"The Florida Keys are a wilderness of flowering jungles and shimmering seas, a jade necklace of mangrove-fringed islands dangling toward the tropics. Sunsets here are a pure, unadulterated spectacle that each evening attracts thousands of visitors and locals to the waterfront throughout the Keys." - Fodors

Neighborhood Description:

Cudjoe Key - A little Perch history...The beautiful acre on the ocean where Parrot’s Perch is found was once an old hotel that served as a to the hundreds of workers who came to build Henry Flagler’s railroad around 1912. Some of the original cement slabs and steps are still on the property before it too was taken by a hurricane. The Keys were only sparsely populated until the early 20th century. In 1905, however, railroad magnate Henry Flagler began building the extension of his Florida railroad south from Homestead to Key West. His goal was to establish a rail link to his steamships that sailed between Key West and Havana, just 90 miles across the Straits of Florida. The railroad arrived at Key West in 1912 and remained a lifeline of commerce until the Labor Day hurricane of 1935 washed out much of its roadbed. The Overseas Highway, built over the railroad's old roadbeds and bridges, was completed in 1938. Parrot’s Perch was built in 1959 and maintains the flavor of the “old” keys but has been entirely renovated and modernized inside.
