Key West-Style Homes

Key West, or Conch, cottages feature fanciful elements like slim columns topped with decorative wooden details. Tropical and playful hues express a carefree attitude.

Key West cottages are often surrounded by lathe-turned picket fences that wrap around the entire structure. Blooming bushes add a visual pop and fresh contrast to fancifully painted homes.

Large Key West resorts showcase seaside-inspired hues like light cerulean blue, pale salmon pink and sand-colored shades. Victorian gingerbread architecture, such as the hand-carved latticework and decorative porch brackets, accentuate the whimsical look of this house.

The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum is one of the main attractions in Key West's historic district. A verdant range of greenery lends this two-story Spanish Colonial a truly tropical feel.
