Great Old Town Location

A hidden gem in Old Town!! The three story William Skelton House is one of the oldest houses on the island built in the 1830’s. This 4 bedroom 3 bath is really charming with its exposed Dade County Pine walls, private porches, and a widow’s walk on the roof with great views of Key West. With its 2 Queen bedrooms, 2 twins in the 3rd bedroom, and private 1st floor queen bedroom, it’s perfect for a group of 8 people. Did we mention the private pool?

The location of this house make your trip the best it can be. It is walking distance to everything worth seeing, including, but certainly not limited to, Mallory Square, Hemingway’s House, Sloppy Joe’s, the Historic Seaport, and enough bars and restaurants to keep you entertained for your entire stay.

Unwelcome groups

We reserve the right to refuse accommodations including bachelor/ette parties and Spring Breakers. We are a small property and are not equipped to service these events. We know first-hand the extent of potential damage even for the "well-behaved" groups regardless of gender. Should we refuse accommodations we do not offer refunds for deposit and outstanding nights.

Inclement weather

We unfortunately do not offer refunds on deposits or unused days for trips cancelled due to bad weather, regardless of a snow storm up north or a hurricane in the south. We strongly suggest using a travel insurance company for a few extra dollars to ensure peace of mind.

Check-in and check-out

Cleaning

Opposed to most vacation home rentals, we do not charge a cleaning fee, although our housekeeping staff ensures a clean home upon check-in. Your house is equipped with basic cleaning supplies for the occassional spill or accident. Please make sure to keep the house reasonably clean to avoid pests and critters that are common to South Florida. You are expected to leave the property without damage, dirty dishes, or undisposed garbage. Any excess damages may incur additional fees.

Towels and Sheets

We provide our guests with a normal supply of bath towels, hand towels and washcloths. Each bed is made with a complete sheet set. Extra pillows and blankets are available. Beach towels are not available, but you may use the provided bath towels or, better yet, bring your own from home.

You can also inquire at the front desk of the Old Town Manor for “wash and fold” service for a small fee.

Kitchen and bathroom supplies

A Welcome Basket is provided for your first night stay. Included are coffee, teas, sugars, creamers, and breakfast bars. Also provided is a complimentary shampoo/conditioner/soap set. The welcome basket is not refilled during your stay, so feel free to bring your favorite products from home, or shop at the local grocer for supplies.

Miscellaneous

Consumable items may need to be replenished during your stay stay, such as; toilet paper, paper towels, dish washing liquid, laundry detergent, beverages, and food. Feel free to visit the local grocers to stock up on these items.

Clothing and Miscellaneous

Key West is a warm humid tropical climate region. Because we are on an island, temperature tends to be a few degrees cooler than the rest of Florida. Be sure to bring warm-weather clothing, a light jacket or sweater for the cooler evenings, a hat, sunglasses, flip-flops and sneakers and sunscreen. Bring a reuasable water bottle to help minimize trash, and to keep yourself hydrated.
