This property is a typical old Florida 1950s Mom and Pop motel. The Sable Resort owns 4 adjacent properties (Shell, Martindale, Sandy Shores, and Seaside). We were looking for a place close to the beach with a pool and kitchen and the Sandy Shore met those criteria however it was a mixed bag. Positives: Location: about 100 yards to the... More

We booked this place based on location and price after reading the reviews. The place is perfectly located and off the main street of traffic. Yes, it is old and could use some modernizing. The room was clean and had the basic necessities. The pool area was nice-however, with the high rise condos on two sides-the amouont of sun is... More

We needed a place with more than one bedroom and with a kitchen, which limits hotel/motel options. But this place had several shortcomings that would prevent us from returning: (a) it was really run down: much of the furniture seemed second hand (mismatching pieces, scratches everywhere) and some rooms looked as if they hadn't been painted in years; (b) the...

Just like home, maybe a little better... I loved our room!!! We had a 1 bedroom apartment with a king size bed. The living room was suitable for entertaining guests, and the fully stocked (utensils, plates, pots and pans) kitchen had a full-sized fridge and stove, and a microwave and coffee maker. More

This was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable stays I have had in Florida. Check in was fast and I was escorted through a gated wall into a charming courtyard of single motel rooms surrounding a beautiful, blue swimming pool. The employees from the front desk to housekeeping were extremely courteous and helpful. I couldn't believe we were only... More

There was a note on the door with my name on it, so obviously we were still expected, but there was no answer at the number listed.Finally got hold of someone at one... More

The staff was extremely friendly when I checked in. My room was very clean and the enclosed pool was picture perfect. Perfect location withing walking distance of everywhere I wanted to go.....mostly beach and restaurants. Fort Lauderdale beach is pristine....miles of white sandy shores. Prices a bit high for jet ski rentals. I plan on returning and staying longer. More

We stayed at the Seaside Motel (same property as Sandy Hill) from Dec. 27th 2008 to January 7th 2008. This is a basic 2 floor motel with standard rooms and efficiencies. Our room had two double beds, a full kitchen, a walk-in closet. The swimming pool is heated. Location is perfect at the intersection of Bayshore and North Birch Road... More
