We just had a great week at the DeSoto with our 4 year old son. We loved the garden for breakfast al fresco with the friendly birds, for a shady work spot on the wifi which is now strong, for a relief from beach time, for harvesting from the garden and for grilling our dinner. The efficiency studio had everything... More

The DeSoto is a home away from home. Steve is the most welcoming proprietor I have met, and he works very hard to make the inn a relaxing getaway. The place was spotlessly clean and the garden was fabulous. Only steps away from the beach - what could be better? How about a delicious dinner on the night we arrived?... More

My husband and I were looking for an unpretentious, quiet place for a week of R and R with our 10 year old son. We found it. The inn promised cleanliness and personal service and wow, did it deliver. Everything about the Desoto was lovely, from the charming and attentive innkeepers Steve and Josias, who went above and beyond the... More

Our stay at the DeSoto was great, from initial contact through departure after our stay in November. Just a short walk from the ocean, lovely gardens and clean accommodations. Some problems with Wi-Fi which Steve has been working tirelessly to get resolved. Thanks for a great stay Steve. Look forward to visiting you again in Hollywood. More

On my last day at the DeSoto, I seriously considered barricading myself into the room and refusing to leave. What's not to love? Cool terrazzo floors, fluffy towels and crisp linens; the soft susserance of surf and the cieling fan and the breeze in the bougainvilla; louvered windows shaded by palms; an exquisitely clean kitchen kitted out with all the...

Wow ! This place is a gem. The gardens are filled with flowers and attract so many butterflies, it is so charming. Located right by the beach, there are bike, chairs and umbrellas to borrow. Everything was really clean and Service was always with a smile. Love the sunrises and sunsets, the fishing and the sand. . . each new... More

We chose the Desoto to celebrate our anniversary this year. That decision was as good as the decision we made to get married 3 years ago! This is such a charming little Inn, from the outdoor coffee bar to the gazebos and cockatiels in the garden. I am positive that we will return. I am so glad that we only... More

and then just relax at this little slice of heaven. The beauty and fragrance of the garden will delight, but when dusk falls and the garden lights come on, you will be enchanted! If you're cooking in your room, and need some rosemary? Just step outside your room and pinch some from the plant a few feet from your door.... More

"it's the _b_r_ o_a_ d_ walk, not the boardwalk ". Sage advice! Speaking of herbs :~), the cilantro and rosemary is especially full and fragrant this week, and night bloming jasmine is in bloom. Hurry back. Steve & Josias More

it has been a week and I am still lulled by the memories. I want to go back...The DeSoto Oceanview is so perfect that I am reluctant to say too much for fear of sending flocks of other "escapees" running for their flip flops. A stay at this Inn is a dream. From the garden teeming with bougainvilla, fragrant herbs(!)... More
