My husband and I have stayed at the Coral Key Inn for many years, returning to the same room every year in May. We just returned from another fantastic trip. Rooms are clean, pool is beautiful, and its only steps from the most beautiful beach. Joan does watch over the place, but it is great knowing that she knows everyone... More

I had read some of the reviews about the CORAL KEY as we, as smart travellers, should do .One thing I have come to realize about reviews is that it is an averaged out guide for us to make our final decision. The guest that wrote a abrasive review about Joan was totally inaccurate with her words . There is... More

Just returned from another great extended vacation at the Coral Key Inn and it was wonderful, as usual. We have been returning to this great Inn for over 10 years and are always happy with our stay. The rooms are so clean and the service is terrific from the office to the housekeeping to the maintenance. We love having the... More

I am here with 4 other familys. We booked a total of five rooms. To make it short and sweet... The location is great and the rooms are spacious. However.... The manager Joan is a pompous witch that has no place in the hospitality business. From the time you pull in till the time you leave she WILL watch your... More

The inn was nice enough, clean enough, quiet. All the good qualities went down the tubes because the manager runs it like a concentration cam!

The hotel is clean and well maintained. All rooms are non smoking rooms. Our appartment was fully equipped and there was nothing we missed. A small negativ aspect was the A/C which was pretty loud and due to the reason it was in the kitchen it didn't really cool down the bedroom, because there is the living room in between.... More

I noticed that no reviews have been posted in a long while so I thought I would offer my perspective. My wife and I (mature adults, no children) have stayed here two or three times. But I personally avoid the place now. However, it might be worth a try for you. Here are the considerations: Coral Key is comfortable and... More

Stayed in Room 26 for about a week during the fourth of july holiday. One bedroom apartment was larger than my own apartment in Chicago. Everything was clean, newly painted and with what looked like new carpet. Exceptionally quiet- even though the place was booked full- I never once heard anyone in the adjacent rooms (except when the hot water... More

I have stayed at the Coral Key every spring for five years! It is like a second home and I look forward to going back for many years to come. The hotel is geared toward adults and offers a peaceful and relaxing get away. It is clean, has a great view of the ocean, and everything you need if you... More

A small charming hotel with small seaside ambiance. The studio apartment was quite spacious with a full kitchen and Murphy bed and nice ocean view. We could walk to local beach restaurants and nitelife and shops (including the supermarket) and never needed to move the car!!! A really nice vacation spot and so reasonablly priced too. I'd certainly recommend the... More
