Hands down the best hosts I’ve ever had. I travel pretty much full time for work, much of that time spent in short-term rentals, and I’ve never once had a host this accommodating. You won’t regret staying here.

This stay was wonderful! Very clean, well stocked and a 1 minute walk to a beautiful beach. The grounds are fantastic as well. We arrived at the condo after a very long day traveling. There was beer, wine, water, fresh fruit and snacks waiting for us! Don't pass this one up!

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!

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

This was a lovely and comfortable place to spend a week with our two kids. The garden was by far the most enjoyable part of the property, but the apartment itself was cute and had everything we needed (we LOVED the smell of the soaps provided in the kitchen and bathroom). It is a half a block from a nice beach, which was not particularly busy even on the weekend during spring break season. The owners and other guests were kind and respectful. The only thing we'd share with others is that the pull out couch was not very comfortable (as far as pull out beds go). It worked for one adult, or a small child, but future guests may want to consider this if that sleeping space is needed for more than one person, bigger kids, or more than a few days. Overall this was a great stay and we would definitely come again.

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.

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.

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!
