Sunset Inn, Islamorada

Sunset Inn offers 20-25 rooms in four buildings, each with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, and free toiletries (Beekman 1802 brand). Rooms are spacious with comfortable beds, white linens, and modern furnishings. Some rooms include kitchenettes with coffee makers and microwaves. The bathrooms are small but have modern showers. Rooms face either the busy Overseas Highway (with hurricane-rated windows to reduce noise) or a quiet residential street. A back door in some rooms leads directly to the pool area.

The hotel has no on-site restaurant, but Mangrove Mike's Cafe is right next door and serves large breakfast portions. Lorelei Restaurant & Bar, a 5-minute walk via the back street, offers harbor-side dining, sunset views, and live music. Islamorada Brewery is across the street. Several other restaurants, tiki bars, and shops are within a mile north or south on the highway.

The heated outdoor swimming pool (open year-round) is surrounded by sun chairs and patio furniture. Guests can use the BBQ grills, picnic areas, and garden. Outdoor games include a giant chess board and ping-pong table. Free bikes are available to explore the area. The pool area is quiet and set back from the road.
