“Great Place to Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

Amazing Service
My partner and I stayed on this property when it was under former ownership. It was OK then. I returned to this property again because of it's loacation. We were very pleased that the new owner has repaced all of the fabric items. The new King Size bed was perfect for comfort. The room was updated paint and decoration wise. The thing that makes this place outstanding is the service. The owner is the sole prerson at this time who is providing services to his clients. He is always pleasant and makes every effort to enhance a person's stay. He provided wash and fold service for us, I never expected this as a service at a Guesthouse. He is attempting to obtain an adjoining proerty to expand the guesthouse. I will definetly stay here again. I wish him the best of luck to him in the future. I recently contacted him (Jan 2012) requesting information with respect to the mattress that he used in the room that we stayed in as we are thinking of getting a new mattress for our bed. He responded withing two days with all the information that anyone would want to obtain this items. This ia an example of walt going beyond the call of duty in providing services to his clients.

I have stayed at 15FTL several times. With each stay it keeps getting better and better. Extraordinarily accomodating! Great breakfast and snacks throughout the day. Walt is very accomodating and helpful! Returning several times to 15FTL this winter. It's my home away from home!

“Worth A Visit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

Granted, I stayed here only one night, but I was impressed with the quality of the room and property as well as the friendly, service-oriented approach of the proprietors--experienced hospitality professionals with comfort on their mind.

Give this place a try. It's location is actually ideal for some travelers because you are closer to Wilton Manors than you would be staying on the beach, but only a short drive from both. I would recommend coming with a group of friends--it's small enough where you could really make the place your own for a couple of days. It has a cute, heated pool and free breakfast and beverages that don't feel chintzy.

Walt, the new manager was very friendly. Very flexible too. We were planning to stay only 5 night but ended up staying two weeks cause it was such a nice place to stay. Comfortable beds, nice pool, nice garden, we are for sure going back!!!!

“A Hidden Gem”

Having stay at this guest house several times when it was known as The New Zealand House and enjoyed it I had concerns steming from the last time I stayed here when it was still the New Zealand House. It was apparent that owners Rich & Warren had given up. The Great News is this Guest House is going through a Complete Rebirth. It is being totally redone and upgraded with one of the nicest guest managers ( Walt) you'd ever meet. Walt goes the extra mile for his guests. Walt is the perfect host. All rooms have new linens and beds, most rooms ( mainly the poolside rooms) have been completely done over ) Rear rooms under renovations. This Guest House is spotless. Relaxing ! Bring your music , Walt will play it for you. Bring your own wine as they soon will have a liquor license since the last owners allowed the license to expire. I always liked the location for the ease of shopping etc. Thanks Walt for making this Guest House a Gem. I can not wait to return . Rich S New York

Room Tip: The best rooms are Front & Pool Side.......
