We have stayed at this facility for the last two years now and have been very pleased with the staff, the grounds, and the condition of the rooms.
We will be booking with them again next year.
Friendly staff, clean rooms and property with an old school feel. We enjoyed our stay and will return.

I always enjoy staying at South Winds. They treat you good, I hate to see the historic motel demolished in next few years, that of KW will not be the same. 4 **** stars
Mom and Pop type property. Perfect location. Store across the street for food and drinks. Bar with daily music right next door. One block away from Duval street with many restaurants and bars. You go to South Florida for the weather. Have to say it was the hottest and most humid place I have ever been to for a solid week! Pool was great and definitely needed. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was clean and the staff was very helpful. Location of motel was very convenient to get to Duval street
Place was ok, Bar on premise and they had music, my room had ants(I told em and came and sprayed), pool was clean, the roosters were cool, They want 22.50 a day to park, waived it I'm handicap
SOUTHWINDS MOTEL WAS AN ABSOLUTELY PERFECT TO STAY IN KW!!!!
The amenities were perfect, the moring breakfast was just perfect, and thee LOCATION IS SUPER GREAT. Literally minutes from everywhere.
WE WILL BE BACK, FOR SURE!!!!!
Our room was huge w 2 Queen size beds. Nice having fridge and microwave in room. The pool was right out side our door. The Zombie Bike Parade went right by our hotel - perfect viewing location. Close to Southernmost Point. Plenty of parking. Staff were quick to assist when a table umbrella blew over w the wind (cameras monitor the pool area). Hammocks were a nice option for relaxing. Water pressure was the only bad thing but according to “pool talk” it depended on where your room was located. We would definitely stay here again.
Dated but very cute! Beds were comfy and linens smelled very clean. Unfortunately no hot water made showering chilly. Pool was clean warm and very nice!
