“BEST VACATION EVER”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

Our stay at The Desoto Inn definitely made it our best vacation ever! It is the perfect location to stay for a family, personal getaway, or a couples retreat. Only minutes from downtown Hollywood. The owner Steve was so personable! He interacted with you as if you were family and had known you for years. It was clean and convenient. Had all the things you may ever need: full kitchen, healthy breakfast served every morning, cable tv, and many of the things we forgot (chairs, kids toys, boogie boards, bikes, aloe and spf, *ALL FREE OF CHARGE!!) It was simply beautiful, from the well kept gardens, tiki huts, and bird cage. It was very relaxing and quiet. Parking was assigned, so you never had to fight for a spot. With twenty foot steps your feet are in the sand, NO DRIVING REQUIRED. The beach wasn't crowded. It's not a party beach, which is how I like to stay. It was simply perfect! If you're considering please don't pass up this opportunity, you will NOT be disappointed. You don't find places like this anymore these days. We will sure to return ourselves.

“A special place run by very special owners!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 18, 2012

We (me & 2 sons ages 13 & 9) stayed at the DeSoto in September when tropical storm Isaac hit. We actually had a great time and the owner, Steve, was taking good care of everyone there even bringing lunch to his guest's rooms figuring we were sequestered (we actually braved the weather). The DeSoto went above & beyond in the service department (so rare!) and is such a charming, beautiful, unique place to stay. I live in Oregon & plan on traveling all the way to Florida just to stay at the DeSoto again, thanks to the wonderful experience there. Loved it!

“Nice Relaxing vacation and the most friendliest staff!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 18, 2012

I stayed at the desoto Inn this past August. It was the best vacation ever, because of the location and the people. The Desoto Inn really valued the importance of having a relaxing vacation. My favorite thing about the Desoto (and which i bragged about when returning home) was the free access to vacation things, such as beach cruisers, beach chairs, and defintely the variety of sunscreen and aloe that we were able to use. If you are thinking of staying with the Desoto Inn, please do! This was one of the best vacations in a long time! - Angie Vinci, Nastassia, and Jasper

“LOVED IT!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 16, 2012

My boyfriend and I happened to book our stay the weekend Tropical Storm Issac hit. Still, The Desoto proved to be wonderful. We had a great time, personally chatted with the owner [Steve, very nice guy] and just loved the place. It's very eco-friendly and green... The place looks like a garden. I would recommend it to anyone :)

Room Tip: Booking the one bedroom really made it feel like we were in a home away from home. Very comfortable!

“Fabulous property, quiet retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 16, 2012

What a beautiful, tranquil experience, we will definitely go back.. My fiance and I stayed at the Desoto Oceanview Inn at the beginning of September for 4 days... The property is beautifully landscaped, quiet and peaceful. The beach was a few minutes walk and so gorgeous.. nobody around but us! We rented a 1 bedroom unit that was immaculate,and so tastefully decorated, loaded with South Florida charm. I was skeptical about the vegan breakfast, but was pleasantly surprised. Everything was so delicious, I wish she was my personal chef!! Steve was pleasant and helpful for any of our requests. A definite jewel in Hollywood!!!
