Every year we try to stop and stay at the White Sands Inn on our way to Key West. It is really a charming place and totally laid back atmosphere. I love waking up and walking out to a Beautiful Sunrise on the water ! They have a really nice pool area and the rooms are very clean.

I stayed here with my family and when I was looking for hotels in the Keys, I wanted value for money and a laid-back vacation spot on the water. I found this in the White Sands Inn. Rachel, one of the owners, was very accommodating when I spoke to her on the phone and her father, Tom, who was managing... More

My family stayed in the Hibiscus room for 3 nights and loved it! The Inn is right on the water but there is no beach to speak of. Honestly, a sandy beach is difficult to find in the Keys anyways. The White Sands Inn has the Key feel I was looking for. From the palm trees and hammocks on the... More

Had the bed not been shoved in a corner, making a crawl in necessary, we would have rated the place a bit higher. Bed also clunked loudly. Not the best when getting up at night. Beaches not the greatest any where we went in the keys. Setting was interesting. Nice views. Too tacky for our taste.

My husband and I just returned from a week's vacation at the White Sands Inn. It is the perfect place for travelers seeking a low-key vacation. The room does not come with daily housekeeping (although you will get fresh towels) and bathroom amenities like shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hair dryer, etc. What you will get: a clean, nicely appointed room,...

We recently stayed in the Sunrise suite(3 bedroom,1 bath, full kitchen) for a 3 night getaway. The photos online are a true representation of what the property looked like. We were concerned about the postings regarding the stinky seaweed and lack of beach to walk on, but these are the Florida Keys after all! The rooms, pool area, dock and... More

Maybe it's just the time of year but the beach of White Sands was not a beach at all. It was covered in grassy stinky crud. The facilities themselves were outstanding. Very Clean, everything at our disposal. This is an excellent place to go to get a way and have a little privacy. We stayed in the Key Lime room... More

Location, location, location! Just about 3 miles north of Marathon, this spot is just perfect to go in either direction for great day trips. Rachel, who runs the inn with her mother & Maria, who is in charge of housekeeping are very accommodating. Plan on returning next year!

I'm really struggling with this review because I liked the facility itself. So...let's start with that. One of the buildings has several rooms in it, across the yard is a house (Sun Rise House) split into 3 separate accommodations. Both facilities were very clean; some have full kitchens, others have kitchenettes, others are your basic room. All are pet-friendly. The... More
