About this property
Sunset Serenade | Sunset Key Private Island Retreat with Rooftop Deck
Private island living just minutes from Key West.
Located on the exclusive island of Sunset Key, Sunset Serenade is a 2BR/2.5BA tropical retreat designed for guests seeking a quieter, more elevated Key West experience. Accessible only by private guest ferry, the home combines relaxed Caribbean style with resort-style amenities, a shared oasis-style pool, and a private rooftop deck made for sunset evenings.
From morning coffee beneath the palms to evenings overlooking the island sky from the rooftop deck, Sunset Serenade offers a slower pace while remaining only minutes from Old Town Key West.
Sleeps up to 6 Guests

- Access to resort amenities and island services
- Steps from white sand beaches and tropical walking paths
- Minutes from Duval Street and Old Town
The Sunset Key Experience
The first time you arrive in Key West, it already feels like the end of the road. But standing at Mallory Square during sunset, looking just offshore, you notice a small tropical island lined with palms and elegant island homes. That is Sunset Key.
A short ferry ride transports you into a completely different atmosphere. The pace softens. The noise disappears. Surrounded by tropical landscaping, ocean breezes, and quiet pathways, the island feels calm, secluded, and distinctly separate from downtown Key West.
Sunset Serenade is located within The Overlook, a peaceful collection of private residences centered around a beautifully landscaped shared pool.
Guests enjoy access to Sunset Key`s manicured grounds, tennis courts, concierge services, island security, and the award-winning waterfront restaurant, Latitudes.
Living Spaces
Inside, the home embraces classic Caribbean island style with hardwood flooring, French doors, coastal furnishings, and cheerful tropical accents throughout.
The open-concept main level was designed for easy indoor-outdoor living. Multiple sets of sliding glass doors connect the great room to the outdoor porch spaces, allowing sunlight and tropical breezes to move naturally through the home.
The living room offers comfortable seating, including a queen sleeper sofa for additional guests, while the nearby dining area and breakfast bar create an easy flow for gathering, dining, and entertaining.
An additional office workspace provides a practical setup for guests planning an extended stay or remote work getaway.
Kitchen & Dining
The custom kitchen combines island charm with thoughtful functionality.
Features include:
- Granite countertops
- Stainless steel appliances
- Cottage-style cabinetry
- Breakfast bar seating
- Walk-in pantry
- In-home washer and dryer
Whether preparing breakfast before the beach or evening cocktails before sunset, the space is designed to feel comfortable and connected.
