The beach!!
Gerry L.

My wife surprised us for a nice little getaway to Key Largo this past weekend. Upon arriving to the property which is called Bayside Inn I was shocked because I stayed in the same place 30 years ago with parents. The place gave me a hit of nostalgia from that trip. The hotel has showed some age from the simple rooms to the tiny bathroom. It has a little man made beach on the back, which was awesome to see the sunsets.

We booked our room at Bayside Inn Key Largo thru Booking.com. We had to pay up front. We were supposed to have 2 beds, all the amenities plus a private pool and a view of the Premier Island water view. After we were checked in by a lady who's name we didnt catch, another lady by the name of Sharon or Shari took us to a first floor room by the parking lot with NO private pool and NO view of Premier Island. Our view was of a oil tank or gas tank in some weeds in the back parking lot about 10 feet from our window!! Really?? Shari said this was the room we would have and the room we paid for was already taken and that they only have 3 of those type of rooms and they are always booked up by "regulars". So we were out of luck! We were crushed! Why did they even advertise them? They don't allow cancellations and we didn't want to lose our money for a 2 night stay. I couldn't believe we had a Bait and Switch scam played on us. We didn't know what to do. This was not right. However, Shari remembered there was a 2-bed room on the 3rd floor that had basically the same view but showed more of the tops of the trees instead of the gas tank. She urged us to at least look at it. We looked and it wasn't as bad as the other one and we didn't want to drive all the way home or lose our entire payment so we accepted. I wasn't pleased that we paid for a private pool and water view and had to settle for this average room. I could see that Shari was uncomfortable about what happened. She helped us bring up all our suitcases and was a very nice lady. I dont think she was at fault in this situation. I would like to know who was though. Our room in 316 was clean and seemed a bit larger than the 1st floor one. The view was of tree branches with pretty green leaves and we saw the gas tank below us and the parked cars. As long as we didn't look down, it was ok. We had a desk, dresser drawers, a fridge, a safe, a microwave, coffee maker, ironing board and iron, a roomy closet and a private shower/toilet with door. The sink was next to the entry. The beds and pillows were comfortable. Everything worked fine. The swimming pool in the back could use updating and was only 3 ft deep even though in the middle it said 4 ft. I knew it wasn't 4 ft because I am 5'6" and it came to my waist. It's not cold when you get in. There were chaise lounges available with small tables. The private beach area is small but very nice. There were paddle boards and kayaks available. People were swimming and sunbathing. Next door was Snook's restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner and there was a shortcut to it near the pool. Great food and ambiance at Snook's. If we didn't have the fiasco that we experienced, then I might have given 3.5- 4 stars. Bayside does take good care of the rooms and Shari was outstanding with her customer service.

Beach area to take out paddle boards and kayaks. Also docks with chairs and water access for swimming and sunbathing.

Loved this motel. It was so convenient and clean. The rooms are upgraded and felt very clean (minus all the sand we tracked in). The bathroom is upgraded with a nice walk in shower. The water access was my favorite part. They have a great waterfront area with seating, hammocks and a pool. The best part is the complimentary SUPs and Kayaks! I loved taking those out in the evening. The bar next door was also amazing. Good food, great drinks, and walking distance to our room. Overall I didn't have any negatives to my stay and would 100% book here again.

Stayed here over the weekend and was pleasantly impressed. The staff was accommodating as we had an issue upon arrival. Our room was rennovated, spacious, modern, and very clean. Love that they provide Tommy Bahama products in the room (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, & lotion). Our room was steps away from their pool, cabanas and beach. They have kayaks and paddleboards for use on the beach. They also have beach cruisers for guests to enjoy. The property is a few steps away from Snooks restaurant and tiki bar. Parking was also a breeze. This super cute hotel is also pet friendly. Loved our stay and will likely be back. Thank

Great location. Right next to a restaurant called snooks which has good food and live music/ drinks. They even have happy hour. The rooms were clean, nothing spectacular but decent for the price. We chose this hotel because it's dog friendly but we were a little disappointed that we were told dogs aren't allowed in the water at the beach. In my opinion that is not completely dog friendly so just keep that in mind if you plan to bring your fur baby. Other than that the sunset and beach setup was spectacular and the staff is friendly.

This bullshit

Rebecca and Kat are extremely unprofessional. I checked in on 8/31 and paid my bill of $657.66. Today I looked at my checking account and they had charged me again, nearly another $600. When I called to get things straightened out, Kat told me she only saw the initial charge and then said "Yeah, I don't know what to tell you". I had to call my bank and deal with that for an hour while on my last day of vacation because they are both incompetent. When my husband came into their office he told them we would never stay there again, one of them replied "Well good". Do not stay here unless you want your money stolen and to be treated as a second class citizen. The view from the peasant rooms in the motel sucks too and the bed is uncomfortable and cheap. I hope in the future the owners/managers don't hire idiots to run the place.

Bayside Inn Key Largo has a private beach with access to the water. Enjoy kayaking and paddle boarding from the beach into the Florida Bay.

November 7, 2019 - A judge quashed a previous code enforcement order to shut down weddings on a vacation rental property in Key Largo. Key Largo Lighthouse weddings declared legal by Judge Koenig. Key Largo Lighthouse Weddings are NOT shut down. It should be noted that no weddings were involuntarily canceled or shut down, and no fines were levied against any renters, property owners, or Key Largo Lighthouse Weddings.

It's been a little over three years since my wedding here and it's taken me some time to process…read more While the day itself was special surrounded by so many loving people, looking back I wish I had chosen a different venue. First of all, it was incredibly nerve-wracking to show up the day before my wedding sight unseen. They did not allow us to tour the property before our weekend. Upon arrival, there was a sinking boat in the water nearest to our ceremony site. It appeared in all of the photos and was not a picturesque view to say the least. Also, the beach was rock hard, almost concrete-like sand. I got blisters from dancing on it. My main annoyance of the day (and it was actually more than an annoyance looking back, it was quite distressing) was that I had asked permission to have my two small dogs there for my wedding (which I was then told was ok) only to be yelled at for the property manger on my wedding day for having them there. Not only were they not allowed in outdoor photos (which I'm still so bummed about) she tried to tell me that I had to remove them from the house as well. The dogs were just in the house for a few hours during the wedding, as my husband and I were staying off-site, thank God. My dogs are two mini poodles, not aggressive, don't shed, don't bark, pretty tame creatures. My advice to anyone looking at this venue is to really do you due diligence. It's not cheap to have a wedding here with all of the extra expenses, and I truly feel like there are nicer, more well-kept venues. I wish I would have booked a resort venue that had more amenities and a better atmosphere for out of town guests.

Stayed in the Conch Villa as part of a pretty large wedding event. The first impression when…read moredriving into the place was, "What could possibly be back here that is going to work for a wedding?" However, the answer to that was surprisingly great. The villas have separate rooms with common areas and the one I was in had three bedrooms. The bedroom situation was similar to a hotel room. A nice comfortable bed, a private bathroom, generous closet space, and - most importantly - a good stable temperature even with the thermostat being out in the hall. A ceiling fan helps with circulation, which is great too. The only real downside I can think of is that two of the bedrooms are on the second floor, and you need to take this into account with your luggage as there are no elevators. Well, that and the fact that the finish of the stairs blend into the floor at the bottom so if you are older this might make for a physical perception problem as well. Anyway... Parking is a little tight when the place is full, but the location worked out really well for the wedding ceremony. Out on the point you can see the sunset across the water in the evening. Manatees frequent the dock which are a sight to behold. Across the dock there was a nice flat area on hard sand that was perfect for the reception. Yes, there are water activities including dolphin interactions across the boarder from what are the villas, but I can't make any comment on that part since I didn't manage to even visit over there.

Joe is good to work with. But more importantly you need a great planner. Ours was Jessica G. Events. Was very disappointed in a few of their vendors, I'm posting here because they were recommended by the venue and don't have their own yelp page. Belkis floral- beautiful flowers but forgot the tall floral at the alter and the petals. Forgot we didn't want boutonnières. Very aloof when inquired after the wedding. Sagno catering: The apps were not like we had the tasting. The bruschetta was a tiny bit of tomato topping. Looked very sparse, the dates and walnuts were tiny, only saw the coconut shrimp once in the passed apps. The steak on the main course of the plated dinner was very small nothing like the tasting we had at secret gardens. Chicken Alfredo tortilini was not plated as we tasted. Everything was smaller portioned than our tasting. We did not go with Sagno for the cake since I did not like their cake. We ordered tiramisu, the tiramisu was not made with marscapone instead cream cheese, obviously cheaper and not the right taste. The Miami events- awesome all the way around! The violinist was amazing, the dance floor beautiful and great DJ. Drinks by us- great to work with but only around 8 bottles that were average brands. For a full open bar not sure it would be enough for a lager crowd. There are a lot of additional costs to the all inclusive price. I did feel a little nickeled and dimed about the early access for the brides room. 765.00 to get in the room 7:30 instead of 10. The room is empty and I thought that to be a pricey add on. Beware there is construction on the grounds and the bride and grooms rooms need some updating. All in all the wedding was amazing and like the backdrop of Secret Gardens.

I've been coming to the Pelican for lobster season for quite a few years. My husband actually has…read moreeven more history here--he used to come when he was younger and later returned with a buddy to sell a boat. Back then, before COVID, the property had large tiki huts on the dock, and they even served breakfast in the mornings. After COVID, things seemed to go downhill. During our last trip to the Keys, we actually chose not to stay here because it just wasn't the same. This year, though, we decided to give it another chance, and I'm glad we did. You can definitely tell they've invested a lot of money into improving the property. In previous years, the air conditioners were so weak that we actually packed multiple fans every trip just to stay comfortable. This time, the air conditioning worked great and kept the room nice and cool. That alone made a huge difference in our stay. Another big improvement is the dock. For years, there was a large hole where the old tiki hut used to be, making that area feel unfinished. After more than six years, they've finally repaired the dock. While I do miss the tiki hut, it's nice to see the space usable again. There were also several smaller updates around the property that didn't go unnoticed. Overall, I'm really happy with the improvements. This visit completely changed my opinion, and we'll definitely be staying here again. The only thing I still wish they had is a pool, but that's a minor inconvenience--we usually just head elsewhere for a day pass when we want to swim. It's great to see this place heading in the right direction, and I'm looking forward to returning next lobster season.

There were four of us staying at the villa, and we all left disappointed. The property is beautiful, but the owner/manager's attitude toward guests is a major problem. He constantly bothered us and reprimanded us over different things, and the entire atmosphere felt uncomfortable. We were celebrating my husband's birthday. We were never told that music was completely forbidden, yet we were made to feel like even enjoying music was a problem. I completely understand respecting quiet hours and other guests, but there is a big difference between reasonable rules and making guests feel like they cannot enjoy their vacation. I was also charged $225 for supposedly smoking inside the room. I do not smoke, so I found this accusation and charge extremely unfair. The breakfast was another disappointment. Calling a pastry and poor-quality coffee an "included breakfast" is misleading, especially considering the price of the stay. The property is gorgeous, but you are paying a lot of money for a place where you don't feel comfortable. If you are looking for somewhere to relax, celebrate and actually enjoy your vacation, I would think twice before booking this place. I would not return, even for free.

There are 5 houses located on the property and we rented all 5 (for a reasonable price!). This allowed us to have the entire property to ourselves (which isover 2 acres) and it also allowed us to have people stay right on property with their own space. We were able to have a full weekend of fun. On Friday we had people over that were already in the area for a cookout on the beach. We used one of the speakers on property to connect our music to and just had a relaxing time. On Saturday we had our reception and Bryan and Meegan setup the tables and lights just how we wanted them. The reception was perfect - everyone could be spaced out and sit and relax wherever they wanted to on the property; using the hammock, sitting under one of the many tiki huts, at the beautiful bar, or just relaxing near the beach. On Sunday we had people come back by to use the facilities. There are kayaks, paddleboards, and sand toys that we used. We also bought a couple fishing poles and were able to catch fish right off the dock (you caught a fish everytime you threw your line in!). Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a nice relaxing time. We saw a shark, many fish, manatees, and dolphins. We will definitely be back for family trips! Many people that commented that they wanted to rent the whole place out for vacations as well. Meegan and Bryan did a fantastic job checking in on our needs and making sure everything was going well for us and our guests. If we needed anything they were quick to assist and gave us great advice on where to eat and things to see and do.

We chose to rent and drive from the airport because we had a trip to Key West planned. It's about a 90 minute drive from the airport so, an Uber would have been pretty costly. The valet takes care of your luggage and places it on a golf cart while you check in. The check in process took about 10 min. The front desk staff wasn't super friendly but they weren't rude either. They are supposed to offer you a drink, but we were not offered one by our receptionist while the couple next to us were offered one. No biggie. One thing to note: when you book, 50% is due. Then the other 50% is due thirty days prior to your arrival if you switch your source of payment, they charge you 10%. That same card has do be used for gratuity or add ons. Keep this in mind when you plan. Also, they put a $100/day hold on your card when you check in. After check in, the valet takes you on a tour of the property and then brings you to your room. You'll want to have cash for gratuity for the valet. The Bungalows themselves are gorgeous and offer an outdoor area and outdoor shower. I don't think the beach view bungalows are worth the upgrade. After that, you're on your own for the most part. They schedule your dinner, but other than Bogie and Bacall, they are pretty flexible. Fish Tales is the main restaurant. They offer a four course meal. The food was great. I wouldn't say "amazing" but really well done. The service is impeccable. This is an all inclusive bur gratuity isn't included. This was annoying and probably my biggest complaint. At the end of your meal you are handed a check of all you consumed with a recommend range of gratuity. You put in what you want to leave and sign it and leave. The issue is, it's hard to keep track of how much you're spending. So if you're on a budget, that can be a problem. At night everyone gathers around the tiki bar to enjoy the entertainment. There is only one bad and it fills quickly. The bartenders are also filling drink orders for the pool, and in some situations, Sea Seniors next door. You can also order food at the tiki bar if you choose. It's basic bar food and pizza but quite delicious. There is live entertainment daily from 11-11. There was trivia one night, and karaoke another. But there were no real events offered. In the mornings everyone heads to Fishtales for breakfast. There is a good variety of choices, including a buffet. They do not change it up at all though. So it can get a little boring day after day. They also have a mimosa and bloody Mary self serve bar. Pro tip, bring your own yeti and take two plastic cups of minosa and some ice and put them in your yeti for the pool. There are no drinks served until 11 am at the pool which was pretty odd in my opinion. The tiki bar also doesn't open until 11. It was off season but I will say that the pool didn't really get busy. There are two pools. Ok is a zen pool with little cabana beds. It's more quiet there but the main pool was described as the party pool and he was really chill too. There are about 12 pairs of lounge chairs and umbrellas and two big cabanas with couches. It didn't seem like there would be enough but it ended up to be plenty. We w They have servers come around the pool but it takes quite a bit to get your drinks so pack your patience. They also give you a bill at the end with what you ordered and suggested gratuity. It was easy to forget and just leave so I hated this process. I would have rather been charged a daily gratuity to be split between the staff but that's not what they want to do. Bogie and Bacalls: you get a free night there if you stay for more than 4 days. If you don't it's $300 plus gratuity. This was their high end restaurant and it wand spectacular! You get a ton of food and premium drinks. Expect to tip about $100 here. There is an indoor bar/speakeasy called Hemingways. This is not included in your stay. It's premium cocktails and liquor. There is also the "Family Room" which is a giant indoor/outdoor game room. There are no servers there. If you have a yeti, you could grab a few drinks from the tiki bar and keep it cold. There is a huge TV so we were able to watch the USA game on it with a few other guests. I chose to get a massage. It's a beautiful area of the park but there's no way that 50 min massage was worth $300 + 22% gratuity. They offer water activities. No one was using them. There are some other ads ons but very few guests chose to do them. Overall this is a wonderful, very chill spot and I can see why many guest come back year after year. I wish there were more dining and bar options, and more events offered. The cost was pretty high for what they offer. But we had an amazing time and I'm so glad we did it!
