Key West Bed and Breakfast

May is a Great Time for Charter Fishing in Key West

Winter is the high season for visitors to Key West, and why not.  It’s cold elsewhere and people need to get away.  Key West is the perfect sub-tropical paradise that combines convenience with total escape from the real world.  Easy to get to, it’s just a couple hours’ drive from Miami or Fort Lauderdale International Airports, or you can fly directly into Key West International Airport.  Of course some of the nicest places to stay are at Key West Bed & Breakfasts, where hospitality, charm, and special perks make your stay extra special.

If you’re looking for a Key West Bed and Breakfast deal, then consider visiting after April 3o.  May 1 begins the second shoulder season, with peak rates found from the Christmas season through February.  The shoulder season, from mid February through the end of April, is cheaper, while the “second shoulder season” during the month of May and also the month of November.  Off season is summertime through September, when it’s hotter here and hurricane season is in full swing.

Key West Bed and Breakfast establishments often discount the month of May up to $60 off the peak price.  May is nice weather in Key West:  less windy than earlier months, but still not as hot as summertime.  In May, visitors can go Tarpon fishing, since it’s tarpon season.  They can also go snorkeling on the reef, scuba diving, or any other water sports Key West is famous for.  It’s warmer out there on the water so it’s even more fun!

Garden House Bed and Breakfast is a casual, relaxing Key West B&B located on the north side of Old Town, near the Ferry Terminal.  There are 10 guest rooms, each with private bath, tropical decor, and a very casual feel that speaks to the casual traveler in search of clean rooms, good location, and nothing too fancy.  This is not a luxury level Key West B&B, but rather a fun, casual, clean accommodation with reasonable prices.

Featuring nightly happy hour and breakfast every morning, Garden House Bed and Breakfast will be your home away from home as you explore the island of Key West and the surrounding ocean waters.  Explore Historic Seaport, which is only two blocks away, and also get water sports tours and boat rentals from here as well.  Free beer and wine from 5pm to 6 pm every night will get you started on your nightlife, which may include at least one time experiencing the Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square.  Get there on bicycles which you can rent from the B&B itself.

Breakfast is served poolside, every morning for a two hour span and the gardens around the pool make for a wonderful way to start your day in Paradise!

The Grand Guesthouse B&B is a former boarding house for cigar workers in the late 1800s and turn of the century.  Far removed from its humble beginnings, this Key West B&B is now a cozy retreat with lush gardens and clean, tidy rooms.   As Key West B&Bs go, this one is just a tad more moderately priced and the decor is suitable but by no stretch of the imagination luxury level.  Amenities abound, however, and you’ll find everything you need at The Grand Guesthouse B&B, including concierge service and certification as a Green Lodging facility.

The Grand Guesthouse B&B is found at 1116 Grinnell Street, which is a central Old Town location, close to everything.  Walk to laundry facilities, shopping, dining, beaches, and nightlife from here, or rent a bicycle to get around faster.  A Key West B&B since 1998, The Grand Guesthouse B&B features a staff with extensive local knowledge and connections to watersports tours, bicycle and moped rentals, and anything else you’ll need for your relaxing Key West vacation.

For historic charm and local flavor, The Popular House in Old Town fits the bill perfectly.  Built in  1898, this Key West B&B is listed on the National Historic Register as the William Russell House.  It’s on William Street, which is a lovely shaded part of Old Town, which is the most popular area in Key West.

The Popular House offers more than just historic charm and a great location, however.  Guests in any of the eight rooms will be delighted to find each morning a beautiful complimentary breakfast fit for a king.  And in the evening or whenever they need a break, guests can relax in the living room, exquisitely decorated in Caribbean island style.

Decoration isn’t really the correct word for the way Popular House is arranged.  There’s local art everywhere, and the owner has amazing taste.  It’s comfy and relaxed while also managing to be elegant and crisp at the same time.

That’s not all guests at the Popular House will find delightful:  prices are reasonable!  Not only that, but they have a special mini room for single travelers, which fits only one person.  Where have you ever seen that before?
