I really enjoyed the breakfast area, and the complimentary mimosa and continental breakfast with coffee. It was very tasty and the breakfast area is really cute. We had a small room that was just the perfect size for me and my sister. Exactly what we needed. The staff was all great and nice and helpfu. l my new place to stay whenever I go back to Key West

Leslie United States of America

Location was excellent. We also liked the look and decor, it fit what I expected of old Key West. The complimentary breakfast was perfect. House and the lady working the front desk made us comfortable and feel welcome.

Tony United States of America

Caribbean house is in a great location in downtown Key West. This is walking distance to everything (restaurants, shops, the marina, the beach next to Fort Taylor which had excellent snorkeling, the aquarium and Mallory square). Their rooms are very comfortable, with pretty decor. Our favourite part was the continental breakfast served every morning on their patio. There was a lovely variety of options and you could tell that a lot of thought and effort was put into it. We will absolutely stay here again.

Company info

Caribbean House Unpretentious Yet Extraordinary Your hosts, Dave & Marcia Zensinger, are relatively new owners of Caribbean House Key West but are no strangers to Inn keeping. Their journey started in 1999 at the Key West's Washington Street Inn, a 10 room guesthouse converted from long-term housing, to a motel, to a lovely B&B. Both Marcia & Dave had corporate careers in Healthcare- Marcia in Operations and Dave in Finance, which made them perfectly suited as partners in a B&B. With long hours and lots of hard work, they transformed this business and two others into friendly, affordable, well appointed accommodations. They added services and amenities that enhanced the experience. And in the process, they made many, many wonderful friends. In addition to redecorating rooms and sculpting the lush landscaping, they added a sumptuous expanded continental breakfast that guests raved about. All of this and more is in the works for the new Caribbean House. We hope you will join us on our journey.

Property info

The Caribbean House is a charming and unique Bed and Breakfast located in Bahama Village Key West. Our location in the heart of Old Town Key West, along with our unusually reasonable prices earns us the title of the “Best accommodations at the best price in Key West.” ​
