Built in 1888, this Grand Conch mansion is one of the purest examples of Bahamian architecture in Key West. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Cypress House has been maintained with utmost care to capture a true feeling of a 19th century island residence. Enjoy a hearty complimentary continental breakfast before getting out and walking just one block to exciting Duval Street with its shops, galleries, restaurants and nightlife. Fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving... they're all just minutes away. Spacious, air conditioned rooms with high ceilings and ceiling fans, old fashioned porches, lush tropical gardens and secluded sunbathing around a 40' heated lap pool all add to the enjoyment of your stay, as does our nightly complimentary cocktail hour. Cypress House offers the top amenities you want... and the luxury you deserve.
Cypress House is a graceful 110 year old Bahamian Conch Mansion. Its rooms are large (20'x14'), bright and airy. The Simonton House was built by the original owner for his daughter when she married, approximately twenty years later. While some of the Simonton House rooms are smaller than those in the main house, they are well-proportioned with lovely tiled bathrooms and elegant glass block shower stalls. All rooms in both houses are decorated in an eclectic mix of furniture ranging from wicker to antiques and have ceiling fans, a/c, color cable tv and telephones. There is a 40' heated lap pool and sundeck. Rates include an elaborate continental breakfast buffet as well as a nightly complimentary cocktail hour with beer, wine and snacks served poolside.

ROOMS:

The Blue Room
Originally the master bedroom of the main house, this room on the 2nd floor is magnificent, a room made for romance and luxury. Its soft blue and white tones complement the ceiling, which was handpainted in a floral design by a former owner decades ago. As you gaze at it from your king size bed, dreams of a more gracious era drift through your mind. A small refrigerator is large enough for champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries and midnight snacks, which you can enjoy as you snuggle on the couch. Two double doors open onto a second floor verandah with a private sitting area overlooking historic Caroline Street. The 14'x14' bathroom combines present day conveniences like a huge walk-in glass block shower, cozy cornertub and double sink with touches of the past - a chandelier and stained glass windows. Indulge yourself and relax in the Blue Room's decadent aura!
4 Rooms with 1 queen bed and private bath. All located in the Simonton house on 1st or 2nd floor. Each has distinctive features that charm. One has French doors opening onto our sundeck, another is tucked away beyond the pool with a private patio filled with lush tropical foliage...
