Ella's is a lovely, centrally-located property. It's far enough from Duval to be quiet and tranquil but still easy to walk to restaurants, bars, shopping, and the docks. The picnic breakfast each day was absolutely wonderful, and the pool and kitchen areas were great for me to have space to work and relax while there. Dewight and Michael took excellent care of me, and I will absolutely book here again and recommend to others.

Michael and Victoria were great hosts. They went out of their way to make sure we had the best time. I loved the picnic breakfast that was delivered to our room each morning. Anything we needed Michael was right there to help. I would highly recommend Ella's Cottages to anyone going to Key West. We will certainly stay here again next time we are in Key West.

We stayed at Ella’s Cottages over Thanksgiving. We enjoyed our stay here. Their daily breakfast brought to you in a basket was a great way to start the day. The staff was super friendly. The pool area was nice and relaxing. The rooms were clean, bathroom were a little small, could have used more shelf space for your toiletries. Ella’s is a great location for walking to all your favorite locations. We would definitely stay here again.
