COCONUT MALLORY RESORT AND MARINA, Key West

The resort is situated in a quieter, less touristy part of Key West, offering a peaceful retreat while still being close to the main attractions. Duval Street is about 3 km away, an easy 10-minute drive or a short Uber ride. The Key West International Airport is just 2 km south, and the Key West Shipwreck Museum is within 8 minutes' drive. The Audubon House and Gardens is 6 km away. The marina and boat docks provide direct water access, and a scooter or bicycle is a practical way to explore the area and reach the beaches and historic sites.

Accommodations range from studio units with a kitchenette (two-burner stovetop) to spacious one-bedroom and two-bedroom condos with a full kitchen including a refrigerator, microwave, tea and coffee maker, and cookware. The two-bedroom units feature two separate bathrooms with a bath or shower and free toiletries, and a living area with a fold-out sofa bed to sleep up to 6 guests. Some units have a private balcony or patio, often overlooking the marina or pool. Units are generally clean and well furnished, with a beachy or classic Florida decor. Rooms are air-conditioned with heating, and have a flat-screen TV with cable channels. Not all units face the same way - those near the main road may experience some traffic noise, so a room away from the street is a good idea for light sleepers. The two-story condos require climbing stairs to reach the upper bedrooms, so a ground-floor unit is available upon request.

The property has a bar located at the boathouse, which offers limited snack items and hosts periodic activities such as cookouts and karaoke - check the chalkboard upon arrival for the schedule. There is no full restaurant or formal dining service on site, but each unit comes with a full kitchen (studio units have a kitchenette) ideal for preparing meals. BBQ facilities and a picnic area with outdoor furniture are available for guest use. For those wanting to eat out, several dining options are a short drive away, including Taco Grilla 1 km from the resort.

The resort features two outdoor pools - one of which is equipped with a pool lift for accessibility - and a hot tub. The pools are open from sunup to sundown. The on-site marina provides direct water access and boat slip rentals (additional fee based on length per day). Bicycles and kayaks are available for rent at the boathouse. Fishing is a popular activity, and the nearby beaches are just a short ride away. Coin-operated laundry is available in each building for guest convenience. The property also has a small gym and a games area.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. Parking is private and on-site, but requires a reservation and incurs a charge. The two-story buildings are equipped with elevators. A grocery delivery service is available for an additional charge, helpful for stocking the kitchen upon arrival. The front desk team can assist with local transportation and activity recommendations. Coin-operated laundry rooms are located in each building. The on-site bar has a pool table. The resort does not have a full restaurant, spa, or airport shuttle. Luggage storage and late check-out are not standard services and should be requested in advance.
