1800 Atlantic Suites

1800 Atlantic Suites rents two and three bedroom condos at 1800 Atlantic Boulevard, on the ocean side of Key West where the island faces the Atlantic sunrise. Units come with full kitchens, private balconies and floor to ceiling glass doors, and views split between the water and the property's gardens and courtyard, so it is worth asking which you are booking.

The complex is built for settling in rather than running out the door. A heated pool and a large hot tub sit on the ocean side, there are his and hers saunas, lighted tennis courts including a clay court, and barbecue shelters with covered picnic tables set in the gardens. Gated garage parking comes with the unit, which on an island where parking is a daily problem is a bigger deal than it sounds on a list.

The tradeoff is distance from the noise, and for a lot of families that is the whole point. Duval Street and Old Town are a short drive or bike ride away, the airport is close, and at the end of the day you come back to a kitchen and room to spread out instead of a hotel room. Book through 1800atlantic.com or call (305) 294-8877.
