My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The charm of the old-Keys vibe popped in great ways, particularly with the retro atmosphere and made-to-order breakfast. However, I encountered several issues, particularly with room conditions and service availability. Overall, while the location and ambiance have merit, they need to address cleanliness and customer service for a truly enjoyable experience.

This small resort offers a personal touch, with rooms that provide a cozy and comfortable experience. The attention from Laura made our stay enjoyable, although some amenities need improvement. Exploring the area with available kayaks was a nice perk, but be prepared for some rocky beach conditions. Overall, a peaceful stay with a great atmosphere, but there are a few maintenance issues to address.

This hotel has a lovely old-school charm and is perfect for families looking for an authentic experience. The oceanfront views are breathtaking, especially during sunrise, making it a great place to unwind. While the rooms were comfortable and clean, they could benefit from additional storage options. The service was exceptional, with nearly immediate responses to any requests. However, the lack of dining options on-site was a bit disappointing, but there are plenty of nearby restaurants to explore.
