    Excellent location walkable to all our favorite places. The kids loved the pool. Plenty of towels for all of us. We were three families so each family had a floor. Highly recommend this place.

    This really is a terrific property. The location is outstanding, walkable to everything we wanted to do in key west. Perfect number of beds and bedrooms for our three families (5 adults and 5 teenagers). Everyone had space to hang out alone or with others. Kitchen was stocked enough to make Thanksgiving dinner (mostly reheating things from Fausto’s). We needed a cookie sheet and the manager dropped one on the porch for us, very helpful. We enjoyed the pool and back patio. Used the laundry machines (outside in the shed and the lighting wasn’t the best but we appreciated having clean clothes). Kids enjoyed the board games. We could hear some music from Duval and the roosters in the morning but nothing that bothered us too much. Would stay again!

    Our stay in the house was perfect for the size of our group. The check-in process was easy, the kitchen seemed to have everything needed to cook dinners, our group did not cook. Coffee was provided which was our fuel for the day. The location of the house was perfect, perhaps a minute walk off Duval street. We walked everywhere, including to Fort Zachary Tyler state park which was about a 1.5 miles from the house. The backyard with the pool was our sanctuary for the hot afternoons, floats were provided which made it easy to float and relax along with plenty of pool towels that were provided.We had a great time and would stay here again!

    The house was great with plenty of room for all 14 of us on our trip! It had a wide variety of things we might need from pool towels to garbage bags to garlic powder. It was clean and organized and the host's communication was great. We had a couple questions throughout the trip and they answered very quickly and were very helpful. The house is also in a very good location we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. 100% would recommend this house to any large group of people going on vacation in Key West.

    I stayed here for my bachelorette party with 10 friends. This property was PERFECT! It fit all of us with plenty of room (and even some beds weren’t used!). The backyard was perfect for sitting by the pool during the day and having dinner at night. The garbage disposal did break during our stay and the property manager sent someone over immediately and had it fixed that afternoon. It was so walkable to Duval St and all the fun night life. You just stay here if you come to key west!!!

    We had a blast. The location was fantastic. The house fit our group perfectly. Big enough for folks to have some privacy/space but comfortable enough to hang out as a group. Super clean. Being steps away from the action was so key. I am hesitant to give an awesome review because I want to be able to book this place again!

    The William Skelton house is a terrific property. We had a bunch of couples and the house was perfectly located from the fun on Duval street, the marina area and some great restaurants and bars a few minutes away from the stuff of Duval. The property owners were great with answering questions and this property is highly recommended.

    Great stay in this historic property. We had lots of room for 10. Everyone enjoyed the heated pool - which is really more of a hot tub. It was especially enjoyed by the youngest in our group. Great location to enjoy Duval Street and the rest of Key West. The parking is very narrow but will fit two cars. You just have to move the first one to get the second one out.

    Beautifully furnished historic home in central Key West! We travelled with whole family: grandparents, parents and kiddos (teens). All together there was 9 of us and we fit very comfortably in the home, with lots of room to give each other space. Two large living rooms, large kitchen (with plenty of starter coffee), and plenty of kitchen items. Very close to Duval, we could walk or take golf carts anywhere in Key West! The host was VERY responsive and kind. Was easy to find and coordinate arrival. I can’t rave about this place enough - would love to stay there again if we ever come back!

Even though it may look old on the outside it is so clean and well maintained. If anyone mentions they need a place to stay in the keys for a group or a large family.

    I hosted a reading retreat for my book club of 16 women at the William Skelton Home. It was the perfect place for us. There was plenty of space for us to spread out and read, plenty of seating for us to spend time together, and a short walk to Duval Street! We really enjoyed the serenity of the private pool too!
