Sandy Shores is quaint old style motel nestled between behemoth modern hotels what cost the sky. The motel is clean and the staff is very friendly and extremely helpful. It is only 100 yards from the ocean and for the money they charge it is difficult to get a better place to stay. The only thing I had difficulty with... More

Stayed here for two nights on the way down to the Florida Keys. Everything was almost right but not quite. Two bedroom suite by the beach. Yes, the beach is only a short block away and the hotels location is great for beaching and walking to restaurants. The room had a small kitchen, a small entry room and two small... More

This property is a typical old Florida 1950s Mom and Pop motel. The Sable Resort owns 4 adjacent properties (Shell, Martindale, Sandy Shores, and Seaside). We were looking for a place close to the beach with a pool and kitchen and the Sandy Shore met those criteria however it was a mixed bag. Positives: Location: about 100 yards to the... More

We booked this place based on location and price after reading the reviews. The place is perfectly located and off the main street of traffic. Yes, it is old and could use some modernizing. The room was clean and had the basic necessities. The pool area was nice-however, with the high rise condos on two sides-the amouont of sun is... More

We needed a place with more than one bedroom and with a kitchen, which limits hotel/motel options. But this place had several shortcomings that would prevent us from returning: (a) it was really run down: much of the furniture seemed second hand (mismatching pieces, scratches everywhere) and some rooms looked as if they hadn't been painted in years; (b) the...

Just like home, maybe a little better... I loved our room!!! We had a 1 bedroom apartment with a king size bed. The living room was suitable for entertaining guests, and the fully stocked (utensils, plates, pots and pans) kitchen had a full-sized fridge and stove, and a microwave and coffee maker.

This was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable stays I have had in Florida. Check in was fast and I was escorted through a gated wall into a charming courtyard of single motel rooms surrounding a beautiful, blue swimming pool. The employees from the front desk to housekeeping were extremely courteous and helpful. I couldn't believe we were only... More
