“Excellent Accomodations!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2008

This small, quaint house with 3 rooms each with there own private bath, is a great way to enjoy Key West without breaking the budget. We had one of the two large room upstairs, with comfy Queen bed and fold-away twin bed. Flat Screen tv, coffee maker, fridge, microwave, large bathroom with all amenities provided, we loved the large Bath and Body Works Lotion, and best of all VERY VERY CLEAN!! They also provide small boxes of cereal, and coffee/teas, there is a convienience store across the way for anything you need. Youw ill want to dine out for Bfast(Pepe's or Blue Heaven were great). Becky and Chris, the proprietors, were very outgoing and friendly, and met us at the Inn as we got off the ferry, they live on the first floor, and also run a great cigar/wine shop near Mallory Square. They are extremely knowledgable of the Island, things to do, etc. and so laid back.
There is a cute little patio out back with a grill and and outdoor shower, and a front porch to kick back. Iron, books and magazines, beach towels/mats, floats, lotion are all avaliable. Its about a block off Duval, in a very quiet area(except for the roosters which are all over the island). Only a quick walk 3 blocks to the Southern Most Cafe and Beach(rent a chair for $5), and Southern Most Hotel Pool(excellent upscale pool and bar area $10 for a lounge chair). Bikes, Scooters are just around the corner, walk to lots of great places like La Te Da for a show or Alice's for dinner. They recommended Danger Charters, and it was one of the highlights of our weekend getaway.

“Great and Friendly place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2007

people found this review helpful

This place was great -- Is now called Duval Quarters. It is in an excellent location right off of Duval Street. It is very reasonably priced, considering location and services. They are a small hotel, with just a few rooms. Becky, the manager, was wonderful help with everything from finding a parking spot to recommending all the best local restaurants.

The room was quiet, clean and bright with a private bathroom, TV and coffeemaker. The furnishings were nice and there was plenty of space. We were woken up by the roosters our first night, but I can't imagine how you'd avoid that, since they seem to be all over the island.

Restaurants we tried and thought were great: Banana Cafe, PT's (fish sandwich) and Santiago's Bodega

“Cute Inn”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2006

people found this review helpful

We have stayed at the Abaco Inn three times in the past four years and while it is very cute, I believe it is under new management and not as good as it used to be. It feels like a private home with 3 rooms (2 up and 1 down) all with private baths. It is very quiet and you don't ever see anyone else, there is not a pool but a little courtyard out back where you can sit and read the paper, and drink your coffee, or wine at night.

Like I said the first 2 times were great, but last time I have to say the air conditioner unit didn't work properly and red ants had gotten into the room somehow. Too bad, I hope they fix the problem because we loved staying there in the past! It is kind of a long walk from Mallory Square, it is closer to the Southernmost Point, but you can easily walk eveywhere. You get what you pay for, it is very affordable but not very fancy. There is a convenience store around the corner which is great for grabbing snacks or drinks.

“Abaco Inn not as advertised.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2005

Not at all what I expected. The inn does NOT have the curb appeal that it advertises on its website. And, we felt abandoned after checking in...we didn't get the room we wanted, and trudging up the rickety, teeny-tiny, spiral staircase isn't pleasant.

“Great Little Inn”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2005

people found this review helpful

Thanks Abaco for a wonderful vacation. We stayed at the Abaco Inn 4 nights, and it was a very pleasant. Although the Inn is very small, the room was very comfortable and roomy. The staff was very accommodating and helped whenever they could. GET A BIKE! As is the case for all of Key West, do not bring a car, the Inn only has one parking space (more than other inns that we saw). Get a bike and use taxi service, your life will be much easier. We would definitely stay at the Inn again.
