The property was in a great location. Had an attached bar and deli right across street. The only thing I would change we had a very nice sized room but our tv was too small for that size of room. Other than that wonderful place to stay

Nice Winter Get-Away

Southwinds is an old beach motel located near the beach and the Southernmost Point. It's away from all the hustle of Duval Street but still a close walk to get to restaurants and bars. If you are looking for the Hilton, this isn't your place to stay, it's clean but not fancy. It could use some updating, beds are of average comfort, pillows are just okay, continental breakfast was adequate. The pools are nice, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It was convenient to have a liquor store and bar on premise. Free parking. We would stay there again.

Love Southwinds

The staff was most friendly and courteous. They made some eating recommendations that were spot on. Quiana and Karen were so cordial upon our arrival and departure. Will definitely recommend Southwinds to family and friends who plan a trip down.

This was a small, unique and just overall great hotel. 1 heated pool and 1 not. Nice breakfast options. It was like we were in our own little world in the back of the motel. Absolutely loved it.

Great location, clean, but small and outdated.

This is a no frills, clean motel, with free parking, in a good location. We did not take advantage of the included breakfast, we had forgotten about it. We also didn’t use either of the pools. The room was clean but a bit outdated and small. The bathroom was also very small. There was a mini fridge, a microwave, air conditioning, and ample parking. The desk service employee was friendly. This motel is located within close walking distance to Duval Street, the Southernmost Buoy, and a lot of other amenities.
