Floating Tiki Suite in Key West
Experience nature like never before while sleeping in a glass cage perched from the edge of a cliff – Airbnb provides this unforgettable glamping experience perfect for nature-lovers!
Off the coast of Florida is this floating tiki suite accessible via water taxi. From here, visitors may witness dolphins, manatees, sting rays and other marine life as they relax here for the day or watch the sunrise and sunset; also perfect for snorkeling, swimming and kayaking adventures!
Because the Tiki Suite doesn’t include a kitchen, guests must bring all necessary food and supplies. Tiki Suites recommends booking shuttle rides through local service Ship 2 Shore; their online platform enables guests to book private or public shuttle rides easily. Once at the dock, take about a 15-minute boat ride until reaching your Tiki Suite!
Though there may not be a kitchen, you’ll still be able to prepare tasty meals on the outdoor grill and dine on a covered deck with ample seating and seating in a hammock or relax while reading or lounging in the sun!
Be mindful when booking the Tiki Suite as it only stays available for limited dates each week, as booking through Tiki Suites rather than Airbnb may provide availability beyond six months in advance.
Make the most of your trip by exploring all that Key West has to offer, such as delicious seafood restaurants and quirky shops. Don’t forget the John Pennekamp Coral Reef Park for some incredible diving and snorkeling – and maybe even find your new favorite diving or snorkeling spot!

Potato House in Boise
Though not made from actual mashed potatoes, this starchy Airbnb stands in for one. Situated in Boise, Idaho and measuring 28-feet long – originally constructed to celebrate Idaho Potato Commission’s 75th anniversary – it travelled across America for seven years on a semi truck before becoming an attractive overnight accommodation option.
Kristie Wolfe of local builder Kristie Wolfe took charge in transforming this eye-catching potato into a cozy home, outfitted with clean white walls (made of energy efficient 10-inch green expanding foam) and makeshift nightstands that serve as nightstands for books, plants and rustic DIY antler chandelier from her personal tiny house. Additionally she incorporated custom queen-size beds, cozy lounge areas, as well as an indoor bathroom housed within an old silo about 30 feet away.
At this potato hotel, its prime feature is its location: it overlooks 400 acres of farmland and the Owyhee Mountains. Equipped with running water, toiletries, free parking and fireplace (plus fully furnished with comfy sofa, dining table chairs and mini fridge), its temperature-controlled structure offers beautiful scenery to be admired while relaxing with loved ones in its backyard garden.
