About this property

Original Tiki Suite — Unique Floating Bungalow on the water in Key West, FL

Leave reality behind and experience one of America's coolest overwater stays. Safely anchored on the shallow, pristine backcountry waters off Key West, the Original Tiki Suite balances the rugged thrill of boat life with the plush comforts of a luxury hotel. Built entirely by hand, this off-grid, secluded floating oasis offers 360-degree, uninterrupted views of the open ocean and absolute silence. There are no hotel hallways or crowds here—just you, your partner, and the clear blue horizon.


The Space

The structure features a towering, handcrafted authentic thatched tiki roof and premium hardwood floors. Three distinct sets of gorgeous open-air French doors frame a massive King-size bed, allowing you to catch gentle ocean breezes during the day and sleep under the stars at night.

While completely off-grid, you won’t sacrifice a single luxury. The Original Tiki is fully air-conditioned and features a built-in motorized smart TV that rises directly from the foot of your bed at the press of a button.

Bedroom Oasis
Premium King bed, high-end linens, open-air layout, and automated drop-down privacy shades.

Private Bathroom: Fully enclosed ensuite bathroom with an eco-conscious marine flush toilet and a hot-water shower.

Morning Coffee: Equipped with a Keurig coffee station to enjoy a fresh brew right on the edge of the floating deck.

Adventure & Water Activities

Step right off your private floating platform directly into the crystal-clear water. The shallow backcountry flat surrounding the tiki acts as your personal swimming, snorkeling, and marine playground.

Complimentary gear included with your stay:
Two premium stand-up paddleboards (SUPs)
High-quality snorkel masks and fins
Relaxing overwater hammock for sunset viewing


Important Logistics & Access

Because this property sits peacefully out in the harbor away from land, it is accessible exclusively by boat.

Water Shuttles: We proudly partner with local marine operator to provide quick, reliable water taxi transport to and from the mainland.

Discount Code: To keep your travel easy and affordable, all Tiki Suites bookings include a 50% off discount coupon for general seating shuttle transfers.

Packing: We highly advise packing light (similar to airline carry-on parameters). Secure luggage storage options are available on land if you need them.

Supplies: Bring your favorite meals and snacks, drinks, and ice; a high-end cooler for ice and a refrigerator is provided.
