Client Spotlight: First State Bank 🏦

70 years ago, First State Bank opened its doors with a single branch in Key West and a handful of employees. But today, they've grown throughout the Keys and online, in-app, and everywhere in between without ever losing what made them special in the first place.

What sets them apart isn't the growth. It's the people. From the tellers to the president, First State Bank is made up of your friends and neighbors. Real people, genuinely invested in helping the Florida Keys succeed. 🌴

Locally owned. Community focused. Seven decades strong.

If you're looking for a bank that actually knows your name, it might be time to make the switch.

It's been called "The best gay-resort in the world" for a reason. 👑

This clothing optional resort has been a fixture of the gay community since 1976, and has become well known within the LGBTQ+ world over the years.

Men-only, with Wednesday and Sunday happy hours and pool parties, this place is legendary!

Key West is home to plenty of local legends, but few have left a mark quite like Ernest Hemingway. 📝

During his decade on the island, he penned some of his most renowned works, including "To Have and Have Not," "Green Hills of Africa," and "Death in the Afternoon." He also constructed the first in-ground pool in Key West: a lavish $20,000 investment in 1937 that almost led to his financial ruin. Hemingway frequently enjoyed drinks at the original Sloppy Joe's Bar alongside his fishing buddy and bar-owner Joe Russell. 🍻

Most notably, Key West celebrates his birthday annually with Hemingway Days, featuring a running of the bulls and a look-alike contest where over 100 white-bearded men in safari shorts compete for the title of "Papa" for a weekend.

The Historic Schooner Appledore Star used to move fish and cargo, now it moes drinks and guests! ⛵
Both are equally important 🤷

The intimate sail takes you around Key West to view the phenomenal Key West sunset every evening! Plus, with unlimited free drinks, this experience is a can't miss!

Some places hold their history like a garden holds down roots. 🌿

Built in the 1800s and once called the Gardens Mansion, this Key West treasure was reimagined in 1930 by Peggy Mills. Peggy demolished 13 buildings, collected plants from around the world, and legend has it, started it all by planting six coconuts upside down!

Known in Key West as "The Lady of the Orchids," Peggy created what became one of the area's first tourist attractions: a lush botanical garden open to all.

Today, the pathways she designed are paved with 87,000 century-old bricks she collected from Cuba, Honduras, and England. Walk them and you'll feel every bit of that history beneath your feet.

Come visit and see the historic inn for yourself!
