Atlantis House

Atlantis House sits at 1401 Atlantic Boulevard on the ocean side of Key West, about a mile and a quarter from Duval Street on the edge of the Casa Marina district, with Higgs Beach and the White Street Pier at the end of the block. New owners took it over in 2021 and renovated it, and it holds a 2022 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice award.

There are three separate places to stay. The Main Residence is a twelve-hundred-square-foot house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, sleeping up to eight across a downstairs king, a downstairs queen, and a queen and futon in the upstairs loft. The loft looks out over the ocean and the palms, and the wraparound deck, which the owners call the Captain’s Deck, faces the water on one side and the White Street Pier on the other, with dining for six outside. The kitchen is properly equipped, with a full-size Sub-Zero, a separate freezer, a stand mixer and both drip and espresso coffee. Bicycles come with the house, along with a private garden with a fountain, hammock swings, a netted gazebo and a charcoal grill, plus a washer and dryer and one private parking space.

Around the corner, the Palm Suite and the Banyan Suite are adults-only accommodations with their own private entrances. The Palm Suite runs about six hundred and fifty square feet under a seventeen-foot vaulted ceiling, and the Banyan Suite sits in a tropical garden a few steps from the beach. Children are welcome in the suites only when both are booked together.

Note the minimum stays, which differ sharply. The Main Residence is offered for 28 nights or longer, making it a month in Key West rather than a week. The suites take bookings from two nights.

This is the quiet side of Old Town. Higgs Beach, the pier, the Casa Marina and the West Martello garden are all within a few minutes on foot, and Duval is a bike ride rather than a walk.
