“Top shelf all the way!!”
The rooms are extremely nice, some with great views if the gulf. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Havana Jack’s restaurant and Tiki Bar is phenomenal. Matt is a great guy and runs a great crew. Both are a must visit if you will be in the Marathon Florida area.
“Great Place To Stay”
The Glunz Hotel is a great find in Key Colony Beach. It is a family run business and the guests are their #1 priority. We have stayed the last four years and always have a great experience. Right beside a delicious seafood restaurant so it makes it even better!
“Having a Bar/restaurant was awesome.”
Great place to visit. We went adults only but we have been there before with our kids and the place is also kid /family friendly. Place is very clean and well maintained. Great staff. Close to good restaurants.
Oceanfront Hotels in the Florida Keys: Stay in Key Colony Beach
Looking for an oceanfront hotel in the Florida Keys where you can slow down, spend time together, and feel right at home? At Glunz Ocean Beach Hotel & Resort, our family-run, boutique hotel on Key Colony Beach welcomes you to enjoy the Florida Keys at an easygoing pace. Wake to the Atlantic, wander down to our private beach, and make the pool part of your afternoon. Here, the little moments—a salty breeze, a favorite place in the sun, one more swim—often become the best part of your stay.
A private beach right outside your door
Our oceanfront setting puts the water at the heart of your getaway. Step onto the private beach for a quiet morning walk, relax with a book, or watch the Atlantic sparkle in the afternoon sun. There’s no need to pack up the car to enjoy the shore. Take your time, head back to your room when you’re ready, then return to the beach whenever the mood strikes.
Beach days and poolside afternoons
Sometimes the best vacation plan is no plan at all. Cool off in the outdoor pool, stretch out beside the water, or let the day unfold between the pool and the beach. With both close at hand, families can find their own rhythm: an early swim, a leisurely lunch, and a sunny afternoon spent exactly where you want to be.
A welcoming home base in Key Colony Beach
Located in Key Colony Beach in the Middle Keys, our boutique hotel makes it easy to enjoy local favorites while returning to a quieter island setting. Head into Marathon for restaurants, shops, boat trips, and family-friendly attractions. Visit the Turtle Hospital or Dolphin Research Center, explore Curry Hammock State Park, or plan a day on the water fishing, snorkeling, or diving. Then come back to the resort, where the ocean and a warm welcome are waiting.
