These cottages sit on seven acres on a small island "a short boat ride from the craziness of Key West." Each pastel-colored abode is "both modern and period," with old Florida furnishings, Victorian tin roofs, and wraparound verandas. Latitudes serves local seafood: "Sitting outside as the sun set and with the torches lit was unbelievably romantic." The new Spa at Sunset Key offers a lavender and peppermint cooler wrap to combat sunburn.
