We loved staying here so much, we plan to come back in the future. The ocean was about 50' from our french doors. Extremely quiet beach, much of the time we had it to ourselves. I love to ride my bike every day, the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail bike path is directly across US1 from the resort, so convenient! This will forever be our go-to in The Keys, just perfect for us.

Everything was perfect. Accommodated our late flight this late check in. Room was cool when we walked in which was very nice after a very humid night drive. Easy to access for parking, and the beach view was amazing. Didn’t get up early enough for breakfast and were always out too late for the dinner at the restaurant but it looked nice lol. Lovely stay thank you

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The place was ok if you don’t mind cleaning when you get there. I had to clean the floors with a towel and they were dirty. There was black hair pieces laying all over the bedroom. Laid back beach vibes made up for it. We had to leave after a night because the beds were so uncomfortable. The restaurant food is the best you’ll find in marathon. That alone is worth the stay if you can tolerate the rest. Pool was great and the views are the best. Beautiful stars at night. I would come back if i knew they had better beds in another suite. 2/5 stars for me

Great Old Florida Charm!

Cute old Florida motel right on the water with it's own private beach. The room was very clean and updated, the grounds are very tropical and well maintained, the staff was super friendly and helpful and the late check in process is very efficient. We will definitely stay here again.
