The Key West Experience

[@adventuresofohana1716]

We lived on our sailboat in Key West from August 2018 to March 2019. Loved every second! Irish Kevin's was our fave! My husband worked at the World's Smallest Bar briefly while I worked at Kermits Key Lime Shoppe. Cannot wait to visit there again!

[@MrKit9]

Isn't Kermit great!

[@paulluedtke]

Fun to see it more depth. Wife and I rode around the island on a scooter. Saw the southern most point. Saw the Hemingway House and the Truman House. Sadly, didn't get to any of those cool eaterys or Duvall Street. Thanks

[@TheCorbinpilo]

Loved it all. Key West is an amazing place. There's still magic in Key West if you explore. Btw, we LOVE Blue Heaven and many of the places you visited.

[@bdjm8595]

Fun video, we visited the Keys on the cheap. We flew into Miami rented a SUV and slept in the back in bar parking lots all the way down the Keys and back, one of our favorite vacations!! It was cool to see the sights in your video that we had visited a on that trip!!

[@staceyrosenblum7660]

My husband, daughter and I went to Key West Feb ‘19 and had a blast for the 3 days we were there! Some highlights were A Sunset cruise, dinner at Blue Heaven, the butteryfly conservatory and Smather’s beach. Can’t wait to go back !!! Loved it there!!! Thanks for the tip of the run distillery and the Cuban coffee place for next time !!

[@bobdillon1312]

I was just in The Keys on a Motorcycle. Wish I had watched your video before.. Great job,, really enjoyed... thanks

[@stinkintoad]

I was stationed in the coast guard there in the 80s. Its changed a lot! Lots of cool memories.

[@TheBowen747]

the bull whistle bar hell yea . celebrated my bday in my bday suit there on that roof top years back..lol hoping to be there next year in a sailboat too..lol fair winds and fallowing seas...

[@markaolson3]

Well done! We’ve been to Key West 7-8 times, including Fantasy Fest couple of years ago (post Irma); we love Key West and are missing it so very much - your video was like going there! You captured the spirit of the place in amazing breadth; the only things I’d add would be Hemingway’s house, the Truman White House, the Butterfly place, La Ti Da!, and the Farmer’s Market once a month near the dog park... gosh we miss KY!

[@carljenkins7354]

My favorite part of this video is the awkwardness of the young couple! Lol When you've already binged all of the 2021 videos, you gotta go BACK IN TIME!

[@sc1212able]

Super nice job of showcasing Key West, excellent video and editing work, we live in Nashville, but we keep our sailboat, a Dana 24, in a slip at Key West municipal marina, my girlfriend teaches at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, so we can only travel from May to August, we usually just sail the Florida coastlines, all the outer islands around the keys including the Dry Tortugas and depending on the weather and hurricane activity we do go to the Bahamas quite often.........

[@ralphholiman7401]

We did the tandem bike thing in Key West, too. Easiest way to get around by far! Enjoyed your video!

[@jimstruve8717]

Loved the video. Me and my wife are going down there next week for a little vacation. Haven't been there in 38 years!

[@richardboody6709]

That you for the local video I think it was very informative and it was well done.

[@TheAwetist802]

Great video! Would love to see a locals only video... Like a few people here, I lived in KW. 2001-2003 (inclusive). Many of the locals-oriented spots that I knew are gone (R.I.P Java Lounge) and Key West seems a lot more gentrified now but something about KW and its magic will always remain. Would love to see the place from your eyes.

[@dkarukas]

Word of advice. If you visit Key West for a three or four day weekend vacation don't plan it too far in advance. I planned my trip in July for a 3 day weekend for early December and a freak tropical system just sat there and it rained on my entire trip.

[@rumblechick73]

I lived in Miami from 1950 to 1998, spent quite a bit of time in the Keys. But the drive down from Miami was a total drag even before all the traffic there is now. Back then it was a 2 lane road for about 100 miles.

[@stephensmalldridge9504]

You guys are already the best sailing couples channel going... My only displeasure is that electronic background music everyone uses I'm sure some love it, but Its like a Chinese water torture to me lol Key West has always been crazy In 1972 I was only 16 but already a shrimpboat capt and used to set in sloppy joes and drink.. Know asked or cared lol

[@sawmill123456]

You can't go wrong with Key West a good party town! I always liked the cat guy at Mallory square. He has house cats jumping through rings of fire!!! I was down there a month ago and he's still there. I use to go there in the early 70's we'd drink all the way down the overseas hwy. There was Rastaman who was a contortionist he could fold himself up in a little box. It was amazing! And Fantasy Fest it Great!!! OM KALI MA!

[@patrickvale196]

I never even thought of visiting Key West and now it is on my to do list! (long way from Aus!) Love the 'did it all in one day' experience. I love going hard on holidays! (need a holiday after tho!)

[@Grit489]

Really enjoyed this video hope to get down there in 2020, you folks are a nice couple best of luck !

[@cherylrodgers3096]

Make sure you can rent a boat from air b n b.

[@rickthibodeau9172]

I love the excitement of Mallory Square at sunset!

[@mmmdesignllc]

JUST Found you guys. I spent a lot of time in KW a couple of decades ago with my dad and his Yawl. It was nice to see what had changed downtown, it's gotten more congested since I was last there. We anchored where you guys are but closer to the Island to the west. We always worried about getting our dingy stolen but we never locked it. I guess it was different back then. Anyway, not to encourage the alcohol consumption but I'm with ya. Enjoy life.

[@reloadncharge9907]

Fun video. Enjoy you guys, your laid back yet upbeat attitudes, and will look forward to seeing you in the Bahamas! Duval is a blast...perhaps plan a day when there are not 2 cruise ships in!

[@wildesilv1048]

Nice video! ... Kristen, when you where up in the light house and you moved the camera right to left to get a panoramic view, do it slowly. Cameras are usually not very good at picking stuff far away when moved too quickly. ... Keep up the great work guys!!

[@Chris_in_fremantle]

Great video. THX, Liked the open air bars.

[@rickhackworth7229]

Have never been to the keys....Im going now, thanks....

[@mr.g3450]

LOVE KEY WEST, never gets old, go there about 2-3x per year.

[@BarTabMag]

The 'Key West Bar Card' is a great way to have fun and save a lot of $$$. Gets you any drink 2-4-1 at nearly 20 bars and restaurants daily. They also have a Restaurant Card and an Activities card to save more cash.

[@arottie4097]

Good stuff guys. Never made my way down that far. Getting there by sailboat as opposed to car i'm thinking might be Hmmm? I bit mo~betta!! Ha! Thanx for the tour of the place. Keep on keepin on. See ya next episode.

[@MrRJBooth]

Ace vlog guys an many fanx for sharing . Love to go to the keys one day

[@bettytillery7305]

Im so happy i saw the word Gypsy on there!!! U nvr cease to amaze me the way u snuck that in there...i loved the entire video...but that part really touched my 💙...luv it!!!

[@HaroldjUSMC]

Best video I’ve seen so far I’m going down this summer for 3 days you guys got me more excited than i already am

[@joenanigian7467]

Been a lover and visitor for years. I'm not a local but I feel like one. I would love to see a locals video.!

[@waynedoeblin6801]

I have a bit of a thing for the furtherest points of a continent,so this is an interesting video👍 I also like a good light house,video is scoring well so far😉 Tandem bikes scare me somewhat,but I do like cycling,and sunsets are magic👍 See you next time 😊

Nice travel tips for #keywest would love to fly over. From a Norwegian subscriber🇳🇴

[@rockywiley9547]

Lived In K W 3 and half years compliments of Uncle Sam....didn't realize what I had till I was gone...and out of service...Been back on fly in to Lauderdale then drive down in convert. with styro cooler and a few iced down brews...that is really a fun trip...get to see the other keys...which is interesting....

[@endofsociety]

Love key West can't wait to go back. The keys are the only place I like to spend my vacation in.

[@endofsociety]

@Bobon Meiknob I've been all over the u.s. I love my vacations to be tropical without leaving the country. The weather, the people and island life. That's why it's my favorite place to be

[@rvsorce7196]

@@endofsociety Try the U.S.V.I. or maybe something in a different ocean your still in the U.S. just don't fall in the liquid rock.

[@Agrippa666]

Omg Cuban coffee queen is so good!!!

[@StevenPendleton]

Loved your quick little tour!

[@burtonjackson9966]

I agree with the Flying Monkey....still have them cups!!! Duvall Crawl can take a day in itself :)

[@johnriley4311]

Make sure you check out the Jet Ski Tour, one of the best ways see the island. If it your first trip to Key West a great way to get familiar with the island! It is a 2-hour, 26 Mile tour of Key West’s coastline with several stops along the way. Get educated on Key West’s history, the landmark’s, the beaches & some of the best places to visit. The trip took us around the entire coast, past landmarks & historical sites also in between the islands and through the mangroves. The name of the company that does the tour is Barefoot Billy’s and I recommend the tour to anyone visiting Key West.

[@robertmurray1614]

Always wanted to get down there, I'm up in Pensacola. Favorite thing as always would be Kristen's smile,. Thank you for sharing.

[@travelscoutsunplugged]

Great vid! We just returned from a cruise to Key West and vlogged it! (We are new to this.... lol) Love your video! This is SO good!

[@ASShaver2323]

Definitely do a locals only video! I would love to see where you guys end up 😊😁😎 😍

[@jimmyt5241]

Key west is awesome I'm here now, ate at blue heaven 😉👍went north of Duval street was a parade and the harbors are beautiful. Today we plan to go to bahia honda beach loving this !!!

[@jayfigg7981]

I saw your grocery run and the "selective law enforcement" is one of the main reasons I left after living there for years. But I am glad to see you had fun there too.

[@r-fw-bpk1109]

Lived in the Lower Keys for 19 years. Key West is a great place to visit & have fun. The best Key West adult deal of the year is Fantasy Fest, in late Oct. Be open minded & ready for fun, don't bring your kids as it's "R" rated. The rest of the Keys are great fun, beautiful views & sun sets, lots of fishing, diving, & lots of great bars & fun places. ...... bring $$$ as everything is costly.

[@terrystringer8992]

We enjoy Key West and coming again soon for the lobster catching fun. We have been to most of the locations you mentioned...including Garden of Eden, which was kind of fun...but will need to try the lighthouse and Flying Monkey for sure. I hope to find your locals video soon before our trip.

[@MrsMillerB]

Going to key west for the first time next month. Loved the video, thanks for the tips!

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

You're gonna love it!!

[@duuber286]

You Guys are living a dream. Try around Upper Sugarloaf Key and try Mangrove Moma's

[@billyquinn1864]

god I love keywest was there 1958 to 1982 I am in the Philippines now you guys have fun

[@toml8227]

I was there in 2015 and going again this November (2019)

[@juanzeer2850]

Great Videos and editing... you guys are Hilarious great work. good luck

[@rickdee67]

Lucky guy! Be there next week!

[@stevesmith8107]

Hell yeah love blue heaven. Best fish taco up at Geiger key.

[@hebelson444]

Get a shot of Hemingway's house ! and all the roaming cats.

[@lonniepee9804]

I was in Key West in '82. Sorry I didn't catch you there. ;-)

[@brianwaldron1391]

Decided to go check it out. Not bad if you want a drinking vacation. Walk around all day with drinks in your hand and bars don't make a fuss when you sit down with a drink from another place. Super expensive to eat and drink in most places $100 for lunch for 2 people is not uncommon.

[@hrm350694]

Fort Kent, ME is the other end of US1. Spent 5.5 yrs. in Key West while on active duty.

[@traceraley9249]

I just happened upon your videos about two weeks ago. Really good narrating a filming. Looking forward to the next one 😎

[@jasonkennedy3408]

I didn’t get to see the light house when I went to the keys I wish I would have been watching your videos when I went there so I knew more stuff to do

[@terrimanis6019]

Love to see a locals show

[@syblefitzgibbon7555]

It is such an amazing video, it's been a long time since I've been to Key West and its certainly changed.... I especially liked the lighthouse!! I also saw the lil train I rode on yrs ago, and even tho it looks a lil different... It sure brought bac alotta memories...keep up the good work guys, I think the board of tourism owes u guys!!! GREAT JOB!!!

[@budjunior4073]

Best shrimp and grits in the country. Even the wait is fun. Bellinis all around!

[@jaesbow]

Cuban Coffee Queen makes the best damn breakfast sandwich. There’s also a tiny place called “Mams” that makes an Israeli meatball sandwich that is dream worthy.

[@phillipmele]

Favorite was driving past Capt Tony’s

[@phillipmele]

I always go to the museum of that guy that found all the treasure diving.

[@Buses2Bikes]

Was the Mel Fisher Museum still there? I went when it first opened when it was loaded with tons of gold and silver and jewels. Not sure if it's still there now. Great video. Clothing optional bar....VERY interesting.

[@cynthialeaf8358]

It's still there! Cool place

[@robertingram7946]

You two are great tour guides. You may have found your niche!

[@TheBITELYS]

We love Key West! Just found your video & subscribed! We'll definitely be checking out threat distillery next trip! 🖤

[@stewtube1240]

Favorite - is when Kristen smiles ...every video favorite ...when Kristen smiles ....

[@cyanteteet7561]

My favs are Duval and Mallory Square. Have to see the sunset at Mallory...and of course the shopping and entertainment at Duval..Would love to see your daily life at Hey West. Are there any stores that sell handmade jewelry or shirts/dresses with hand embroidery?

[@johnnymajor9628]

All the stores in KW sell one off items and amazing handmade jewelry

[@Jimsdrums]

Should have a light inside the compass most do?? Maybe bulb burnt out or no power?

[@jayjohnson9668]

Cptn Tony's is the best bar for local flavor and the Green Parrot too😎

[@marklapierre5629]

Rum Tasting sounds like fun. The food looks better.

[@mohammedsalim5889]

Oh Man this Video refreshed my memories I used to go to Key West with my wife every year last time we went back in 2005 used to stay for the whole week best deal in the town unfortunately I dont remember the name of the hotel miss the key lime pie, sloppy joes bar, Sea Food and especially the Duval Street man but now everything has changed and pretty expensive oh btw we moved up north to DAMN NEW YORK back in 2006 and I am still trying to cope with the freezing weather man its not for me my wife loves it and I love her LOL keep up the good work guys awesome video

[@Sailboatstory]

Great vid. I'm most impressed by your over all video quality for as young as your channel is. The pacing, sound, transitions, balance, storyline, all that stuff - is on par with much more established channels. Keep it up guys and I know you'll take off. -B

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Thanks for the compliments!

[@freds3987]

Another good video, thank you.

[@flybird141]

Love the beer choice:) Anheuser-Busch St. Louis Missouri. (Where I grew Up) I live in Oregon, this is micro brew heaven but can't stand it.

[@rickyharvey7614]

I would love to be there on my harley right now 30 below zero here in Michigan jan 31st 2019

[@theresascibetta6517]

Going in June .Never been to Smather's. Going to Hemingway House and the Butterfly Consortium to see the Flamingo's. Going on a Sunset Dinner cruise which passes Mallory Square on the water so much fun! The best way to see the Sunset on Mallory Square is on a boat. Key West her we come. PS did not like Blue Heaven last time we came will skip that this time.

[@jcbbe]

That was an excellent video, I am trying to get there for the Song writers festival 2019

[@JakobEngl]

Great Video !

[@kcfan34231]

My favorite was his VPL at the end of video.

[@christopherpabsst7260]

Its been a few years since I have been down there...so I enjoy videos such as yours where I can take a mini-vacation for a few minutes. Are you staying down there on a sailboat anchored in the harbor?

[@Chonklitz]

I appreciate this video! My fiancé just moved down there and I'll join him shortly :)

[@michellecrais5550]

It reminded me of the first Margaritaville orientation video. You didn’t visit the Ernest Hemingway house, that has to be pretty cool!

[@neptunesreaper838]

Ernest Hemingway is overrated

[@SirIsaac69]

Did you ever make the "locals only" video? I couldn't find it.

[@tashagarland9163]

Planning a trip there in a few months. I have limited mobility flare ups so biking and walking could (🤞 that I don’t that week) be a challenge. Do you have any advice?

[@johnstuebner9143]

You are right about the clothes optional. Mostly things you dont want to see. 😂

[@amberadams4196]

I am a single mother teacher bringing my son down for his 21st birthday. Any tips on inexpensive, fun things to do?

[@lonestarcj8132]

Thanks for the tour.

I love Key West. Charlie Macs and Key Lime Pie...Any Key West Key Lime Pie

You guys missed my favorite restaurant Turtle Kraals!!

[@grandmajackie338]

where did you rent the tandem bike from?

[@stevensadowski1]

Thanks for the tour, iv decided to go to Clearwater beach instead

[@billpawley2849]

You need to be in Key West for "Fantasy Fest". It's the only time everything gets "To Hang Out" on Duval. Yes, you must keep an open mind though.....

[@boatcopso]

I lived many years fun place to bad your not there for Colubus Day wild party Captain Rich
