If you are going to Key West, this is a little gem to stay along the way! Each room has a patio or deck, there is a made to order breakfast at the restaurant every morning, a beautiful little beach, large pool and hot tub, and 2 hrs of kayaking or paddle boarding included with each night of your stay. Such a peaceful little place! Would definitely come back!

The location on Marathon Key is great. The motel is quiet and on a little stretch of beach and a nice ocean view (although there is no water access). The pool and hot tub were nice additions. However, our room smelled very strongly of mildew, so much that it was a little hard to be in there for long periods of time and sleep comfortably.

Beautiful old school resort!!! The staff was very friendly and welcoming! We chose the onsite restaurant Hideaway Cafe for our 5 year wedding anniversary supper date, and couldn’t have made a better choice! The food was EXCELLENT along with our waiter!! The whole supper staff went above and beyond to make sure our first visit there was memorable, and to top it off they surprised us with delicious fancy dessert at the end! My husband and I loved it here and definitely plan to come back next winter!
