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

We arrived to wine, strawberries, and apple strudel in our fridge! The apartment was cozy and comfortable and steps from the beach. We were furnished with thick beach towels, chairs for the beach, and a lovely garden area to relax in full of tropical plants and palm trees. We loved our time!

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.

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!

Friendly Hosts & Great Location

The apartment was just as described. The hosts provided some treats to tide us over until we went to the market. Less than 200' to a beautiful, quiet beach and the bike path to the Hollywood boardwalk about a 1.25 miles walk away.

Great Girls Trip Location!!

Brian and his wife were an absolute treat and made such a difference for our stay. They were such attentive and accommodating hosts. We absolutely enjoyed this cozy space - perfect for 3 women! A short walk to the beach and local restaurants. Ordering groceries and food was a breeze. When wanting to explore the beach 5 minutes away, a quick bus trip or uber was fairly inexpensive. We also were about 30 minutes from Miami, which was perfect for those nights out. 10/10 recommend - great experience!

Amazing spot by the beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. With the beach less than a block away, you can't go wrong. The apartment itself is really nice too, it felt clean and had cool decor. Couch was very comfy to watch movies on! Plus, it was well stocked with everything you needed: shampoo, kitchen utensils, beach towels. We appreciated the outdoor shower they had outside so we could rinse off after the beach before going inside. The location was great - the boardwalk area in Hollywood Beach was just a short drive away, there were some good restaurants nearby too, and we were even able to walk down the beach to take a surfing lesson. The check in process was super easy and communication was smooth. Overall, we would highly recommend staying here if you're looking to stay right next to a beautiful beach!
