Sunset Key Cottages Press Releases

"Sunset Key Cottages is one of those places that is every bit as magical when you're there as it looks like it will be in photographs."

"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."

"Just seven minutes away from Key West is a beautiful oasis that is home to cottages laced with bougainvillea, an idyllic spa and an exclusive beach. Filled with panoramic views of the waters and jasmine gardens, Sunset Key Cottages offers tranquility and charm to those who settle in any one of its lush private homes or cottages."

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.

"This man-made island sits 500 yards from the Conch Republic — home to Sunset Key’s 40 guest cottages. Ferry over for a sunset dinner on the sands at Latitudes, for Florida lobster and locally caught yellowtail snapper, or rent a cottage for the experience of living on a private island. Boats to and from Key West run 24 hours a day for late mainland fun."

"Helmed by executive chef Todd Holender, Latitudes pays homage to Ernest Hemingway, Key West’s most famous historical resident, with the walls of its interior dining room covered in photos of the author."

"Forget 'home away from home' - this is the home your clients wish they had!"      

"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."

"White-washed cottages--with a new spa and restaurant--on a secluded island near Key West."

"Just 500 yards off Key West, this man-made island is home to Sunset Key’s 40 guest cottages. Ferry over for a sunset dinner on the sands at Latitudes for Florida lobster and locally caught yellowtail snapper or go ahead and rent a cottage for the experience of living on a private island. Boats to and from Key West run 24 hours a day for late mainland fun."

"Aura Jets & Latitudes restaurant partner to present Jet Set Dining on Sunset Key."

"Set on secluded Sunset Key, a private island just off Key West, Sunset Key Guest Cottages are the perfect place to get away from it all. The charming hotel features traditional Key West architecture, lovely manicured gardens, a garden pool and a white sand beach."

Sunset Key Cottages, a Luxury Collection Resort, has been named the #1 resort in the Continental U.S. according to Travel + Leisure magazine's 2015 World's Best awards: "Sunset Key provides a one-of-a-kind setting for extraordinary experiences."

Despite its humble tin roofs, this otherwise plush hotel ranked at No. 1 in the U.S. for its location: a private island that’s 500 yards from Key West, which is close enough to enjoy the festive vibe, but far enough away to feel tranquil.

Before the snow gets unbearable, book a stay at Sunset Key Cottages, A Luxury Collection Hotel, where the waters are blue and the only white you’ll see for miles is the sand on the beach.

"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."

"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."

"The tiny private island off Key West marries the idyllic, family-centric lifestyle of a bygone era with all the little luxuries of modern island living."

"Psst! Let us tell you a secret.  There's no need to leave the country for a private island escape.  Just head to Sunset Key Cottages, a secluded island resort just a 7-minute ferry ride from Key West.  Made up of 40 cottages, this unbelievably laid-back address is fast becoming our new favorite hideaway."

"I still love Key West; I always will.  And my new favorite way to go there is the treat-yourself-like-a-VIP route, which is the delicious Sunset Key option."

"(The resort is) only accessible via Sunset Key’s private boat. And it’s enchanting, to be sure. Clapboard cottages with Victorian-style tin roofs offer views of perfectly manicured gardens teeming with white butterflies and wide stretches of powdery sand framed by warm turquoise waters."

"(Sunset Key Cottages) is taking all the guess work out of visiting Cuba by offering its guests private, curated day trips to the once-forbidden island....  Sunset Key is the only hotel offering a package like this, and if you want to see Havana as part of your Florida Keys getaway, this is the easiest, fastest, and most comprehensive way to get it done."

 “You’ll Scream for This Man”

"It won't take long to become accustomed to and comfortable in the private island lifestyle that exists under towering palm trees on Sunset Key, just 500 yards off Mallory Square."
