Tucked beneath a wild orchid tree on Southard Street, Scarlet Mango Inn welcomes guests to a historic Bahamian-style mansion that has survived fires, hurricanes, and generations of island lore. The lovingly restored estate showcases Dade County pine floors, crown moldings, and wrap-around porches that capture Key West’s easy coastal rhythm. From this serene hideaway, visitors are only steps from Duval Street and the buzz of the historic seaport, yet worlds away in atmosphere.
Inside, six individually curated accommodations—ranging from cozy queen nooks to expansive king suites—blend vintage charm with modern indulgence. Travelers can choose luxurious king and queen rooms like Golden Nugget, Honey, and Scarlet, each offering plush bedding, wall-mounted smart TVs, Keurig coffee stations, and spa-inspired baths with quartz-top vanities. Accessibility is thoughtfully addressed in the Julie studio, featuring ramp entry and a seated shower. Wherever guests settle, soaring windows flood every space with tropical light and invite balmy breezes to drift through.
Life unfolds around the garden deck, where a shimmering heated outdoor pool and loungers create an oasis of calm. Mornings begin in the parlor with complimentary coffee; evenings wind down on lantern-lit porches or at the grilling and dining area ideal for al-fresco gatherings. Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, chilled water, ice, and luggage storage add seamless comfort, while convenient street parking and bike-friendly streets make island exploration effortless. With its adults-only retreat policy and contactless check-in, the inn delivers the privacy today’s travelers crave.
Beyond the gate, sun-splashed beaches, Ernest Hemingway’s Home, Mallory Square sunsets, and world-class dining are all within a leisurely stroll. Whether seeking a romantic escape, a friends’ getaway, or simply a slice of Key West history, Scarlet Mango Inn offers the perfect blend of heritage, style, and island soul—all wrapped in lush gardens and guided by genuine Southernmost hospitality.
