The Desoto is a home away from home. with Its lush Florida-Native gardens less than 1/2 block from the Atlantic Ocean and it's exceptionally clean, warm, friendly accommodations (this includes rooms, Steve, and Josias) allows me to relax and rejuvenate before returning home. Any time of the year you will find the Desoto a gem. There is no pool but... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The studio had everything we needed and was clean, with wonderful pictures on the wall, and a shower curtain full of flip-flops, which made us feel right at home We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen; we ate in the garden at one of several tables available there. The parrot and the cockatoos (sp?) in their... More

We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us. The studio is really a nice choice for all of the extra space it offers, and for just a few dollars more, I'm glad you chose it. Thank you for your kind review, and please come back again, soon! More

I agree with all of the glowing accolades that Steve and Josias have justifiably earned from their guests. Indeed, our amiable hosts were helpful and the rooms are comfortable and spotlessly clean. What also sets this lovely inn apart is the thoughtful landscaping. The owners display a strong environmental ethic that is refreshingly different from the typical, commercial Florida motel... More

Thank you for recognizing our commitment to the environment, and especially our Florida native environment. We love the challenge of creating an environmentally-friendly garden, and we love it even more when a guest appreciates it. We are now nearly 90% native at the Oceanview, and our Ocean Spray garden is 100% native Florida. Thanks again for the beautiful review, come... More

So many rave reviews I guess I will give another. My first thought is to keep this a secret and have the place all to myself...myself and my wife. But it's way too late for that. Wherever you look or to whom you speak; anyone who has experienced this little gem will tell you the same things: this a quiet,... More

My week-long stay at The Desoto was just the retreat I needed after 8 long months of working 70-hour weeks. My gal pal and I stayed in a loft-style apartment with a kitchenette. The decor was soothing and made me feel like I was a real Floridian living in a Oceanside Hideaway. The hotel is literally next to the ocean,... More

Great cozy rooms with all the ameneties you will need. The breakfast daily is delicious and all organic. The hotel offers guest umbrellas and beach chairs, along with bikes you can explore the board walk in. Definitely will be back!

With our breakfast service just getting ready to begin again for the summer season, it's great to hear our guests talking about how good the breakfasts are. My favorite is pancake Tuesdays and blueberry muffin day, although Radically Raw Fridays is also great, you know, there's simply not a bad day is there!. Come on back soon for some more... More

I have contacted this hotel 2X in the last week via their reservation request on their website, and yesterday via the phone regarding availability. Their website does not indicate whether there is availability or not, so the request is all you can do. I have yet to receive an email back or a call to let me know. I have... More

I am so sorry that we did not get back to NJCares regarding the possibility of staying with us at the Desoto, however, I am ecstatic that NJCares was able to find accommodations elsewhere. I am just sorry that a communications glitch earned us an overall "terrible" rating for the inn, so many people work so hard to make everything... More
