My daughter and I had a wonderful stay! Everything we needed was there. We really enjoyed the bikes rides down the Boardwalk that we were able to access at anytime! The apartment was very, very comfortable for us and so very clean. My daughter was ready to just move in ! Everyone we encountered was so friendly and helpful! We... More

The Desoto Oceanview's rooms are perhaps the cleanest of any inn or hotel we've ever visited throughout the US and overseas. This is a non-smoking property that uses eco-friendly cleaners, toiletries and paper products. It's a great feeling to walk into a room on vacation, admire the cleanliness and not smell smoke or heavily fragranced cleaners. The toiletries are very... More

My wife located this diamond in the rough 7 years ago when we were looking for a place close to the beach but away from the traffic. Nicely wedged between Ft Lauderdale and Miami Beach, the DeSoto Inn offers that solitude without being isolated from the real world. Just a stones throw away from the beach, the DeSoto Inn provides... More

At this point in time, the DeSoto has 96% excellent or very good ratings. I have found out that it is not easy to write a review for the DeSoto without being repetitious. Yes, it is an "oasis" and a "gem" of a place. This has already been said. You come out of your room and go 50 yards east,... More

We only stayed for a couple of nights and the experience was of such peace and relaxation. The owner is charming and helpful and we truly felt so relaxed and at home. The beach is on your doorstop and a lovely quiet one it is too. It is not for anyone expecting gloss and luxury just a peaceful quiet break-holiday... More

What a place to smell the flowers, hear the birds and just lay back and recharge your life force. This is by far the best place for beach bums (those that love the beach) to stay. Cook out on the Grill, walk the beach. This place is the only place that you are only a stranger for less than one... More

My wife and I stayed at the Desoto over the Christmas holidays, and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were visiting family in the Ft. Lauderdale area and wanted to have a relaxing weekend together at the beach so we booked a night at the Desoto. From the first time we pulled into the parking lot, we were amazed. The Inn is... More

We just had a great week at the DeSoto with our 4 year old son. We loved the garden for breakfast al fresco with the friendly birds, for a shady work spot on the wifi which is now strong, for a relief from beach time, for harvesting from the garden and for grilling our dinner. The efficiency studio had everything... More

The DeSoto is a home away from home. Steve is the most welcoming proprietor I have met, and he works very hard to make the inn a relaxing getaway. The place was spotlessly clean and the garden was fabulous. Only steps away from the beach - what could be better? How about a delicious dinner on the night we arrived?... More
