Love, Love, Love this place. Perfect location, heated pool. 2 pools only 1 heated. Perfect sz rooms. Very clean, not modernized, but perfect. Varying szs. Family owned and operated. Pride is felt. A block from ocean and a block from downtown. Highly recommend. Come here every year. On my there now for 11 days. Book in advance, rooms go quickly. Did I say I loved it? Seriously!! Any review that says otherwise is crazy. Plain and simple!!! The whole family, who are the owners, couldn't be any nicer and accommodating. 3rd year in a row here.
Cute, old school motel. Situated a block off the main intersection. Easy beach access, restaurants and shopping.
Being 66 years old ! This place reminds me of my childhood/ old Florida, before the massive Hotels and simpler times. Arthur the owner is always very accommodating, clean rooms and pools. Location with plenty of restaurants and entertainment in walking distance.
The people who owned this place or that work here are so cool and awesome, we LOVED them. Such a quiet lil area right down the road from the beach (2 min walking distance, with shops). Rooms are a lil dated but didn’t even mind; super clean :) overall good experience would recommend highly! They have ice :)
Love this place!! We Come here every year! The owners are very friendly, caring and accommodating people! So many people come back every year!! Close to beach, restaurants and entertainment. You don’t even need a car. Everything in walking distance. They even have a name of someone to pick you up at the airport.
This motel was a wonderful find. We were looking for a little last minute getaway to get my grandma out of the house. Luckily, we found this resort. It was a comfortable walk to the beach (even lugging all my son’s toys) and close to a lot of restaurants. They even have an assortment of beach/pool toys and chairs that the guests can borrow (on check-in, they even dug out a boogie board for my son to use while he was there) The rooms were extremely clean, and the beds were comfortable. However, the best asset is the friendly and accommodating family that own it and the wonderful housekeeper they have on staff. They went above and beyond to accommodate us and kept asking us to make sure that everything was ok and that we were comfortable. We were checking out on the 4th of July, and they let us extend our check out time so that we could enjoy the town’s festivities. You do not find service like this from one of the big chains.
I had a relaxing weekend and the front desk attendant was so very nice and helpful and friendly. I would Go back and stay there with out any doubt. I give the Shore Haven Resort A+ in comfort and enjoy My birthday weekend there.
We chose this property based on the reviews and I’m so glad we did! The owners are so kind and accommodating. We usually stay in Fort Lauderdale Beach, but I think this is our new spot when we’re in South Florida!
A 29-minute drive from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, this functional low-rise hotel is 2 blocks from the beach.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Florida. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
