Beautiful stay in central Key West
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!

Brothers bachelor party
Don’t judge book by its cover! Had more than enough space for 9 of us friends and family to stay the weekend. Location is a prime! 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 definitely know a place after this one! Thank you again James!

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!

Perfect location and very comfortable home
Our group of 8 had room to spare and a very enjoyable 2-night stay. The home was SPOTLESS. It is a historical home so if you can’t get your head around that stay elsewhere. We loved it.

Everything about this place exceeded expectations. The check in was easy and they even let us store our luggage before our check in to make everything more conducive. The house is better than advertised, within walking distance to all the bars and restaurants.

Awesome stay in Key West
We had 10 friends staying in the William Skelton Home this past weekend and the home was perfect. Our hosts were helpful and accommodating in letting us store luggage there on our arrival. The house is so close to so much of the action of Key West and yet it's quiet and peaceful when you're back at the home. It's a special place to stay and perfect for large groups.

Amazingly quaint, historic Key West stay
The property was very clean. The house felt beautifully rustic and historic. It was only one block from Duval and just steps away from almost all the action. Snugged between two bed and breakfasts, it is an amazing place for a large group for family to stay.

Beautiful large house in a perfect location
I booked this house for a group of 10 adults in town to celebrate my birthday and it was great for us. Everything looked even nicer in person than in the photos. We loved the pool and patio. There are a lot of distinct common areas, so if one person needed to be on a work call or something they could be in the back sunroom while others were in the upstairs living room, etc. Was very comfortable for us and we enjoyed our stay a lot, hope we can come back sometime!
