Many of the guests that were staying considered the resort to belong to themselves only,leaving trash their kids stuff toys etc.all over common areas as well as occupying the community spaces as if no one else existed

It's a lovely quaint place. Unfortunately, while I stayed here, there was a lot of late night partying going on until 3a.m. Maybe later, I finally fell asleep. No one is there to help you if you call the desk after 5. It's quite tacky to allow screaming , hooting, and incredibly loud music that late. Not everyone wants to party. Some of us need to rest and hear for that reason.

We love that the rooms are set up for coffee and light meal prep. Plenty of tables outside to eat at as well and lots of green space for kids and dogs! Rooms are always clean and with late check in codes are shared for easy access to your room.

Did not get to stay at the accommodation due to the host never providing the “contactless” check in code as they indicated they would. I responded to their text that they stated we could communicate through in case of issues but they never communicated with us on what to do through that text platform. The text and emails that were supposed to contain codes were both empty in that field. An email was received at 9:45pm saying if we had not received a code by our check in time (4pm) we should contact the emergency number located on the office door. By that point we had already secured different accommodations.

Gulf View does indeed have a view of the Gulf, from public areas, but there's hardly any shade on the shore or at the pool to escape the full sun at either.
Our room was clean and comfortable but it was like a bachelor uncle room above the garage. The approach ramp and adjacent deck were very worn, with springy boards and protruding nails.
At check-in, we were left waiting several minutes after ringing the bell then being told to wait some more, while she carried on personal conversations leaving us waiting, only to be processed coldly (same with check-out). Shower and on-site parking were fine. The only ice option was purchasing a $3 bag (and another long rude wait) that far exceeded what we wanted or needed.
Gulf View should have been a more enjoyable experience than it was. It was clean and relatively quiet (couldn't hear nearby highway traffic when indoors), but we wouldn't stay there again.

The good parts: staff were friendly and accommodating. The room and pool were clean. There is a great bar/restaurant within walking distance away. It was nice to have a full size fridge and stove to use if needed. They also have kayaks and paddle boards to use at no charge. But, beware…it is difficult to get BACK up the kayak launcher as there is no handle and the concrete pad is very slippery.

The not so good parts: The pictures are a little deceiving. The room we booked (deluxe king) showed a pic that looked like it looks out onto the ocean. Ours did not. It was on the ground floor and the side of the bed is RIGHT next to the kitchen sink.

You can hear EVERYTHING from your neighbors (even just casual conversation). There was no housekeeping at all during our 5 night stay. Not that we needed someone to make the bed, but more to refill the coffee and creamer instead of having to ask. There isn’t a beach area and there is a lot of seaweed which begins to smell later in the day under the hot sun.

Overall, it’s a decent place to stay and fairly priced. The friendly staff make up for some of the shortcomings.

The bathroom was extremely small including a shower that was minute. The electricity in the bathroom flickered on and off. Amenities were barely existent. It took 4 days for the “heated” pool to warm up to be useable. No maid service ALL week. We had to go to the laundry room to get fresh towels. The jet ski rental was never available and lifting kayaks off the rack was accessible by youthful guests only. A box of tissues in the room would have been appreciated. No information was available for local dining or activities. We were so thrilled to be in sunshine and warm temperatures that we managed. For these prices so much more attention to detail should exist. We did hear from other guests that the place did go downhill.

There was no stay you allowed us to book a room that no one ever gave us a room so you stole our money and left us no room we called the number you gave us over and over we stood in the cold for an hour waiting for a reply and no one ever did you owe us a full refund due to fraud.....we didnt cancel we were there waiting on the room we were promised and no room was given. Worst booking experience ever. We booked thru you at 7 pm we arrived at 8pm only to find no one there you should not book rooms when you know the person wont be able to get one due to office closing at 5 you booked it knowing that
we did not until we got your confirmation email so you should never have taken our money for a room you knew we would not get that is fraud.

Let’s start with…We were supposed to have a Deluxe queen room. Instead, we had two full size beds. Nowhere to lay suitcases open, no sitting area, nothing. Not ideal with a family of 4 staying.
The room was rundown in every way shape and form. Absolutely nowhere to put things in the bathroom, such as makeup hair products etc. You’re essentially living out of your suitcase and bags while here because there is nowhere to go with anything. Now onto outside. The gnats are atrocious! We’re still extremely itchy 5 days after being home. Cannot sit outside your patio, near the pool, or even a walk to the water. Which by the way, is probably why there are so many gnats..the sea grass that as washed up is housing all these things!! A little cleaning out would go along way. Which also stinks terribly.
Had I not of had two children with me and not wanting to shuffle them around, we would’ve definitely looked for somewhere else to stay!

I stayed here for one week by myself with my dog. We had a lovely time and thoroughly enjoyed the king suite Sea view room. The room had been recently updated and felt like a small apartment. This area was very safe and extremely dog friendly, the pool was very inviting and the property sits right on the gulf with beautiful sunsets. If you are sensitive to noise, I would recommend staying on a top floor as sounds tend to travel quite easily between the rooms. There are kayaks and paddle boards to use for free and jet ski and boat rentals available on site. This property is on grassy key a few miles before the heart of marathon and you do see a lot of grass washed up into the waters just off the hotel site. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend staying here as well.

The exterior description of the property is accurate; however, the room photos in the listing are misleading. The Superior King room we stayed in felt more like an efficiency. The bed was positioned directly next to the kitchen sink, with no separation as shown in the listing photos.

The shared outdoor furniture needs replaced, as several chairs are unusable.

The room itself was clean, however the strong cleaning fumes lingered for several hours even after airing it the room out, which made conditions uncomfortable throughout the night.

It was extremely run down and extremely dirty. Certainly not worth the price we paid. Cobwebs all over I couldn’t pull the chain on the fan because it was covered in cobwebs, the floors were so dirty we could not walk barefoot, our socks were black, the microwave and fridge were gross. There was some sort of dehumidifier device that did not work. We did not dare put our stuff in the drawers. Furniture was run down. Couch was extremely uncomfortable. Chairs felt
like they were going to collapse when sitting. We were so disappointed and felt duped for the price we paid. They cheated us. Don’t go to this place save your money.

Before we arrived, we weren’t sure what to expect because the reviews were such a range of absolutely amazing or completely horrid.
Our first time to the Keys, and we wanted an old school vibe that was quiet and relaxed, in the middle of the Florida Keys, and we could slow down and enjoy ourselves.
The resort is older, but well maintained and clean. Yes, there are some dings in the flooring, and walls, but age isn’t dirt.
I booked a deluxe king, and we had room 18, the Blue and Gold Macaw room. Communication with the front desk was EXCELLENT, our flight had been very delayed because of snow, and we weren’t sure if we’d arrive prior to front desk staff leaving for the night. They were very kind, professional, and thorough in explaining how we’d get the room key upon arrival.
Parking was fine, loved the location, and the water view was lovely.
Didn’t have the opportunity to use the kayaks, but chatted with staff about how to reserve them. The resort is very quiet, we talked to one of the neighbors twice, and otherwise felt like we had the place to ourselves.
Housekeeping does not come daily - which I knew and was fine with. We asked for extra towels and paper products when needed, and received them promptly.
Was a great stay for us.
