We drove down in March and met two other couples there. We were looking for a reasonable place to meet our friends and decided we would rather that most of our budget and time would be spent on snokeling, fishing, eating out and at the Beaches then on high priced accomadations. The Bonefish Bay Motel gave us a great price... More

My boyfriend and I went to the Keys for a business trip and were trying to find an affordable place to stay. After calling many places that were booked due to spring break I called Mark the owner of the motel and he pressured me into giving him my VISA info to book a room because it was "going fast"....

There are two Bonefish places near one another: Bonefish Bay Motel and Bonefish Resort. We stayed in Bonefish Bay Motel and it was the worse place I've stayed in decades! It was FILTHY (hair and dirt accumulation along the baseboard in the bathroom, for instance), both windows' hardware was broken and couldn't be closed, the sheets and carpet were stained... More

The bonefish in Duck KEY is simply put... GROSS and NASTY! The one in Marathon which Mark owns is nice. It has a boat dock the one in Duck Key does not. I am seeing that some are getting the 2 confused. Stay away from DUCK Key Bonefish. Not sure why the health dept has not shut it DOWN. Funny... More

By accident stayed here, owner plan mean! We checked in late and the door between the rooms(cottage) were open? so we thought it was one big room. The next door owner charged us for both rooms? REALLY, what a guy gave us a 10% discount. We did fight w/ our Visa company and never had to pay but.. what a... More

The location of this motel is ideal especially if you are doing fishing in the Keys. We were not fishing but it was still an easy drive into Key West which was the primary destination on this trip. The cabin was nice and clean with two double beds, cable tv, a bathroom and a kitchenette with a stove/oven, microwave, sink,... More

We found this place by accident ( March 19, 2012) and scored the last room Mark Fleer had, a large efficiency. The room was clean, the kitchen perfect, the living room and dining area huge for a motel, and the view from the king-size bed from the large window facing the water was wonderful. We could see the dock, the... More

My husband and I went to Key West during Christmas, we booked a standard room in Bonefish Motel at noon and gave the owner our credit card information and everything. He told us to call him after we went back from Key West after 9pm. We trusted him that we got a place to stay at night and had a... More

We stayed three nights there over the new year's weekend and found the room clean, the linens fresh and the appliances all functioning. In such a high-humidity environment, I wasn't shocked to see a spot of rust, but I was surprised to see there were no bugs. I've seen the other reviews and just want to say that this motel... More

Stayed 5 days. The room was decent, cold a/c, cold refrigerator, hot water, clean, no bugs (even my friend's $800,000 home in Marathon had bugs when we visited). If you don't know anything about the keys, these buildings are old and have weathered at least 3 major hurricanes. Boat ramp easily handled my 21footer. Dock is nice + protected. I... More
