The Telegraph

"What’s better than a vacation in Key West? A vacation on a private island less than a mile off the coast of Key West, of course. That’s the allure of Sunset Key. While it’s certainly a destination unto itself, it’s also well positioned to explore the best of Key West."

Feeling ready to escape city life for some laid-back island rejuvenation? This beautiful resort has the best of both worlds: it's just a skip across the water to Key West's lively core, but it’s also a wonderfully secluded escape when the town’s historic but kitschy charm proves a bit much.

Forbes Travel Guide

Key West has a reputation as a quirky sun-soaked paradise where it would be difficult to laze the day away inside a hotel room without feeling guilty. Sunset Key Cottages, A Luxury Collection Resort embraces this notion. Make no mistake: The resort, which lies just 500 yards off the Florida coast on the palm-studded shores of Sunset Key, is all about relaxing — doing nothing here is really doing something when you’re surrounded by the island’s natural beauty and the resort’s luxury amenities.

"Known all too well for its live-and-let-live shenanigans, Key West can be paradise in the rough. But the Sunset Key Guest Cottages, just a 10-minute ferry ride away from all the umbrella drink excess, is the antithesis of all that. Here, utopia has filtered out the pedestrian in favor of the posh."

"In case you haven't heard, there's a bewitching little island just off the tip of Key West called Sunset Key.  Here, no cars are allowed, so the only sounds you're likely to hear are those of the birds navigating the lush foliage, the water lapping up on the shore, or possibly the plop of fish as they jump up and cut back into the surface of the water."

Palm Beach Illustrated

"Sunset Key is a seven-minute boat ride from Key West, but it’s a whole other world. Think pastel-colored cottages with lap siding and metal roofs, thatch umbrellas on private beaches, and ice cream carts rolling down cobbled streets. For families, it is heaven. And the fact that it was named Travel + Leisure magazine’s No. 1 U.S. resort last year doesn’t hurt, either."
