Sugarloaf Lodge

We stop at SugarLoaf every year on our way to Key West. It is as many people say, a step back in time and how places used to be back in the day. And there is nothing wrong with that. The beds are comfy for me and the staff has always been nice to us. Looks like they have new AC units and TVs in the rooms. The doors lock behind you which is a safety feature that I like. I also like that I can park my car right outside my room. It is true that the tiki bar isn't open any more, but if you read the reviews, you would know that before booking. They do offer coffee in the mornings out under the tiki and it's a nice gathering place. They have a nice pool and my granddaughter loves swimming in it. They do have a wonderful view of the water and some times you will see nurse sharks swimming by the rocks. There are all types of large birds around and other wildlife. All in all we have enjoyed our stays at Sugar Loaf and we will continue to do so.

What a great spot. Just outside of Key West so its a great way to save $ and drive into KW for the day. The sunset views are amazing and the doc was perfect for my boat. Clean rooms with a throwback feel. So cool. A/C was perfect!

Peaceful Retreat We stayed for a week at the 2-story Lodge. Overall, our stay was pleasant. Our intention was to be near my partner’s family as well as convenient to Route 1 (aka, “Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway”). A native of the Lower Keys, my partner was familiar with the area and the Lodge. We found the Lodge to be “retro” in style (as others have mentioned), aka, the décor and style was “dated,” but the staff were friendly, the rooms clean, and the location excellent. The doors to the rooms front on Rt. 1, but the back of the Lodge with individual balconies overlooks Sugarloaf Sound—a beautiful and calm oasis to which to awake each morning. The adjacent Tiki hut offers morning coffee/tea service as well as a shaded place to lounge, but you will need to find a source for breakfast (I think “Baby’s Coffee” is the closest.) The rooms do have mini refrigerators. For dinner and/or cocktails, restaurant “South of the Seven (mile bridge)” is open adjacent to the Lodge’s front desk building. There is also a small marina and skydiving nearby and a small outdoor pool on property.

Ok but needs attention I wanted to give this place better marks because the two guys at front desk were very friendly and accommodating with 12 pm late check out and where to fish advice. This is important if you like to fish because you can’t fish on property and they didn’t answer my message about that when I booked. The stay was ok but property is bit unkept and the floor was not cleaned properly. My socks were proof. This could be a great place with some better upkeep. If I had to stay again I would but wouldn’t be 1st choice.

Awesome experience even the staff
