{"type":"city","city":"Key West","citySlug":"key-west-florida","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/united-states/florida/key-west-florida","description":"Stock Island sits just east of Key West proper, connected by a short causeway and separated by something harder to quantify — a working waterfront sensibility that Old Town, with its Conch houses and cruise ship crowds, traded away long ago. Shrimp boats still operate out of here. Lobster traps stack up along the docks. It is the part of the Florida Keys that hasn't yet been fully aestheticized, and both of the properties worth knowing in this corner of the archipelago have settled here rather than on Duval Street, which tells you something about where the more considered hospitality thinking is happening.\n\nOceans Edge Key West Resort Hotel & Marina anchors the southern end of Stock Island on the water, oriented around its marina infrastructure in a way that gives the property a functional, purposeful quality — this is a place built around actual boat access, not a decorative dock. At $303 a night in the splurge tier, it offers the full resort grammar: pools, waterfront rooms, the kind of layout that keeps you on property. The Perry Hotel Key West, a short distance away and operating at a slightly more accessible $243, reads differently. Its design leans into a deliberate nautical-industrial tone — corrugated metal, raw timber, a marina-facing restaurant — that feels calibrated to the neighborhood rather than imposed on it. It opened in 2017 as part of a broader repositioning of Stock Island as a destination in its own right, and it's been largely successful at that project, drawing a crowd that comes specifically for the looseness of the place rather than despite it.\n\nThe honest case for staying on Stock Island over Old Town is not just about price or design — it's about what kind of Key West experience you're actually after. The Conch Republic mythology, the Hemingway tourism, the sunset ritual at Mallory Square: all of that remains accessible by a short drive or bike ride. But returning to Stock Island at the end of the day means returning to something quieter and less performed. Both the Perry and Oceans Edge understand this positioning intuitively, and neither tries to replicate the Victorian gingerbread aesthetic of the island's historic center. In a place as thoroughly storied as Key West, that restraint is itself an editorial statement.","provider":{"name":"PressBeyond","url":"https://pressbeyond.com","description":"PressBeyond provides AI-optimized hotel content with a consistent 5-image structure across its entire portfolio.

The three-storey property, with 100 rooms arranged in low-slung wings around a central pool courtyard, draws its character from this maritime industrial context rather than running from it. The exterior elevation visible in the images shows warm terracotta-toned cladding panels punctuating white rendered balcony decks, triangular canopy fins angled above each room to manage the subtropical sun — a geometry that carries something of the mid-century Florida motel tradition updated with sharper detailing.\n\nInside, the rooms take a pragmatic approach: wood-effect tile flooring in grey-washed tones, chunky dark-stained platform beds with leather-panel headboards set against whitewashed shiplap wall panels, and panoramic photography of Caribbean waters hung horizontally above the bedline. The casual register continues through the restaurant, where reclaimed timber wall cladding and an exposed open kitchen with a blackboard menu listing fresh fish and oysters give the dining room the atmosphere of a well-designed fish shack rather than resort hotel food and beverage. The aerial view confirms the organizing logic of the property — a lap pool at the centre, wrapped in coconut palms and white-canopied sun loungers, with guest room balconies on all sides turning inward to face the water.","snippet":"A 100-room hotel on Key West's working waterfront with mid-century motel geometry and a fish-focused restaurant.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts seeking authentic waterfront character","vibe":"Industrial-maritime · understated","highlights":["Mid-century Florida motel geometry with contemporary detailing","Working waterfront location on Stock Island, not tourist strip","Open-kitchen restaurant serving fresh fish and oysters daily"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$231","pricePerNightExclTax":"$231","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uje6603bt15ymwcn3id3i1713357404135_59662493-2789-4fe9-aa65-d3efee8d8c30.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"The Perry Hotel Key West — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · The Perry Hotel Key West · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of The Perry Hotel Key West captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujk1t04df15ymhzrid3bf1713357404785_9fc7585f-55c2-421f-b970-76d74f2dc407.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"The Perry Hotel Key West — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · The Perry Hotel Key West · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at The Perry Hotel Key West, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujpvf05f715ym59mpg31n1713357405437_9413f69f-98e1-4680-9e8d-72c567018333.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"The Perry Hotel Key West — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · The Perry Hotel Key West · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at The Perry Hotel Key West — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujvti06h115ymp3sbx39f1713357402788_f13670a9-96f6-4ffb-8b67-751a93d6d2d6.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"The Perry Hotel Key West — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · The Perry Hotel Key West · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at The Perry Hotel Key West, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uk1mu07it15ym6a4o4cf61713357406259_bad48f8b-1bf9-4d88-a286-61463bedc34e.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"The Perry Hotel Key West — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · The Perry Hotel Key West · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at The Perry Hotel Key West — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/united-states/florida/key-west-florida/oceans-edge-key-west-resort-hotel-and-marina","city":"Key West","cityHeader":"Key West • Stock Island • SPLURGE","neighborhood":"Stock Island","loyaltyProgram":"I Prefer","designSummary":"Stock Island sits just one mile northeast of Key West's famous Duval Street chaos, close enough to feel the energy of the Conch Republic but removed enough to remember that the Florida Keys were once primarily a working waterfront. Oceans Edge Key West Resort Hotel & Marina was purpose-built on this quieter stretch of shoreline, its three-story white clapboard buildings arranged around a marina basin in a vernacular that borrows from the island's historic Conch architecture — tiered balconies with Chippendale-style railings, louvered shutters, and a crisp white-on-white palette anchored by cobalt blue umbrellas and woven resin loungers at the pool deck.\n\nInside, the 175 rooms carry the same restrained coastal register: deep navy diamond-patterned carpeting, white shaker-style millwork with louvered cabinet fronts, and beds dressed in white with navy-bordered linens. Large-format botanical canvases — close-cropped coconut palms painted in saturated greens — give the rooms their one gesture of tropicality. The balconies, most of them overlooking open water or the marina slips below, frame views of the Gulf and a distant Miami skyline that clarify exactly where you are. The marina-side restaurant, fitted with coffered tongue-and-groove ceilings, oversized plantation fans, and French bistro chairs in natural rattan, keeps the waterfront permanently in view through retractable canvas walls — a room that feels more like a well-appointed dock pavilion than a hotel dining room, which, in Key West terms, is precisely the point.","snippet":"Stock Island resort with full-service marina, Conch-style architecture, and waterfront dining overlooking the Gulf.","bestFor":"Boaters and waterfront-focused travelers","vibe":"Working-waterfront · refined","highlights":["Full-service marina with 175 slips and fuel dock","Conch-style architecture with tiered balconies and Gulf views","Marina-side restaurant with retractable canvas walls"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$288","pricePerNightExclTax":"$288","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uje6203bn15ymww9yrxdx1713355934833_f0baf3ac-4d6d-473c-82f4-5c17a4b044dd.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujk2904dh15ymc51u62lc1713355935499_68fe25da-9900-49b1-933c-9f9426c18a38.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujpvg05f915ymmqa0dzyc1713355936092_a83f84a5-3d80-4d02-82f1-b47a58bf22b7.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujvua06h715ym2mx7316y1713355933591_edb5852b-4a44-426c-90ad-6cafda84a41d.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uk1ob07iz15ymapo0doaa1713355936787_f5c0bbf8-47fa-412b-80da-8b383dbc2832.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]}]}
