Our stay in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea at Sea Spray Inn was absolutely delightful! We selected a studio room with a kitchen that overlooked the main pool. Room #10 offered a fantastic view of the pool and even a tiny glimpse of the ocean from our chairs. The room was well-equipped with a spacious closet, a compact yet well-stocked kitchen, and meticulous attention to detail throughout. Sea Spray Inn has two pools, both of which we enjoyed immensely. They provided us with beach chairs and umbrellas in excellent condition for our beach outings. The entire resort was impeccably maintained, and the staff was incredibly friendly, providing exceptional service and housekeeping. We were able to indulge in the amenities before and after our check-in and check-out times. One of the highlights was the prime location, just steps away from the beach and within easy walking distance of various restaurants. We explored the area entirely on foot and relished every moment! Without a doubt, we plan to return in the future. A big thank you to Sea Spray Inn and its wonderful staff for making our stay truly memorable!…

LBTS is a very charming, small town north of Ft. Lauderdale. The Sea Spray is on the southern end of town. It is very close to town square, walking distance. There is a Walgreens, liquor store and Publix very close. It is located across from beach access, the street is seldom busy and easy to cross. We stayed in a one bedroom, pool side. They own a motel and two small renovated buildings next door. Be sure to understand what you are renting. The room was spacious, there was a living area, separate bathroom, kitchen nook and bedroom with a door. It had plenty of storage. You really only get a very small view of the ocean from the rooms on top floor. Not a big deal at all, just a footnote. The rooms poolside are very close to the pool, with plenty of shaded tables and sun loungers. The southern side of town is a bit more quiet. The pros: great price, rooms with full kitchen, rooms steps from a small pool, very friendly management, nice sized shower, use of beach chairs/umbrella, close to town, use of neighboring pool in shade, one site parking. They are great about exchanging towels. Room was clean and in good repair, the pictures online are very accurate. The Cons: the air conditioner was loud at night and the room seemed damp. To be fair, it was a rainy week in south Florida. The mattress was pillow top felt small. I believe it was a Queen. For an adult and teen it was a bit tight. The toilet was awkwardly placed very close to the shower door. All in all, I would recommend The Sea Spray to anyone!…

We recently stayed there with friends from 5/1-5/4. This hidden gem definitely exceeded our expectations. The room was clean, and better than we expected. Cindy and her staff really went out of their way to make you feel at home and provided great customer service. The pool out back was really cool and very private with a hot tub. Located within walking distance to the beach and another bonus was they provided beach chairs and umbrellas you could take with you as opposed to some places that make you pay to use them. We couldn't have been more pleased with this place and would definitely stay here again. A+++!

This is a terrific spot for staying in Ft Lauderdale. The location could not have been better. Across from the beach and walking distance to many places for food, drinks, groceries and other supplies. Our room was super clean and had everything you would need whether it was for a short or extended stay. The well equipped kitchen came in very handy. There is an abundance of beach supplies available for use as well. The customer service was amazing; relaxed yet efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you everyone at The Sea Spray for a wonderful vacation. Looking forward to returning next year!!

This was the best place due to the staff and the immaculate room and grounds. So close to the restaurants and a block off the ocean, which was perfect as the wind was in my mind "gale force". The locals called it "breezy" hahahahahaha. I plan to return next year for a longer vacation, and I can't wait. The staff wasn't just friendly, they made us feel like family. Beach chairs, beach towels (refreshed daily) and floaties available and much appreciated. Tables with umbrellas and tables under the top floor for us snow birds that can't handle a full day of sun. We were in room 5 and plan to do more of our own cooking next time and grilling too. Publix is a 7 block walk and one can call for a Why Walk Shuttle to take back with the groceries. It was perfection and my only regret was having to leave after 8 days.…

Stayed here for 4 nights and days recently and once again it was an exceptional stay. We loved our accomodations. The kitchen area was ideal to prepare simple meals and breakfast. The outdoor pool area is very clean and the pool itself it quite refreshing. Nice comfortable chairs around the pool itself. Tables and umbrellas if you need to get out of the sun. The location is perfect for walking into Lauderdale-by-the-sea to a number of restaurants as well the beach is directly accross the street. The Inn provides beach chairs, beach towels and floaties. A lovely place to stay.

this place was the perfect location. Across from the beach and one block to the main area. Super clean and well appointed. Great communication and amenities. We will be back! We had room 5. The courtyard/pool area was so cute!

I really do not want to let people know about this place! One block from the beach, 5 minute walk to the main drag. Very convenient. The large living room with sofa bed, large TV, dining room table, full kitchen area, 2 bedrooms (one with a king size bed and the other has a queen size bed each with their own closets) and nice size bathroom! All furniture and accents were of quality not typically found in a hotel. I would liken it to someone's home. It was very airy and relaxing. Had everything you needed in the kitchen, bathroom and even an iron. Housekeeping services could be daily for towels. Just leave a basket outside your door. You're assigned your own parking space and have your own code to enter your apartment. We walked a lot rather than drove to Lauderdale by the Sea. I am familiar with this area from the last 20 years. We are from L.A. and were there for my mother-in-law's Celebration of Life. My young adult children, upon first laying eyes on our apartment, all complimented me and said this was the best place I EVER selected during our travels. And it truly was. We felt it was our "home away from home" and could come and go as we pleased. I even had the opportunity to speak with the main office since my oldest son's girlfriend had a different flight that we did and she had to kill time. They were very accommodating and said she can leave her luggage in their office, use the pool/jacuzzi, go to the beach and use the bathroom /shower in the little separate building where the laundry facilities were. For this alone, I appreciated their sincere hospitality! We will be back! :)…
