Admidedly,we were restricted to a place that would accept our small dog, but Sands of Islamorada was a most pleasant surprise. We love smaller,clean and loveingly kept up older places and Sands fits the bill plus it is right on the water with a dock,pool and hot tub right outside your door ( only nine units). Add super friendly,helpful managers... More

What a great place! Very casual and comfortable. The hosts Kathy and Bob are absolutely great. When we arrived Kathy showed us our room and then gave us a tour of the property, nice welcoming touch. We were in room 11 which had 2 queen beds separated from a sitting area and dining area. The unit had a full size... More

We stayed here for 1 night in November of 2010. There were 4 of us so we took one of the cottages. It had 2 bedrooms with a living room and a kitchen. It wasn't a Hilton resort but it certainly suited all of us. We wouldn't have minded staying longer if we had more time. We thought the area... More

This little 9 room/suite resort is the essence of Florida Keys charm. Bob and Kathy treat their guests and pets like family, the grounds and rooms are clean and well maintained, the view is beautiful, and it is close to everything. Even with all rooms full, it never feels crowded, and everyone is friendly and happy to be there. The... More

We love the Keys and best of all Islamorada. We found the Sands by instant Karma. It was the answer to the most beautiful weekend we have ever spent in the Keys. The Sands hotel is the friendliest, most quaint, and so very well taken care of. The managers are always there to answer any questions and to advise of... More

This is a quaint, little resort with a lovely pool and hot tub, small sandy area to relax in while overlooking the ocean, and a nice dock for walking and for mooring your boat. Realize this is not a large, fancy hotel. It is in an older building. But that's part of its charm. The bathrooms and kitchette areas can... More

This motel has a little bit of everything. Nice clean pool, jacuzzi, gas grill, barbeque grill, boat dock, kayak to use, oceaviews, beautiful landscapes, some suites available, pet friendly and great management. This would be a great motel for a family reunion or get together with friends. Rooms had reasonable rates and is close to everything. We stayed 3 nights... More
