About this place Island House Key West

Island House is the most complete all-male resort in Key West — a self-contained gay men's destination on Fleming Street that operates as both a hotel and a social club, with facilities that make it unnecessary to leave the property if you prefer not to. The clothing-optional pool is the social centre of the complex; the jacuzzi, sauna, and gym are additional amenities that distinguish Island House from the island's gay guesthouses. The café serves breakfast and poolside food and drink throughout the day. The clientele is the full range of gay male visitors to Key West — couples, groups of friends, solo travellers — who prefer the company of an exclusively male environment and the freedom that clothing-optional status provides. The Fleming Street location is one block from Duval, giving the resort immediate access to the nightlife strip while providing enough separation for the resort to have a distinct, quieter identity. Island House is consistently ranked among the top gay resorts in the United States by the publications and websites that cover gay travel. For gay male visitors to Key West who want the full resort experience in a dedicated environment, Island House is the correct choice.

I will forever love my times at IH. This place (celebrating 50 Years!) has been a cornerstone of my open and free gay life… the folks who run it, and the beautiful generous men who visit it, are one of a kind. Community. Joy. Freedom. Respect. FUN. They’re here. I’m grateful. Happy 50th!
