Casey Key Resort - Gulf Shores

Nice quiet neighborhood with an amazing beach. The public beach is nearby yet not overly crowded. The sand was great and lots of small shark teeth were found every walk took on the beach. The bungalow was great altho the bathroom was small as was the coffee pot, the proximity to the beach was awesome. Very relaxing area.

I enjoyed my stay at Casey Keys very much. I will be returning and would highly recommend the place. They are very helpful and friendly..

We booked one night for a quick get away and had a great stay at this resort. The private beach and amenities were very clean and we intend to return.

Arrived to our first room, which was not an inlet view as promised. There were red and brown stains on the sheets and all over the disgusting mattress. There was also dirt in the sheets. There were water stains down the wall from the ac unit. The tile in the shower was not “marble” as described by owner, but instead, blue hexagon. The railing to the filet station was broken and unsafe. No water at the filet station or at the units to rinse off. Told the owner and sent pictures of the first unit. He offered us a second unit. Again, not inlet view. A side view of the other units. The curtain on the door had a huge stain as soon as you opened the door. The sheets were dirty again. Also- there are signs saying that they do not provide house keeping during covid, but feel free to change your own sheets. We sent a message to the owner with pictures to show him it wasn’t clean and he responded back by saying he could not accommodate us and to please leave. Leaving us stranded. I have posted pictures of the units and the screen shots of our texts on google maps.

The resort was great. It was cozy and comfortable. Out the back door, there was a dock and it was shaded out there. And a short walk across the street, through the courtyard, was a nice sitting area where the breeze blew thru and our moms could relax and watch the sunset while my husband and I walked the shore line looking for sharks teeth,..which I found several.

At the rate charged per night including taxes, fees etc I expected a better experience. I have rented from other local places and this just does not measure up. Nice new towels and bed linens/pillows! Kitchen was missing items noted on their inventory list. Only 1 BBQ to share between all beach side units, and 1 for bay side. And not even gas. No shampoo. I hope this review helps them step it up, or drop prices to be more appropriate.

We had a great time during our stay, lots of dining options, private beach access and great area all around!

I have stayed here several times both prior to Covid as well as in 2020. We have always found the "rooms" quaint and as advertised. In 2020 they were taking necessary "precautions" as directed by the CDC, etc.... Which resulted in "contactless check in/out", etc. This weekend we stayed in room 21 and were both impressed and disappointed at the same time. First, it is apparent the owners have spent time upgrading the premises and the room we stayed in. On the outside there are new pavers, lights paint, plants, etc. Everything on the grounds and inside the room was very clean. The room was much smaller than I expected however, I realize this is an "old Florida" mom & pop hotel. Things are a little different and you have to embrace it. The bathroom was remodeled and lovely. Hot water was consistent and there are no complaints. The king size bed was adequate mostly due to the wonderful pillows. There is not head board so the pillow fall between the bed and wall. Since there is no one on the premises, I did not call for extra pillows. The television is very large and at the foot of the bed which I really enjoyed. Now my complaints. I will start with my b/f is disabled from a stroke several years ago. We like this place because there are almost no stairs and in the past there were lounge chairs on the beach. This meant we could walk to the beach drag it to where we wanted to be and he could sit and relax. Now there are no lounge chairs which meant we had to go buy them and carry them down. This is a huge deal for him (us). They do have beach chairs for the guests but they are $15 a day and you have to drag them across the street and down the beach. (The chairs are wood and heavy) This was not conveyed to us prior to arriving. Next, my bf is 6'7" tall. Every other room we have had, had larger apartment style refrigerators in them. The fridge in this room was smaller and the door opened the opposite direction (see pictures) It was almost impossible for him to bend down and get things out of the fridge. Coupled with the freezer being too small to hold a bag of ice and no ice maker on site, it made it basically impossible to use the fridge. (You can see the top of the fridge is below the counter top.) We will have no problem staying here again, however we will choose a different room and confirm the in-room pictures actually match where we are staying.

We are Sarasota locals who wanted to do a staycation on Casey Key. I found this property and could not have asked for a better experience. The property is older, it’s like staying in an old Florida bungalow, which was fine with us, because we were on the beach! The property is literally a two minute walk to the beach, and it’s a private area of the beach, so it wasn’t crowded at all. Plus, we could bring our dog! If you are looking for a fancy luxury resort, this is not it. But if you are looking for an authentic old Florida experience, then I highly recommend staying here.
