Old Wooden Bridge Resort and Marina

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing vacation in the Keys and truly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was very comfortable, the beds were clean, and everything was spotless when we arrived. We also loved the location—it was convenient and beautiful. One of our favorite parts of the trip was seeing so many deer around the property, which made the experience even more special. As a suggestion for improvement, it would be nice if guests staying for a week or longer could receive housekeeping service at least twice during their stay, including fresh towels. Also, the swimming pool could use better maintenance, as it was not kept as clean as we expected. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again."

Sugarloaf Key Hotel at KOA Resort

8/10 Good

"Overall it was a great experience. All staff is really kind. Our room had dogs hair on the floor when I first swept and bed isn’t too comfortable but room overall looks beautiful and is well maintained. Bar and pool close a bit early but like everything else in the keys. Only annoying thing is marina rental closes super early and last call for rental is too early as well but the place is nice especially if you have children. It’s clean, easy to move around, close to Key West. Bartenders are all super nice and there are different activities like smores or live singers. It was a great experience. We will be back."

Looe Key Reef Resort

8/10 Good

"Very "Florida Keys" type of place to stay. The good: Very convenient, super friendly staff, big pool, the overall "Keys" vibe. Rooms were decent and clean. Dive and snorkeling trips daily and a very convenient Shell station next door. The not so great: Rooms a bit dated and in need of some minor repairs here and there. The Tiki Hut ran out of food for a couple of days so we had to search out other places to eat in the evenings. Nothing was bad enough for us to not want to go back! Outstanding staff!"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Sands?

The best time to visit Sands, Florida, is from March to May and again from September to November. These periods offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and generally more comfortable conditions for exploring.

Spring in Sands, from March to May, brings warm, sunny days with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 28°C. The humidity is lower than in summer, making it ideal for outdoor activities like beach strolls, golf, or visiting the local nature preserves. You'll find the beaches less crowded than during the peak summer months, and accommodation prices can be more favourable. This is a great time for couples looking for a relaxing escape with plenty of sunshine and opportunities for romantic dinners by the water.

Autumn, specifically September to November, is another excellent time to visit. The summer heat and humidity begin to subside, with temperatures similar to spring, typically between 22°C and 29°C. The ocean remains warm enough for swimming well into October. This period also sees fewer families travelling, making it appealing for solo travellers seeking a tranquil break, perhaps for some quiet time on the beach or exploring the area's art galleries without the bustling crowds.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Sands hotel for you.
