Had always noticed the South winds Motel right by Tipsy Rooster (my favorite little place in Key West) when I come down but had never stayed until this past weekend. It was perfect for our needs! Plenty of space in the room, including a spacious closet, clean, comfy beds, 2 nice pools to wake you up in the morning after a couple drinks the night before, and while there was limited interaction with the staff, they were great! Easy check-in and out. Truly enjoyed this place and will 100% stay again when I come down next!

Great location! Outside of the Duvall Street bustle but within easy walking distance to everything, including the beach, grocery store and restaurants. The onsite outdoor bar, the Tipsy Rooster, features great drinks and live music. The onsite pools are great. One has plenty of room for the family and the other is heated and provides a quieter, more laid-back and secluded place to relax. My go-to place in Key West for affordability and convenience!

This motel was perfect for what we needed. It had breakfast, two pools, a bar and an ice cream shop with donuts. The location was great with the Deli across the street and the food truck across the other street. It was super close to this other most hotel where you can utilize their lounge chairs and it was a great place to sit right on the beach for food. And if you wanted to take a picture with the famous buoy, it was right there. You could also rent golf carts right across the street as well. A nice walk to Duvall Street. I would definitely return because of the ease of everything.
