We’re a locally owned hospitality company based in beautiful Key West, Florida. We created Tiki Suites to offer something truly different — an experience that blends adventure, privacy, and the natural beauty of the Florida Keys.
As lifelong lovers of the water, boating, and island living, we wanted to design a stay that feels immersive and unforgettable. Hosting allows us to share the magic of sleeping under the stars, waking up on the water, and enjoying some of the most spectacular sunsets in the world.
Our goal is simple: provide a safe, comfortable, and one-of-a-kind stay that guests will talk about long after they leave.
Why they chose this property
Our floating suites are anchored in the shallow turquoise waters just off Key West — far enough to feel private and peaceful, yet close enough to enjoy everything the island has to offer.
We chose this location for its calm waters, breathtaking sunsets, marine life, and constant ocean breeze. It offers the perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility. Guests are transported by boat to the suite, creating a true escape while still being minutes from world-class dining, Duval Street nightlife, and Key West attractions.
There’s nothing quite like falling asleep surrounded by open water and waking up to panoramic Gulf views.
