Summary of reviewsSituated right by the bay, Sunset Cove Beach Resort offers an unbeatable location with stunning views, private beach access and meticulously maintained gardens. The charming bungalows and cottages are aligned along the waterfront, allowing guests to enjoy picturesque sunsets from their cozy accommodations. Guests have access to various free water activities like kayaking and paddleboarding and can relax on sun loungers in thoughtfully designed public spaces, including shaded areas, BBQ spots and hammocks.

The rooms, though compact, are praised for their cleanliness and cheerful ambiance. Oceanfront units are particularly favored for their amazing views and serene setting. However, some rooms could benefit from updates to kitchen equipment and bathroom facilities and certain locations near the road might experience traffic noise. The air conditioning can be noisy and some beds may need upgrading due to reports of sagging mattresses. Despite these minor issues, bedding is generally comfortable.

The beach at Sunset Cove is intimate and picturesque, offering breathtaking sunset views and a clean environment regularly maintained for guest enjoyment. While more suited for relaxation than swimming due to its grassy layout, it remains a favorite spot for many. The resort’s convenient location right off Highway No. 1 also makes it accessible for travelers to Key West.

Overall, Sunset Cove Beach Resort is a delightful option for those seeking a clean, cozy and scenic beachfront escape with friendly staff and a serene atmosphere, perfect for a peaceful weekend getaway or an extended vacation at the bay.

Breakfast
Despite its idyllic beachside location, the breakfast offerings at Sunset Cove Beach Resort tend to fall short of guests' expectations. The options are largely limited to American coffee orange juice and prepackaged pastries, often described as basic, minimalist and even pitiful by some. While the setting of enjoying breakfast outdoors under a tiki hut adds a charming touch, the food itself often leaves much to be desired. Suggestions for improvement include adding fresh fruits, cheese and other more substantial items. Many guests find themselves seeking more fulfilling breakfast options at neighboring establishments. Nonetheless, the overall stay is considered pleasant, which somewhat alleviates the disappointment of the morning meal.

The cottages themselves are described as cute and cozy with a cheerful ambiance that many appreciated. Those positioned closer to the ocean are particularly favored for their amazing views and tranquil setting. However, units near the road experience considerable traffic noise, making it difficult for light sleepers to rest.

While the resort is well-kept and features charming, comfortable cottages, some areas could benefit from updates and minor improvements. Certain reviews pointed out necessary upgrades for kitchen equipment and bathroom space, especially in units like Diver Den 2.
