainly not least...You will be hard-pressed to find better service ANYWHERE. Friendly, helpful, extremely knowledgeable about anything you need to know about the area, these folks are the BEST. They gave us great suggestions and really anticipated all of our needs. I would recommend this b&b to anyone and would definitely stay here again when we return to Key West!
