We stayed in the 2 bedroom unit with 4 adults and 4 kids. It was more than enough room. It is nothing fancy but does the trick. The owners were very friendly and will help make your stay better. They have a tortoise and a bunch of birds in a little sanctuary to walk through. You can use any of... More

Adorable little resort with the friendliest, kindest owners and service we have ever encountered in our travels. While it's not a fancy place, everything you need is provided in the apartment-style suites, and you are greeted by a new tropical towel-creature on the bed every time Kristina makes over your room. The atmosphere is extremely laid-back, with hammocks, a little... More

The Gulf View Waterfront Resort has everything you could want in the Keys! The owners strive to ensure the guests are comfortable and satisfied. We have stayed there for many years & each year there is something new that has been updated - we had a new refrigerator & stove in our unit this year which was delightful. Landscaping and... More

This was our first visit to the Keys, and I spent hours pouring over various websites for accommodations. The Gulf View Waterfront was exactly as described with a lot of added bonuses! It was much more economical than most of the hotels I looked at. It is very well situated mid-Keys, and the amenities were great. We chose a 2-bedroom... More

This is the second time that we have stayed at this hotel and the only place that we have stayed when visiting the Keys. This place was recommended by our parents, and they have stayed with the Gulf View Waterfront for about 15+ years. My family and I have enjoyed each of our visits. The owners of the hotel, Mike...

Very warm and personal welcome, perfect pool (clean, heated), great view, relaxing hammocks under the palm trees, perfectly located in the middle of the Keys, lovely parrot and fast tortoise (the kids loved them). We hope we can return one day.

Just returned after a 20yr reunion with some Navy buddies. We all stayed at Gulf View. Can't rave about the owners and staff enough! They are the personal touch that chain or large property rentals can't replicate. Very relaxing and free kayak and paddle boats are a great comp for those who like to spend time on the water. Beautiful... More

The property has two buildings, a coin washer and dryer are on-site, and the pool is very nice. The property is pretty and includes 5 birds and a turtle. Coco, the cockatoo/cockatiel/whatever, can talk; it also waves when it says hello. This is a pet friendly facility with large grassy areas. There is a bike/walking path about 1/4 mile South... More
