Cheeca Lodge Resort
The Cheeca Lodge Resort offers villas along with its standard hotel rooms. Guest who want a private villa will find themselves only steps away from the resort's oceanside pool. Further, if you care to go fishing or diving, charters can pick you up right from the resort, making it a convenient base for those types of activities. The resort has six lighted tennis courts and the Jack Nicklaus designed 9-hole, par 3 golf course.

Little Palm Island Resort & Spa
The Little Palm Island Resort & Spa is different from many resorts in the Keys, simply because its one-bedroom villas cannot be accessed from any roads. It is an island completely cut off from the Overseas Highway. If you are interested in outdoor activities like hiking, fishing or kayaking, this island can offer it all. Each Bahamian-inspired suite has a palm-thatched roof and grand suites even have an outdoor hot tub. There are no televisions or Internet access and the only access to a phone is at the front desk of the resort. Access to the resort is from Little Torch Key, which is less than 30 miles from the Key West Golf Club. Boats to Little Palm Island leave during normal business hours at the bottom of each hour.
