This place checked every box and exceeded expectations. The outdoor grill was a huge bonus! Convenient to the airport, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale and Dania Beach yet so quiet that you can hear the owls hoot at night and relax in the outdoor living room under the tiki hut and lovely beach just steps away, this location is a hidden gem with top notch hosts and staff.

The beautiful landscaping, the short walk to the private beach, convenient location to the Broadwalk, the surprise treats/beverages waiting for us just to mention a few. This area of Hollywood is very quiet and peaceful with busy nightlife just a short drive away. We were happy that we could visit with Brian even if it was just for a little bit as he was leaving for a family trip.

We didn't want to leave! I can't speak any more highly about our hosts and their entire crew. They were such a delight and so accommodating. We were so appreciative that they had snacks and refreshments (especially coffee) ready for us in our unit. After a long day of travel it was great not having to worry about picking up groceries the moment we got into town. Our favorite things about this property was the beautiful garden and tikki hut, and the proximity to the beach (much quiter than the beach on the main drag.) Beach chairs and umbrellas were available for use, so we spent a lot of time just relaxing in the beach... Which was sorely needed. We can't wait to go back. ##### Jawanna M.

Jan 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exceptional stay The apartment was wonderful and we loved every moment of it. Most of the time we were at the Dania (?) beach which is one of my favorite in the world. Quieter, so it is great for families and it is a half block from the ocean. What was pressurizing was they had bikes and we couldn't stop the 12 year old from riding on the path. Even I, an old Nana, got on the seat and took a ride. They had a bevy of snacks when we walked in the door which really helped us from a day of travel. I am truly hoping we will be able to return next year. It's an amazing place and my fingers are crossed. ##### Misha S. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robin S. Jul 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pleasant little apartment Brian & Aleyda are wonderful hosts. We will be back to this wonderful property again. \*You must go to Tiki-Tiki\* Pros -Food/snacks/drinks were waiting when we arrived. So impressed that upon arrival the hosts provided just enough groceries to get us thru a cpl days while we waited for our groceries to be delivered from Walmart. Bread, deli meat & cheese, coffee, snacks, fresh fruit & veggies, & small bag of ice among other things. Even cpl alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks!! So appreciated. 2.) They have everything you could think of for a day at the beach: chairs, towels, floaties, beach toys, umbrellas!!! 3.) Property is simple & beautiful. A mini oasis 4.) Sooooo close to the beach…like four houses down!! Loved it. 5.) The beach is private & has life guard with NO CROWDS Cons (This is only meant to be helpful to others deciding if this is right for them…no negative feeling here.) 1.) The bathroom is on the small side. We are not big people and felt almost on top of the toilet paper roll. 2.) The mattress is definitely on the firm/hard side. We had achy backs a cpl of mornings. 3.) Be aware that when using the stove use the low setting…we have a gas stove at home and still found it hard to cook without burning. 4.) I would hope this doesn’t happen often, but I was eaten alive every time we sat under the tiki hut. Now, we visited in July and humidity was extremely high. In addition, Florida had just gotten rained on for weeks. Just something to keep in mind. ##### Robin S. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eva M.

Jul 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Kim M.

Brian and his wife were an absolute treat and made such a difference for our stay. They were such attentive and accommodating hosts. We absolutely enjoyed this cozy space - perfect for 3 women! A short walk to the beach and local restaurants. Ordering groceries and food was a breeze. When wanting to explore the beach 5 minutes away, a quick bus trip or uber was fairly inexpensive. We also were about 30 minutes from Miami, which was perfect for those nights out. 10/10 recommend - great experience! ##### Alycia F. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sana S.

With the beach less than a block away, you can't go wrong. The apartment itself is really nice too, it felt clean and had cool decor. Couch was very comfy to watch movies on! Plus, it was well stocked with everything you needed: shampoo, kitchen utensils, beach towels. We appreciated the outdoor shower they had outside so we could rinse off after the beach before going inside. The location was great - the boardwalk area in Hollywood Beach was just a short drive away, there were some good restaurants nearby too, and we were even able to walk down the beach to take a surfing lesson. The check in process was super easy and communication was smooth. Overall, we would highly recommend staying here if you're looking to stay right next to a beautiful beach! ##### Sana S.

The hosts were helpful and friendly, we were steps from the ocean, and the garden was the perfect place to spend the evening. The hosts really thought of everything. ##### Celeste L.

Can easily go from beach to the room for any needs. The property had several semi-private areas to enjoy for coffee, cocktails, a book or just relaxing. All patrons were friendly. We were able to recharge completely here. ##### Steven m.
