Lodging Options
Staying in Key west is an amazing experience. There are many options ranging from houses, condos, boats, campgrounds, motels and hotels. Some of these options are not cheap and others are very affordable. The most affordable options are to rent condos on airbnb or VRBO. You can get a condo on Stock Island with 3 bedrooms, a pool, kitchen, 3 baths for only $300/night. If you share with friends & Family this can be the most affordable option. Since Key West is the place to be for the New Year, rooms can fill up and become more expensive as you get closer, so book early! You can fly (or drive) right into Key West. If you stay near Duval St. you will not need a car to get everywhere you need to go. Closer to the airport and beaches or on other Keys, you will need transport. Parking is at a premium on the island. Most parking is pay to park. There is very little parking next to the venue. We will provide transport to the venue from The Watson House and designated hotels ( TBA). There is a free shuttle called the Duval Loop that will get you to all the major tourist places, the venue, the house where the bride & groom are and more. Walking, bike rentals, scooter rentals and golf cart rentals are also available as fun transportation alternatives.
Where the bride & groom are stayingThe Watson HouseWe rented an 11 bedroom 11 bathroom house in Key West for the wedding. There are spaces available for rooms. The house is only 2 blocks from Duval Street and 5 blocks from the wedding venue. You will not need a car to get around.

If you are staying in the Watson House for the week or just want the full week of vacation...December 27 - January 3 are the dates. Flights are much less expensive on those dates, but choose your own. Flights on Dec. 30 - January 2 are double the cost of flights on January 3. Group flights are not any cheaper than booking your own flights. You can also decide on your own times to fly in and out. Delta has the best flights available right now. You can choose to fly into Key West or fly into Miami and drive down the keys. It is a beautiful 3 hour drive. Most of the way is a 2-4 lane highway (route 1) with beautiful ocean on both sides.
