We spent a week in Feb. at this 'no frills' motel. The owners (Sue and Allen) are extremely accommodating. The rooms vary from really nice to just okay. They were clean and had all the right stuff for our week's stay. The beach was beyond beautiful and if quiet is what you're looking for this is the place. No high... More

We had the 2 bedroom on the 2nd level looking out at the Gulf. Very beautfiul view. This is 4/10 mile from the main beach and is quiet and peaceful. We took photos of the sunset each night. The other occupants that we met had come there for 22 years. Beds were comfortable, everything in the kitchen and room worked... More

We visit Casey key each Christmas and its the highlight of the year! My family have stayed at gulf sands for many years and the location is superb! The beach is just in front of the apartments and the sunsets are exquisite! The apartments have always been shabby but very clean. This year we were gutted to find the apartments... More

If you are looking for a friendly laid back kind of place right on the beach, this is it. My husband and I stayed with my sister in a two bedroom unit. We sat on the deck with a glass of wine looking at the stars and listening to the water at night and walked the beach with our coffee... More

What a great hide away! If you are looking for a quiet layed back vacation this is the place to stay, right on the beach, and I mean on the beach. Gulf Sands is no frills so if you are expecting the Hilton, Sheraton, Marriott this is NOT the place for you. It's a great place to "hang your hat".... More

Came from Michigan to specifically celebrate the New Year at the hotel. My travel partner was hospitalized so didn't have as much time on the beach this visit, but still got some great shots of this great 'Old Florida' atmosphere.

The resort needs updating. The landscaping on the grounds are kept nice, but the rooms need new furnishings, the doors do not close properly, some windows do not have screens, vertical blinds kept falling off, exterior needs painting, the laundry room is full of discarded items. It is a great location right on the beach, but needs some tender loving... More
