Our small size allows us to concentrate on the personal touch, from the tasteful, professionally decorated, air conditioned guest rooms to the attentive friendly service.
Knowles House is the perfect choice for an affordable, relaxing, romantic get-away. After a leisurely complimentary breakfast of assorted cereals, bagels, muffins, pastry, fresh fruit, juice and coffee or tea served in the comfortable, covered, outdoor gathering area overlooking our lush tropical garden,

either explore Key West's many shops or tourist attractions, set sail for a snorkeling or diving expedition or just relax in the sun by heated pool. If you would like, we will be happy to help you plan your activities, making any necessary arrangements from ordering flowers for your room to making dinner reservations or renting a bicycle. We want your stay with us to be as carefree as possible. At Knowles House you are not just a room number, you are a friend and we want you to have the opportunity to meet and enjoy the company of the other guests, whether it be at breakfast, by our heated pool or on our secluded, clothing-optional sun deck
We respect your desire for privacy. Feel free to laze around in bed all day with someone special, curl-up with a book in a quiet corner or just lounge around the house or garden in the fluffy robes provided in all of the rooms. However you choose to spend your time, you can be assured of our unceasing dedication to ensuring that you have a pleasant, memorable stay at Knowles House. Knowles House, elegant, affordable, and friendly.
