Newly expanded hotel with beach and oceanfront guestrooms
The newly expanded, updated Southernmost on the Beach hotel stretches along a secluded section of Key West coastline, far enough to provide respite from downtown craziness, but close enough to hit the scene any time. Guests can catch some rays on the private beach or visit the pier for front row seats of spectacular sunrises and sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean. The hotel also boasts a junior-size Olympic pool with an oceanfront bar and massage services.

Highlights
  • Located waterfront along a quiet stretch of beach on the south side of Key West
  • All rooms and suites offer either oceanfront access or ocean views
  • Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel
Rooms

The hotel offers 123 guestrooms, 80 of them newly built, all decorated with dark mahogany furniture and blue and white accents that lend a nautical feel. Guestrooms come in ocean-view and oceanfront styles with either single kings or pairs of queen beds. Custom-designed penthouse suites add to the luxury. In-room amenities include coffee makers, mini refrigerators, iPod docks and free Wi-Fi access.

Dining
The pool bar serves cocktails and a light lunch menu, while the nearby Southernmost Beach Cafe dishes up fresh seafood and waterfront views.   

Recreation
As part of the Southernmost Hotel Collection, Southernmost on the Beach sits among its sister properties along the south coast of Key West. Guests can relax in hammocks or beach chairs on the private beach or take a dip in the outdoor pool. Massage services and a fitness center round out the leisure offerings.

Area description
The Southernmost on the Beach is located on the Atlantic shore of historic old town of Key West. This gorgeous oceanfront property stretches out on a secluded section of the island; away from the hustle of Key West activities, but close enough to the excitement when you want it. The brand new and renewed Southernmost on the Beach hotel is just about half a block from the famous Duval Street and about a block from the Southernmost Point of the USA.

The main travel feedback site is not all ways right! This is the BEST hotel on Key West and I have stayed in a few. The service is that good you don't really even see the staff you just get what you need. Great beach and the pier is a great place to start any day. Book with Confidence you won;t be disappointed

Excellent Hotel

I stay there with my two daughters. The rooms were spacious, clean and well air conditioned. The staff was great. There was ample free parking and free Wifi.. It is at the south end of Duval Street. Close enough to walk, yet far enough to not here the night life when you want to sleep, We ate several meals at the Beach Cafe and enjoy every entree. We loved the place and will be back again

Outstanding Honeymoon!

We went to Southernmost on the beach for our Honeymoon. The location of this hotel is unbeatable. It is tucked away at the end of Duvall street and placed right on the ocean. So there is plenty of quiet and privacy but the fun of Duvall street is literally right around the corner. Everything was in walking distance. The grounds are meticulously kept and there are plenty of romantic spots around the grounds including hammocks and chairs by the ocean. The pool is beautiful and did I mention the pool bar? It was great. The bartender was awesome and welcomed us honeymooners with a special cocktail. They really make you feel at home. It was a great experience and a great stay. We will defintely return here in the future for our anniversaries!

If you have the time, take a day trip to the Dry Tortugas via the Yankee Freedom ferry. It is a little pricey but defnintely worth the money. It takes almost a full day but you see the beautiful waters, explore Fort Jefferson and are privvy to some great snorkeling.

Excellent hotel, great staff, a little pricey, but worth every penny.

On the water! Rooms are nice sized, but who really cares about the room - one stays at this hotel for the location which cannot be beat. There is a semi-private beach next door, a great restaurant, 2 bars, a phenomenal pier and gorgeous, gorgeous views. The staff is friendly and professional, the rooms are impeccably clean, the toiletries are fantastic - addictive, almost. This hotel is not in the 'center of everything' but, Key West is pretty small so one can take a bike or walk to the 'party size' of the island, or simply relax pool side with a Pina Colada, enjoy the ocean views and watch the people.

Mis-leading Marketing

Unfortunately what you see is what you DONT GET . do NOT use their website as a guideline , the pool they advertise -where is that !! Looks nothing like the pool they use on the advertising blurb , we also paid for an ocean view - UNLESS you secure first floor room , its not worth the additional money ( and it aint cheap!!) - our view was a wall ( not happy) when we brougt this to the attention of the management , not interested , would not move us , only offered as an upgrade at a discounted rate of $300 surplus for the 3 nights we were staying .. No thanks !!! Never met such disinterested staff in terms of delivering a quality service - we wish we had stayed elsewhere for the money we paid £750!!! so so so disappointed !

Anniversary Vacation

My husband and I just returned from our 30th anniversary celebration trip at Southernmost Hotel on the Beach. The facilities were lovely, the grounds and rooms very clean and beautiful. The weather was perfect everyday and the staff were very accomodating and went out of their way to ammend things that were not quite right with our reservation. We would definitely go back again.
