Southernmost House Key West
Key West Southernmost House
A Key West hotel that offers breakfast for a low resort fee? Yes! The Southernmost House is not only famous but offers oceanfront rooms in the traditional Florida style. Island style is front and center at this one-of-a-kind location in Key West. This historic mansion has hosted 5 United States Presidents and celebrities. On the quiet end of Duval Street, this clean and private residence turned resort hotel is a gem for any Florida Keys visitor. The only downside may be the lack of a real beach. There’s a public beach adjacent to the hotel, but it’s public and can get busy. If exploring Key West is more important than a beach vacation, then this hotel might be just right. It's hard to find a good beach in the Florida Keys due to mangroves and seaweed. The hotel does offer beautiful ocean views and sunsets. Learn more about Southernmost House by clicking here.
