The Coral Hammock is a great place to stay in Key West. The townhomes are nicely appointed with a full kitchen and nice sized living area. Ours had a nice selection of comfy furniture and we could easily live in the townhome. Ours was a three bedroom unit and the master bathroom had a huge tub and a huge seperate shower. It felt like we were staying at a someone's house. There was plenty of furniture and the interior decor was very tropical. The beds were very comfortable and the a patio was connected to our bedroom where we could sit on breezy afternoons. The kitchen had modern appliances and we even cooked a dinner meal after a snorkeling trip to Dry Tortugas left us too tired to go out. I advise bringing your own supplies (cofee, sugar packets, etc) or buying them from Safeway as the kitchen had nothing stocked. The AC system worked very well and kept it very cool on the humid nights. There is usually enough parking in the area, only when we came back in the evening did we have to park a little further out. The townhomes are well kept and the bright colors are a nice touch.

Yes, the location is outside of Key West proper so I definately recommend renting a car or a moped (easier to park). The drive to Duval street took about 15-30 minutes depending on traffic.

As we were there with my inlaws, the townhome gave us enough room for 5 people. I would recommend this for families as it would allow everyone to have their own bedroom. My in-laws rented this as a part of their time share vacation club, and I don't know the exact rates but I was told it was quite affordable and more competive than some of the hotels in Key West. They rent the units out to non-timeshare people so don't let that deter you. I was told many of the units are rented on long term basis by retirees escaping Northern winters (1-6 months), so it is very quiet at night. I would advise against having a large party there because the residents would not allow it. If you want wild nightlife, this probably isn't the place for you.

I recommend Dry Tortugas for snorkeling (it is a long boat ride but the snorkeling is second only to Maui). Also there are many great restaurants, too many to mention. By the Safeway is a small Italian pizza joint with incredibly good pizzas (New York style pizzas) for a low price. We went there twice because their slices of pizza are huge. I am sorry but I forgot the name. Overall this a great property and perfect place for a relaxing Key West vacation.
