Very Good

Parking was excellent and easy and check in as well. The beachfront property is awesome with chairs and umbrellas. The swimming pool and hot tub were top-notch. I will be staying there again in the future.
My husband and I had an amazing stay at this hidden gem. We stayed in the 2nd floor Oceanfront 1bedroom suite. It would be great for a family. We had amazing views and enjoyed our coffee in the morning/cocktails in the evening on the balcony. We enjoyed watching the windsurfers takeoff and return to the private beach area. We arrived later on the first evening and we followed directions for check in as directed by staff after office closing hours and it went smoothly. The Hideaway Cafe was great for breakfast in the morning. Perfect place to stay in the Keys for relaxation or a stop on your way to Key West. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely be returning!
This is an excellet place to stay as a midway point between Key West and Key Largo, around 1 hour either way. The staff was awesome, and the hot tub was a great bonus.
Lovely vintage motel/apartments. Built in 1969 but remodeled. We stayed in a 2/2 with kitchen. Full sized refrigerator, sink, gas 4 burner stove top, microwave and nice counter space. Both bathrooms had showers and nice sized sink with vanity.
Comfortable pull out love seat in living/dining area.
Nice beach chairs with umbrellas on Oceanside. No beach but a beautiful view!
Last but not least the staff was friendly and helpful and the breakfast very good.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Our first time to the Keys. This place was nice enough but we are water people and love fishing and being in the ocean. However, the beach area at this place was very brown and had a ton of seaweed. So going in the water in this area was not an option.
Room was very very small and we like to have a closet and and a desk, this place didn't have that at all in the room. Pool looked really nice but we didn't get a chance to use it.

Great Location
Staff was Friendly
Would stay there again
Wonderful stay! The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. The room was clean and comfortable, and overall, everything was perfect. Highly recommended! i CELEBRATED THERE MY 30TH BIRTHDAY and I had a good time. They have kayaks, bikes, free ice and breakfast included an was good.
OMG! The views! This is a sleepy little roadside place on Grassy Key but only a few minutes from all the fun in Marathon. These are older facilities but they are wonderfully maintained. The staff felt like family and couldn't have been more helpful. The "comp breakfast" was actually a full cooked to order "What would you like this morning" situation. We didn't use the pool or eat at the Hidaway Inn, which is the white tablecloth restaurant on site, but we wish we could have!
You want room 10.
This is a great, small resort! The ocenfront location, white sands, great landscaping, on-site restaurant, and lovely rooms made for a great 3-night stay. Would have loved to stay longer!

We enjoyed our visit here. The best part was the lounge chairs - as they had arm rests. The pool was enjoyable. The rooms were sufficient - although we could hear someone snoring from another room. The bathroom was remodeled and

We had a great time, great lbeach area with a nice view, great breakfast very clean room.
Room was very clean. Beach area and pool/ hot tub were wonderful. Breakfast was not our favorite. Way Too much butter used and no sausage as mentioned. Many other restaurants nearby though. Office staff was extremely kind and helpful. Was a great short get/away and very private. Would definitely return.
Beautiful location with great rooms, awesome friendly service and nice resort amenties like complementary cooked to order breakfast and kayak use. Only complaint is the room door stuck and needed some attention. Also, pool hours could have been longer.
