Grassy Flats Resort & Beach Club

Grassy Flats Resort & Beach Club

8/10 Good
"I’d say the property is boutique, Florida Keys chic. After being greeted by beautiful lush greenery and a small circular gravel driveway the building is straight up Key West style but bonus, it’s on Marathon. It’s on the beach with an intimate pool area and oversized wooden balconies. Exactly what I was looking for. Food? Oh yah, 5 star NYC chef quality in a comfy casual seaside atmosphere with a full bar. Rum connoisseurs will love it. I counted 47 red wines on the menu. I highly recommend a hotel stay or stopping in for a meal. The only issue for me was the inability to do what I came to do because of the sargassum (red algae) ALL over the Keys. NOT the hotel’s fault which is why the 5 stars. All I wanted to do is sit on the balcony, swim in the pool and walk on the beach. Personally I could only spend 3-5 minutes outside with the smell. Horrible stuff. Luckily the room was comfy and completely blocked out the stench."

MILLION DOLLAR VIEW very private 4 bedroom resort with pool, pier, kayaks, spa

10/10 Excellent
"We just wrapped up a magical week at this amazing property! We were fortunate to have all four of kids and a son in law with us. The pier is incredible! 285’ into the Gulf! We saw a manatee, several tarpon, and two types of sharks. We also caught snapper, grunt, barracuda and more with cut bait. The pool was immaculate and the house doesn’t disappoint in any way. Plenty of cookware, dishes, and utensils for us to stock up and use the fully equipped kitchen. Great week at a great place!"

"I didn't want to leave!! I've been religiously coming to the keys every summer for the past 10 years and every vacation usually by the end of my stay, I'm ready to go home, but this was my first time that I didn't want to leave! By far, my favorite stay! For me and my family it was the perfect location, beautiful property, beautiful views, perfect for fishing, swimming, snorkeling, boating, loved the privacy, everything about it was perfect! Everyone with booking was so kind and always answered any of my questions. I couldn't ask for a better experience. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to give my kids the best memories! I can't wait to come back!"

10/10 Excellent
"Staff was friendly. Room was great stocked with dishes microwave full size frig. Spacious and had a pull out couch bed that was so helpful. Had a front area with tables and chairs, plus umbrellas. Pool was clean and refreshing. They even had kayaks, paddle boards to use for free. Bikes for free. Even breakfast for free. And not just your continental one, we had eggs, pancakes, bacon,sausage, French toast, It was awesome. I’m so glad I chose them. I felt safe since I travel alone with my teenager that means a lot to me. It’s close to a lot of excursions and beaches."

"Overall, the house was great for our family of 6 adults and 1 toddler. I think the inside of the house was exactly as pictured and very nice. The outside, however, I would not rave about. Something unspecified in the listing and unknown to us newcomers is that the Florida Keys’ beaches fill with sargassum (a sulfur smelling seaweed) in the summer months. Anytime we went outside, we would nearly throw up from the smell. I messaged the host about this and was told there are sometimes community efforts to clean it but nothing would be done. Also, the pool looked dirty but it was just where the paint had rubbed off on the frequently used parts. If you are looking for a house to stay in, I think the house is great and incredibly nice! If you’re wanting to stay here in summer months to soak in the beachfront part of the house, I don’t think I could completely recommend it."
