Thanks to Theresa and Raul for their wonderful hospitality this past weekend in Cedar Key. We enjoyed our stay in their very clean, quiet and historic Gulf Side Motel. We also enjoyed their company and conversation while swinging in the Gulf breezes under the canopy. We'll definitely return. Norma and Gene Rizzo

It is what it is; a 60 year old building. All the usual stuff is here (TV, fridge, coffee maker, AC, ... room 5). The bathroom is very small and in my room the toilet seat was not properly screwed to the floor. There is no maid service, but I only stayed for one night, so that was ok. It... More

I read the reviews here before booking and am very happy with our choice. The motel is a time capsule look at days gone by. The room was clean and comfortable and looked exactly like their website. A very pleasant surprise was the excellent wi-fi which came in handy when I had to finish up a project for work before... More

My husband and I decided to take a motorcycle ride down to Cedar Key for a few days. We didn't have reservations anywhere.

My husband and I visited Gulf Side last year and found it comfortable and relaxing. We returned this year and were amazed at the difference. The managers, Theresa and Raoul, were incredible! They made our visit fun, graciously tended to our needs, and made our visit a great experience. We hope that they stay; we certainly want to return! And... More

At the end of the day, I would not stay at the Gulf Shores again. The staff at the motel is very nice and helpful. We spoke to them several times before our trip due to questions about the pet policy/kayaking/etc. The outside of the motel looks clean and neat. Our room, the smallest at the hotel, was a bit...

GREAT room to stay in. My fiance and I stayed in just a standard room. Although not being able to use the small fire pit on their patio was a disappointment. It was a pretty cool area to cook on the grill and sit and relax there, but no fire pit. Fishing right off the dock that's literally a 5... More

All the rooms have their own charachter and charm.It is located in walking distance of everything and the owners are terriffic and work hard to make your stay... More
