Coconut Beach Resort is an oasis of calm in the otherwise faster but still laidback pace of Key West. Our second floor two bedroom unit looked out on the pool and the Sandy beach of the Atlantic. Except for a child on the third floor that ran around on our first night well into 11pm, the unit was quiet and peaceful. The kitchen enabled us to enjoy leisurely breakfasts and lunches inside or on the deck overlooking the ocean. The electric grills down in the pool area worked well for grilling two dinners we ate in residence. The interior of our unit showed its age with repairs and modifications too blatantly revealing their past history via poorly sparkled walls and sloppy painting and with most of the furniture looking like it is ready to take up residence in Goodwill. We were told upgrades are coming later this year. The resort is ideally situated for easy bipedal access to Duval and Simonton and is surrounded to the generalized west with a variety of quality, relatively inexperienced restaurants, art galleries and shops. My wife enjoyed her morning walks to the pier just north of the resort. Coconut Beach’s location could not be better to access the best of Key West.
