What's nearby

  • #TroveOn A couple miles north of Key West, on the right is Boca Chica Rd, follow that road as far as you can and you'll get to the beach at Geiger Key. The road comes to an abrupt stop, the rest of it was destroyed in a hurricane years ago but you can park there and walk out. The beach is secluded and quiet, except when the Navy is holding flight practices. The planes are so close, you can see the pilots!

Susan

Liked: Cleanliness
The location is great and the property itself is very charming. Unfortunately, noise was a major issue during our stay. The walls are extremely thin—we could even hear the neighboring room snoring. The windows didn’t seal well, so noise from the pool carried into our room, and being located in the hallway meant frequent door slamming from other guests.
