The Porch on Frances

“We'd never been to Key West and weren't sure where to stay. I diverted from my usual booking site with known names and took a flyer on this local place with their own website, and I'm glad I did. We got the Panama Suite. The room was nice and big, well appointed, very comfortable, and we had our own street entrance. Felt like home while we were there. Staff was friendly and helpful before we got there and checking in/out was effortless. It was close enough to the old part of town that we just parked the car when we got there and walked everywhere till we left a couple days later. The only down side was parking. There was a space available when we got there, right outside our door, so that wasn't an issue, but it was the only one and I think we just got lucky that it wasn't an issue. And we discovered a good reason why it may have been empty. The chickens roost in the palm above the spot and wowzers, did I ever have a mess to clean up when we left.”

“We stayed here for 10 days about three weeks ago, and it was an absolutely comfortable and enjoyable experience. The room was very clean and cool, with comfort amenities both indoors and outdoors. The location was perfect for us — maybe five or six blocks from Duval Street — close enough to enjoy the action, but far enough away to appreciate the peace and quiet. We did a fair amount of walking, but we enjoyed every step of it. The neighborhood was beautiful and wonderfully quiet. The staff were incredibly helpful, and management was accessible whenever I needed to call. Parking was easy as well, since I coordinated it with management ahead of time and had no problems. There were plenty of restaurants within walking distance, and overall, we really can’t say enough good things about the place. We would definitely stay here again.”

“We loved staying here. The location is perfect. Close enough to walk everywhere, as long as you’re able to walk for 15 to 20 minutes or so, but far enough away that it’s very peaceful. The inn is surrounded by gorgeous homes and I loved walking up and down the streets to see them. Our room was just as described. It was small, but absolutely beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. We loved having the upstairs veranda for morning coffee and afternoon drinks. I would absolutely stay here again.”

“Highlights: Overall, great quiet location. Clean, accommodating, nice amenities. Would absolutely recommend you stay here! Beautifully restored, clean and welcoming. We loved the small touches this place offered. Dehumidifier in the room, a fan, nice ac unit, filtered water downstairs and complimentary coffee and adult beverages. Would definitely return, will probably return. The only caveat was waking up to construction in the morning. I think they were wrapping up the construction when we were leaving, however.”

“We had a magnificent stay at the Porch on Frances! Prior to arriving, Allison was very helpful in planning a special birthday trip where I had flowers pre-delivered and they helped set up a birthday banner in our room! The location is perfect and within walking distance to all the restaurants and sites and bonus points as a great location to run to the beach from! We would definitely stay here again on our next Key West trip.”

“Loved it! Absolutely the best place we’ve ever stayed at! Clean, lovely, great service. My husband and I loved our large bedroom and huge veranda! The location can’t be beaten! We found street parking parking without a problem. I can’t wait to go back!”

“Everything was awesome! Go and you will see. Met with Allison at front desk after she called to welcome us before we arrived and met with the owner too. Both were so very kind and very helpful. Quietness away from Duval Street. Room was so very nice and clean. Surroundings very nice and quaint as well. Was such a blessing!”
