This is the second time I have stayed at the IH and still admit it is very nice. The beds are extremely comfortable, room and grounds were clean, and staff goes out of their way to make it nice. Bartenders Eric and Bartek are not only adorably hot but make great drinks. ALL of the front desk personnel is wonderful.... more

This is a great venue but you need to understand it is not for everyone - but it is what you make it ! Rooms expensive and small but they make up in quality and service. Food was excellent - miss my breakfasts already as was front desk friendlyness ! more

I had seen ads for the Island House online, and read some reviews, but I was skeptical about trying it since it's quite a trip down to Key West from NY. I finally decided to give it a go once one of my friends told me he had been there and loved it. I stayed for four nights, and all... more

I have been vacationing at the Island House for several years and have always enjoyed my stays. The property (although nothing approaching four star) is very nice and clean for a gay American resort. The staff isn’t rude by any means, but not what I would consider overly accommodating either. The food, pool and friendly atmosphere are great. You must... more

The room may have been small, a bit pricey, but the view of the hot tub was fantastic! Our only regret is only being there for a few days midweek. The bed and pillows were amazing, the staff top notch. We hope to go back in June for a short weekend during the off season. more

This was my third stay at the Island House in as many years. Once again, I really enjoyed it. My room was cleaned everyday and always clean towels were left when I needed them. Restaurant is fabulous. The guest house staff and restaurant staff cannot do enough to make your stay enjoyable. Looking forward to my next stay in November... more

This place does have great service and I did like the on site restaurant very much - HOWEVER what ruined what should have been a great experience was the room. I paid $250 a night for a room that was no bigger than a postage stamp. Literally there was no room for my luggage and it was dark. I'm not... more

Myself/Partner and friend spent two days/nights here at the end of three week trip. Culmination of two week trip to Fort Lauderdale. I guess different people look for different things, but this is NOT the place for us. If you are happy with elderly/young/fat/thin men walking around the bar/restaurant areas with their sunburnt tackle on display then you will fit... more

Island House seduced me... Quaint and charming Island House is a relaxing oasis of pleasure for the senses; both tactile and taste. The staff was accommodating. The food far superior to most on-property guest houses, and both staff and fellow guests were warm and welcoming. While some rooms tend to be small, others are very comfortable and well appointed.
