Ready for a Bed & Breakfast in Key West
Update May 2013... Papa's Bed & Breakfast seems to have been sold... I haven't found the on-line sales record yet, but the listing has been removed, and according to the guests the place is run by other team... On the website it reads... "Please welcome Key West Vacation Rentals as the new management team for Papa’s Hideaway!"
