Alexander's Gay Lesbian Guesthouse (Adult Only 21+)

Staying at Alexander’s Guest House is like a wonderful family reunion. The staff is amazing. You seriously miss them after your stay. This includes the manager, concierge staff, breakfast staff, bartenders, and cleaners. The guesthouse is beautiful. The pool/bar area is a central gathering area for the amazing breakfasts and late afternoon drinks. The location is in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood within walking distance from Duval Street and the harbor. I can’t wait to return next December!

I've been a guest at Alexander’s since the guesthouse was opened more than 40 years ago. It was magical then and its even better today. The physical property is spotless; its renewed and improved constantly. And the staff is incredible, many of whom from managers to housekeepers are long term employees. If you're wanting a truly memorable experience in Key West, give Alexander’s a try.

We were fortunate to spend a few nights at Alexander’s Guest House in early December 2024. As first-timers, it was as inviting, inclusive and lovely as we’d hoped! From booking with Tim over the phone in July, to Roman seeing us off on our last evening, hospitality was in peak form at every turn. We found room #12 super comfortable (amenities include in-room safe, iron, hair dryer, Roku TV with pre-set logins for Netflix and Hulu, Keurig, mini fridge, microwave, etc.), and even boasts a Murphy bed to accommodate additional occupants when needed. More great touches include the tiled bathroom with large shower and rainfall shower head, plus remote controlled AC unit and ceiling fans. If I could recommend one change, it would be the addition of blackout curtains for those of us who love pitch black when we sleep. 😉 On property, the vibe was completely chill. The heated pool is great (max depth 5’), with adjoining bar (super great bottle prices — not marked up very much at all), complimentary coffee station, filtered water unit (great for refilling your reusable bottles!), and lots of games/puzzles/cards/books to enjoy at your leisure. Second- and third-floor sun decks offer more relaxation opportunities, with reserved areas for smoking or clothing-optional sunbathing. (We didn’t make use of bike rentals, opting instead to walk, but great to have the availability!) Included breakfast is a terrific provision, and coming together with other resort visitors to dine each morning was one of the high points. Overall, Alexander’s gets top marks for the ease of our stay, the quiet/relaxing nature of the property, and the superb accommodations and hospitality. We felt super welcomed at every turn and can definitely appreciate why so many patrons opt to return time and time again, which we newbies hope to emulate! Thanks to all!

The staff treats you like family! You are free to be yourself and often meet other amazing people who travel. I never want to leave when my vacation time is up and I’ve limited my travels to other places because I can’t wait to come back to Key West. If I weren’t able to get a room at Alexanders Guesthouse I would likely not visit until they had a vacancy. It would be too sad to miss seeing the staff and enjoying time with them!

Staying at Alexander’s Guest House is always a joy! The staff is amazing, the accommodations are super comfy, and the overall vibe is wonderfully relaxing. We’ve been visiting for nearly 15 years and we have made life long friends. The feeling of inclusivity here is phenomenal and is exemplified by the phrase on the staff shirts: LOVE WINS! We look forward to our next visit!!

I stayed in the apartment. Very nice room with a great set up. I mostly appreciated the peace and quiet. I am not the social butterfly so it was great being in a quiet, peaceful place to relax by the pool or on a sun deck and just rest. The personnel were great. Will definitely go again.
