At first, we were a little hesitant to book; after all, it is a very old Motel and we read a couple of bad reviews about it. We almost walked away and went somewhere else - BOY, ARE WE GLAD WE DECIDED TO TAKE A CHANCE AND BOOK at KCB Motel! Yes, the Motel is over 50 years old, but it has been very nicely refurbished specially the bathrooms in the rooms. As for the bad reviews, well they are over five years old and I could not find a single trace of any of the faults mentioned in the bad reviews! The motel common areas and the rooms are all very clean, the service to the room was great, and very early each morning, there was a crew going all over making sure everything was clean and fresh to start each day. We used the two BBQs provided (gas included) and in the morning there were at least 3 guys cleaning up the BBQs and the "cooking" area for us to enjoy again. We had such a positive experience that we are already planning out return trips; we are only an hour and a half away and we plan to visit several time a year! The beach, the absolute BEST part of the Motel, is a hidden gem considering the lack of sandy beaches in the keys. Very nice white sand and only a few scattered patches of Sargasso (grassy sea bottom), but you have to go way in deep to see those. It runs from side to side of the hotel property and it is less than 30 feet from most rooms to the water! No more lugging coolers and equipment from the car to the beach or from a "normal" hotel room to the beach. You just have to take a few steps to your room to get whatever you need. There are several thatch roof cabanas with plenty of tables and chairs where you can enjoy breakfast (provided by the Motel), or lunch and dinner while listening to the waves coming ashore. You can even just sit there doing nothing but enjoying the view or you can take a plunge in the clear water! With such a short distance from the room to the beach, we went in and out several times a day; we even had time for a short siesta most days! Oh, and yes, they have a very large pool, but I could not tell you about it because I did not use it at all. Not because it was bad, but because I could not tear myself away from the beach! Next trip, I will try and find some time to take a dip in the pool. Last but not least, the price - Incredible! During the fall months, September to December, the rates are only $120 for a regular side facing room or $200 for each of the four nicely decorated beachfront suites, each with a distinct theme! There is no "resort fee" added to the price of the room, just the plain normal tax. By the way, we went as a group made up of 21 members of our car club! Had the greatest time and even made some friends with the other weekend guests! We exchanged phone numbers with 4 other couples (all one group) so that we could coordinate our return trip soon! One couple from France taught us how to correctly pronounce "Croissant with eggs and sausage", one of the featured breakfast items. The correct way is "Croissant aux oeufs et saucisses", trust me, no at all pronounced as it is written, a BUNCH of the letters are silent and the rest need some emphasis when pronouncing! Thank You Tony and Jen, you are the greatest! Looking forward to our next trip!

There is a pier that is GREAT to fish off of and fully equipped with a hose, cutting board and pole holders. The only thing is I wish was that the pool was more of a relaxing place to hang out. There was a group of people that were loud and obnoxious. They seem to come to these condos every year and we're playing loud music and talking so loudly I could not hear myself think. This would be a great place if you are wanting to socialize and are a social butterfly. For someone that is coming out of working 80 hour weeks and wants to relax and enjoy a clam vacation these rentals may not be the place.

Outside seating area offers great views, but we took an inside table and the vibe was still awesome. Live music was great. Our server Zach was on the mark; checked on us frequently and took care of any requests quickly, and a very friendly dude. We tried: Sparky's Sunset and Coconut Margarita - both very good. Tuna tartare - the sesame sauce wasn't my favorite, but the tuna was fresh and tender. Coconut Shrimp - HUGE shrimp, nice toasty coconut crust, and the sweet chili sauce was a great compliment. 1/2 lb Peel and Eat Shrimp - these were served with butter, cocktail sauce, lemon, and a little cup of add-it-if-you-want cajun seasoning. I tried them all and loved the options. Bacon-wrapped Scallops - these were fantastic!! Super crunchy bacon on the outside, perfectly cooked scallops on the inside. Buffalo Chicken Wings - these had really good flavor, but the skins were a bit tough. Sparky's will be our very first stop on our next stay in the Keys.

The service was quite slow when we got there, it took a bit to get seated even though we were the only ones waiting with numerous open tables.

The high chair was broken but we made it work for our little one. Our server was efficient and friendly, even though it took a bit for her to get to us. The food was good, not the best meal, but definitely good tiki bar food. I got the fish tacos which were good, and fries, they were the best part. We wanted to get dessert but there were so many flies it made us want to leave. To no fault of their own, it's unfortunate, and to be expected at an outdoor spot, but it was an overwhelming amount and we just didn't want to deal with it any longer.
