Luda, Louise, and Jeff were so friendly and helpful to us from when we first arrived to when we left. It was a great location and we enjoyed our stay. we parked our car and didn’t have to move it until we left.
Posing in front of the Inn Great time!!

Very clean. Good location. Overpriced though I understand the business model. Once reservations have been made, no changes allowed so be careful about that.

The Porch is a well taken care of property and the location is good. It was easy to get around Old Key West for the location. The room was small and the bathroom was small but everything was updated and very clean. The person running the Porch was very nice and very helpful.

When I checked in, I discovered that the property was the same one we stayed at 5 years ago under a different name. It was good then, but a tremendous improvement. Jeff did a great job making the rooms aesthetically and functionally comfortable, while maintaining that 19th century charm.

I really enjoyed my stay at this cute Inn. Louise made check in and check out a breeze and even provided some great spots to check out. I was in a solo trip and felt safe the entire time and was able to walk to all the fun

Our room was utterly charming. We appreciated the thoughtful touches like prettily folded towels, soft music playing on the tv and ample fridge space for snacks and drinks.
