I vaguely remembered reading about the Cypress House on TripAdvisor, but am not usually a B & B fan, so had originally booked at a chain hotel on the outskirts of town. When we arrived in Key West, there was a "Vacancy" sign hanging, so we took a look, on a whim, booked a room and cancelled the other reservation. The cost of our room was not much more than the chain hotel and we had such a unique experience.
This is a really well-located, well-kept and well-run B & B. As others have mentioned, the entire staff does a great job, efficient and truly friendly, without being fawning. The small courtyard/pool area is a great respite/escape. The Happy Hour/hors d'ouerves time was a delightful surprise. Our room was lovely and comfortable. Yes, there are roosters sounding off in the morning outside.. but that got us going earlier, with more time to have fun! Plus, the breakfasts were delicious, and the courtyard/pool was such a lovely place to take in the morning, I would have been disappointed to have slept in and missed it...
An added bonus, the staff is quite knowledgable about activities in town and can sell discounted tickets as well as advice which outfits are the best ones to patronize,
