Stayed there this summer with my girlfriend, and we loved it. I searched for weeks for the perfect place and certainly found a home at Big Ruby's. The staff was so warm and attentive. Enjoyed the nightly happy hour with free wine and beer. The breakfast was a treat each morning. The room was cleaned top to bottom everyday. The... more

We stayed at Big Ruby's Guesthouse for 7 days between Christmas and New Year's and absolutely loved it. We're not really the guesthouse types, typically we'll stay at a hotel and keep to ourselves. But from the moment we arrived the friendly staff made us feel right at home and the happy hour and breakfast around the pool forced us... more

I have stayed at Big Rubys several times and I have always loved it. I found the staff ,the rooms and the property to be spectacular but I was very disappointed upon arrival to find that the hot tub was out of order and had been so since the 4th of July weekend and to top it off the heated... more

The staff was great with the exception of the manager. The pool was cold and they refused to purchase more gas to heat the pool. To add insult to injury the hot tub was out of order with no plans to repair it in the near future. The rooms were nice and the staff was very friendly. more

I stayed one week. I love the stay, the property is gorgeous. The rooms are comfy and clean. The pool is ok, small and the one problem is they put too much bleach (chlorine) in it. If you are contact-lenses wearer be aware! The breakfast is Ok, I stayed there for one week and after 2 or 3 days, it... more

I just returned from a week stay at Big Rubys. It was my first time to Key West, and was definitely glad I chose a guesthouse away from the madness of Duval St. (but close enough for the fun). The grounds are immaculate, the rooms are cleaned daily, and the staff is helpful and fun. The daily breakfast and happy... more

We just returned from a fabulous weekend at Big Ruby's and loved everything about the place. The staff was fabulous, the rooms and grounds beautiful, and the ambience inviting. This will be our Key West home for future visits more

great hosts, great service, beautiful guest house grounds: pool, hot tub, sun decks, sitting areas, porches, and lounge with great TV; rooms are nice and clean. If you hang out in your room here you are a loser. We met great folks and had a great time and will return. Late breakfast will last you until dinner. more

My partner and I have stayed at Big Ruby's twice. First in July, 2003 and then again in July, 2004. Both times our visits were sheer heaven! The staff was always friendly and helpful. The rooms were always very clean and nicely appointed. The made to order breakfast at poolside has always been excellent. It has ALWAYS been the best... more
