Where To Stay -- Finding The Right Key West Inn
While Key West may not be a huge island, it is still important to find a place to stay that will allow you easy access to any and all attractions you may want to visit. If you want to spend a lot of time at the beach, it just makes sense to stay somewhere near the sand and water. If you are a foodie and plan to spend the majority of your time sampling local cuisine, then it is a no-brainer to stay near restaurants and bars.
But before you get to Key West, how are you to know where to book at Key West inn? Well, at Key West Historic Inns, we have finding the right place to call it a night down to an exact science. We scout the best rooms all over the island and pass our knowledge on to you. As they say, it is all about location. Here is a quick guide to finding a great Key West inn anywhere in the city.
Old Town
Old Town is one of the most active neighborhoods in Key West. The home of numerous bars, quaint boutiques, and amazing restaurants, Old Town is an amazing place for visitors young and old to let their hair down and enjoy the island at its most vibrant. For those with a deep love of history, Key West tours of Old Town depart daily. If you really want to experience Old Town for all it's worth, then booking a Key West inn located in the neighborhood is an ideal choice.
There are many great inns located within the boundaries of the neighborhood. Casa 325, the Duval House, and the Simonton House are all located just steps from the neighborhood's center, Duval Street. Others like the Wicker Guest House, Palms Hotel, and Conch House are just a scant few blocks from all of the fun and energy.
Near The Beach
In Key West, the beach is where a lot of the action happens. From activities like Key West parasailing and scuba diving in Key West to simply lying on the beach all day with a good book and lots of sunscreen, the sands and water attract a lot of people. If you feel like spending the majority of your vacation among other beach goers, then you should really look into booking your Key West inn close to one of the island's many beaches.
On the southern tip of the island is a string of beaches and a fair amount of great places to stay. One of the highlights is the Southernmost House, which is located near the Conch Republic Buoy – the southernmost tip of the United States and only 90 miles from Cuba. Other great places just a few steps away are the Douglas House and Cuban Club Suites.
The Historic Seaport Boardwalk
Of course, no conversation about great walking tours of Key West would be complete without a mention of the Historic Seaport Boardwalk. The boardwalk is on the north side of the island and is home to many boats and historical artifacts from the island's long history. A Key West inn near this attraction will give you access to breathtaking views and some awesome exercise. Near the boardwalk is the Whispers Guest House, a great Key West inn on the island.
