Sunny at Sunset Key Guest Cottages

A private island, Sunset Key Guest Cottages, provides the best of both worlds – privacy, and a mere boatride away from all the action of mainland Key West. / K&S Media

My friends and I settle in as if the cottage were our own private home – separate bedrooms and bathrooms, a spacious balcony and televisions in nearly every room provide privacy and give us enough space to have personal time.

While every morning we convene in the upstairs kitchen and dining area to enjoy the fresh pastries, yogurt, fruit and orange juice that are delivered to our front porch. It’s a sort of warm hug that gets us geared up for our day. Afternoons are spent relaxing indoors sipping chilled wine and chatting in the living room.

What to Wear to Sunset Key Guest Cottages in the Florida Keys.
Travel and style go hand in hand. Picture the lush sub-tropical beauty of the Florida Keys the backdrop to a secluded private island getaway. Let City Style and Living Magazine The Editor’s Notebook transport you to whitewashed cottages punctuated with ocean views. The style? Breezy island vibe in rich tropical colours.
Most days, the large pool, adjacent to our cottage is busy with guests wading in the water or laying on deck chairs. Other days we join young men playing volleyball on a spit of sand while or swim on the private beach.
Sunset Key gets its name from the unbelievable views of the fading sun. Latitudes, the island’s hallmark restaurant, is positioned to maximize the views of this daily ritual. This is the place to dine and watch the sunset. Every evening the restaurant is packed with couples, and large parties toting cameras to capture the moment when a sepia hued ocean framed by palm trees swallows the sun.
