I have been visiting Key West for many years (at least once a year, and many times more often), and my choice of place to stay is, and will be the Coconut Grove. This is actually one of three properties making up one "complex", with The Oasis and The Coral Tree being the other two. Staying at any one of these guesthouses gives you access to all three.
One thing I've noticed every time I visit is that there are always repeat customers staying in the complex. To me that speaks volumes. There are also always people who have never been there before, and they always have positive things to say about their experience in the guesthouses.
The location cannot be beat. It is located within walking distance to the main sites and activities in Key West, and a car is not necessary. The rooms are clean, and are cleaned daily. It is a very laid back place, and you can be as social as you want, or you can stay in the periphery and relax on your own. It's up to you. The staff is always available and are always friendly. They create that balance of being available if you need them, and at the same time they respect your space and privacy.
I have nothing but positive to say about the Coconut Grove (Oasis and Coral Tree). My experiences staying at the complex has always been wonderful.
