The best place in Key West

Ellas cottage does not disappoint. It’s such a cute and beautiful place. The room was perfect and super clean, the bed was so comfortable. I wanted to steal their pillows but I didn’t, so don’t worry. Every morning they bring you a breakfast basket to your room at your desired time. It has bagels, cheese and other lovely breakfast items in there. It’s such a cute and great way to wake up. Last but not least, Dwight in the reception is the highlight at Ella’s cottage and it wouldn’t be the same without him, may they protect him at all cost. Thank you for making our stay unforgettable from start to finish.

Quaint, lovely, and enjoyable place to stay

This place is adorable! The location is good (walking distance to Duval Street). Surrounded by trees making it very private. I especially liked the ice/water machine being central to all the cottages. The cottages are older but very well maintained. No central air, but window units that kept the room cool. The only real downfall is there is no storage in the bathroom. Shelves should be placed above the toilet to keep your toiletries off the floor. A continental breakfast was delivered to you room each morning. If you want a "hearty" breakfast you will need to walk about 6 blocks to Blue Heaven which had the best fried potatoes I have ever had. All in all our stay at Ella's Cottages was a wonderful experience. Would stay there again if we get back to Key West.

A great place to stay! 2 blocks off Duval Street, so a lot of shopping and dining options are within walking distance. All staff members we dealt with were so polite and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
