We had a BLAST! Everything that we wanted to do was in walking distance. Sarah Beth’s is right across the street …….we had some great food there and the service was top notch. Our room had lots of space and was spotless! The bed slept as well my bed at home. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.
This is our new favorite place to stay in Key West! The room was very spacious, there was a de-humidifier which was a godsend, the bed was gloriously comfortable, and the shower was hot with plenty of water pressure.

Reviewer Comments:
The inn and room itself were very comfortable. However, the location is at in intersection and near a busy fire station. Every night we were awoken by multiple fire truck sirens, loud scooters, loud car exhausts and excessive street noise. It is not a very peaceful location for sleeping.
Great combination of old, traditional building with clean, modern amenities

We had such an amazing time visiting Key West staying at the Scarlet Mango. The entire process from checking in to departure was seamless. The host was quick responding to messages too which was great. The location cannot be beat. The property is gorgeous and so peaceful but at the same time in just a minutes walk you can be down in the action of Duval St etc. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Our stay was exceptional from start to finish. The bed may have been the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in — truly next level. The host was responsive and helpful with every question we had, which made everything seamless.We especially enjoyed the balconies and the pool. While the pool is on the smaller side, it was more than spacious enough for us and a handful of other guests. The water temperature was perfect — warm enough to relax in, yet cool enough to refresh us after long days in the Key West heat.The location couldn’t have been better. It’s just steps from Duval Street, yet tucked away enough to offer a peaceful break from the noise when you’re ready to recharge before your next adventure.One thing to note: there’s no elevator, so carrying a heavy suitcase upstairs can be a bit of a workout. That said, it was absolutely worth it.We would gladly stay here again and again.
Scarlet Mango was an absolutely fantastic place to stay. It was close enough to Duval, but was quiet at night. The room itself was absolutely luxurious, furniture was super comfortable and it was beautifully appointed. It was truly our own little oasis in Key West. Our innkeepers were very communicative and responsive. We will definitely be staying here again.

We were so happy with our stay at the Scarlet Mango Inn. The property felt even better in person than in the photos, and the photos are very nice. The location was terrific, being near (but not on) Duval, and allowed us to explore the island very well on foot.
Wonderful property and location, with all main attractions easily walkable. Street noise was a little loud in the mornings but otherwise excellent stay.
This property is immaculate, from the porches to the pool area, everything is polished to a Keys shine!

So, this was so easy! check-in chec-out, best location, Scarlet was roomy, clean, great pool area. Wonderful eating establishments within easy walking distance. If we go back to KW, we will stay in Scarlet suite@Mango! We have been to KW maybe 15 times. Loved this place!
The Inn was centrally located we parked the car when we arrived and didn’t have to drive the rest of our trip. The property manager was quick to respond to any questions we had, and the room/building was exceptionally clean. We cannot wait to stay again.
Absolutely loved the Scarlet room! Walked to everything we wanted to see and really enjoyed getting back each evening to “our place.” Highly recommend and will plan to stay here again in the future.
