Saddlebunch Key(s)

We are located on Saddlebunch Key, the last land mass still considered Key West by zip code. Close enough to get to all the action in KW, but far enough away to avoid crowds and the craziness of Duval. You will probably want to rent a car while you are here, but Uber and Lyft is easy to book. 

 

Locating our key

  • Most locals know our key as “Baypoint”, or where Baby’s Coffee is located
