It is with great sadness and remorse that we have to say Finn earned his wings yesterday.
He died peacefully, his little old body just gave up. He spent his last night asleep in Janet's arms.
We don’t know what his early years were like. He was fostered from the Englewood, FL SPCA by Kandy Kasser. Upon hearing about the death of Alvin, she called to say she had a cat to share with the Angelina. She knew he couldn’t replace Alvin, but it was a space he could fill.
His years at the Angelina were great. He made so many, many friends.
Some of you may remember Goober. The day we buried her, Brad, a guest of ours, wrote this beautiful poem that we want to share. If memory serves us right, it is based on an old Indian poem.
Rest In Peace Little One
Do not stand at my grave and weap,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints in snow,
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain,
As you awake with morning’s hush,
I am the swift up flying rush,
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I did not die,
My spirit is still alive.

Janet & Kevin have sold The Angelina and new ownership goes into effect next week, so our Happy Hour hosts have an expensive bottle of the finest French champagne and are raising a glass to all of you! Thank you for 20 years of amazing memories, laughs and love!
WE MADE IT! WE ABSOLUTELY MADE IT!!!! Today marks the official end of the 2021 hurricane season! Thankfully, we made it through unscathed - now it's hurricanes in a glass for the next 6 months, until the worry begins again! Yahooooo!!!!!!

It's Happy Hour on National Cake Day AND it's the Angelina Facebook Fairy's Friend, Susan's, birthday, so we're going to celebrate all of them all at once! The only thing truly better than cake is our friend, Susan - with a glass of bubbles, to help wash it all down! Raise a glass to Susan, show us what you're drinking and enjoy the weekend! CHEERS!

Figures we'd be setting the Thanksgiving table when you know who makes an appearance and commands all our attention! He usually picks a nice, warm lap spot for dinner - ON the table is out of the ordinary! Finn wishes you a safe and happy Thanksgiving, hopefully reunited with loved ones!

In the heart of old Key West lies the Angelina. Once a 1920’s bo****lo and gambling spot, now a guest house styled in true island tradition!
The Angelina is friendly and clean, with no phones or television, two blocks from Duval Street and within walking distance of the significant sights of old Key West.
The heated lagoon style pool, surrounded by lush tropical plants, is a great place to relax and get away from it all.
Lay in a poolside hammock while the trickling waterfall lulls you to sleep. Enjoy a good book while sitting by the pool or just sip a drink while relaxing in the pool and watching the palms sway in a gently breeze.
Your hosts will greet you with warm sourthern hospitality that makes you feel like you are visiting long lost friends. Start your morning with bagels, fruit, coffee, tea, juice and, of course, our famous homemade cinnamon rolls.
Our accommodations at The Angelina vary greatly. From a simple shared bathroom accommodation to a two bed unit with microwave and fridge, to larger king and queen bedrooms. Tll the rooms at The Angelina are charming and quaint with air-conditioning and ceiling fans in keeping with the island tradition. Free wifi is provided.
The Angelina appeals to the adult crowd looking for a quiet, peaceful place to escape it all. We do not take children under the age of 18 and no one under 21 years old is allowed without a parent. Loud partying “spring breaking” is best on Duval Street, but not at The Angelina.
