Cozy Beach Apartments - 1 bedroom/ 1 bath with Private Garden

This place is full of charm, clean and away from any hustle and bustle. The perfect place for a quiet beach vacation!

My husband and I fell in love with DeSoto House and especially the people associated with our stay. Our time there was perfect from beginning to departure...filled with warmth, fun and beauty. The apartment was delightful and decorated in the genuine South Miami tradition from a time gone by. Yet it was certainly in keeping with all the modern ammenities we needed. This included a washer and dryer, full kitchen with a 4 ring gas stove and oven, large refrigerator, toaster, microwave, great dishes, glasses, silver, pots and pans, lots of towels including many beach towels, washcloths, tons of sheets, blankets, perfect air conditiong with an awareness shared by all of our responsibilites in the conservation of our great planet Earth's resources and energy. This tropical oasis is gorgeous with pineapples growing, papayas, tall coconut trees all bearing fruit with little lizards scampering in the sun. Sounds from the meditative stone fountain under an authentic large Tiki Hut built as they did with a soaring roof, beautiful wood, just extraordinary feeling. If you like the small intimate gatherings from the eclectic group that make up the core of this fabulous creative group residing here. What a lovely evening I spent under the hut laughing, talking music, film, travel, creative and business endeavors and just so many topics. What a fun group of comrades. To top it all off there is an exquisite beach right there just a short walk to the end of the block with friendly, helpful lifeguards. It is private and and the water is warm (we were there the first week in May). We were a couple and did not have children with us. The surf was perfect for me but I would not advise this for children. That being said the beach is perfect soft sand and beautiful crystal blue sea. Thrilling lovely and close.

All in all with parking included, no resort fees, no charge for beachchairs, umbrellas, no service fee and believe us the service is impeccable beyond words, airport a quick easy drive, Publix and Walmart right down the road and this Walmart does carry organic food, very easy to book, perfeck check in and out, impeccably clean...this haven is so perfect we wanted to stay much longer and we are already planning to return in a couple of months. Fresh fruit, cheese, homecooked meal, juice, perrier water upon arrival. Michael, Cecey (Anna), and Sheridan are who make this place a work of art. Owners are fabulous.

Our stay was very nice. It was quiet, very close to beach. Management was much better than most in making you feel welcome and at home. I would definitely stay there again. Mark

This was a great place to stay! Wonderful location, friendly, homey environments. We loved it!

Had a terrific week at this property, easy drive to Miami, all major highways, FLL airport. Best days were spent at the beach half a block away. Real mid-century charm. Clean and perfectly appointed. Aleyda was a helpful and considerate host.
