Stays with a View
Recommendations on where to stay with beautiful views of the ocean!
Beautiful cabins (with kitchens) that have all been recently redone; this is a must revisit for us after adding on a night from our original stay (& they’ll give you a discount for return stays). Fun fact / they’ll be on an HGTV episode in the fu...
Pines And Palms Resort | Official Website
Beautiful location with a small beach & walking distance to a couple restaurants & shops (with sidewalk access). We stayed in an ocean front cabin with a hammock (that I may have tumbled out of entirely sober, lol).
Amoray Resort | Key Largo Dive Resorts | Official Website
Must See Stops
Are you really a Florida Keys tourist if you haven’t stopped at these locations?
You can’t travel the keys and NOT stop to take a picture with Betsy - she’s also surrounded by some food vendors & shopping if you’re ready for a break from traveling.
Betsy the Lobster
Blast back in the past walking the grounds of this historic site; it’s also connected to a beautiful (rocky) beach and restaurant. A calm relaxation point in the chaos of downtown Key West.
Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park - Florida State Parks
Get up close and personal with dolphins, seals, sharks, turtles and even more! They efficiently move you from attraction to attraction with their team for informative up close interactions. Highly recommend if you love animals!
Theater of the Sea: Swim with dolphins in the Florida Keys!
Food (& Drinks) You Won’t Regret
High quality food & dining while traveling in the keys.
Great food, phenomenal service and top notch cocktails. If you’re there waiting for a table make sure to grab a cocktail on the third floor!
Square Grouper - Islamorada
Top notch selection for drinks & food - make sure to take a loop in the back for their beautiful outdoor area.
Islamorada Brewery & Distillery
Phenomenal service, phenomenal food and the view is AMAZING! Highly recommend sitting outside to enjoy it all!
