About this property
KeyLime Cottage | Banana's Foster Guesthouse
Summary:
Banana's Foster Guest House is a charming historic conch home in the heart of Key West, just steps from the historic seaport and downtown. After a day of exploring, relax in the shared pool or enjoy a barbecue on the patio, perfect for connecting with other guests. Divided into six individual units, the guest house offers flexibility for both solo stays or group bookings, making it ideal for your next Key West 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 check-in to enter the unit.
The Neighborhood:
Perfectly situated between Downtown and the Historic Seaport, this location puts you close to all the best of Key West. Enjoy sunset views at Mallory Square, adventure on the water with Fury's tours, or explore Key West history at the Shipwreck and Mel Fisher Maritime Museums.
While the vibrant downtown ambiance brings some noise, the central location makes it an easy and convenient home base for your Key West experience.
Just half a block from Duval Street, Banana's Foster Guest House is steps away from iconic bars and restaurants. Indulge in local favorites such as First Flight, Bagatelle, and Two Friends Patio, all within a five-minute walk. For dessert, Kermit’s Key Lime Pie in the Historic Seaport serves the best Key Lime Pie in town, or you can satisfy your sweet tooth with homemade fudge and candy from River Street Sweets.
If you’re missing something or need a quick fix, Shorty’s Market is just around the corner for your last-minute essentials. For locally sourced groceries, Fausto's Food Market is only two blocks away.
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! In addition to these non-traditional modes of transportation, you can also Uber, Lyft or Taxi to your next destination. Pink Taxi is an easy, reliable and affordable way for getting to your rental from the airport.
