“Small space and low Light”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The front desk people were nice, parking is tight, we have a compact car and we had problem parking. The living room is small with low light if you want to read, no window to the outside in the living room. Dinning table is in a strange location in the living room beside the wall and very close to the TV on the wall. One lamp in the living room. Kitchen is small but we knew about this, since they told us it come with mini kitchen. Locaion of the kitchen is between the living room and bedroom, you have to pass through the kicthen to go from bedroom to living room and there is a high chance you may trip on the trash can which is in the way, it happened to me at night. The living room is good size but with only one small window to the outside. No phone in the living room, only one in the bedroom. The unit is newly remodeled. The swiming pool is in the first floor across from the front desk, no privacy, you can see people in the pool from the inside and also from outside the resort. We asked for beach view unit but were told its booked, but I think they do have because I called on the phone and they said they have if I want to reserve and pay.

Room Tip: Don't select mini kicthen and units with one small window. We stayed in 8th floor and they were...

“Wonderful Staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011
4
people found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed here Oct 21- 28. I don't remember staying at a resort that had such a helpful staff. Any question or need we had was fullfilled. The unit was perfect for the two of us, but would be OK for a family with children. Comfy living area, galley kitchen with everything you would need. Large bath, soaking tub, thick towels, good lighting. Quite a good size king bedroom with plenty of closet storage space with windows over-looking the ocean. We spent a lot of time on the balcony with sweeping views of the ocean and Inlet. The Ocean Key is NOT on the ocean but one block in. It is one of the few resorts that has an Ocean view despite its location. Everyday they have planned activities and van trips. Thursday 5-6 a wine & cheese reception.
You do have to take out your trash each day down the hall to the shute and exchange the towels for clean ones on another floor, which is no big deal.
This is a great location. You can walk or bike to everything. Waterman's Grille is across the street, try their Orange Crush. Great burgers and "caught that day fresh fish". Skip the chain pizza and go to IL Giardino for authentic pizza and Italian dishes, 9th St.
We loved Ocean Key for the staff, location, views.

“Life's a Beach!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We had the pleasure of staying at Ocean Key Oct 1st - 8th, 2011. We had a lovely suite with all the necessities for us to be quite comfortable even with our 1 and 3 year olds. The pool was perfect and the hot tub was soothing and relaxing. The manager was a very nice guy, despite being a Cowboys fan :) The wine and cheese social Thursday evening was welcoming and enjoyable. The tanning bed was perfect for the two cloudy days and the kids area and arcade were filled with books and toys that entertained the children for hours. The location was perfect, just across the street from the beach and our room had a gorgeous view of the surf. We look forward to staying here again and again! The only areas of improvement I could suggest would be more smiles from the front desk staff (daytime staff) and perhaps making coffee available in the lobby throughout the day.

“Great service!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

people found this review helpful

We arrived around noon to obtain a parking pass and were delighted that our room was ready. It was clean and perfect location for what we wanted to do (American Music Festival concerts) and easy walk to the beach. Only drawback was no sun deck and I had to make a lot of noise to get the attention of housekeeping to exchange towels. Other than that, great place and I'd stay again....perhaps a bit over priced but it was a holiday weekend.
