About Me - Karey From Key West. The Island Girl Guide

Born and raised in Key West Florida, a true Conch, I have a lot of pride in my hometown.  When someone asks me about Key West, I love to share my own personal experiences and things I've learned throughout the years.  I like to help make their trip to Key West just a little more magical than it already will be. I finally decided to put it all in writing. 

This blog will be my outlet for all things Key West, plus other locations I have lived in or traveled to in Florida, the US and overseas. Check back for new content weekly. Thank you and enjoy ☺️

I have known about AirBnB and vacation rentals for a very long time, but I never used them or saw their value until recently.  Before AirBnB ever existed, my grandmother would hold large family gatherings usually at her house.  She had 6 children, their spouses and a slew of grandchildren all congregating in one place. One gathering she decided to have in Cocoa Beach and rented some connecting rooms at a beach front hotel.  It probably cost her a fortune. This Summer I was finally able to see the value.

In Cocoa Beach I stayed in 2 different houses. Both had a swimming pool and hot tub, both were one block from the beach and within walking distance to the Cocoa Beach Pier. One was for a smaller group and slept 8 people.  The other house was for a larger group and sl...
