Perfect for Large Group Key West Getaways

This was the only option that could accommodate our large group, and it was everything we hoped for.Ample sleeping capacity. Sizable back patio space with a pool. Amazing proximity to Duval street scene and a quick walk to other entertainment.

Great location. Enjoyed pool at end of long day of fishing. Four adult couples with four bathrooms worked great for us. Full confession ... I broke one plastic tumbler cup - before I even had anything to drink! You're welcome to charge me for that.

Amazing - must stay!!!

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!!!

Birthday celebration

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 place for group stays!

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!
