As a life long Floridian, having spent quite a bit of time in the Keys, I can only say this......I was so at home. This little gem is truly a snapshot of the reality of the Keys experience as it is meant to be. If you are looking for an elegant room to sit in and be waited upon and... More

We loved our stay at the Gulf View - May 2012. It's a small hotel with beautiful, private, well-cared for grounds and everything you could want. On the water with boat dock, beach with tiki hut & gas grill; pool with views of ocean; lovely shady area with palm trees and hammocks by the ocean. Dock with kayaks, canoes, and... More

We just returned from a vacation to the Keys and a week long stay at Gulf View Waterfront Resort. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a laid back, enjoyable week in the Florida Keys. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. The rooms were clean and accommodating. The kitchen had the essentials to cook a great meal... More

Just returned from my first trip to the Florida Keys and was lucky enough to have chosen the Gulf View for my stay. Very nice place, great location. The grounds are beautiful, pool area is perfect and there were so many places to relax from the hammocks, to the sandy beach area to using the kayaks or canoes. Our room... More

We had a lovely stay here in mid-April. We actually chose the Gulf View because it was just a couple of doors away from the Dolphin Research Center, and we had planned to swim with the dolphins (our 12-year old son's birthday present). The rooms themselves are pretty basic but clean and functional (microwave, refrigerator). What we liked most was... More

It was exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful setting of palm trees and hammocks overlooking the gulf, and we could see it all from our porch! We stayed at the King size "Blue & Gold Macaw" room and would highly recommend it. The staff was friendly and helpful. There were others there, but the place was not packed which... More

Gulf View is a beautiful, private, and quiet spot to vacation. The family that owns the inn is very helpful. We stayed in one of the efficiencies and it was perfect for our quiet get-away. There is maid service, but only touch-ups while you're there, not a full cleaning. Sge made the bed and took out trash, but didn't clean... More

We stayed recently for three nights and couldn't have picked a better spot to stay, or tour the keys i.e. close to all the sights and attractions, yet occupying its own quiet, pretty location; Grassy Key really is a nice place. The accommodation was clean, spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. The on site amenities were very good notably the pool, the... More

Clean family run resort; over the yrs, we have seen much improvement with something new added or updated. The owners ensure comfort. The room was well stocked with lots of towels. Well maintained property features pool, mini-zoo w/ birds and turtles, comfortable hammocks, putting green, fishing dock. Some folks bring boats. Close enough to all Keys attractions to visit from...

After a long flight from England and the travel down from Miami we were so happy to find we had selected a lovely place to stay (for our few days down in the keys).
