This property fully lives up to the glowing reviews we read before coming, The apartment was excellent. On arrival, my wife and I found a nice bottle of wine in the fridge plus other gifts of food and drink placed by our hosts to welcome us; and we quickly put some of it to use for cocktails out under the “Tiki Hut” in the garden. In the morning, we were pleased to find the beach, life guarded but quite private, just 30 yards away. Other great beaches were only a mile or so north and south. We had 5 perfect days and wished we could have stayed a week or two, or more. Brian and his wife were friendly and attentive hosts. We come to Florida annually, and of all the places we’ve rented, from north of Miami Beach to the Palm Beach area, this was the absolute best!

We adored our stay here. This property is nestled on a residential street steps from the ocean but the garden area the owners have built makes it feel very secluded. The very short walk to the beautiful private beach was closer than even some oceanfront condos we’ve stayed at, and right in front of a lifeguard shack that was staffed our whole visit. Great peace of mind for a family with small kids. Brian and his family were warm and welcoming, offering anything to make our stay even better while giving us space to do our thing. Location close enough for a quick drive to dinner, Publix, the local gym, etc and Doordash options but far away from heavy traffic. We greatly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend for a relaxing beach trip!

👍👍👍

This is an excellent place to stay. The hosts were wonderful. They even had beer, wine, water, a fruit bowl, and snacks waiting for us when we arrived. The apartment is probably less than a minute walk to the beach, you can even see the beach from the driveway. They have the most beautiful garden to relax in after a long day at the beach. It even has a tiki hut with a tv that my kids loved to have movie night at. I really can’t think of anything I didn’t like about it. It was prefect! We will definitely stay here again when we come back to the area.

Nice and cozy clean apartment with all amenities! Seconds to walk to beach in a quiet neighborhood! Hosts are great.

Great property close to everything. Everything was exactly as described. Chairs and bikes provided were very convenient and useful. Brian was very attentive. Great get away for my wife and I.

If you have little ones and want quiet get-away only steps to the beach (with a lifeguard on duty) - Desoto Beach House place is for you! The area is absolutely beautiful - quiet, clean, and safe! First, the place is just as clean and beautiful as it looks in the photos. We have an almost two-year-old and a five-year-old. Brian and Aleyda were gracious enough to provide a pack-n-play and a high-chair for our little one - so we did not have to travel with either. We had everything we needed right there - beach toys (buckets, shovels, snorkeling masks and snorkels, beach balls, beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels). The beach is about half a block away - very little to no traffic, so a very safe walk. We brought a stroller and are so glad we did, about a half-block from the apartment you will find a boardwalk that goes for miles - you will find shops and restaurants, you do not need a car! We flew into FLL airport and it was a 12 min taxi ride to Desoto Beach House. We definitely overpacked - they have a washer and dryer right around the back of the building that you can use - coin-operated - they provided coins - we just had to ask. We ordered groceries three different times during our stay from the Publix nearby - it was really easy and not expensive! This was really convenient for us - we just wanted to have a low-key beach vacation, not have to go anywhere if we did not want to - and we did just that. There was a playground about two blocks down the boardwalk - our kids loved it! The garden outside was so relaxing, I spent many evenings working out there once the kids went to bed - it was perfect. We did not use them (only because we did not have any baby bike seats) but they do have several beach cruiser bikes available to use as well. Brian and Aleyda are wonderful hosts! Visiting the Desoto Beach House for a Florida beach vacation - is a must! We cannot wait to return!

Nice place, just few steps from the beach snd from the bike/walk pass. At the property, we found everything needed to enjoy our vacation! There was a nice surprise waiting for us in the fridge - a bottle of wine, a fruit bowl and some beer and water! Thanks again for your hospitality!!
