Parrot Key Hotel & Villas
Key West, FL, Florida · $$$ · FamilyFactor 84/100
A quieter, condo-style alternative to Duval Street-area Key West hotels, with four pools, spacious villa units that genuinely accommodate families of 4–6, and a Gulf-front setting that trades Old Town walking access for significantly more breathing room — one of Key West's most family-practical configurations.

The Reach Key West, Curio Collection by Hilton
Key West, FL, Florida · $$$$ · FamilyFactor 78/100
One of Key West's few properties with a genuine sandy beach on the Atlantic side of the island, steps from Smathers Beach and within walking or biking distance of Old Town — a strong family pick when location and actual beach access matter more than room size.

Southernmost Beach Resort
Key West, FL, FL · $$$ · FamilyFactor 74/100

Hyatt Centric Key West Resort & Spa
Key West, FL, FL · $$$ · FamilyFactor 70/100
