We had such a great experience staying at Ella’s Cottages! The property was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is perfect, close to amazing restaurants, shopping, and everything you’d want to do in Key West, all within walking distance. A huge plus is that they offer onsite parking, which is rare and super convenient in Key West. It made our trip so much easier and stress-free. We truly had a wonderful time here, and I would definitely book again on my next trip. Highly recommend!

Breakfast was nice. Dwight was very personable and had our room ready early for us. The comforter had some stains and they only had what seemed one employee cleaning rooms. The pool was relaxing but wish it was a little bigger. Overall it’s a cute key west boutique hotel I wouldn’t mind staying at again
