Sadly we stayed for one night only at this wonderful motel on our way back from the Keys enroute to Miami. You reach the hotel directly off the main road and the minute you enter the car park the road outside seems to disappear and you are in beautifully planted gardents which lead out onto a small private beach and...

There are plenty of drawer units, a... More

We stayed at Sands of Islamorada one night, as we were attending the nearby Full Moon party at Morada Bay Beach Cafe. This motel is small (9 rooms) but very nice, with many nice touches. There is a pool and a (covered) hot tub. There were several picnic tables, one of which was by the gas grill (which we used).... More

Stayed in room 16 - husband, Shih Tzu & Me. The room was spotless when we arrived and we were greeted warmly by the Manager. Had a microwave & full size fridge in the room. Our dog was able to walk around freely and lay in the shade next us while sunbathing. Very relaxing experience! The only thing keeping me... More

We enjoyed staying here in spite of how small it is. We stayed in #19. We wouldn't have wanted any other room. It has a hammock on the deck with an awesome view of the ocean and sunrise. Very laid back which is what we wanted. There was a tame squirrel that greeted us every day and we got a... More

We've stayed at the Sands several times in the last ten years, most recently for two days in February. We choose Sands because of its quiet location, clean and practical rooms and relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are clean, comfortable and decorated with tropical "stuff" that makes the place charming. While the AC is a little loud, we just shut it... More

I love homey Mom and Pop places.. and the Sands fills that bill.. Only 18 or 19 rooms, I think ,and on a small property but they make wonderful use... More

Admidedly,we were restricted to a place that would accept our small dog, but Sands of Islamorada was a most pleasant surprise. We love smaller,clean and loveingly kept up older places and Sands fits the bill plus it is right on the water with a dock,pool and hot tub right outside your door ( only nine units). Add super friendly,helpful managers... More

What a great place! Very casual and comfortable. The hosts Kathy and Bob are absolutely great. When we arrived Kathy showed us our room and then gave us a tour of the property, nice welcoming touch. We were in room 11 which had 2 queen beds separated from a sitting area and dining area. The unit had a full size... More
