Hyatt Windward Pointe -
Welcome to the Hyatt Windward Pointe, a Hyatt Vacation Club. Set along the Atlantic Ocean, the Hyatt Windward Pointe blends the laid-back Key West style with a modern, upscale resort ambiance. Here is a retreat where you can slow down and forget the rush and stress of your day-to-day life. Bask beside the lushly landscaped ocean front pool or hot tub that gives you the illusion that youâre softly floating on the open sea or grab a snack at Abbey Road poolside sandwich and snack bar.
Perfectly situated on the eastern side of the island, this gracious retreat directly overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, offering magnificent water views and Key West sunrises! All residences at the Hyatt Windward Pointe are ocean front or ocean view (see the marked-up resort layout in the photos in this listing for the differentiation). All residences also have swimming pool, hot tub, and/ or lush courtyard views.
Cherish the lavish plantation-style décor while taking advantage of the convenience offered by a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, living room, 3 flat screen TVs, DVD player, private furnished balcony, heated infinity edge pool, and hot tub, BBQ grills, pool bar/ grille, etc. Complimentary Wi-Fi access, in-room washer and dryer, and on-site parking are also included.

The Hyatt Windward Pointe's convenient location puts you just minutes from the free-spirited art, music and entertainment scene of Old Town. Or head over to nearby Smathers Beach, the biggest white sand beach in Key West to rent windsurfers or go parasailing. The Keys are also a haven for anglers - shallow flats, mangrove islands, inland channels and open blue waters offer world-class fishing opportunities. Hoping to test your skills on the green? You're in luck - Key West Golf Club is located nearby and is the only Caribbean inspired course in the U.S.
Whether you choose to spend your days simply relaxing by the infinity pool or setting off on a dive adventure, Key West delivers a dream vacation of your own design. Your island home is just minutes away from celebrating the sunset each evening at Mallory Square and taking in the renowned dining, shopping and nightlife of Duval Street.
The Hyatt Windward Pointe is located about 3 Miles from Key West's Historic Seaport District, Duval Streetâs dining, shopping, and nightlife, Mallory Square sunsets, and the Sunset Pier.
