Hawks Cay :: Duck Key, Florida

The Florida Keys are paradise on Earth; there’s certainly no disputing that. Watching the sun rise and set over turquoise blue green waters, fantastic fishing and delicious seafood; as well as plenty of good times to be had for nature buffs and party people alike. It’s hard to believe, but Hawks Cay on Duck Key, Florida has incorporated everything you could ever want to do in The Keys into one spectacular 60 acre island extravaganza. Go cheap or go big, it’s your choice. Want a simple queen bed overlooking one of their many pools? It’s right there waiting. What about a four bedroom 1700 square foot villa with its own heated splash pool? Yep, they’ve got that too. And you are guaranteed rich comforts regardless of what you pick. Whatever your desire or dream, the amiable and helpful staff at Hawks Cay are there to make it a reality.

So you’ve unpacked and explored your lodgings; what’s there to do now? The better question is what isn’t there to do? Is it raining? They’ve got a fantastic game room. Or, you can scamper over to the Calm Waters Spa to luxuriate in one of their Daily Exclusives (Tropical Toes Thursday? Yes, please!) or design your special treatment excursion; they’ve got six pages of awesome to choose from. Sunny day? The options are limitless. Lounge by the Adults Only pool (kids free not clothes free). Try your hand at SNUBA (a crazy fun combo of snorkeling and SCUBA diving, with no certification necessary). Take up a game of tennis. Go on a hike through a lush mangrove forest. Swim with dolphins. Heck, they even have kiteboarding! Whether it’s excitement and adventure or a relaxing renewal, Hawks Cay is ready for you. Treat yourself at the end of the day to any one of their five on site restaurants ranging from casual back yard cuisine to elegant island dining. Or enjoy a delicious meal from the comfort of your own luxuriously well appointed room. Regardless of how you start the day, the golden pink sunsets will ease you into your evening like nothing you’ve ever experienced.

When it comes to real estate, everyone knows the famous, “Location, location, location” rule. That’s where Hawks Cay really has you covered. They are dead center in the middle of the Florida Keys. So if on the very remote chance you actually do end up venturing off the island, you’re in the center of everything. Head south to Keys Fisheries (see full article here) or Key West or you can head north to Islamorada or Theatre of the Sea. Stay on the island for lots of great kid friendly activities too like Camp Hawk for the 12 and under crowd or AquaJam Teen Camp for kids ages 12 to 17. Both offer lots of family friendly fun for the kids while pooped parents can take a break and enjoy the warm Florida sun. With such a wide variety of things to do, your Hawks Cay vacation will be sure to please every member of the family.
