This page represents my personal opinion with regard to the perceived value received on the dollars spent in these accommodations. I receive absolutely no re numeration or other 'perks' from any establishments listed here.

Received the Editor's Choice Award from Out & About. Super accommodations with every amenity. Quiet luxurious grounds. Somewhat pricey.

Directly on the Ocean and just a half block off Duval Street, the Atlantic Shores Resort is a Key West tradition. 71 rooms surrounded by manicured landscaping and the world famous pool area built atop the crystalline waters of the Atlantic Ocean are just two of the varied features this Art Deco resort showcases.

A huge old Victorian-style mansion in the center of most of Key West's Gay Guest houses located on Fleming Street. A large variety of rooms, from sumptuous to tiny, a hearty breakfast, plenty of lounge area by the pool.

Curry House is the oldest and probably the finest gay guest house in Key West. An elegant old home with every amenity. An unusual black tiled pool in the rear and complimentary wine and snacks at happy hour. Costly but worth every penny!

This is a really large complex, the biggest gay guest house in Key West, with the largest pool adjacent to the cafe. there's a hot tub, communal showers reminiscent of the old bathhouses, a video lounge complete with rolls of paper towels, condoms and ashtrays. (Don't want to burn the carpeting that's all over the place.) and under the new management, the rooms are all getting a needed make over. I've seen some of the new rooms and they are very well done.
Island House is our headquarters for ShipWreck V, May 1998.

Right downtown, one block from Duval on Whitehead Street, this is a popular hangout for the younger guys. Great cafe right next to the clothing optional pool. A wonderful place for lunch! Food and views! There's also a gym here. A great staff and excellent private grounds.

Just at the edge of Key West Seaport, this lush jungle has a great pool area to laze the day away in the nude. And the sexy attendants serve you at cocktail hour at the gazebo bar.

Just recently remodeled from a Conch mansion, this is a very elegant small B&B for the discriminating gay man or couple. There are only four units, so privacy is assured.

Though a few blocks further than most guest houses from 'Downtown', this 9 room bed and breakfast is popular with the nudist set and leather men too. Very quaint, it was once the Station Master's house before the Overseas Railroad was destroyed by a hurricane in 1935. Heated pool, outdoor gym, video lounge.

A luxurious old gay guest house on United Street, a half block off Duval and 2 blocks from the Atlantic Shores.Great pool area, clean airy rooms.And a great hot tub!

Very secluded, in the heart of Key West, just 3 blocks from all the action. Cocktails by the pool at tea time. This place is well liked and has many repeat guests.

Click Map for a much larger one. Compare the number on the map to the listing above to find the location of the Guest house. Note that Duval is our Main Street in the Heart of Old Town. Truman Avenue goes from Eisenhower to Whitehead and White Street is the border between Old Town and New Town. Also, gays are fairly safe in Key West, but I wouldn't venture past Whitehead going away from Duval after Sunset. I also never venture past about the 1 Saloon heading toward Malory Square, except for daytime shopping or sightseeing or the Sunset Celebration. The reason being: it's Redneck City down there. I hope this helps you.
