We loved our stay at Ella's! The location was perfect, our room was beautiful and clean, the breakfast basket was way better than we imagined it would be. Having parking on site was great, the property is vibey in an awesome secret garden sort of way. Will absolutely return when we come back to Key West!

Great accommodation in excellent location

Fantastic property, ideally placed to access all that Key West has to offer. Breakfast baskets were fantastic and the room was large with plenty of storage.
Nicola, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay at Ella’s Cottages was amazing. We felt so pampered! Breakfast baskets, Turkish robes and the staff truly made our accommodations wonderful. Another “perk” was a free transit stop just right there! We will definitely be staying here again! Thank you, Dwight for your hospitality.
James, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was very quaint and the staff was welcoming. The no smoking on property was a pain.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent!
Charles, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The breakfast baskets are spectacular! The rooms are comfy but a little tight for your clothing. There is plenty of outdoor space to sit and relax which makes up for the lack of space in the bedroom.
Elizabeth, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ella’s cottages

This was a great place to stay as it was close to Duval Street but not too close from a noise perspective. The property was well maintained and the rooms large. A great bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. The breakfast was a hamper supplied to your room and offered a variety of food. The only negative I can say about Ella’s would be the price as it was very expensive!!
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Ella’s was incredible! We had a nice stay in Key West. Excellent location, comfortable and stylish rooms, nice pool area with relaxed atmosphere, and a great breakfast basket to start the day. Dwight made us feel extremely welcome and was the perfect host to make our stay extra special.
Perry, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely loved the breakfast baskets. The pool are was inviting and always just a moment away from a nice cup of coffee or tea. Staff was courteous, gracious and accommodating. Ella’s cottages were a delightful spot for our trip to Key West. We I’ll definitely book again. I
