The place is Old. It was clean. You will find rust, chips in the floors, water pressure in the shower(room 33) very bad. The price & location Great. The small pool, was never useable for the 7 nights we were there. It was Green & cold. The continental breakfast & parking are worth it alone. I would stay there again. I visit Key West one or two times a year.

We love our stay at Southwinds. There are a couple things that could make it much better: 1. Some hooks on the shower door or bathroom wall for towels. 2. A bit more water pressure or a new shower head. Other than that - it's always a pleasure staying at Southwinds. We love the location. It's quiet. It's in walking distance to many of the locations we love. The Tipsy Rooster is a great bonus also. The beds are comfortable. The AC works great. The pools are amazing.

Keep in mind it’s a motel! Staff were very friendly and the place was clean, as was the bathroom. Never entertained the two pools they have but people seemed to enjoy them. I think my only don’t is the property owns a bar next door and if your room is next to it - it can be quite noisy. Otherwise if ya not looking for all the fancy frills go for it, I’d stay again. They accommodate parking too, we rented a golf cart and it was no problem parking on the property. Enjoy!

Quaint motel in a great location. Everything is in walking distance. Motel is older but clean. Check in was easy and the employees were really nice. Breakfast was sufficient, tied us over until lunch. We had a total of 4 rooms. Ours was small but we don’t spend much time in there so it was fine. Our only issue was how loud the air conditioner was when it clicked on, yikes. We would all come back again. Definitely recommend staying here.

We loved our stay here. The room was clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. We loved the bar out front and the live music. And the close proximity to the beach. The pool was nice. Great location to everything we walked alot and also took an uber. Would have liked another luggage stand or somewhere for our clothes but, we knew coming that the room didn't come with dressers or a closet. We will definitely come stay here again.
