"At the edge of Old Key West, Island House Key West is found among the island’s residential cluster of historic homes and inns along Fleming Street. Key West has long been a refuge for those rebelling against imposed social norms and, as such, has reigned a popular destination for the gay community since the 1970s. While most resorts nowadays in Key West are predictably mainstream and family-friendly, the adults-only, clothing-optional Island House Resort Key West is a testament to the island’s progressive, free-spirited ethos. If you’re not a gay man, look elsewhere; but if you are and desire a vibrant, 39-room haven with hedonistic overtones, reconsider the area's heteronormative hotel choices and check into the Island House." - Paul Rubio, Nancy DePalma
