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.

Did not receive room choice

We booked an oceanfront room. However, when we arrived we were given a parking lot view room. We were very disappointed. We were looking forward to a peaceful relaxing getaway with the ocean sounds at our balcony-----didn't happen! The staff should be more accomodating to their guests.

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 !

Good bang for buck

The hotel was really nice and close to Duval St. Lunch was good but dinner left a little to be desired. The rooms were clean and the staff were friendly.

Great beach location

The Southernmost on the Beach was much nicer than some reviews led me to believe. They criticized the motel-like atmosphere. The only thing motel-like about it was the outside-facing doors. Otherwise, it had the normal full-service hotel amenities that you would expect. Pluses The interior of the room was very nice. The hotel and maid service was good. The rooms were quiet. The nearby beach (and beach chairs) were a big plus and the beach restaurant was very convenient. It was at the quiet end of Duval, away from the partying. Bit of a hike to the other end the the street but there are some nice, quiet bars and restaurants on this end too. Minuses The service at the restaurant was a mixed bag. There wasn't quite enough parking when the hotel was full and we had to use an overflow lot one day.

We liked the Rum Runner bar. It's just a few blocks up on Duval. The bartender there mixes a mean, and intresting, drink.

Nice Seclusion and View

The Southernmost on the Beach hotel was very nice. Location was the best aspect followed by the private small beach and pier. The hotel is more of a motel with entry to rooms from the outside. This meant that with the shades of the window open to view the ocean, other guests walk by and in some cases look inside. The staff was very nice and helpful. The small private beach with adirondack chairs was excellent as was the nice pier. The restaurant was very good for breakfast. We didn't eat their other than that. The Southernmost area of Key West is a little quieter than the northernmost area of Duvall St. The cruise ships come in on the north end. Construction of a new hotel or condo is going on right next door to this hotel. The mornings were filled with hammer and saw sounds from the contruction. We had a really great time at Southernmost though.

Perfect place to be

This hotel sits right an the end of Duval St. and has its own private beach. Parking is free. House A and B seem new and so are the rooms. Your money is well spend.

Beautiful location

We mostly relaxed on the beach and went in the pool a ton. The staff at the bar was super friendly and enjoyable to socialize with. Be sure to bring a high SPF lotion if you go there in the summer, as it gets SUPER hot in the sun and it's easy for one to burn.

A good idea to take a cab to Sunset Pier and then walk along Duval Street all the way back to the hotel, all while hitting up different bars and shops and grabbing a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants!
