The place has been updated. Access to the beach is awesome. Tons of things to do - such as paddleboard and kayak. Sunsets are amazing. Chill! Pool is small and no view but not what we came for.

It's a 1960's looking Florida resort. A throwback to happier times, but all the rooms and buildings have just recently been refurbished. New flooring and fixtures and bathrooms, all freshly painted. Sits right on the Gulf, with excellent sunset views. The property also supplies kayaks, paddle boards, fishing rods, safety vests, snorkeling gear, etc. They have a pool onsite along with gas and charcoal grills. Hammocks, lounges are there, too. Easy parking and the staff is wonderful and helpful. They even put out fruit and cookies in the lobby for quick, and free snacks. A very nice touch! I was very pleased and would return the next time we go fishing in Islamorada.

Little Hideaway

This is a nice place to stay. A nice waterfront with chairs, hammocks, shade, grill and dockage. Bed was very comfortable. Room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was clean and functional but needed a face lift. The area was well lit at night for safety but kept the room to bright for me. Overall would recommend.
