Margaritaville Beach House Key West

The hotel was nice, with a nice setup with the swimming pool in de middle and the accommodation & rooms around it and the overall premises were well-kept with a beautiful garden-like style. They have free parking and a great (and free!) shuttle system running from early morning till late evening that conveniently takes you to and from the town-center so you don't need to bother about parking and can have a few drinks and not having to drive back. Also the coffee station in the lobby in the morning was great.

On a family trip to Miami we traveled to Key West for 4 nights. We had a Queen Suite for the 5 of us (2 adults & 3 teens). It was a perfect size. There was a small kitchenette with a sink, fridge, microwave & coffee machine. We had brought paper plates, paper towels and plastic cutlery (purchased in supermarket locally) and had a few basics for the hungry teenagers so having a small kitchen area was handy but we did mainly ate out. The hotel itself is really lovely, a very relaxed feel to it & well kept. Very friendly & helpful staff. The hotel is situated directly across the road from Smathers Beach which is absolutely beautiful. We also spent time around the hotel pool, which was lovely. There was road works directly outside on main road but still easy to cross over to the beach and we never heard any construction noise. Parking (free) was right outside hotel door on the grounds which was ideal. A free shuttle bus runs to the town centre and back to the hotel regularly, which was really handy & we availed of this service a few times! It stayed during Halloween week, it was extra fun and lively in the town especially on Duval Street which we loved! But also taking time to walk around the smaller streets & Mallory Square was lovely. We were staying on Halloween night & the room next door in the Hotel had music quite loud with some noise (which is expected, given the evening it was!). It was only early, around 8/8.30pm & having our own teens it didn’t bother us. However obviously another resident complained as we did hear hotel staff call to the room and ask them politely to turn it down and there was no more noise for the rest of the night. We were impressed with the staff dealing with it so quickly even though it wasn’t too bad and it was Halloween after all! We loved our stay in the Margaritaville Beach house, can’t fault anything. Highly recommend a stay here & Key West is beautiful. We’ll be back!

Geared for fun and relaxation, the resort has parrothead themed decór and music. The pet-friendly policy meant our Pomeranian could hang out with us in the public areas and make friends with children and adults. The restaurant was good, the staff were great, the pool with prowling iguanas was fabulous. Little things like hammocks & cornhole sets reinforced the R&R vibe. The concierge was super helpful getting us set up for activities and recommended restaurants. The downtown shuttle was a great convenience and Luann the driver especially deserved kudos. It was a nice touch having limes, lemons, and oranges in the ice-dispensing area, though the ice was dumped , frozen solid, in bags and had to be smashed up to be usable — see below about maintenance issues, as those employees seemed to have little supervision or structure.

I visited with friends and we all flew in from different states. We were able to drop off our luggage and explore until we could check in or Fly out. Complimentary shuttle to and from the airport is included. There is also a shuttle down to the Wharf area which leaves on the Hour until 11pm. The Beach is directly across the street. And the pool is heated and enjoyable. We went around Christmas and the lobby looked beautiful without going overboard on the decorations.

Margaritaville Beach House Key West was a last minute find so that we could meet our friends from Wales. We are so glad we found it. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The shuttle ride to and from town was very convenient and we used it often. We also were able to use the airport shuttle to and from so that we didn’t need to walk or take an Uber. We were very happy and would definitely stay again!
