My boyfriend and I got a great deal on a room at the Lighthouse Court the week before Christmas. The property is really cute, the staff is very friendly and you can't beat the location.
Couple of hints - the superior queen rooms all seem to face the street and during busy seasons I am sure could be a bit noisy. These rooms also seem to get a lot of light from the street lights so the room was never completely dark. I would upgrade to the King rooms since those all seem to face the pool.
The Lighthouse Court is right across the street from the Hemingway House and one block off Duval. It's about 8-10 blocks from Mallory Square (a must for sunsets) and about 4 blocks from the Southern Most Point marker. Excellent location for getting around!
According to a travel book I read this property use to be the place to stay for gay men, but it is not like that any more. It is geared to couples and all rooms (I think) are double capacity only. There are also single, budget room options.
Hint for Key West - rent bikes! Parking is limited so once you park your car (leagally) leave it and get around on bikes. There are dozens of places to rent bikes and there are bike racks everywhere you go to secure your bike.
