We rented this hotel and they told us that the deluxe King Room from which we paid $166.00 a night will have an Ocean view private balcony. Turn out that when we got there our "Ocean view balcony" was not more that the hall way to all the other rooms.... yes, we did had a ocean view but not a private balcony. For the Money was not worth it. I could just rent a room for $110 a regular room at Southernmost Hotel (owned for the same company but across street). They were under construction (which I new about) but they never told me that the Pool was going to be close, so we had to cross street to the Southernmost Hotel to go to the pool (which had the tiki bar closed as well) The cleaning service was nice, and the location of the hotel is excellent.
I have no kids but I also have another complaint: On Saturday July 26 they had a concert in the private beach the Hotel has. So since Friday they were doing preparations. Same people from the hotel that had kids did not buy the tickets (which I understand since it was $25 per person) the problem is that they CLOSE down the beach from 2 pm on Saturday (when the concert was going to be at 7 pm) and they did not allow people to go to the ocean. WHY??? Why? People rented the hotel for that weekend was not advised that the beach was going to be close down!... now think about this: you have kids in a Hotel in Key West with a closed pool and closed beach.... no fair!!!!!!
They also gave us two room’s keys (as usual) but by the second day one of the keys did not work any more and we got lock outside the room for 15 minutes until someone came and told us that “it was nothing but a OP (operation problem) with a bad attitude like if we were responsible.
Poor customer service!

“Great Location”

Southernmost on the Beach

2/2 found this review helpful

I loved the location. It is at the quiet end of Duvall Street and a short walk to art shops, good dining, a wine bar. It is about a 15-20 minute walk to the west end of Duvall Street if you want to hit the bars. They are building another addition to their existing 4 properties. Our pool was closed but had the use of two others one being across the street from our hotel. The beach was out front but wasn't raked and smelled at times, I would recommend the pool. The pelicans seemed to find enough fish to keep them busy. We were on the first floor and the people above us were heavy on their feet and once woke me up at 5am when it sounded like they jumped out of bed. It may be due to the ceramic flooring, no sound absorber like carpeting. The room however was very nicely decorated and I can understand the problem with other types of flooring in that weather. There was no breakfast but I would recommend either Bannana Cafe, one block up on Duvall, the bagel place across the street or Blue Heaven. There was no parking fee either which is a plus. I will stay there again but ask for a top floor.

Stayed here for 5 days had a great time.Rooms were clean and tidy staff very helpful. Aircon was a bit noisy.
Try and book an upstairs room they are slightly bigger and theres a small balcony as well.
No real beach to speak of but there is plenty to do nearby. Would definitely recommend the snorkelling trips had a great day out.

What a lovely website--how beautiful it looks on line---we decided that is where we will celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. And then we got there:::
The Pool---closed--Why? CONSTRUCTION on the property. The Beach---dirty, seaweed (never raked up)and the smell. I am not kidding--it smelled. The odor carried its way into the resturant on the beach. (made breakfast unbearable)---
The rooms were clean--They did have other properties across the street that had pools and we were allowed to use them. But honestly that just took away from the romantic feel of the place. We paid to have ocean view and on the beach and near the pool. But the pool was closed, the beach was dirty and smelled and we had to walk across the street to the other property to swim--We might just have well not paid the extra money to stay by the beach it was a waste. We are frequent travelers of beaches and this I tell you is NOT a beach. Ask before you book.

“Nice stay at Southernmost on the Beach”

We stayed at Southernmost on the Beach from June 29-July 5.
We got a great rate and I was aware of the construction and beach conditions so I was not disappointed. We were in room 122 which would be an ideal location next to the pool. Unfortunately, the pool was closed due to a broken pipe the entire time we were there. We did use the pool at the sister property across the street which, at this point is much nicer anyway. Actually, their are 2 pools at the sister property, one with a Tiki Bar and one without.

Our king room was nice, not huge but nice for 2 people. Housekeeping did a good job coming around 3:00 or so most days. There is a mini fridge and coffee maker but no microwave.
Wireless internet is available.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We had Keys Kash Vouchers for $20 for breakfast at the cafe and for 2 free tickets to Mel Fishers. They were out of them the first day but had them ready for us the next morning. They also made reservations for us at Santiago's Bodega, called cabs, whatever we needed they were happy to help.

The Southernmost Beach Cafe is a nice place for breakfast. The croissant breakfast sandwich is huge. Hubby enjoyed his omelet as well. I have to say that Cathy was the hardest working server there.

The private sunning pier is nice. It is the best place to enter the water. The water is only about 4 ft deep there and you can swim or wade toward the neighboring resorts.

Overall, we were very satisfied and would stay again if the price after construction is complete doesn't go beyond our reach.
