Brian and Aleyda's place is absolutely perfect- a tropical home away from home! The area is so quiet and peaceful & we slept wonderfully. They went above and beyond with amenities and made sure our every need was taken care of. The garden/patio area is lush and secluded. Just a few steps from the house is beach access, along with a walking path that parallels the beach, and which you can walk on to get to several great restaurants. We may have to plan a trip back to Ft. Lauderdale just to stay here again!

Hands down the best hosts I’ve ever had. I travel pretty much full time for work, much of that time spent in short-term rentals, and I’ve never once had a host this accommodating. You won’t regret staying here.

We had a wonderful stay at the Florida Garden Apartment! The lush property is so beautiful! We were able to enjoy it in the evenings! They even have Bluetooth speakers you can connect to outside! The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. We didn’t spend much time in the apt because there was so much to do in such a close proximity. We would wake up in the mornings and walk down to the beach ..which was literally steps away! A great getaway for my husband and myself!! A

This was a lovely and comfortable place to spend a week with our two kids. The garden was by far the most enjoyable part of the property, but the apartment itself was cute and had everything we needed (we LOVED the smell of the soaps provided in the kitchen and bathroom). It is a half a block from a nice beach, which was not particularly busy even on the weekend during spring break season. The owners and other guests were kind and respectful. The only thing we'd share with others is that the pull out couch was not very comfortable (as far as pull out beds go). It worked for one adult, or a small child, but future guests may want to consider this if that sleeping space is needed for more than one person, bigger kids, or more than a few days. Overall this was a great stay and we would definitely come again.

Relaxing Beach Stay

Thanks to Brian and Aleyda for a great long weekend. Their place was clean and a two min walk to the beach on a quiet neighborhood road. Close to some great restaurants and bars but the proximity to a low key beach is amazing. Brian was great at getting right back to me when I had a question. We can't wait to come back. Great place, great hosts!

Quick getaway

DeSoto Beach House was nearly perfect. Just steps from the private beach, with chairs and umbrellas provided that were quick and easy to set up. The apartment was spotless and exactly as described. The only downside was the firm bed, though that comes down to personal preference. The owner was great to work with—responsive and accommodating.
