We loved our stay at Ella's! The location was perfect, our room was beautiful and clean, the breakfast basket was way better than we imagined it would be. Having parking on site was great, the property is vibey in an awesome secret garden sort of way. Will absolutely return when we come back to Key West!

Our stay at Ella’s Cottages was amazing. We felt so pampered! Breakfast baskets, Turkish robes and the staff truly made our accommodations wonderful. Another “perk” was a free transit stop just right there! We will definitely be staying here again! Thank you, Dwight for your hospitality.

The breakfast baskets are spectacular! The rooms are comfy but a little tight for your clothing. There is plenty of outdoor space to sit and relax which makes up for the lack of space in the bedroom.

Service was excellent at every encounter. Breakfast was very European and I loved the fact it came in a basket so we could enjoy on the porch. The bed was real comfortable. My only recommendation is at least one chair with a full back w arms for older people who need assistancein getting up & down.

Ella's is a lovely, centrally-located property. It's far enough from Duval to be quiet and tranquil but still easy to walk to restaurants, bars, shopping, and the docks. The picnic breakfast each day was absolutely wonderful, and the pool and kitchen areas were great for me to have space to work and relax while there. Dewight and Michael took excellent care of me, and I will absolutely book here again and recommend to others.
