During the summer months in the Florida Keys, the islands transform into a haven for those who seek the sun, sea and a slice of maritime paradise. It's a time when the pace slows, the streets buzz with energy, and the ocean becomes a playground for adventurers and relaxation seekers alike. The Perry Hotel & Marina, located on Stock Island, invites boaters to celebrate the summer season in the Keys.

From The Waterway Guide Community

"I live-aboard here on Coconut Row. Outstanding community of live aboards who all enjoy the amenities of the entire marina (including free hourly downtown shuttle service--you can get dropped off/picked up at grocery store, doctor, etc). Gym, 2 pools, 3 bars (each with own happy hour that don't conflict with each other), full mail and package services, laundry and clean showers. We've been here 2 years and have compared alot of Keys marinas...none come even close."

"We stopped here overnight on our way to Tortuga. This is now my Key West marina. It has several dining options, pools with a bar, hammocks, green spaces, and is just pretty."
