The location of this motel is ideal especially if you are doing fishing in the Keys. We were not fishing but it was still an easy drive into Key West which was the primary destination on this trip. The cabin was nice and clean with two double beds, cable tv, a bathroom and a kitchenette with a stove/oven, microwave, sink,... More

We found this place by accident ( March 19, 2012) and scored the last room Mark Fleer had, a large efficiency. The room was clean, the kitchen perfect, the living room and dining area huge for a motel, and the view from the king-size bed from the large window facing the water was wonderful. We could see the dock, the... More

My husband and I went to Key West during Christmas, we booked a standard room in Bonefish Motel at noon and gave the owner our credit card information and everything. He told us to call him after we went back from Key West after 9pm. We trusted him that we got a place to stay at night and had a... More

We stayed three nights there over the new year's weekend and found the room clean, the linens fresh and the appliances all functioning. In such a high-humidity environment, I wasn't shocked to see a spot of rust, but I was surprised to see there were no bugs. I've seen the other reviews and just want to say that this motel... More

Stayed 5 days. The room was decent, cold a/c, cold refrigerator, hot water, clean, no bugs (even my friend's $800,000 home in Marathon had bugs when we visited). If you don't know anything about the keys, these buildings are old and have weathered at least 3 major hurricanes. Boat ramp easily handled my 21footer. Dock is nice + protected. I... More

Mold in the refrigerator; dead bugs in the cabinets, holes in the screens and a toilet that looks as though it hadn't been cleaned after several uses. Shall I continue? Shredded bedding, hair in the sinks, grease all over the stove, dirt and stains in the dresser. Dust, dirt and grime everywhere. Topped off by a weird urine-ish odor. We... More

We read the reviews in tripadvisor and decide to book in this motel (BTW, I think the review talking about room 312 must be from Bonefish Resort and not from Bonefish Bay Motel, this motel doesn't have 312 room). We spent one night in our trip to Key West in Bonefish Bay Motel and we were happy that we finally... More

I read the previous reviews and thought this would be a nice place to stay. There is a lot of potential here, but not realized. The positive is that the internet works, and it was nice having a kitchen and a separate bedroom. The bad is that almost everything is in disrepair. Both lights in the bathroom have a bulb... More

I spent 6 weeks this winter in unit 312...absolutely loved it. Unit 312 has everything. Charming, quiet, clean, spacious and the most spectacular ocean front view from living room and private front porch. An unforgetable and timeless traditional Keys experience...will be back every winter. More

My fishing buddy and I stayed at the Bonefish Bay Motel for over a week during March 2009 and had a great experience. The kitchenettes and rooms are vintage 1940 - 1950 but very clean and efficient. The wireless internet and cable TV signal is strong in each room. Great central location on Duck Key. We are returning for a... More
