Sitting here now and thinking back to last weekend, at Sands Of Islamarda, and wishing we were back there!!! I can't say how much fun we had along with our 2 dogs; a chocolate lab and a golden retriever! From the minute we entered the property and greeted by 'Manuel, we new we were going to love it! He was... More

This place is not fancy. This place is not new. This place does not have all the bells and whistles. BUT, This place was awesome. Very clean and well kept for a property its age. Very nice staff who were friendly and helpful. The short walk from the room to the water was fantastic. We brought our small boat and... More

Just came back from a blissful three-night stay at this quaint "I'd-like-to-keep-it-a-secret" Islamorada inn! A visiting friend and I decided to explore The Keys for a long weekend along with my Shiba Inu, and made Sands our homebase. We fell in love! The property is on the Atlantic side of the highway and is so easy to miss (you want... More

Where to begin... This place is AMAZING, and like others afraid to brag because we want it just for ourselves!! We came by and drove in a year ago, and the same way we left. It was runed down. Not impressed at all. This time we were purposely looking for a pet friendly hotel/motel and when we look in tripadvisor... More

We stayed three nights with a group of adults and teens in one of the efficiency units with a small kitchen. The rooms and grounds were not luxury, but they were clean and comfortable. When relaxing watching the ocean we never felt crowded. The only real complaint was low water pressure in the shower. The staff was very friendly and... More

We went here for a few days with another couple who have a golden retriever, as we do. Took the dogs and threw in the Cockatiel for good measure. They don't mention a limit on pets, and there is no pet charge. You can't go wrong with this place if you have a dog that likes to swim. The grounds... More

I can't praise this place enough! We were on a motorbike tour and arriving here warm and dusty was like coming to an oasis in the desert. The people were lovely and friendly, the room was fabulous and the bed was heaven. I whole heartedly recommend this place!

I almost hate to tell everyone how much I love this place because I'm afraid there won't be a room available next time I want to stay here! This is such a cute, charming, clean and cared-for hotel. The rooms are more like little cottages. We stayed in a downstairs room with 2 double beds, a large closet, a table... More

This quaint little property is an idyllic setting. It is quiet, away from crowds and quite simply beautiful. We stayed in one of the efficiency units with a wrap around porch and beautiful view of the ocean. It is my understanding that this property is under new ownership as of Nov. 2012. The property is older and it appears they... More

We stayed here with our dog and a small boat. The room was very clean and the bed was act ually comfortable! It is older but most are in the keys. If its reasonable in price it's not going to be modern. The manager was friendly and helpful. Must like dogs if you stay here. There are not many that... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
An awesome, intimate escape right in the center of the Keys. All of our rooms have recently been refreshed from top to bottom. For a pet & people friendly tropical retreat...This is the spot. This is the kind of place Jimmy Buffett sings about. We are very Keysee and very clean! A sparkling pool and hot-tub with a view of the beach, boat launch and pier, await you. Our rooms and efficiencies can accomodate from 1 to 6 people very comfortably. ... more   less
