The Desoto Inns

Steve was a wonderful host and the place is just peaceful ! definitely..we will return!

The b a was really bad

It was so strange to go upstairs into the office to check in as it's where the owner lives! I felt I was intruding the sacred space. They are so welcoming and friendly, we even were next door to their chef. Not sure if they are brand new with free breakfast or was just a limited time, but while we were there they started a morning breakfast. I was a big fan! Delicious fresh juice, healthy options like quinoa and veggies, granola and Greek yogurt - it varied daily. My husband is a picky eater so didn't have any of it. I wished we stayed longer to enjoy the grounds and just relax outside on one of the lounge chairs near the trees or their two caged birds. I loved the tranquil feel of the place and the honor code when it came to helping ourselves with anything in the shared cabinet (bikes, Band-Aids, aloe vera, cotton balls) or bookcases (books, cards, and boardgames). I felt safe and out of the hustle and bustle, yet a short bike ride away from the 'Broadwalk' for restaurants. The only thing that affected my comfort was that there was only 1 of my 4 showers that maintained temperature. My others were in and out of hot vs cold. Overall, I'd definitely go back.

We were very pleased with our stay at The Desoto. The location is great. We will definitely stay there again when visiting the area.

DO NOT GO!!! My wife was waiting to spend time in the garden area and relax. The first day, we went to the boardwalk and came back to set back and relax in the lighted garden area. At 10:30pm, one of the owners came out yelling that after 10:00pm is QUITE time. Never was told this, not in the rule book in the room and not their website. Now, there are parrots in cages in garden area, they are loud starting at 7:00am. Locatin: 1.7 miles to closes store, 2.1 miles from boardwalk and 1.6 miles from the peer. The beach at the end of the street is beautiful. You carry your on chair and umbrella to the beach, it's not bad. Now on their website that are on a secluded beach, I will agree during week, but not the weekend, many others and kids. If you want to to Hollywood, FL -- stay on the great Boardwalk.

This hotel is a real gem, a little piece of paradise. Its located in a beautiful quiet side street, but only a short walk away from great bars and places to eat. The owners were really helpful and happy to get you settled in quickly. I can highly recommend this as some where to stay if visiting the area.

We wanted a place to relax after a transatlantic flight. The Desoto Inn was perfect. Very close to the beach but quiet and without being overcrowded. Steve was very helpful and made our stay very pleasant by accommodating an after midnight arrival and working with us to check out. We love the beach and having a quiet place to rest. It was the highlight of our vacation.

This was a VERY clean place to stay. Steve, the owner, was an excellent host. The place is fully equipped with everything you need, except the food. There are beautiful flowers and bushes all in the court yard. He has bicycles you can use free of charge. He also has beach chairs and umbrellas. Steve even thought of your spare time by having all sorts of books you can read while there. OOPs, forgot your sunglasses or suntan lotion? Not to worry, Steve has some you can borrow. The beach is just a stones throw away from your room. The time of the year we went,Oct. there was hardly anyone on the beach.

Absolutely the cleanest place you'd ever stay at! Super friendly & any convenience a place could possibly offer for you!

We loved that it was out from the big high rise hotels. The beach was much more private and quiet.
