About this property

Key Lime Cottage by Brightwild | Pool & Parking!

Summary:
Banana's Foster Guest House is a charming, historic home situated in the heart of Key West. This unique old conch home is located in one of the most desirable areas, just steps away from the historic seaport and downtown. After a day of exploration, you can relax by taking a dip in the shared pool or enjoy a barbecue on the shared patio, where you can also meet other guests. The guest house is divided into six different units, allowing you to reserve one or all of them for your next vacation!

The Space:
Named after locals' and tourists' favorite dessert, the Key Lime Cottage studio has everything you need for a weekend getaway. Views of Caroline street await you and your morning coffee from the second floor shared balcony.

This cozy studio has a king size bed for a good nights sleep, a Keurig coffee maker, mini fridge, microwave and wifi to catch up with family back home. The ensuite private bath has bath shower combo for your comfort.

Guest Access:
Our contactless check-in procedure makes check-in easy. Guests will receive a personalized access code prior to arrival.

The Neighborhood:
Placed perfectly in-between Downtown and the Historic seaport, enjoy attractions like Mallory Square at sunset, Fury’s water adventures for a day at sea, and the Shipwreck and Mel Fisher Maritime Museum for some Key West History.

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, The Banana's Foster Guest House, is steps away from Key Wests most famous bars and kitchens. Food is at your finger tips, local’s favorite restaurants, such as First Flight, Bagatelle and Two Friend’s patio are 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.

Forgot something and or need a quick fix, Shorty’s Market has your last minute necessities for your weekend getaway. Just 2 blocks away you can also find Fausto’s food market for locally sourced groceries.

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!

First Visit to Key West
The location in Old Town was ideal. The unit we stayed in was in an aged building (as many are in that part of town) and could use some serious updating, especially given the high price. By way of example, just entering the property was something of a challenge, with a key pad on a heavy, solid and sticky tall wooden gate that a person literally had to throw a shoulder into in order to open. The "pool" is kind of a joke, as it is basically the size of a medium sized spa and there was absolutely no way anyone could swim in it. It was not heated. We didn't see anyone use it. We had some issues with representations that were made to us about amenities that did not exist in the unit we had. To their credit, the property manager responded quickly when we complained and did what they could by way of financial consideration to rectify the situation. Our room and bath were nice enough for what they were (plenty of towels!), but scouting the area, we realized rather quickly we could have stayed in nicer "historic" accommodations (B & B's) with better amenities for the same money. We've used Vrbo a number of times and in the past were pleased. This is the first time we really had reason to question what we were getting for our money. Prior Vrbo stays were with direct owners and not a mgmt co. with other properties in they area. Aside from all that, we definitely enjoyed Key West. The property manager provided some excellent recommendations for restaurants and activities.

If you want to experience Old Key West this is the place to stay. Clean room, good communication from management, food and fun just down the street in any direction! The best part is that we drove and it has its own dedicated parking spot for our unit which was SO important because parking is hard to find in this section of town. It was loud in the morning and middle of the night. No one can help that…the lawn people use the leaf blower at 7am and then the street sweeping truck comes through at 7:30…you won’t sleep in. Then loud yelling and partying happens all night….sort of what you should expect when you stay on this side of town near the action. It has a cute pool and garden sitting area and a couple of nice deck areas to hang out in. We also brought our dog as they are dog friendly!
