The inn is beautiful, wonderfully maintained. The room was obviously decorated by someone with an artistic eye. It was great to have a fully equipped kitchenette. The bed was comfortable. The owner was very nice - and when we were delayed in arriving, we found the room ready for us with a welcome note attached to the door of the... More

Loved this place. Very cute and charming. Full kitchen. Super nice owners. Across the street from the beach. Would love to stay here for months. Very well managed. Highly recommend this place!

Spent 7 nights adoring this place! Many times places are rated well and/or look good on the Internet, but don't QUITE live up to expectations. Not so in this case. This wonderful small property is exceedingly well-decorated, maintained and managed and is a great value to boot. I could have comfortably lived there for a whole month (or more!) If... More

After reading all of the reviews about this hotel and visiting their website, my stay at the Blue Seas Courtyard was exactly as expected. My guest and I stayed in room 11, which is an efficiency on the 2nd floor (Recommendation: 10, 11 and 12 have views of the ocean). I let her go into the room first and before... More

Reading your review actually brough tears to my eyes! After a full and tiring day of cleaning rooms on a Sunday, I sat down to my computer and read all the wonderful things you loved about our little hacienda. It reaffirmed that the 40 years of love and devotion we have put into the Blue Seas Courtyard really matters! THANK... More

We have been traveling to Fort Lauderdale for many, many years. What a surprise when we found this beautiful ocean oasis by the sea. It is a charming, impeccably clean smalll hotel on El Mar across from the ocean. The owners and staff take great pride in making sure your stay is relaxing and wonderful. The location is perfectly located... More

After carefully researching all the motels, hotels, inns and B&Bs in LBTS I decided on staying at Blue Seas Courtyard......and it did not disappoint! In fact while I was visiting the area, I checked out other properties, out of curiosity, all along El Mar Drive, with my Chamber of Commerce booklet in hand. Blue Seas Courtyard was head and shoulders... More

Spent 2 nights here and loved it! The Blue Seas was immaculatey maintained and it was evident that the owners have put their heart and soul into the property. The beach was accross the street, beautiful and uncrowded. Restaurants and shops are just a block away. Can't wait to visit again!

We stayed here in February for 7 nights. The location is great and we had a glimpse view of the blue ocean from our upstairs room. The pool is sparkling clean as are the rooms and the grounds. The pool is small, but picturesque. They play great music near the pool, like Sinatra and Louis Armstrong. The motel is quaintly... More

We are always on the look-out for better beach chairs for our guests! Need to be strong, comfortable, light to carry, and rustproof. As of now we buy new chairs twice a year. We know the perfect beach chair is out there somewhere! More

This was our second visit to Blues Seas, and again we were so happy to be back at this lovely spot. The owners Cristie and Marc make it a pleasure. Gary,the manager, keeps the pool and surroundings impeccably clean. Rosa keeps the rooms in tip top shape. Restaurants, shops and of the beach are all in walking distance. Cristie is... More

I found this place on TripAdvisor and was a little suspicious since I rarely stay at motel-type properties, but booked it anyhow. It was only for two nights, so how bad could it be? I was very pleasantly surprised. A great value for the price. The property is similar to other small family-owned motels in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea...but with a difference. The... More
