Southernmost Beach Resort and Guesthouses
Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection by Hilton
The best location in Key West to have the best of the both worlds: rest and recharge at the beach, and walking distance to duval street where all the main attractions are. The staff at the hotel is one of the best I have encountered. And the private beach is truly a hidden beauty!
