“Very nice place to stay in Key West”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012 via mobile

My husband and I stayed at Southernmost on the Beach for our Anniversary in late November. The location is great because it is on the quiet side of Duval street. We did not have a car during our stay and had no problem walking to everything including restaurants and other points of interest. We stayed in the C Building with a lawn view overlooking the water. Sunset was right off our deck! Rooms are not quite as large as expected, but they are up to date and well maintained. The cleaning staff was friendly and accommodating. The bar staff at The Shores were great, very friendly and helpful. The pool area is a little small, but adequate. There is a great sun deck and sandy area on the back of the property that is quiet and relaxing. The only issue we had was a lack of bar/food service while at the back of the property. However, it was rectified by management once it was brought to their attention. Not all rooms in the A and B buildings have great views of the water. So if that is important to you, be sure to ask. All rooms in the C Building are water front, but the second floor rooms have the best views. I would recommend this property as one of the best places to stay in Key West. Most other properties do not have the waterfront views or beach access.

“All I can say is it was awesome!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

The keylime pie was out of this world !!! If you want to relax in a hammock you can,watch the sunset into the gulf or watch it rise out of the atlantic its simply a amazing place to stay. The best part is you can get on the trolly right out in front of the hotel we never drove did alot of walking though.

“Best for Singles and Young Couples”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

This hotel has a number of pools, great staff , wonderful rooms and is within walking distance of all sights and restaurants. My wife and I were there in August and had a lovely time. The one drawback for us was that most of the other guests in the pools were singles and were loudly socializing. Also in the street at night singles way outnumbered couples, especially people our age (in our 60's). In retrospect we much perferred some of the other Key islands that were much more laid back and relaxing.

“Nice time!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012 via mobile

We stayed at this hotel for our 15th Anniversary. Nice location, close to everything. Rooms were tastefully decorated and very clean. I am very picky and was not disappointed with any part of our stay.

“Dream Honeymoon We Never Had”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

When we got married ten years ago we didn't get a honeymoon. We always said for our tenth anniversary we would leave the kids for a few days and get that trip we never had. I booked Southernmost on the Beach and crossed my fingers that we would get our money's worth as well as the great time we were looking for.

We got there about half an hour before check in time and were pleasantly surprised when our room was ready for us immediately, complete with the champaign and chocolate covered strawberries we ordered. With it was a lovely card wishing us a Happy 10th Anniversary. As soon as we checked in we put on our suits and headed to the pool bar, Shores, for a drink and some relaxation. We got there just in time for the Newlywed Game. It was so much fun!! Boomer was great and we were thrilled when we won. It was the perfect start to the trip.

The poolside activities were perfect the entire time. From the amazing live music, to watching my husband try to hula hoop, to Boomer and Greg being so friendly...it was all perfect. Another employee who really went above and beyond was Julie, the concierge. She was extremely helpful and sweet. Even though the hotel was mostly full for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, it never felt crowded. There were always chairs by the pool or an open hammock.

My one piece of advice would be to consider waiting to book any excursions with Fury while you are there. We had the Sea of Love package that included the champaign, strawberries, a sunset cruise and the ultimate adventure with Fury. We found out after we were there that Fury was running a special and we could have saved about $50.

The location was also great. We walked up to Duval every night, hit the bars, saw a drag show...did the whole nightlife...and then walked right back down Duval to the quiet end to the hotel. No noise, no drunk craziness...it was PERFECT!

I seriously can't wait to go back to Southernmost on the Beach again. It was everything I dreamed of and will never feel cheated out of a honeymoon again. I just had to wait a little while to find the perfect place!!!
