The perfect summary for this place is...do not judge a book by it's cover. My husband was very skeptical, but I had already read all of the reviews. Our stay was FANTASTIC and we WILL be back. The views were amazing. The breakfast staff and the breakfast were equally as great. We had such a good time and we were there for 7 days. I suggest booking direct with Rainbow Bend to ensure you get one of the best rooms they have to offer. Laura and Cathy were very attentive and nice. We can't wait to come back.

Don't let the shell fool you. On the exterior this place does not look that great; however - their rooms are nice, clean, and have all you need. Room # 10 where we stayed is a two bdrm and has been completely remodeled, everything is new!

We are excited for next summer when the outside will match the inside. We are glad you enjoyed the renovations and we hope you will return once the whole place has had its face lift! Thank you for your review.

The owners and staff have made a gargantuan effort to return the resort to it's pre-Hurricane condition, and it shows. The place was almost completely destroyed last year. It is a miracle that they have come so far. It remains a charming, old-school Florida coeanfront resort that is a great value.

We appreciate your feedback. Many don't understand how far we've come and how hard we are trying to continue to improve our location while still holding on to the Keys feel. Again thank you for your comment.

Where can I begin? The photos posted on the site are pre-Hurricane Irma. The reality is the place should be condemned. The "beach" smells of rotten fish and full of litter. The boats and dock are gone along with lounge chairs. When we entered the room the bed was left as the previous guest left it, messy. Dirty plates left in the sink area. TV laying on the floor uninstalled. The toilet smeared with poop. The room aroma was that of mildew and fresh paint. Rooms are divided by just a door so, you can hear everything. The Gedo neighbor talking, screaming, slamming doors at 3 am. No one to call because front desk people are always gone from the premises. The Wifi never worked....too many things to remember and list. We made a reservation for three days, but only stayed one, because we could get no sleep. We then made reservations at a local Hilton and it was like leaving Dantes Inferno and entering Heaven. THAT WAS MY PUNISHMENT FOR BEING A CHEAP HUSBAND. We wound up spending more money and a day wasted thank to Rainbow Bend Hell !!!
