• • Concierge.com Recommendation: "The free-form pool and outdoor bar are ideal for an after-hours swim and mojito, and the complimentary breakfast buffet stars Key lime beignets and extra-large muffins."

• • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "Guest rooms are resplendent, with hardwood floors, brass and iron beds, marble bathrooms, Aveda products, and a sense of serenity that words can't describe. Winding brick pathways leading to secluded seating areas in the private gardens make for an idyllic getaway that's the quintessence of paradise."

• Ambrosia

• • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "Fantastic service, bolstered by the philosophy that it's better to have high occupancy than high rates, explains why Ambrosia has a 90% year-round occupancy -- a record in seasonal Key West."

• • Lonely Planet Selection: "If you're looking for a romantic getaway, ask for the Honeymoon Suite. While that may evoke crazy visions of tulle, lace and general girliness, it's actually rather tasteful and has a Jacuzzi tub.

• La Pensione Inn

• • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "This classic B&B, located in a stunning 1891 home, is a total charmer. The comfortable rooms all have air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and king-size beds. Many also have French doors opening onto spacious verandas."

• • Lonely Planet Selection: "Rooms aren't particularly lavish, but they're nice, and you can't beat the location. You also get parking, a pool, wi-fi, breakfast - and a genuinely relaxing atmosphere."

• Westwinds Inn

• • Frommer's Highly Recommended: "Lush landscaping keeps the place extremely private and secluded; at times, you'll feel as if you're alone. Two pools, one heated in winter, are offset by alcoves, fountains, and the well-maintained whitewashed inn, which is actually composed of five separate buildings

• Azul Key West

• • Lonely Planet Selection: "A serene, spa-like atmosphere is the trademark of this contemporary B&B. It's all very light and airy, and also thoroughly modern, from the amenities to the minimalist furnishings to the stylish bathrooms."

• • TripAdvisor 4.5 Rating (Note: Community rating; may change)

• • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "It's got almost everything you could want, including a very moderate price tag. Proprietor Elizabeth Rose goes out of her way to provide any and all services for her appreciative guests. All units have private bathrooms, air-conditioning, and private entrances."

• Southernmost Point Guest House

• • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "Every unit comes with fresh flowers, wine, and a full decanter of sherry. Mona Santiago, the kind, laid-back owner, provides chairs and towels for the beach, which is just a block away."

• Angelina Guest House

• • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "This former bordello and gambling hall turned youth-hostel-type guesthouse is about the cheapest in town -- and it's conveniently located near a hot hippie restaurant called Blue Heaven. Though the neighborhood is definitely urban, it's generally safe and full of character."
