All staff incredibly pleasant - they do an amazing job maintaining plants on grounds and in room, loved seeing healthy, live plants in the room. Perfect selection for breakfast (thank you for having Philadelphia cream cheese!!) , and while beds creaked with every move the blankets and sheets were so soft and comfortable , everything was clean, pool was adorable, and we were lucky to make friends with other guests- fantastic trip. We did the dinner sunset cruise - highly recommend. And you can never go wrong with duval and Malory square!

The Authors Guest House is the most amazing place we have ever stayed in. The front desk staff were super friendly and helpful. They were also accommodating to our need to check out remotely. The cottage that we were in was super comfy and cozy. Everything was relatively close to the cottage. The most stressful part of Key West is finding parking and even that was made easy for us!

Wonderful little slice of island paradise! The small cottage and property were nice, cozy, and a great price. Nothing fancy or brand new. We stayed in the Williams cottage and loved our own, private porch and a place to cook if we wanted to make our own meals. The property grounds were tropical with lush plants and landscaping and small pool. The property had breakfast in the morning, which was nice to have a quick bite. There was also ice with filtered water available near the office, providing convenience and keeping us hydrated without having to use a lot of water bottles. We would recommend if you’re looking for a cozy, reasonably priced space that provides a quiet, private space.

Booked the Hemingway cottage. Was advertised as having a full size refrigerator- it wasn't. Advertised on site and street parking- 2 spaces on site is what they have. Everything else is street. When we told them there were ants, we were informed that it's the season for them.
