Being in the heart of everything does come with noise of downtown, but nonetheless an easy and convenient location to experience all Key West has to offer!

Half a block from Duval Street, Banana's Foster Guest House is steps away from Key West's most famous bars and restaurants. Food is at your finger tips with local favorites, such as First Flight, Bagatelle and Two Friend’s patio, less than a 5 minute walk from your front door. Got a sweet tooth? Keep an eye out for Kermit’s Key Lime pie shop in the Historic Seaport known for the best key lime pie in Key West, or some homemade fudge and candy from River Street Sweets.

Getting Around:
One of the best parts of staying in Key West is how close in proximity you are to everything, this small little 2x4 island offers a variety of ways to get to and from your destination! Don’t feel like walking? Peddle your way to breakfast, or take a bike ride along the water at sunset, by renting from Fury or Island Bicycles who offer both pick up & drop off of bike services! Feel like you’re on island time when you rent from Minty’s where you can enjoy exploring Key West on a scooter or golf cart!

So great!

Location is A+, and the team managing the property were so responsive. We had all of the properties for a group of 7 couples. Decent kitchen facilities, adorable (though small) pool, very comfy beds. But seriously the best part was how responsive and nice the team was. Thank you!! Highly recommend!

Perfect location-great hosts

Location is unbeatable. Great place. What set it apart, however, was how incredibly responsive the hosts were both before and during the stay. I had an answer from them within minutes. That went a long way to make this trip so well worth it. Thanks, hosts!
