Pros:

I enjoyed the excellent location and the rates.
Unfortunately, after many many years in business the one story building is being torn down very very soon and a new multi story building will be erected...possibly as condos..not sure.

Pros:

Property outlived its life expectancy with no investment in improving and maintaining rooms and bathrooms. The best feature is the location is next to the beach, but I would not stay there again given how outdated the rooms and bathrooms are.

Pros:

It’s over guys! Spoke to Juan the property is sold will be demolished and they are sadly building condos in this amazing piece of paradise!
So many years of great beach, wonderful staff and such an amazing getaway like you are not in Florida whatsoever, but only somewhere in the Caribbean ! I could see why Richard Nixon had a home in Key Biscayne!

Last of ‘old florida’
Pros:

Silver sands is a quaint, nostalgic property that sits right on the beach. We are so fortunate to have stayed there, rumor is it has been sold. It will be torn down and the old Florida charm will be replaced by a more expensive high rise, sad.

Great Stay!
Pros:

Lovely little resort, classic/retro florida style - was really happy to share this place with my daughter. Felt like my child hood! It was nice to not be a high rise, almost fake fancy feeling hotel.

Warm pool, complimentary beach towels, and direct beach access.

Perfect stay, ready to come back for another winter escape!

Pros:

This is a genuine old fashioned motel right on an excellent beach and with a nice heated pool as well. It’s surprising it’s still here. As far as I can tell there’s nothing else like it in Miami, and certainly not on the enclave of Key Biscayne. Our room had a kitchenette, very helpful for a week long stay. The free parking makes a big difference. The rooms are fine, nothing special. All that matters is that they are clean and comfortable, and they are. The large central courtyard was a surprise. It’s beautiful and a quiet place to sit. But the best thing is the beach. The best in Miami and right there, just over the sand dune. A rare find.

Sleep in your car, it will be a better experience.
Pros:

It was like staying in a halfway house, there were people living in their rooms full-time. I didn't have hot water for two days. My TV didn't work, and the wifi would throttle to zero every 15 minutes and disconnect your device. The beds had a bottom and top sheet, and that was all. The last straw was when I stepped out of my cold morning shower and cut my foot on a piece of glass on the floor. Just sleep in your car, it would be more comfortable and less frustrating.

Old and run down-basic cleanliness
Pros:

Very old and run down. Furniture falling apart. Bed not horrible. At the risk of repeating myself-just super old. Sheets and bathroom fairly clean however. Cheapest in town-pay for what you get.
