My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Coral Reef Guesthouse for a week while we were exhibiting at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, and this place blew us away. Quiet, charming, and just a few blocks from the beach, it was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of our workweek. From the moment we arrived, the owners, Russell and João, made us feel completely at home. They were kind, genuine, and made it clear this wasn't just a guesthouse—it was their home, and they were happy to share it. Their adorable French bulldog, Nina, was the cherry on top. She greeted us every morning like we were old friends, and honestly, we looked forward to seeing her little butt wiggle every day. The guesthouse itself is something special. The courtyard is like a private oasis, filled with lush greenery, orchids, bonsai trees, and peaceful vibes that made it easy to forget we were in the middle of a city. It was a perfect place to start the morning with a cup of coffee & tea. Or wind down after a long day of meetings. Our room was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The owners checked in regularly to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The attention to detail was clear, and it really felt like they cared about our experience. The location couldn’t be better. We brought our JackRabbit e-bikes and rode them daily along the coast, exploring restaurants, shops, and local spots all within easy distance. It’s tucked away enough to feel private

Weekend getaway

The hotel was closed and no one was around for check in. We had to ask around the neighborhood to find out where the owners lived and go to the house across the street to have them check us in. That was not a good experience. But other than that the hotel and the service was fantastic after that! I would stay again.

Poorly functioning toilet in the first 3 days of stay. On my third day of complaints about toilet manager/owner claimed I was “rude” and proceeded to insult me. Finally toilet was fixed. I have never been treated so distrespectfully. I will never return to this guesthouse

A fantastic find

A fantastic guesthouse & hosts. Located in a quiet area but still close enough to walk to the beach. Spacious rooms & comfy beds as well as supplying a continental breakfast each day. The hosts were very friendly & always willing to help. Upon arrival, Russell even took the time out to drive us around the nearby area to show us where local amenities were. Would definitely stay again should we return to the area.

Perfect place, loved it!

Very beautiful property, nice location, everything we needed! Love that's it's adult only, it was very quiet. The only complaint is that there was no coffee. There was a coffee pot, but no coffee or filters for it. We get up early and didn't like having to wait til 8 to get coffee. Everything else was perfect and we will stay again if/when we're in the area! Free parking too!
