Enjoyed our stay.
Enjoyed our stay at The Rainbow Bend. It’s an older place that has some areas for improvement but the property is great. The restaurant on premises didn’t look like much but after doing some research it sounds like it’s one of the better places in the keys to get some really good food.

Deceptive and falsely advertised.
We got baited by fake photos of a cottage on the beach but ended up in a loud adjoining room on the highway w/ super loud traffic and in perfect earshot of next room’s convo. Total yuck!

The property and staff are amazing! Breakfast is included and cooked to order. The views from the private beach are breathtaking! The only gripes are about the thin walled rooms, you can hear your neighbors every move, and no conversation is private. The rooms have been nicely updated and modernized with new bathrooms, flooring, and paint. If I was not such a light sleeper I would go back.

Rainbow Bend was a beautiful place to stay! Not only can you literally walk straight to the beach, but they have an amazing pool and hot tub. The staff was very helpful and very friendly and the place that we stayed at was so much nicer than what I thought we would get so it was amazing to walk into, our place and see how big it was. I highly recommend you stay here.

What is surprising wonderful Little Jewel we found in the rainbow. I liked it so much. My wife and I booked Labor Day already. We asked for the same room that we had and we and they gave it to us. I had to spend the evening with some of my local friends. They all raved about the restaurant there the next morning I had breakfast, which was fantastic and all the guest I met raved about the meal they had the night before, so when you do stay here make sure you plan at least one meal that lady is wonderful.

I love this place. The room is beautiful, spacious and comfortable with a full kitchen. French doors leading to a wonderful patio just off a huge heated pool and jacuzzi i fully enjoyed. There is a cafe on site that serves a complimentary breakfast. It’s right on the water, the breeze is a delight. So happy I stayed here.

We stayed at Rainbow Bend for a week in October (Suite 9 🌈❤️). Everything was perfect for our family of 3. Sharing our patio area with iguanas and curly tailed lizards was fun. The premises are beautiful. And the sunrise right from the property was unforgettable. 5 out of 5 stars 🌟

The rooms are simple, they had a nice restaurant for breakfast, delicious French toast and nice staff. Wanted to try it for dinner but it did t work out. Lovely view. I would go again… main drawback is no access for a boat.
