Our room really wasn't a "room" per se, but more like a small efficiency apartment. It had a bedroom, a small, but sufficient bathroom, and a kitchenette. There was bougainvillea growing right outside our window, banana and coconut trees on the property, a nice pool area, hammocks, and picnic tables, and was just very nicely landscaped in general.This is not...

My husband and I stayed with my sister and husband in Unit 1. The unit is not a sparkling hotel suite, but is roomy for 4 people and has a nice, useable kitchen. The pool is great for relaxing and exercising. There are boats to use at the gulf side dock. The Dolphin Research Center is only 1 block away... More

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary December 24-27. We stayed in room 20, which is overlooking the birds. Every morning when we would walk out, the parot would tell us he loved us. This place is great. If you are looking for a five star resort with plush bedding and turndown service, this is not the place... More

My wife and I stayed for four nights with our two grandsons. The boys loved the pool and being next door to the Dolphin Research Center where they went three days in a row. The property is older, but we saw that as a plus. We felt like Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were likely to walk around the corner... More

We wanted to explore the Keys and decided to stay at the Gulf View Waterfront based on other trip advisor reviews. The location was perfect since it is a mid point in the Keys. Our room had a kitchen which made it really nice with children. The resort is on the water and they have kayaks you can use, also... More

We stayed here a few years ago, and decided to return because we wanted to the visit the Dolphin Research Center next door. We rented a small apartment and a connecting guest room. The hotel is charming. The grounds are beautiful The rooms are a bit older, but well maintained and very clean. The owners are wonderful. Very accomodating and... More

I was looking for a place were our three teenagers could each have their own bed. We stayed in #16--a two bedroom unit (two beds in one bedroom, one in the other) and a futon. Lodging in the keys seems to be very expensive and I thought this was a good value for what we received. I loved the porch... More

Staying at the Gulf View felt like staying with family. Its not a fancy place; its a cozy comfortable place. We felt so welcomed, the parrot greeted us with "I love you". Comfortable apartment, I loved having a kitchen to use (and not so immaculate that I couldn't make myself at home--it's a kitchen to really use). We bought fish... More

My 4 sisters and I recently stayed at the Gulf View and had a great time. We rented a small apartment and a guest room. The rooms were very clean, the owners very nice and quite accommodating. The pool is wonderful! The location is great being in the middle of the keys, close to restaurants, shopping, etc. I would not... More
