Comfy cozy place. Enjoyed making meals in the kitchen. Short walk to beach and restaurants.

This property overall was likable. It was clean but did have a slight mildew smell. The dishes were a little grimy and the sponge to clean them was already used so we bought a new one. We were only left 2 shower towels and 2 beach towels for a 5 night stay and were told it would be $25 for another set when we asked for more. The laundry facility was apparently closed due to Covid. Each unit is allowed one spot but we had to park down the road because all of the spots were taken (6 spots for 8 units?) The TV also was a hit or miss as to whether or not it would work. They tell you not to turn the AC below 70 degrees but it does get pretty cold inside due to the tile flooring. However the location was close to Lauderdale by the sea (not the main downtown Fort Lauderdale but still close to a cute shopping/dining area). The bedding was clean. The bathroom was nice. It was nice having a kitchenette. Prices were cheap. They have beach chairs and umbrellas you can use as well, but we didn’t take advantage of that. Check-in was easy. They provided all the dishes you needed (just would recommend washing them before using). I would recommend bringing your own towels, hand soap (you only get a small bar of soap), and a new sponge if you plan on using the dishes. Overall the stay was nice.

I was looking to spend 5 days on the beach. This hotel was close to the beach, clean and also close to restaurants. Check in was handled via e-mail/text and worked fine - I got my room assignment and instructions 2 days before arriving.

Quaint property. The bed was little firmer then I normally like. Overall the place was clean. Accessible to everything you would need. Beach block 1/2 away!

Quiet little place. Clean and close to the beach.

Although I didn't stay here, due to threat of hurricane , the hotel did keep me updated and gave full refund so it's all good for me. Hopefully i have a chance to stay here in the near future

Nice outside area for sitting, but little privacy. People always coming and going around you.

This was such a wonderful stay and the people in charge were so nice!! Thank you for making my sisters birthday such a wonderful experience!

Everything about this stay was fantastic- the hotel staff, the accommodations, and the location were amazing. The only reason I gave 4 stars on comfort instead 5 is that the bed and pillows were pretty uncomfortable (though clean which is really the most important). I'd still stay here again without hesitation, I just recommend bringing your own pillow (or two) for comfort. Other than that, it was absolutely perfect and a great value.
