About this property

Welcome to Waterside Suites and Marina

Waterside Suites and Marina offers a relaxed, low-key setting with townhouse-style suites featuring full kitchens and private balconies overlooking the water. The property includes an outdoor pool and provides free parking and Wi-Fi, catering well to guests who prefer self-catering accommodations with convenient amenities. Its air-conditioned rooms are pet-friendly, making it suitable for extended stays or travelers seeking a casual and comfortable environment.

Located at Mile Marker 100 in Key Largo, the hotel is less than a mile from The African Queen, the famous boat from the Humphrey Bogart film, and just a short drive from popular local attractions including John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and Molasses Reef. The central location offers quick access to grocery stores, dining, and outdoor activities, making it a practical base for visitors eager to explore the area's marine life and nature.

Guest feedback highlights the spacious, well-equipped suites as a strong point, with many appreciating the balcony views and the peaceful atmosphere. However, some reviews mention occasional cleanliness concerns and noise from a nearby bar, which may be a consideration for those seeking a very quiet stay. The absence of amenities such as on-site dining, a fitness center, and airport shuttle suggests the property primarily serves self-sufficient travelers.

Overall, Waterside Suites and Marina appeals to visitors looking for an affordable, comfortable place with kitchen facilities and a waterside setting. It suits guests who value location and space over luxury services, and those planning longer stays or trips centered on local sightseeing and outdoor experiences.

My wife and I stayed here last week for 3 nights and had a great time. The place has these cute little townhouse-style setups with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and two bathrooms—plenty of space to spread out. The balcony was awesome for just kicking back and watching the water. We really enjoyed the live music coming from the restaurant across the way while hanging out out there. Super chill vibe. It was also a great spot to base ourselves while exploring the Keys. Would totally stay again!

A bump from 3 stars to 4 for good value. Cleanliness needs improvement with attention to detail, but the important areas like the kitchen, bed and bathroom were clean. Good central location if you are staying in Key Largo. Very spacious “townhome style” with a full size bath upstairs off the master bedroom and a half bath on the lower floor with a nice kitchen and sitting areas. Every unit has an elevated private balcony off the kitchen overlooking the canal. Resort is far from traffic noise, but there is the occasional boat passing on the waterway, and nearby Sharky’s (a very loud music bar) open until 12. Ask for a room on the east end (the higher numbers) if you want to be on the quieter side. The walls also have poor sound detonation and you can hear the other guests. The guest laundry was not in service and I had to go to a nearby laundromat. The desk personnel was not very helpful but I was able to check in and out without any issues. If stairs are a concern, this place is not recommended. Plenty of free parking.

Location is great, service is friendly, and rooms are perfectly adequate. I'm not going to mince words, the kitchen DID have cockroaches. That's the biggest issue we had. Everything else was great.

Friendly staff, the pool was great, bed was upstairs and living room downstairs. Worked great for us, might be a challenge for someone who has difficulty with stairs. The bar across the canal does play loud music, but that just adds to the experience. There is space to dock a boat behind the hotel. You'd be able to see it from your balcony. Boat/trailer parking in the front is parking on the shoulder of the street on the grass. There are many covered parking spots to keep your vehicle from becoming an inferno inside. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. Overall, great place that we'd stay again

I loved my stay here. The front desk workers were all extremely pleasant and helpful and I felt it was very clean and I would not hesitate to come back. It was very quiet and I slept very well. Dog friendly! The only thing I didn’t like was the laundry facilities. I had to download an app and add money on the app in order to do a load of laundry and now I have money on this app that I cannot get back and I guess I’ll lose out on that money unless I make a trip back to Key Largo. That’s the only disappointing part. Other than that, I absolutely loved my stay.

I had an excellent experience here for a three night stay with my spouse. It’s in a great location in the center of Key Largo with quick access to grocery stores, gas stations, community park, and tourist attractions. My favorite part of our vacation was just spending time on the balcony looking over the water and watching the boats go by. Very peaceful. In the evenings, the live music from the restaurant across the canal was the perfect volume to listen to it if you were on the balcony, but couldn’t hear it with the door closed if you wanted quiet. The room was clean, had a great kitchen for making your own meals, and excellent friendly service at the front desk. Great room, great location, and great price!

Absolutely beautiful room and friendly staff. We got several texts from staff asking if we needed anything. Room was clean and up to date. We were right across from bar/restaurant and you could hear the music each night on the weekend. The bar crowd was a bit loud but not unreasonable. We actually sat on our balcony and enjoyed the music. Only on Fri/Sat so if you want peace and quiet, I might not stay here. Pool was nice, plenty of parking. Loved watching the boats go by. Highly recommend. We loved our stay here!! Close to everything you need.

I was looking for a nice but economical place for a couple days in Key Largo and this place looked good. It definitely exceeded my expectations. The room is very clean, modern, and very spacious (two levels!) with a full kitchen, living room, and 1.5 baths. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.
