J Ferrara #9: Charming Studio Oasis, Steps from Duval Street, Southernmost Point & Shared Pool!
Welcome to J Ferrara, your ideal retreat in the heart of Key West!
Nestled on a quiet street in the artist-inspired condominium complex in Bahama Village, The Galleria has a rich history dating back to the early 1900s. It was once a popular spot for traveling artists who came to Key West for inspiration and showcased their work in the nearby art galleries on Duval Street. Our cozy studio offers a peaceful base for your fun, adventurous vacation. Just 10 blocks from the beach & a short 2.5 blocks from the famous Duval Street, our location provides easy access to the best of Key West. Whether you're returning from a day of sun & sand, a boat excursion, or a leisurely stroll down Duval Street, our studio is the perfect Old Town Key West stay! Our vacation rental is named after one of our dear and talented friends, James Ferrara of J Ferrara Gallery. Based in South Florida, James specializes in underwater photography. You will find several of his pieces throughout the room! Whether you seek relaxation, adventure, or a mix of both, J Ferrara provides the perfect base for your Key West getaway.

Place is cozy and great to sleep, but little small to spend time in it. Anyhow, we were happy to be here, and location was great, close to the major things in Key West. Place was clean and nice overall.
We enjoyed our stay! The location was really great. We recommend MoonDog and The Cafe for good places to eat! We walked to two different beaches from here! And we enjoyed the pool on site. Thanks for a great time in Key West. We'll be back!

Good location, property was well maintained. Rooms are small and very small bathroom with shower sink combination was a little challenging. Pool area was nice-clean.
Enjoyed our stay! The pool was nice and close to everything we wanted to do! Very clean small but didn’t spend much time in our room. Definitely would recommend!
The accommodation is quaint and bathroom is a challenge but room was very clean. Location is surrounded by local residences. Pool was very peaceful and felt great. Close to historic locations by easy walk.
You can’t beat the location. Great pool. The room was a lot smaller than we expected. Not much room to do anything other than sleep…..but we didn’t go to Key West to stay in the room…so it wasn’t that big of a deal. We would recommend to no more than one or two people staying.
We had a great stay and the place was just right for the two of us. Didn’t feel cramped at all the tall ceilings and decor were perfect. The pool was nice too! Rented bikes and had no problem parking the car there. Felt safe thanks!
We had some difficulty with our check-in instructions which were resolved. Otherwise the property was as described, clean, small and adequate. We found parking easily and the pool was well kept and wonderful to swim in. The location is close to shopping, restaurants and the beach. I recommend this property if all you need is place to sleep and enjoy a dip in the pool.
We've now been to Key West 3 years in a row and stayed at The Galleria House the last 2 years. We love the area because it is close to everything we enjoy doing like hanging out at Ft. Zach and walking to Flamingo Crossing for an ice cream. It would be nice if the rooms were bigger, but for the amount of time spent inside it really doesn't bother us. Having the ability to wash and dry clothes makes lite travelers like us happy. The pool is a great spot to hangout in the evenings. We recommend this place to those fellow travelers just looking for a place to crash after exploring all day.
Pros: Nice pool area. Location is perfect to Duval Street and Southernmost Point. We were able to walk everywhere (an uber to the wharf for sunset cruise, but it was cheap.) Bed is comfy, as are pillows and that is a rarity that both are amazing!Cons: I think it's perfect for a 2 - 3 day stay. 6 nights - it gets a little cramped. The shower, well....clingy shower curtain in such tight quarters is a bit invasive, lol. No place to sit in room and work. Only one beach chair under bed. Overall: The room is on par with all rooms in the building and it made for some fun poolside chatter, lol. Will return.

Great experience
My husband and I decided to do a short getaway. I found this place and it sounded to be perfect for the 2 of us. The place was easy to find and on-street parking was not a problem. All our adventures were within easy walking distance.
The studio apartment is small but met our needs. Our first impression was very welcoming. We did not want for anything. There was ample extra supplies for our stay.
We had to reach out to Tina shortly after our arrival due to a beeping battery on our smoke detector. I contacted Tina and she immediately responded. When we got back from dinner, all was fixed.
We would definitely stay here again. A great place and a superb host!!
So yes...it's small, but that fit perfectly for my wife & I. She's shorter than I am and loved the shower...I'm 6'1" but was able to make it work as well. It's got everything you need...bed, fridge, bathroom, fairly private pool...and it's Key West - not a place to hunker down in your room! The location is great for Duval & Whitehead, and bike rentals are nearby if you want to venture East. I would say my only suggestion is it may be time for a new mattress.

Key West Hidden treasure
Tucked away a couple blocks from the famous Duval Street - is this studio!
First come first serve parking in front of the building made it easy to unload and park our car for our week in paradise.
We walked inside to the super clean and perfectly decorated room. Has 2 different coffee makers (keurig & drip), small fridge and everything you could need for kitchenware and utensils. Under the bed were beach chairs too!
The shower and toilet are one in the same, but the space was utilized well and again SUPER clean and accommodating for what we needed.
The pool outback was amazing too! Relaxing, quiet and always well maintained.
We never really heard our neighbors unless they were coming into the main hallway front entrance.
Best part... on site washer and dryer! Even gave us the wash pods. That was a huge bonus!
The place is small, but far exceeds your expectations! The artwork is incredible, makes you never want to leave the good life in the keys.
Being able to walk to fantasy fest and shopping areas was all of 12 minutes. Of course, the keys life is most fun on mopeds!
We will definitely be returning and be sending our friends and family to stay in this cute studio!
The location was perfect!! We were able to walk or bike anywhere...very close to restaurants, Duvall St, Southernmost point. The condo is very small, as others have mentioned, but we didnt come to spend time in our room. I felt like there was enough room for 2 of us to sleep and get ready comfortably. I would stay here again!
The space is small but it has everything you need (washer, dryer, frig, pool, etc). It’s an excellent location to bars, restaurants, beaches, and shopping. You can walk everywhere and there is a big community pool a block away if the on sight pool is too small. My best friend and I stayed comfortably cool at night in the prime of summer with the a/c.
Due to our delayed flights we arrived at 3am only to not be able to unlock the entry door but i called the phone number and surprisedly got a fast response with the codes we needed to enter. Room was comfortable, clean and very convient to walk anywhere. What surprised us most was the toilet in the bathroom.....5 stars. You will have to rent the room to find out.
