This place was fabulous! Located right next door to Louie's Backyard--we had the same fantastic views without paying extra for them. We rented a 2 bdrm suite (an efficiency and 1 bedroom connected) on the top floor of the D bldg, and I have only 1 regret... that we couldn't stay longer! The rooms were clean, well-stocked, and very comfortable--loved the rocking chairs on the porch, and the sound of the Atlantic waves. It was a short walk to get to Duval Street, and then of course you'll walk MANY blocks on the active part of Duval itself. Wear comfortable shoes, and DO rent bikes or scooters for a day to see more sites.

What a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy the quiet sound of the ocean lapping at the shoreline! We have returned from a week there in trade through Interval and have nothing but the highest praise for this resort.

The B building 3rd floor unit we stayed in had a spectacular view overlooking the pool and the ocean just beyond with swaying palm fronds shading our porch as the sun moved in its course. Sunrise and sunset are both easily enjoyed here from the ocean-side patio and the property is well kept and lushly landscaped. It's the epitome of a tropical paradise and the Old Key West style buildings enhance the comfortable and homey atmosphere.

The bed was very comfortable; the living room airy and spacious although we preferred to sit outside on the long covered porch whenever we were there. The kitchen was nicely equipped.

Most everyone who stays here is an owner. It's evidently rare to find a unit offered for trade but anyone who does trade in or rent here will be amazed to find that this relatively unknown jewel in KW will become one of your most memorable vacation lodging memories. No wonder so many families own and return here year after year after year. They are like close-knit extended family.

We walked to everything each day although next time I’d rent a bike. We loved the nearby Ana’s Cuban coffee and Camille’s for breakfast. We swam in the ocean right out front, listened to the waves gently breaking against the patio wall in the evening, chatted with the friendly returning owners and just let the stress melt away a little more each day.

Thank-you CBR for making our KW vacation so enjoyable. We hope to see you again!

First, let me explain that I am a Hotel Snob and was concerned about going to a property I have never been nor did we know anyone who has ever stayed there. It was wonderful. It is not the Waldorf in NY where we stay frequently but it matches the Waldorf for cleanliness and service. All freshly painted, a beautiful pool right on the Ocean and a real beach (not man made). Lots of flowers and palms to give shade if you are not a sun worshiper. Wonderful restaurants and shopping right within walking distance and one of the most recommended restaurants Louie's Backyard/Backporch is right next door to the resort. This is the quiet part of the Island, yet you can walk to Mallory Square when you want excitement or drive and park in a public parking lot.

On Tuesday night, they had a welcome rum party at the pool and music and also a departure rum party on Friday with music. They have a very good Massage Therapist who will come to your room and give you (one of the best I ever had) massages for $75 for an hour or she will also do it by pool. Her name is Joy.

I will definetly go back to Coconut Beach Resort.

We stayed here mid April, two adults and four children (ages 8, 9, 10, 11) and absolutely loved it! We've stayed in the past at the Casa Marina, but given the nightmare of the construction (not to mention the price), this was a perfect alternative at a great price. We even got to use our favorite beach at The Reach because it was closed while we were there and was being handled by Barefoot Billy, who had the watersports still available.

Our room was wonderfully clean, plenty spacious for our group, and when we found a couple of minor issues in the room, it was literally fixed the same day (we mentioned it to the front desk in the morning, when we returned late in the afternoon everything was fixed...excellent service.) We were in A-201, which was a perfect location for us--next to Louie's Backyard but I found no issues with noise or sound from the restaurant at all.

There is a single cleaning during the week, though for a small fee you can have an additional cleaning. We found it was not necessary, and they provided a few extra towels and toilet paper, etc. upon request. The kitchen is great--we loved being able to have breakfast and lunch in the room, a giant cost saver when there with six of us! We go to the local Publix our first day in town and stock up on water and food for the daytime, and ate in our favorite haunts at night (don't miss Blue Heaven, El Meson de Pepe's or Mangia Mangia!).

They have a lovely pool (and several resident cats), plus access to the beaches and water, with the bonus of being next to dog beach, where locals bring their dogs to play fetch and cool off. We had no problem parking (and we had a large Cadillac Escalade to manuever), mostly parking in the little underground lot, on the street a couple of times.

This trip was a rental of an owner's week, but we had such an incredible time we are highly considering purchasing a week or two at this resort for ourselves. At the very least, we'd absolutely rent here again! I suppose if there were any negatives, the porches are entirely shared, so if you're looking for privacy in an evening on a balcony, you are sort of sharing with your neighbors. The location is at a quieter part of the island, but we had a car and never had an issue with getting anywhere. Do carry lots of quarters for street parking, though after a while it's possible to find free parking if you're patient about looking.

We have been coming to Key West for years and could not be happier with this find--if you are considering Coconut Beach, you won't be disappointed. And don't forget to see Dominique and his Famous Flying Housecats during the sunset at Mallory Beach--he's one of the major highlights of our trip every year!
