Just recently spent 5 nights at the OV. I must say after reading tons of reviews I am happy to have found this gem. The ov is exactly as their pictures show. Clean room, private patio w/outdoor shower, inviting pool. Best of all 2 bars on site. We'd order drinks & walk down their dock, sit & watch the sun.... More

Stayed at the OV Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday in April. I'm sure this place rocks during football season. Was there for The Final Four basketball. It was nice to have a lot of TV's to watch. If you want luxury, this is not the place. The units have be renovated recently and all have a private patio. The staff was... More

Just spent a week in Islamorada, and frequented the OV several times. As a lifelong Steelers fan, I was elated to learn that one of their former greats was running a place just down the road from me.

What a pleasant surprise. My husband and I have been coming to the keys for years, and we just discovered the Oceanview. The staff is very friendly, and the food is quite good. My husband loveed the burger; I myself favored the fish sandwich. But we both agree on steak night! The outside bar and patio have a nice view... More

Didnt stay at the hotel, but had lunch at the bar outside. Seems friendly enough, lot of local regulars. Waitress was not good, but I understand that Gloria is the star there, and wasn't here this day. Good burger and wing stop, keep your expectations in check.

We wanted to stop for the night in Islamorada on our way to Key West, this place was recommended by someone on one of the forums here. I called, talked to one of the (friendly) owners, and booked over the phone . . .$179 for a large room with tile floors, two beds, small table w/two chairs, microwave, minifridge, coffee... More
