Best for travelers who want a true oceanfront stay, extensive beachfront and family-friendly resort amenities.

Best for guests looking for modern design, on‑site marina access, and a Stock Island waterfront scene.
When Casa Marina Key West wins: choose Casa Marina if you want direct private beach access, a landmark property with restored 1920s character, a full-service spa (Spa al Maré) and multiple oceanfront pools that cater to families and adults separately.
When The Perry Hotel & Marina Key West wins: choose The Perry if you prefer a modern nautical hotel on Stock Island with an on-site marina, boutique-style rooms and a compact resort footprint focused on boating, two outdoor pools, and waterfront dining options.
Bottom line: both are 4-star resorts near the water, but they serve different tastes—Casa Marina for classic oceanfront resort life and larger event/family programming; The Perry for contemporary marina-side stays and boating access.
