Part of the Islamorada Hotel Company, this resort is located in the Florida Keys and is just paradise for boaters and beach lovers. It is all about the ocean here, after all, it is the Sports Fishing Capital of the World. We enjoyed our stay so much!

We stayed in an Oceanfront King Suite, and it was so big for us (love it though!). If you are a family, this is an ideal room, but there are even larger rooms if you want!

But if you are a couple, book a cottage in the new complex. It is private and intimate and opens to its own small beach. It is really nice!

Also, if you have pets, they are welcome here. Just bring them over instead of worrying who will look after them while you are on vacation.

The Rooms

Tropical splendor flows freely on the chic boathouse-style accommodation at Postcard Inn Beach Resort & Marina. White beddings, nautical accents, and the many shades of blue create the feeling of being embraced by the ocean. The ambiance is really refreshing, and the ocean views are nothing short of mesmerizing!

The island vibe runs through the food and drinks choices at Postcard Inn Beach Resort & Marina. We loved the Holiday Isle Tiki Bar! They gave us a $125 voucher to sample the drinks, and it was awesome. The best part? This is the original home of the rum runner cocktail. It was invented here in 1972. There is no better place to have one!

Also, the breakfast we had at Raw Bar is nice. It is the usual eggs benedict and bagels, but they also offer a lot of seafood favorites like oysters, fish tacos, and conch chowder. Relax as you dine while enjoying the ocean views, listening to live music, and drinking a frozen rum runner, or two!

Finally, there is the Ciao Hound, an Italian restaurant that marries authentic Tuscan flavors with locally sourced ingredients. But its most special feature? The pet-friendly offerings! Here, you can enjoy your polenta and puttanesca while your beloved pets are served their own food and beverages, too!
