How much parking is available?

Can I bring a boat to Southwind?

Southwind has a private 180-foot fishing pier with lighting and a hose, rather than a dedicated boat dock. At low tide, a boat with a draft of approximately 22 inches or less may be able to pull alongside the pier briefly for loading and unloading.

A mooring buoy is located about 50 feet from the pier, where we have tied our 30-foot boat with a 22-inch draft. We have also left a smaller 18-foot boat tied alongside the pier; however, at low tide, it rests on the bottom.

Water depth, tides, currents, wind, and weather can change quickly, so access and conditions are never guaranteed. Any use of the pier or mooring buoy is entirely at the guest’s own risk, and we do not recommend relying on them as the only option for securing a boat.

Alternatively, Caloosa Cove Marina is approximately two miles away and may have temporary slips available. Please contact the marina directly for current availability, rates, and vessel requirements. Guests planning to bring a boat should discuss arrangements with us before booking.

Where is Southwind located?

Southwind is on the Atlantic side of Islamorada in the Florida Keys. The public map shows the general area for privacy; the full address and detailed arrival information are provided to confirmed guests.

Do we need a car?

A car is recommended for exploring Islamorada and the surrounding Florida Keys. Miami International Airport is approximately 1.5 hours away, and Florida Keys Marathon Airport is about 45 minutes away. Travel times vary with traffic.
