Hidden Gem. Very pleasantly surprised!!!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 28 Jul 2024
Pleasantly surprised by this property! I had reservations with it being an outside entrance “motel”. But it was super clean, updated, comfortable, well maintained, and the amount of amenities were also a pleasant surprise. The little coffee area in the room comes with a vintage looking mini fridge and microwave, a Keurig machine with k-cups, and all the supplies to make a good cup of coffee. We stayed here last minute and it did not disappoint. Nice area on the beach. The pool was very clean. They have live music at the tiki bar. Wrist band room keys are extremely convenient. The ladies working the front desk were kind, courteous and treated us very well. We will definitely be staying here again. ***there is areas to fish on and around the property.

We enjoyed staying at Glunz Ocean Beach hotel and resort. Beautiful resort! beds were extremely comfortable and the entire place was very clean. The deck lounge chairs have a tag on them with a QR code so you can order drinks and/or food from the restaurant next door and have them delivered right to you at the pool!!

We had a medical situation come up and they were very understanding and accommodating.

Will definitely come back and stay!

Room tip: Some great restaurants to eat at were: Porky’s BBQ and Island fish company

It is an older hotel that has a great view from pool and hot tub. Some rooms face parking lot and some face the water . They offer activities on location such as paddle boarding. You just need to sign a waiver . The room was clean and comfortable. There is a restaurant near . No one was available to do early checkout.

We absolutely loved Glunz! We had an ocean front suite and it worked perfect for us. I have problems walking very far and here everything is close---pool, hot tub, water dispenser, loungers. Also, the loungers are higher off the ground than most which makes it easier to get up from for those of us with those issues. All the staff was super friendly and helpful.

The Staff was incredible We rented a suite (221) and on the first day, the fridge went bad. On day two I talked to the Manager and they sent someone up to our room immediately a new repair part was installed and bingo! For the rest of our seven-day stay everything went smoothly...!!! :) We have stayed in several places for our yearly vacation in the Keys and most notably, many were in Marathon Key. You can bet your boots that we consider Glunz Ocean Beach as our new favorite and we will definitely be booking your joint for next February...!!! Thank you for your attention to detail.

Spent 3 beautiful days here. This place is awesome!
If you are looking for a nice little getaway this is perfect!
Great sandy beach and a crystal clear pool. Rooms are clean and staff are friendly . The location is close to everything you want on vacation. Havana Jacks tiki bar and restaurant is on-site too so if you don’t want to travel you can stay and enjoy the live music at night! We have stayed at a number of places in the keys. This is certainly one of our favorites!
We are coming back!
