Simplicity
Refined
It's hard to believe a difference comes with an island only
minutes from "mainland" Key West to the east. How curious life
can be.
The essence of the
Caribbean basks here. If one ever desired the feeling of being
left on an island, in luxury, a cottage on Sunset Key is the
place to be.
Dawn deBoer,
Key West Magazine, March 2004 |
Latitude's
Beach Cafe is at the top of our list!

Private island spawns
modern fairy tales
Key West is festive, frantic and
fascinating. We wouldn't have missed it. But first and foremost, we were glad
to make Sunset Key the center of our vacation. Amid Key West's energy and
excitement, our island provided a welcome haven of tranquility, not to mention
unlimited pampering. It's the stuff of modern fairy tales.

The Florida Keys
Speaking of beauty, Sunset Key Guest Cottages,
A Westin Resort represent a
collection of 37 charming 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom cottages sprinkled over the
private island of Sunset Key. The idyllic atoll has one of the best beaches in
the Keys, and is only a 10-minute ferry ride from the docks of
The Westin Key
West Resort & Marina.

Down to Last Resort? Key
to another world is at hand
Luxury aside, the resort's
most valuable commodities are simple: privacy, quiet, and waterfront - elements
sometimes hard to find in the growing bustle of Key West.
Ann
Boese, The Miami Herald, August 13, 2000 |
Lost in
Paradise
The degree of seclusion here is up
to you. If, for some insane reason, you want to touch base with
civilization, the Lil Princess sails between Sunset Key and Key
West hourly, allowing you to come and go easily. But once you
settle into this island of peace and perfection, your only
communication will likely be a scrawled message in a bottle,
floating toward the mainland: "Lost in Paradise - No Forwarding
Address."
Dana Adkins Campbell, Southern Living, June
1999 |
Laid Back Latitudes
The restaurant probably has the loveliest ambience in Key West.
It's 80 or so cozy seats sit in a wall-less dining room beneath rotating
ceiling fans or outside on individual wooden "islands" on the beach. The menu
is fresh, big on local seafood and surprisingly affordable. The service is
intelligent, unobtrusive and, in the case of Jim Blomeley, suave and witty.
Bud Navero, Key West Morning Star, April 1999 |
Another Key Asset For
Florida
Among the many pleasures that await:
garden-view, ocean-view and beach-front cottages (fully furnished), with airy
living rooms that open onto private verandas, where your complimentary
breakfast basket is delivered discreetly each morning; a mesmerizing
zero-degree entry pool; a beachfront restaurant and bar; and the special
satisfaction of knowing that you can take "getting away from it all" to an
entirely new level without traveling to the ends of the earth...
Brian Cook, The Big To Do, Delta Sky, June 1998 |
Time Present in Key West
Sunset Key...is a new, one-of-a-kind Key West experience. This
hideaway island in the Gulf Stream is the perfect place for a stay of any
length...The accommodations, with names like Sanctuary, Sand Dollar, Monet and
Manatee, are secluded, sophisticated, and surrounded by sun, sea, and sand.
This environmentally sensitive island stimulates the senses and helps make a
vacation more magical.
