We stayed in the cottages. So clean! Very modest, no doubt. But nice bedding, all kitchen items needed were already there. Cold A/C. Housekeeping. Centrally located to shops; other Keys and restaurants. Beautiful view! Island breezes! More

My cousin and I vacation together every few years to visit family in Florida. This year, we decided to drive from Vero Beach down through The Keys since neither of us had been there. We did not have hotel reservations and stopped at several places looking for a room. Most were more than we really wanted to pay. Lucky for... More

We booked two nights at Harbor Lights because the motel is pet friendly and reasonably priced for the area. We were pleasantly surprised; our accommodations were super clean, with a comfortable king-size bed and plenty of hot water for showers. It is obvious the managers do their very best to keep the property clean and attractive. I highly recommend the... More

I was in Islamorada for two nights. I went to this hell hole out of all the places to stay in the keys. I checked in, they took my 100.00 and gave me a room key. I went to visit my brother in Tavernier and could not find the motel on my way back. So I asked my girlfriend in... More

Well, the bad thing about the Internet is that anyone can post anything, even if it is very far from the truth. Here is the real story: This man checked into our hotel in the evening, went up to his room for a couple of hours and then eventually went out. Later that evening, a female called the hotel claiming... More

We have stayed at Harbor Lights twice and will be returning this spring. We stayed in spring of 2010 and fall of 2011. It is an older motel, but the rooms are spotless clean. The management is friendly and go out of their way to make sure guests are comfortable. They are excellent sources of information on local attractions. We... More

Stayed here for one night (supposed to be two) on our way down the Keys. We had booked it on-line, as with all our hotels/motels. For $100 per night, we couldn't believe the poor condition of the room. It had peeling paint on the walls and ceiling, broken bathroom door handle, very old bed, the water pressure in the shower...

We are so sorry that you did not enjoy your stay! We are also very sorry that we did not have the opportunity to make things right while you were here with us. Please know that both the AC and the bedding in that room are relatively new. The door handle to the bathroom was loose, and was fixed seconds... More

We stayed at another hotel, when we found this place to put our boat in the water I met the owner (Todd) and he could not have been friendlier or nicer. He took extra time to show me the way out with the boat and my wife and I looked around the property, it was great. I love trip advisor,... More

We spent one night at Harbor Lights on the way to Key West. It was a very basic small room. The shower is extremely small...this did not work well with my 6 ft. hubby. However it was nice sitting outside by the water....saw an iguanna, a fat crab and something swimming in the water we never could identify. If all... More
