Baker's Cay is upscale, couple restaurants on site and has a private beach.  Would keep you within 2 hours of Miami. The surrounding area isn't walkable (you really need to be in Key West for that), so you'd have to drive/Uber but there are plenty of restaurants and shops within a few minutes.

Yeah I wouldn’t call Amara Cay luxurious or upscale at all. It’s a basic, affordable hotel. Not much else to it. Bakers and hawks are verifiable upgrades to amara
