The service was over the top! From the front desk to the cleaning staff, everyone was friendly and always looking to do more. Room and hotel had a boutique feel that you don't see with the chain hotels. Also the location is ideal. One block off the action. Duval street is loud and crazy, but turn into the hotel and it suddenly becomes quite and comfortable. We will definitely be back

Absolutely loved our 5 night stay this past week at Orchid Key!! What a fabulous adult only boutique hotel located just steps off of Duval! We stayed in a Deluxe King the first night because we added on a night at the front end of our trip and it was just off of the pool area and very cozy. Loved the large shower and the room was so clean! Lots of fluffy towels and little extras like free waters and cookies and peppermints were left in the room. The rest of our stay was in a Deluxe King...

We stayed here on our way back from key west to lighten trip to FLL airport. We were in love with this place! Every thing about it, location, the high ceilings, the incredibly comfortable beds-the brand new smell of all dwellings. I also was in love with the toiletries that were provided!!! Never have I love a hotel toiletry before. All staff was very professional and friendly.

Wonderful trip. Great hotel but not for those who have issues with stairs unless they ask for one of the first floor rooms or bungalows. Would stay there again. Wish they served food though.

A beautiful, hidden gem right on the water. They have kayaks and paddleboards to use with no cost. Complimentary breakfast, smores and wine. Everything was cleaned well. All the staff was friendly and helpful, especially Ashley. We were beyond impressed with the communication and helpfulness.
We spoke to the gentleman who was renovating the rooms (even when he worked it was a quiet and peaceful place), and learned there will soon be a houseboat as a room to rent.

We stayed here for one night for my husband's 40th birthday. The hotel was aware we were celebrating an occasion and offered complimentary refreshment's in our room. We were able to check on early, got upgraded to pool view and also checked out late!

This was perfect for our family. We brought nanny, and got the two bedroom. Our young girls slept on the pull out couch. Pool is beautiful, cute bar. No beach… the pictures on the website trick you into thinking beach is right there. They also don’t clean your room everyday.

We stayed at this hotel several times. It is very nice, It’s nice that they have a separate area for adults.
They also have 3 in house places to eat, a tiki bar for lunch, a roof top for breakfast and bar in the evening and a restaurant for dinner (didn’t go to this one though).
They include free paddle boards and kayaks.
The rooms could have better A/C, they added another portable fan and seem to be having issues with A/C, hopefully will be resolved soon. Also they don’t have room service...

The grounds of the property are absolutely beautiful. The gardens are well-maintained and we loved perusing them. Both pool areas are wonderful, and the amenities such as the bathhouse, lounge, library, and BBQ area are first rate. The room was to our liking and matched the aesthetic of Key West. Walking distance to nearby attractions was approximately 10 minutes and very easy, and the bakery just down the street was wonderful for breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack. We will absolutely stay again...

Summer vacations in Florida Keys offers the ideal blend of relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable experiences for every type of traveler. With warm weather, vibrant festivals, scenic landscapes, and countless outdoor adventures, it's no surprise that Florida Keys is a popular summer vacation destination with prices starting low from $98.
Reasons to book a Summer Vacation in Florida Keys
Summer vacations offer the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable experiences. Whether you're looking to explore iconic attractions, discover local culture, or enjoy family-friendly activities, a summer vacation has something for families, couples and even solo travelers.
Where to stay in Florida Keys for a Summer Vacation
Choosing the right neighborhood can greatly improve your vacation. Areas close to your preferred activities and attractions can help you make the most of your trip, whether you're looking for relaxation, outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, family-friendly amenities, or vibrant nightlife. If convenience is a priority, central neighborhoods often provide easy access to popular attractions, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and local landmarks. Whether you prefer a quiet retreat or the energy of a bustling destination, find the ideal hotel for your summer vacation travel style and budget.
Rental amenities in Florida Keys for a Summer Vacation
Summer vacation hotels in Florida Keys offer a wide range of amenities designed to maximize comfort and convenience during the warmer months. Travelers can choose from resorts and hotels featuring swimming pools, air-conditioned rooms, spa facilities, fitness centers, and on-site restaurants.

Top hotels for a Summer Vacation in Florida Keys
The best type of hotel for a summer vacation depends on your travel style and priorities. Resorts are ideal for travelers seeking relaxation and resort-style amenities such as pools, spas, and other activities. City hotels are perfect for those who want to stay close to major attractions, restaurants, shopping districts, and nightlife, offering convenience and easy access to cultural landmarks. Families often benefit most from family resorts, which typically provide spacious rooms, children's pools, kids' clubs to keep them entertained, and activities designed for all ages. Whether you're dreaming of a laid-back escape, an action-packed city break, or a fun-filled family holiday, explore hotels to match every summer travel experience and make the most of your time away.
Best time to book a Summer Vacation in Florida Keys
For families planning a summer vacation in Florida Keys, the best time to visit balances weather, crowds, and cost. Peak summer generally combines warmest temperatures, school holiday timing, and the fullest range of activities and events, but it also comes with potentially higher prices. Shoulder periods and early or late summer often provide a great alternative, with pleasant weather, fewer tourists, and better availability while still offering most seasonal experiences. It's also worth considering local festivals and public holidays, which can add unique cultural highlights but may increase demand. Choosing the right travel window based on your priorities can help ensure a smoother, more enjoyable summer break.
Tips to Save on a Summer Vacation in Florida Keys
Book early for the best value. Securing your summer vacation in advance often unlocks lower prices, better room choices, and more flexible options. Early booking also helps you avoid peak-season price surges and gives you greater control over your itinerary.
Travel smart during shoulder dates. Choosing slightly earlier or later summer dates can reduce costs while still offering great weather and full access to attractions. This is one of the easiest ways to balance value with experience in Florida Keys.
Bundle your trip for extra savings. Look for packages on Expedia that combine flights, hotels, and sometimes transfers or activities which can often deliver better overall value than booking separately while simplifying your planning process.
Choose accommodation that matches your budget and needs. From family resorts to city hotels and beach stays, selecting the right type of hotel ensures that you only pay for the amenities you actually use. Many family-friendly and all-inclusive options also help you better manage daily spending while staying comfortable.
Why book with Expedia?
Booking your hotel on Expedia makes it easier to get more out of your trip from the start. With a wide choice of hotels, you can compare prices, reviews and amenities all in one place, then bundle your hotel with flights which could help you save even more. Flexible booking options on selected stays also make it easier to plan with confidence. Join our One Key™ travel rewards program to unlock additional savings. It's free to join.
