We stayed here January 21-28 2012, and neither of us wanted to leave at the end! We had wanted a hassle-free, laid back beach stay, and this was just what we were looking for. The location is just south of the "boardwalk" in Hollywood, and tucked in amongst various condo buildings, so the beach is much more peaceful and less... More

Delighted that you had such a great time with us at the Manta Ray Inn!! Your comments definitely made a difference to Thomas and Gerry!!!

I wanted the beach. I wanted the ocean. I got both at the Manta Ray Inn. Not to mention an 84F pool and spacious quarters. Big screen TVs, full living room and comfortable beds. The business is run by a family that cares. Cleaned to perfection. A long walk to shops and restaurants but well worth it. In short, I'll... More

I was lured in by the #2 TripAdvisor rating, and it did not disappoint. The location is awesome -- right on the beach! The staff could not have been more accommodating and even went out of their way to welcome me and make me feel right at home after a long journey and my late arrival. The housekeeper brought me...

My husband and I visited Manta Ray Inn for the weekend and we really did not want to leave. The place is impeccable, staff is friendly and accommodating and you couldn’t get closer to the beach unless you’re in it. Manta Ray provides the privacy of a hideaway and is also close enough to various attractions and entertainment. We plan... More
