Kingsail Resort

I looked for an inexpensive place one night stay for a wedding that we attended. The Kingsail "Resort" is listed as a resort but I would probably not consider it a resort. The Kingsail has typical Key style accommodations. The front staff was super nice and very accommodating; could've left our bags with the front desk, but chose to leave it in the car. We couldn't get checked in early since there was a marathon but she did call me as soon as our room was available. We received a free upgrade from a regular room into a suite which was a nice perk. The room itself was clean.... a bit of a weird setup with the kitchen and just a couch and a little table in the front part of the room with two queen beds in the room behind it. It looks like a very small apartment. The bathroom was small but the shower itself was very big it took up half the bathroom. Do not expect to Hilton and you will not be disappointed I was very happy with the room. We live in Florida and are very familiar with traditional Keys accommodations. Be forewarned - crowing roosters are wandering the property....if you're not used to that, the crowing could be a little annoying for some; I thought it was a nice touch. They will walk up to you as though they're looking for food but they are not aggressive.

Love the convenience of having a boat ramp somewhere to dock your boat and park your trailer. My wife loved the scented soap the size of the shower especially with little ones.

Coffee provided from 8-11AM outside nice. View of cove & watching airplanes cool. Not used pool, but nice too. Daily Rooster “alarm clock”was amusing! Location across from Wooden Spoon was perfect!👌

Compared to other marathon area motels , this one is better than most... It's old but it's waterfront is real. The boat ramp is a difficult backup but is available. Having no breakfast is a bummer but free coffee at the dock is fine. Everything in area is way too expensive for the services provided though... Marathon does not compare to islamorada... If you need a place to stay in Marathon, this is the place.

The dock and lanai were great. So is the location. Room was spacious and well stocked. Very clean. Good value for the Keys. We were worried about the beds as this is always an issue for us. The one looked awful and made lots of noise but we both slept great. The foot being slightly elevated on that bed was actually what my husband needed. We like to get 2 doubles instead of a king in case the beds are not great. They tend to do better with just 1 person. We do this everywhere not just here. It worked well though.
