We had a wonderful stay at Ella’s cottages. The staff were so wonderful. Happy hour at the pool was really fun. The only complaint I have is there was construction right behind our room, but that’s not the hotels fault.

We had such a great experience staying at Ella’s Cottages! The property was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is perfect, close to amazing restaurants, shopping, and everything you’d want to do in Key West, all within walking distance. A huge plus is that they offer onsite parking, which is rare and super convenient in Key West. It made our trip so much easier and stress-free. We truly had a wonderful time here, and I would definitely book again on my next trip. Highly recommend!
