Cayo Hueso Resorts

Cayo Hueso Resorts is a small collection of private rentals on United Street in Old Town Key West, which is the part of town where people actually live. You get a whole cottage, bungalow or house to yourself rather than a room with a corridor outside it, in sizes from one to three bedrooms, so it works for a couple as easily as for three generations traveling together.

Every unit has a full kitchen and its own private sundeck with a gas grill, which in this climate is where you will end up eating most nights. Wi-Fi, local calls, laundry and a welcome basket come with the stay, and there is a heated pool shared among the properties. Parking is on site, which anyone who has circled Old Town looking for a space will appreciate. The units are air conditioned and non smoking, and the place is set up for families.

The location is the quiet trick here. You are one block off Duval Street, close enough to walk to dinner and back without a plan, and less than two blocks from the beach at the southern end of the island. The Southernmost Point, the Hemingway Home and the Lighthouse are all within an easy walk, and the rest of Old Town is flat enough to cover on a bike.

Call the office to talk through which of the cottages suits your group, since each one is laid out differently.
