About this property
Original Tiki Suite — Unique Floating Bungalow on the water in Key West, FL
Leave reality behind and experience one of America's coolest overwater stays. Safely anchored on the shallow, pristine backcountry waters off Key West, the Original Tiki Suite balances the rugged thrill of boat life with the plush comforts of a luxury hotel. Built entirely by hand, this off-grid, secluded floating oasis offers 360-degree, uninterrupted views of the open ocean and absolute silence. There are no hotel hallways or crowds here—just you, your partner, and the clear blue horizon.
The Space
The structure features a towering, handcrafted authentic thatched tiki roof and premium hardwood floors. Three distinct sets of gorgeous open-air French doors frame a massive King-size bed, allowing you to catch gentle ocean breezes during the day and sleep under the stars at night.
While completely off-grid, you won’t sacrifice a single luxury. The Original Tiki is fully air-conditioned and features a built-in motorized smart TV that rises directly from the foot of your bed at the press of a button.
