Sweet Caroline | Banana's Foster Guesthouse
Summary:
Banana's Foster Guest House is a charming historic conch home in the heart of Key West, just steps from the historic seaport and downtown. After a day of exploring, relax in the shared pool or enjoy a barbecue on the patio, perfect for connecting with other guests. Divided into six individual units, the guest house offers flexibility for both solo stays or group bookings, making it ideal for your next Key West vacation.
The Space:
Sweet Caroline, the largest unit at Banana’s Foster Guesthouse, offers a spacious retreat with its private porch on Caroline Street. This 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath unit comfortably accommodates up to 7 guests. Each bedroom features a luxurious king-sized bed and en suite bathroom. For additional sleeping arrangements, the living room includes two sleeper sofas—a queen-sized and a full-sized bed. The gourmet kitchen, with its generous counter space, abundant natural light, and all necessary amenities, is perfect for preparing meals to share laughter and stories around the dining table. Step out onto the back deck to access the shared pool or fire up the grill to cook your fresh catch. With private parking and accommodations for your furry friends, Sweet Caroline has everything you need for a memorable stay.
Guest Access:
Our contactless check-in procedure makes check-in easy. Guests will receive a personalized access code prior to check-in to enter the unit.
The Neighborhood:
Perfectly situated between Downtown and the Historic Seaport, this location puts you close to all the best of Key West. Enjoy sunset views at Mallory Square, adventure on the water with Fury's tours, or explore Key West history at the Shipwreck and Mel Fisher Maritime Museums.
While the vibrant downtown ambiance brings some noise, the central location makes it an easy and convenient home base for your Key West experience.
Just half a block from Duval Street, Banana's Foster Guest House is steps away from iconic bars and restaurants. Indulge in local favorites such as First Flight, Bagatelle, and Two Friends Patio, all within a five-minute walk. For dessert, Kermit’s Key Lime Pie in the Historic Seaport serves the best Key Lime Pie in town, or you can satisfy your sweet tooth with homemade fudge and candy from River Street Sweets.
If you’re missing something or need a quick fix, Shorty’s Market is just around the corner for your last-minute essentials. For locally sourced groceries, Fausto's Food Market is only two blocks away.
Getting Around:
Parking Information: There is one designated off-street parking spot for this unit.
