Perfect!
Absolutely the best spot if you want to be close to Duval. The staff are fantastic, the beds comfy and breakfast and happy hour are a very nice perk. We loved the soak pool at night. We’ll be back! Just a note- we stayed in the Sun Room and the stairs are steep. Didn’t bother us but it might be a challenge for some.

Most memorable stay
Memorable stay at the Artist House in Key West. From the moment stepping inside, the place is special. Every room has its own design and layout, and feels extra special. The house has a warm and special character. The location near Duval Street, ports, beaches is ideal. Jessica was extremely helpful in finding good tour boat activities and helping us get settled in. She's very friendly. The complimentary breakfast and happy hour each day offered wonderful choices. The only drawback is having to search for your own limited free parking spots on streets a few blocks away, but that's the case for everyone in Key West. We travel often and stay in a few dozen hotels/nights each year in many states/countries, and sometimes we search for a top memorable stay. This will be remembered as one of our most special, ideal and memorable stays anywhere.

If its available- BOOK IT!
One of my favorite places i've ever stayed. Staff was incredibly friendly. The house is STUNNING. So charming and full of detail. Our room, the Anne suite, was darling. Everything was clean and comfortable. The Artist House clearly values fine details such as beautiful decor, upscale tea and teacups, and a dreamy bath tub. Breakfast was delicious and the bagels were fresh and soft. Anything you needed could be found downstairs from first aid to a snack or drink. The dipping pool was perfect after a hot day walking around. Our room did not filter noise very well on the weekend night, but Artist house provided a noise machine and earplugs! I would stay here again and again.

Fabulous B&B! We stayed in the spacious Anne suite. Hosts were all welcoming and gracious. Breakfast was amazing. Cute courtyard. Nothing at all bad about this stay. Would definitely do again. You get so much more than a bland ‘ole cookie cutter hotel. And if that wasn’t enough, the location is great too! Easy to get to shopping, dining, bars, boats, & beach 4 thumbs way up ❤️

Never stayed in a B&B before so this stay gave me a good impression on what a bed and breakfast is like. Beds were quite comfortable, we stayed in the Turret Suite. The decor was exquisite and detailed. Parking was an issue, however we used this APP SpotAngel and showed us 2 small strip that offered free parking. This B&B is in a lm excellent location and walkable to all of Duval St. The ladies at the check-in were wonderfully friendly. -Jimmy
Response from JGB on 27 Dec 2022
Jimmy, Thank you for taking the time to post your vacation review of The Artist House. We appreciate your kind words about our “comfortable” beds, “wonderfully friendly” staff, “exquisite” decor and “excellent” location. As you mentioned, we are smack dab in the heart of Old Town Key West. While this gives us a spectacular location, we do not have on premises parking, because our home and Old Town was built before the advent of the automobile. While this is inconvenient, there are many parking options within a block or two of our home and I promise you that once parked, you will never see your car during your entire vacation. Key West is best seen by foot or bike and a car is nothing but an inconvenience once one arrives in town. In regard to your first B&B experience, thank you. While we are sort of a hybrid between a B&B and a historic guesthouse, we do offer a complimentary European style continental breakfast each and every morning. Unlike some New England traditional B&B’s, we offer the quaint historic home and decor but allow our guests to serve themselves rather than be tied down to a scheduled breakfast seating. So, thank you again for your kind words and patronage. We hope to see you back soon.

Overall this property is nice. The decor is very traditional. The ceilings are high and the room is spacious. The staff are really helpful. But the house is old and not well insulated so you can hear everything that goes on outside your room and on the street. Also although Expedia stated that there is free parking within 250 feet but that is not true. Street parking will cost you about $40 a day but there is a parking lot nearby which is about $20 per day. Expedia needs to update their website to provide more accurate information.

Response from JGB on 16 Dec 2022
Karina, Thank you for taking the time to review The Artist House. Yes, you are exactly correct regarding the insulation. Our historic guesthouse was built in 1890, before the advent of air conditioning, and these old Conch homes were purposely built without insulation to allow cross breezes and ventilation. With that history comes the drawbacks of noise and higher electric bills. For those guests who prefer the more predictable vacation stays, there are plenty of wonderful modern built hotels in Key West. For those who love the authentic step back in time, we just may be up your alley. As for parking, ditto. Our home was built before the advent of the automobile. As such, we do not have on premises parking but usually can find a spot within a block or two of our home. We also have a loading/unloading spot right in front of the house. As for Expedia, I am not sure the reason they may have faulty information on their site. We always encourage our guests to go on line to our official site, browse the pictures and even call to assure we provide the best room that fits your individual needs. So thank you again for your patronage. We hope to see you back soon.

Absolutely enjoyed our stay at The Artist House. Although we arrived after hours, the owners left us an envelope with instructions, and the email with information was helpful, too! I enjoyed the continental breakfast each day, the wading pool was fun each evening, and we enjoyed the private balcony from our room. We stayed in the Turret Suite, which sleeps 4, has two full sized bathrooms (a walk in shower with double shower heads, and a claw foot rub from the 1800s (took full advantage of both). The beds were immensely comfortable, and the seating area was a nice place to hang out and drink champagne. We also met the owners on our last day, and they were a delight! As our first b&b experience, we couldn’t have made a better choice!

Lori, Yes, Old Town Key West was built long before the automobile. On street parking can usually be found within a couple of blocks from our home. Also, there are a few parking garages around town that we send to our guests upon booking a room. As you point out, there is no need to have a car in Key West. Our home is in the heart of the action and one can walk or ride a bike to everything anyone would want to do in town.

We just stayed one night since we decided to fly in a day early and couldn't add a night on to the resort where we were staying at the rest of the week. We would absolutely stay here again! Very reasonably priced compared to a lot of other places in Key West. Decorated so cute for Christmas! Very easy walk to Duval Street.

We do try to offer a high end product at a very reasonable price. Our staff is second to none and the Artist House experience has resulted in guests returning over and over again.

Artist House is AMAZING ! I had no idea when I booked my stay, that it was where Robert the Doll lived. I love this kind of stuff . The place was beautiful & totally clean!. Everyone there was like family and felt like crying when we had to leave. We loved the free happy hour at 4:00 and sat in the dipping pool with our drinks/snacks. Free Fresh cooked breakfast was delicious & hot. They had bikes to rent cheaply. And we borrowed beach chairs & umbrellas there. We will always stay here if we come back to Key West !
