It's less than two blocks to the beach and a short walk to the city's spectacular new oceanfront promenade, new fishing pier, dive boats and dozens of shops and restaurants.

Before the double French door entry is a large, screened-in porch with tropical garden views, white wicker furniture including dining table that seats four and George Foreman electric grill for your exclusive use. Additional after-beach shower at back door.

Includes free wi-fi, free parking, no resort fees, flat-screen cable TV, books, family games, linens, iron/board, cleaning tools, beach towels, cooler, beach chairs, A/C, heat, one free parking space per unit in off-street parking in front of property.

Cute and quaint
This property (the cottages block) is in a location that is proximal to the beach and some good restaurants, and the owner is extremely involved in communicating with tenants. The neighboring streets have many, many stray cats so beware if you have cat allergies and are planning on leaving the windows open. While smoking is not allowed indoors in the cottages, it did smell smoky and several of the tenants smoked while on site.

Love this place!
This is a beautiful cottage with screened in porch. It is surrounded by 4 other small cottages and you wouldn't even know it, it is so peaceful. It is colorful and has everything you would want or need. Close to restaurants and grocery stores so no need to bring a lot of things with you. It was just a 2 minute walk to the beach with an entrance right off the street. Beautiful and very clean beach. We watched them grate the beach of all seaweed, etc in the morning. We truly enjoyed our visit and definitely will return.

About the host

Hosted by Elaine's Reservationists Kathy or Mark

Host profile image
I was a TV news reporter for 15 years, then owned and operated a PR firm in South Florida. Today I am a hotelier, with five top-rated boutique properties by the beach, all blocks apart and listed on this site, including this one. I am a hands-on owner and my goal is to ensure that all of our guests have a safe, clean, comfortable and memorable stay. My hobbies are photography, travel and dancing (ballroom, Latin, Argentine Tango, Country, Swing and Hustle). I am professional, educated, volunteer in my community, was raised with manners, am active, healthy, non-smoker and believe in treating everyone with kindness and respect.

Why they chose this property

This property is part of my group of boutique lodgings that was awarded 2019 Small Business of the Year for Tourism by the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber. We are also a multiple White Glove Award winner by the Superior Small Lodging Association for attaining 100-percent perfect scores in annual surprise inspections. We follow strict health and safety protocols to protect our staff and guests.
