Jane and I arrived in Key West for our 3 day break and, after a very short stroll from the Ferry Terminal, found ourselves enfolded in the genuine warmth of Christina's welcome, and a glass of excellent Merlot! The Knowles House is a delightful, beautifully appointed period hostelry, a world apart from those impersonal giant Chain Hotels. Christina is the... More

We only stayed at Knowles House for one night and wished we'd had a lot more time there. Christina made us feel right at home and made several great recommendations for restaurants and must-see items given our short time there. The location was perfect as others have said - close enough to Duval but without any noise issues and within... More

We have just returned from a wonderful trip to the Keys and thoroughly enjoyed our first stay at Knowles House. From the moment we arrived until we left (far too few!) days later, Christina provided us with the kind of warm, genuine service and first-rate advice that make you feel as if you have an old and very dear friend...

Thank you so much for the great review! I have to say, you two really know how to have fun. With so much to see & do, I think you soaked up as much Key West as possible to do in 3 days. Thanks so much for mentioning the short walk to the seaport, filled with great places to eat,... More

Made our first stay at the Knowles House April 27 - 30 and will not stay at any other B&B in Key West! Les, Paul, and Christina are fantastic!! This place has all the conveniences of home....and then some! The location is terrific...far enough away from Duval, but certainly close enough to everything. The rooms are clean, spacious, most comfortable... More

Thank you so much you two for the fabulous review! We really enjoyed meeting you. Thanks for mentioning a great night's sleep...it's the original Swedish Tempurpedic memory foam mattress that we have in most of our rooms. And yes, the sun deck is great for sunning during the day and relaxing while viewing the stars. Having you as our guests... More

Rode down to KW on the bikes so naturally we were concerned about parking, nobody wants to leave their bikes in "street parking". Very graciously we were allowed to park on site right outside our room. Many thanks for that! I forget which room we were in but it was the add on room in front with two doors. Two... More

My husband and I have stayed in at least 6 or 7 B+Bs in Key West but have not found a place we would return to. That is until we checked into the Knowles House in mid April. The home was built in the 1860's and has been beautifully restored, added on to and maintained by the owners, Les and... More

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Out of all the B&B's in Key West, we are so happy you chose us and we must say, it was our absolute pleasure having you as our guests. You have just given us the highest compliment any Innkeeper would possibly receive, not only by referring to us as your home away... More

Our only complaint is we wish we had more time to stay at Knowles House! The location is perfect, quiet and away from the noise yet close enough to walk to the restaurants, water, and trolley. We parked the car a half block away and did not move it until we left. The room was cheery and clean and had... More

My wife and I had Key West on our bucket list and happened upon Knowles House for accommodations. We loved it! Les, an owner, said our room would be small. It was that but done very nicely, and more than enough space for us. We BOTH agreed it was our best night's sleep on the trip. Breakfast was very pleasant... More

We traveled by ferry to KW in April of 2012. The Knowles House is conveniently 2 blocks from the ferry terminal, 5 blocks from Duval and a close starting point to catch the City View Trolley and start the harbor view walk. When we walked the neighborhood and up to their door we were impressed with how quiet and peaceful... More
