Absolutely gorgeous place! Wonderful service! Beautiful beach. We wish we could have stayed for more than one night, but alas we moved along farther down the keys. I will recommend this place to all my friends and would love to come back! We stayed in Diver's Den 1 and it was cute and cozy and clean! Thank you! read more

1. BEWARE Reviews are being deleted from their Facebook page! 2. This place deserves 0 stars based only on the manager and the receptionist. Rude, passive aggressive, biased, and racist. We were called "uneducated" because we defended ourselves against the managers personal feelings and emotions. She sided with the ONLY guest that complained about "loud music" we were playing at 4pm. The music was at a reasonable volume, confirmed by other guests that came to our defense and also spoke to police when they arrived. Police were called by the manager and the police officers encouraged us to make reviews on BBB and Yelp due to this ridiculous call. They said if it were up to them we could stay. But since it was private property we had to leave 3. I asked for the manager and was denied information. 4. Not to mention my reservation that I booked 1 year ago was for 5 guests (I have the original receipt) and was changed to 3 without my knowledge, they lied and said that the room we rented only accommodates 3 guests because "the sofa bed was changed to a single bed" upon entering the room I have rented for the past 5+ years, I found the same queen-size sofa bed. The response from the insipid receptionist was "oh well that's what the computer says". 5. When I walked up to check-in, the same receptionist greeted me by talking trash about the Asian customer that had just checked in. 6. Then he also talked trash about my mother to my friends unbeknownst to him we all came in the same group. Robert Cummings, if you are the owner of this location, please have your staff take a class on racism and customer service. Or better yet, clean house! read more

We stayed at the Sunset Cove in Key Largo and booked last minute for mothers day so we could only get the efficiency with two queen beds and a full kitchen with full size stove fullsize refrigerator and a huge sink and breakfast nook with two chairs. Nice bathroom. A little cramped but we had two dogs with us and it was just me and my 12 year old so it was fine. So glad we found the place though and we will return if we are doing anything in the area. Very family and pet friendly. Nice old Florida style cottages and fishing type village feel. They had bikes paddle boards kayaks cheekee huts with grills for small gatherings hammocks boat dock and small beach and a two story restaurant bar on the water with live music at night. The a/c in the room was cold. The unit was very clean and was updated inside nice the and stainless appliances but the outside still had that old Florida charm. We felt very safe there the office is open late plenty of families with kids. Some who told me it's their fourth time there and they rent several units. One for grandparents and the others for their children and grandchildren. No swimming pool but plenty to do onsite that is included. Front desk staff very professional. read more

The reviews for this place are very mixed when you're searching on other engines. Some people absolutely hated it, and others thought it was interesting. This place is definitely different. It's a quirky kind of place, definitely not fancy. But the people who work there are sugar sweet and very welcoming. I stayed here with an enormous group of people once for my sister's birthday. The rooms/suites were economical and we truthfully just chose the place based on that alone. We didnt really intend on spending too much time in the hotel so we didnt really care where we were staying. This place surpassed our expectations so much that we actually ended up spending a great deal of time on the grounds and even getting to know the staff! They have free Kayak, Canoe, and Snorkel gear rental for all the people who stay there, so we spend alot of the first day there on and in the water. There is this really nice pavilion with a grill where we BBQ'ed that same afternoon as the sun was setting. The staff was always there to answer any questions and point us in the right direction, we made instant friends. It's not your average resort.. but its a great time if you're open to new things. read more

We originally had made plans to stay up the road at the Marriott Beach resort but changed our minds when we came across this place on the Internet. Based on the photos it looked older but quaint. Service: The staff was very friendly. Room: We had the "most expensive" room closest to the beach. It is a shared, two story house. Initially, we thought we had scored until we started looking around. They have a serious any problem. We weren't even able to use the queen bed due to the trail of ants that would have been crawling above our heads. Instead we slept on the pull out sofa bed in the living room. Bring cooking utensils. There are not sufficient supplies. The shower was so small I even had trouble using it and I'm 5'1/110lbs. My husband is a big guy and it was definitely a challenge. Beach: The piers and beach are beautiful and the sunsets are amazing. The downside is it's so small. Summary: the place is low budget. If you're looking for a cheap get away and have low expectations then this is the place for you (trailer park feel, no offense). If you're looking for a clean, beautiful, resort with beautiful beaches, real water sports and amenities, do yourself a favor and stay at the Marriott like my parents did. It's worth the extra $100 . read more

Beautiful property. Great location. As a young couple who doesn't like the hustle and bustle of key west. This feels like your own slice of paradise. Waterfront access with beach and dock for boats. Kayaks and paddle boards included with your room. Wish we could have stayed longer. read more

Absolutely loved our one night stay. We got there at 11am & check in wasn't guaranteed until 4pm. They called before 1pm with our room ready. Loved the picture perfect views at sunset. Note ice machine is not provided. They have ice for minimal purchase. They provide glass plates, cups etc. with our kids we used plastic cups in bathroom, which worked but may want to bring your own plates, cups,etc for kiddos. Restaurant next door brings people to the beach during sunset so be prepared to defend the paid view on private property. The hammock was self provided. read more

Overall, it was a lovely place to stay. I stayed in the Hideaway, which was budget friendly. It was quirky with all of the nooks and crannies of hidden birds and animals. I also appreciated that our unit was immaculately clean. What was frustrating is that people tended to stake out the tikki cabanas by the gulf. A rather boisterous group spent ALL Saturday drinking in the large tikki. They also left their belongings to "mark" it the next day. When we sat in it the next day, they came round and loudly said "Someone's sitting in OUR tikki" and proceeded to be as obnoxious as possible to drive us away. I would not recommend it for families because it attracted large, drinking groups who dropped the "F" bomb in every sentence. read more

We stayed here on a Thursday and Friday night. It is cute as a button - basically a collection of small buildings ranging from 'dens' (near the entrance, a former retail space converted into rooms) to larger waterfront units with more space and views. We had one of the waterfront units, a two-story building with a room on each floor (well worth the extra $). The staff is friendly, the grounds are well kept, there is a large tiki hut with tables and a fountain for group gatherings in the center of the property. The waterfront features a small beach, a dock for sitting, fishing and mooring boats, a couple of tiki gazebos and a bunch of chaise lounges. The water is swimmable, but we saw lots of small jellyfish so we swam carefully. 2 paddle boards and 3 kayaks are available free to guests - you can sign them out for an hour at a time, first come - first serve from 7 AM until about 7 PM. Our unit was spacious, featuring a living room, kitchen, dining table and chairs, and a separate bedroom. The bathroom had a shower (no tub). The kitchen appliances were modern, the rest of the decor was retro - old-time Florida tourist. That's pretty much the theme throughout the property. Personally, I like this style, your mileage may vary. Noise: There is a bar and grill right next door which features live outdoor music, so the place can get pretty noisy at night. It was good music so we didn't mind it, plus the bar closed at 10 PM. What we couldn't control was the noise from other guests - on our second night a large foul-mouthed family group basically took over the beach and partied until 2 AM. Another loud group in the resort next door starting celebrating somebody's birthday at 9 AM and continued all day well into the night - it sounded like a frat party. I know the staff can't control everything their guests do, but there is supposed to be a 10 PM noise curfew and this was not enforced at either resort as far as we could tell. Thankfully the room air conditioners pretty much drown out their noise and we slept well despite the rudeness of these two groups. Would I stay here again? Yes I would, but I'd probably avoid the weekends. read more

We came down from Fort Lauderdale for a little getaway. We came down just for one night and chose this place because it's pet friendly. We have two dogs. They were so accommodating for the pets. They even had dog beds available for our use. The employees working there were SUPER nice. Very friendly and gave us all great information. The dogs could play in the water which was awesome! We played frisbee with them and laid on the lounge chairs. And relaxed. It was wonderful! AMAZING sunset. Beautiful view. Our place that we stayed in- The Maccaw- was so cute and quaint. Had everything we needed. Everything was clean and well-presented! We slept through the night wonderfully. No sound whatsoever. The decor of the resort was really cool and funky. A bunch of fun animal statues and tiki huts and colorful lights at night. We loved it. We felt like we were so far away from home although it was just an hour and half away. And the prices were very affordable! Everything was perfect. Thank you! We will be coming back! read more

I found this motel searching for pet friendly motels in the area. Overall this hotel is cute. There are maybe 10 rooms on the property, each one is different. The rooms are fairly small though, but they do offer a full kitchen. The grounds are really cute with several sitting areas, hammock to lounge in, and cooking grills. There are cute animal statues decorating the grounds, making the place very fun. The staff was nice and friendly. The "beach" left something to be desired. Granted, this is a very small place, but there was maybe 15 ft of actual shore, and the remaining 50 feet was a short wall next to the water. The water itself was rocky, but calm most of the time. One amazing feature were the three tiki huts you could lay under. The beach provided nice chairs to lay out in. Kayak rentals were also free to hotel customers, which saves you about $50 if you were to go elsewhere. My only disappointment was the room. The bed was sagging so heavily in the center from wear that it was very uncomfortable to sleep at night. The sheets felt like they were made out of sandpaper. There was an outdated TV, which we were stuck inside during a storm, and it would lose volume after maybe 20 minutes of watching. The tables were paint chipped, and there were a lot of ants running around. Their "complementary" breakfast was also severely lacking, with burnt coffee and pastries you could get out of a vending machine. I will also say that during our stay, there were SO many people at the place, making it feel very small and crowded, almost claustrophobic at time. For all the pet friendly people out there: there is limited grass for dogs to do their business (they even have a no pooping sign). They do allow dogs at their beach, as long as they are leashed, although there are several individuals who did not follow that rule. read more

Absolutely loved this place!! We had nothing booked and came down from ft lauderdale on a whim and they let us check in right away and gave us a great deal! They offer free kayak and paddle boards to guests. The bars next door had a live band and great happy hour specials. The room was adorable and very clean which is a MUST for me. We will be back very soon to this little slice of paradise. read more

Sunset Cove Beach Resort - Peaceful little paradise. - Resorts Near Me - Key Largo, Florida

We enjoyed our 1 night stay here. There are many small cottages with kitchenettes. The mattress was uncomfortable but all else was good. We watched the sunset on the pier with other guests. Coffee and pastry was provided for breakfast. read more

This is the most adorable property! It's right on the beach and there are amazing little piers around. Watching the sunset was amazing. The ambience at night was warm and welcoming. They have the cutest little lights and cabanas everywhere. The little houses/cottages are so cute and I love the bright colors! We had an amazing stay and if we find ourselves back here, we will be staying again! read more

The resort is just as it is pictured on its web site and here on Yelp. It is not a luxury resort and does not present itself as such. It is comfortable. We are staying in the Pelican room. It is clean. Has a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Some units have full kitchens. The queen bed has clean crisp white linen and is comfortable. No evidence of ant or bug infestation as one reviewer reported for their stay in the two story. Contrary to the reviews posted in July, I find this to be family friendly. There have been several families here this week during my stay and the kids and their parents were having a blast, using the kayaks and paddle boards. They had their own inflatable inner tubes and rafts out in the bay. A few were snorkeling in the bay. It's unfortunate that a rowdy group in July ruined the stay for others. Numerous restaurants within walking distance. We have had the good fortune of unseasonably warm temperatures with highs in the low to mid 80's. Sunny every day. Just what this Michigander was looking for. Would stay again if we come back to The Keys. read more

LOVE Sunset Cove Beach Resort. If you're looking for fancy just keep looking, but if you want an old-school Florida Keys experience directly on the beach, look no further. We recently stayed in Suite 7 (cottage directly on the beach) and it was fantastic. There's a good bar/restaurant directly next door (within feet of the resort), and yet another restaurant 2 doors down so you have options for eating and drinking. Friendly staff, fun place! read more

I wouldn't recommend snow skiing her but the beach was great... Service and food wasn't so shaby. Kinda run down but relatively nice. Rain Rain Rain go away let me see the sun today.... read more

Loved this place. We stayed for this past Labor Day weekend. It was great! Super clean, great beach area with chairs but it fills up fast. Our favorite was the large Tiki Hut across from our cottage. There was a big screen tv and fans which helped with the heat. We sat under there at night to play games. Since Covid 2020, it's been hard to go anywhere but this was great. No need to go inside an actual hotel because each room is a private cottage. Even check-in was outside. Can't wait to stay here again. read more

We were in town for a wedding and really only looking for a "Keys" style property for which to sleep. Our cottage was 8A and perfect for our needs...a bed and a bathroom. Many of our friends were envious as they were further down the road, in a more traditional chain hotel, and paid more $. We sunbathed on the dock and enjoyed the overall quaintness. There are a few restaurants and bars within walking distance too. It's not fancy by any means, but that's not at all what we had hoped for on this trip. read more

Clean, great view, great service! Love free kayak rentals and the beach setup Great location close to everything. CVS near in case you forget something. They have awesome grill and barbecue area this is not an upscale place but it's totally clean and comfortable. We have been 3 times in 2 months and going back over the weekend The staff there is super awesome! read more

What a beautiful little getaway in The Florida Keys. Nicely furnished, clean and friendly staff. Literally walk outside your room and onto the beach. Bring your boat, use of dock is also footsteps from your bungalo. We will definately be back! read more

We found this place to be quaint and cute and would have given it a 4 or 5 until we discovered our cottage shared a room with another and the walls were literally paper thin. Guys next door rolled in 10:30 and even in regular conversational tones, we could hear every word and their TV until nearly 3 AM and we had to get up at 7AM so we were less than pleased. #1 function of a hotel is a good nights sleep and that was not possible even with a white noise app running on my iPad, iPhone AND with ear plugs in. We were in 8A. I would strongly recommend finding a different room as this also backs up to the highway and is furthest from the water. If you get a better room this place would be amazing! Check in early and enjoy the free kayaks and the many places to enjoy the nice weather. read more

We found this place on Yelp an hour before we arrived. Manager said he'd hold a room with NO deposit necessary. Dog friendly - no size limits for well behaved dogs. Reasonable pet fee. Generous sized cottage with private enclosed entrance area. Very clean units, newer remodeled bathrooms and bed linens were refreshing. Small, but nicely appointed grounds: Bar hut and waterfall pond, hammocks, fire pit, garden pathway. 40 feet from private beach where there is free use of paddle boards and kayaks, a ramp with walk out pier, 3 lanais with lounges and additional lounge chairs on da beach. Next door is a lively beach restaurant with live music. Walking distance to Mrs. Macs (another review) for which the manager gave us a coupon for more freebies. For the price and service we were very pleased. read more

Great staff. Cute, small, adequate rooms. More like staying in a cabin vs a hotel, but we liked that. Got a free upgrade to a larger room on arrival. Awesome sunset views and private pier. Free kayak rental for the area. Would recommend. Great price. Tip: make your own margaritas and get yourself some microwave pizza rolls for a little romantic sunset dinner on the pier. Can hear the live music from the restaurant next door. read more

GREAT location, lovely clear water beach and dock and tiki huts. Restaurant/bar/live entertainment right next door - just walk on over. FRIENDLY people. Cute little accommodations ranging from cottages to RVs! Affordable, kitchy and with views and sunsets to LOVE. You can spend hours just wading around or swimming the shallow clear waters with tons of fish and sealife! NOT fancy, just relaxing! :) read more

Great outside area to sit along the water and nice restaurant/bar right next door with live music. Room was terrible and not worth $200 a night. It was very small hard to move around with 2 people in it. The shower leaked dripping all night long which was extremely annoying. Not worth the money spent. Breakfast was coffee and orange juice that was all. read more

This place is awesome....when you pull in you're going to think the Flintstones live here...absolutely a cool little place to stay...great places to eat just steps away...if you don't appreciate this place you are a traveling snob.!!!...Unbelievable spot to witness one of the prettiest sunsets you'll ever see !!! read more

Great location and amazing sunsets! but need a pool and more outdoor dining tables and seating. Try to get the oceanfront (rooms 7, 9 and 10 is the best ones) other then that its relaxing, free kayaks and nice people. read more

Pretentious people need not apply. This place is for fun loving only. We are coming back. Live music from next door bar. Need beach shoes for swimming read more

This place is great!!!! The animal statues were a big hit with the young one in our group. Free internet, free kayak use, super friendly staff, and a nice little beach were all things that made me adore this place. read more

Love this place! Such a gem! You get that at home feel! Great little beach, dock, tiki huts to relax under! Perfect place if you're looking for quiet! read more

So much good to say about this place. I booked this spot on a recommendation from a local airbnb owner and loved it! Friendly people, clean, comfy cottages, and plenty of privacy. I was worried about other reviews paper thin walls, but we didn't have any problems. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. read more

Super cute, quaint little beach resort with quirky rooms and cabins, no two are alike. It was quiet but still busy. Loved the little beach and piers at the end of the road and they give you free kayaks and SUPs with the room!! That's a great perk, along with the snack breakfast. The staff was super friendly and wrote down my suggestions that would make the little bungalow we stayed in a little more user friendly. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the decor needed fixing and updating. The curtains were hung too high so we had to put up cards in the bottom of the window for privacy and they were falling down. The mirror in the bathroom was hung too low so when you turned the faucet it got knocked off. Also, there was pretty painting above the bed we had to take down because there was no headboard and our backs would have ruined it. We would stay there again and try a different room. read more

I wish I could give this "resort" zero stars in all honestly. I do agree with the majority of the reviews that the location is fairly ideal, since it's right on the beach and has a pier. However, the rooms were pretty small. That's not even the biggest issue. For starters, there is very little parking spots. The receptionist approached us more than 4 times to tell us to move our cars. We stayed at this motel for one night and two days. The first day was fine and we had no issue at all. The next day, a few more people from our family arrived to enjoy the beach while we were still staying at the motel. They brought jet skis and to unload them in the water they parked the trucks right in front where they were not blocking any cars or taking up any reserved parking spaces. The first time they told us to move the cars they also told us we needed to check out since we were on the beach and we weren't eating breakfast like they had thought. Afterwards, they let us stay at the beach for longer time and we turned in our room (definitely clean and tidy). We also parked our cars at a different location. They approached us again with the same complaint and we ended up paying half the price of a night for a few more hours only. The receptionist was kind and treated us with respect most times, but once the manager arrived it was a completely different situation. I PAID for check out at 11PM and the manager had the audacity to tell us we needed to check out at 5PM. We didn't even take the room key. We left them the empty room, just to stay at the beach. We moved the cars once more and later, another argument with the manager came along. We bought another room for a full night and they continued to complain about where we park our cars. The stay wasn't worth it with the constant complains and the manager disrespecting us. He stared at us as we were packing our stuff and leaving and stood behind us nearly the whole time. I would also like to state that the rooms were not renovated or up to date, the water leaked most of the time, the kitchen appliances were out of date, and the lights were as well. In the second room we rented there wasn't even air conditioning, just a fan! I do not recommend this motel to anyone unless you are willing to put up with the manager who does not know how to treat guests. read more

Not a cookie cutter resort. Each room is different. We stayed in room 8. Room was clean, staff was helpful, had full sized fridge and stove. Really was like an efficiency than a hotel room. Air conditioning worked well but if turned off could hear traffic noise even at night. That said this is the unit next to the road and wasn't a problem if a/c is on. They allow pets. Is family friendly. Is not fancy and some furnishings were older but adequate. read more

We rented Cottage #2, which was very small, but clean and had all the essentials. The location is great. A quick walk to several restaurants and has beach access. Breakfast was coffee/orange juice and packaged danishes. The staff is friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a five star resort, this is not it. However, if you're interested in a "Rustic Keys", convenient experience, we'd recommend Sunset Cove. Very dog friendly with low pet fee. read more

My husband and I came here for my birthday two years ago And absolutely loved the place. We stayed in the "pelican" room. Very comfortable not fancy but funky and different, Love the entire atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. The only place i will ever be staying at in key largo. Will be back in May! read more

stayed in march, had one of the first 6 rooms by the hwy. the noise and shaking of the cabin from the trucks all night was a bit much, had to use ear plugs the last night, not to mention how hard the beds were and needing a step ladder to get into it, and forget about the TV in the room.(I've stayed in motel 6's that were less noisy.) if you wanted to use the free stuff you had to hang around the motel all day and wait your turn cause they stopped letting them out at 6:00. there wasn't much to paddle around to see but the ducks of the other motels. I came to see the keys not stand in line at a motel to use someones sloppy wet boat. the fat gal at the check-in desk gave us a dirty look when I told her we never got an e-mail conformation, breakfast? well coffee, tea and muffins . we'll stay somewhere else next time. I hear theres a nicer place a couple keys further down and doesn't cost as much.. read more
