Spent a long weekend in Key West from February 26th through March 1st. It was a girl's weekend and we all flew in from different locations in the North. I picked Santa Maria based on reviews here and we weren't disappointed. The week before our stay, when the manager called to see if we needed anything or had any questions, I e-mailed a grocery list. I was the first to arrive and everything was waiting for me, either in the fridge or on the counter. Perfect. When my friends arrived we were able to have some wine and appetizers and just relax.
What I loved was that we had a full kitchen, living room, decks 2 full bedrooms and 2 and a half baths. Even though we had the amenities of a rented house or condo, we had all the services a hotel provides. My idea of a vacation does not include cleaning! The staff was very helpful and attentive (particularly around the pool). The beds were very comfortable and the sheets and towels were a good quality. While there is wireless internet, it is not fast and sometimes you can't get on at all. We found there was one spot on the sofa in the living room where you had to sit to get a decent connection.
The Santa Maria Suites were very quiet and relaxing but fun and excitement were definitely within walking distance. Also within walking distance...Spent a long weekend in Key West from February 26th through March 1st. It was a girl's weekend and we all flew in from different locations in the North.

I would definitely stay here again. Please note my 3 friends flew into Miami, rented a car and drove down. I flew into Key West. I arrived 4 hours before them. The flight directly into Key West is worth it!More
