We absolutely love Ella’s Cottages. Micheal at the front desk was very helpful before we arrived with great directions and convenient parking arrangements. That made our check in a simple breeze. The accommodations were beautiful. The bathroom was wonderful as was the spacious bedroom, comfortable bed and the relaxing living room. The breakfast area was terrific and full of health options and exactly what we had hoped for. Late afternoon tea was a joy including the scrumptious biscotti! Dwight and cottage staff were cordial and friendly and we will be back next year and even hope to visit again mid season for a weekend. Thank you!

Tropical Oasis!
Ella's its such a cute, little oasis within walking distance of all you need. We had such a great experience. The breakfast and tea time are such a great touch. Miss Dina is a delight and very attentive. We'll definitely be staying at Ella's again on our future Key West visit.

Definitely going back. Perfect home away from home
I loved my stay at Ella's. I was solo and stayed in the City King. The room would be tight for two people, but for one, it's perfect. No dresser, no desk, but a chair and a bench and a hanging rack. Breakfast each day was lovely, enjoyed poolside, or in the dining room. Fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries, lox. Tea time was also a nice touch. Pool area was great, plenty of shade. A/C and fans made the room comfortable. Robe was lightweight. Nice shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion--no need to back those. An easy one block walk off of Duval.

Wonderful Oasis
Everything about our stay was fabulous! The property is charming and welcoming. Our room was spacious and stayed blessedly cool the whole time. The staff was so helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was lovely and the afternoon tea was a perfect midday break from the heat. The location was perfect-central to everything and just a block from Duval, but somehow still felt quiet and secluded. We hated to leave after 4 wonderful nights. We will absolutely stay here again when we return to Key West!

Great place to stay!!
My husband and I stayed here for an anniversary trip. We had a nice king room at the end of the building with a large patio. We enjoyed the breakfast and afternoon tea and the welcome drink was a nice surprise! The pool area was nice and we enjoyed relaxing by the pool when we weren't out exploring Key West. The hotel is only a block or so from Duval but the property is so quiet and relaxing you would never know it. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to visit Key West! We would definitely return!
Beautiful large shaded patio!!
