We really enjoyed staying here. Our room was lovely, a bit cozy, and convenient. We liked the little table and chairs but we are small people. Bigger people would feel cramped. It has old school, southern charm. We enjoy the small pool and garden, next to our room, and also the small swimming pool across the street. We rented bike... More

This is an average b & b in a good location, on quiet street but close to the action. Is not as nice as pictures suggest, quite dated, linens very worn. Breakfast is below average, more like a cheap hotel than b & b. Not sure how to compare value as we've not stayed in Key West before, but would... More

Our room was perfectly fine. The property and rooms are a bit dated, but were cute with wicker furniture, etc, and we were comfortable. We stayed in the Ibis room which I believe is the King room. To categorize Island Oasis as a Bed and Breakfast is a bit misleading. The website says "Scrumptious complimentary tropical breakfast buffet served every... More

My wife and I liked this property. The guy running the place pulled out a map and gave us a rundown of the places to go(and not go) on the island. The location is perfect, right near the South end of Duval St., for walking to bars and restaurants. It's not incredibly new or chic, but it was clean and... More

The first clues that this property has been left too long without upkeep are when you go across the street to its sister property to register. Shutters there are coming apart and falling off the windows. Worn out rattan furniture unravels by the pool. Then back at An Island Oasis, the dated carpet in the stairwell is so crusted with...

The rooms are clean and have a small kitchenette. The decor is dated and the comforters need some updating. If you are like me you probably won't sleep without thinking about how clean the bed is... I had time to sleep because is just asking my self if they clean comforters as customers check out... If that doesn't bother you... More

We booked their BEST unit (Pelican Cottage) at slightly over $250/nt with tax - and what a shock! Crudely patched and painted ceiling walls; worn out bedspread; uncontrollable hot water (scalding hot, then cold); bad smell/no exhaust fan; cramped space (too small for king bed); no heat/marginal ac; front door damaged (been pryed open) - with gap to let in...

This place is not worth the price. I love bed and breakfasts and I've been to less expensive ones that had great value, but this is not one of them. It has a great location, however not really if u want to go to the beach. My friend's asthma only got extremely bad in the room. It never really cooled... More
