Beautiful propertu

I stay in business-class hotels 3 weeks a month, so when on vacation, we choose small, low-key, simple places to stay. We also travel to the Keys quite regularly, and prefer Key Largo because of its laid back atmosphere vs other places further down the Keys. Drift is a great little gem. The rooms are simple, yet clean and the outdoor areas are very well taken care of. The entire vibe of the place is super chill, and during this most recent stay of 6 nights, we came to love the little roadside motel. The sand area by the water is ample and the dock shows regular maintenance with some deck chairs to relax under the shade covers. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, and it's a short drive or walk to nearby eateries. They have kayaks, bikes and a SUP free to use. We used the kayaks as did others. The entire place only has 21 rooms, so we never felt the least bit crowded and, in fact, despite being full each night, we usually had, or nearly had the beach area and dock to ourselves during the day. Would we stay there again? Absolutely. Very reasonably priced and the opposite of pretentious. So, if you are looking for a ritzy resort feel, this isn't it. As for suggestions, the kayaks were free, but sized for small to medium framed people, so it would be good to have some larger, longer kayaks, and even a two-person kayak as options. Otherwise, Drift is an awesome, chill spot to hang for an evening, or a week, and someplace we will stay again!

What an oasis! Friendly, helpful staff. Spacious rooms with kitchenette. Relaxing, laid back vibe. Nice grounds. There is a private inviting water access with use of kayaks and standup paddleboard. A fantastic dock to relax on and take in the view.

Quaint little roadside motel! Good for a night or two on a Florida Keys trip!

Great place to stay in Key Largo, everything you need from a comfy bed to mini kitchenette, and good tv choices! Great staff also.

Every employee I had contact with was helpful and courteous. They even had actual silverware I could borrow when my takeout order was missing a fork and knife. Bed was super comfy and loved the updated bathroom. This hotel is quite old but totally updated and had just the vibe I was looking for. Beautiful sunsets!
