The history and charm of Blue Seas can not be described. As soon as you walk in, you are treated like a nearest and dearest friend. Gary, the manager, is visible and checks in with everyone. Rachel makes sure your room has all you need each day; and greets you with a smile! The other vacationers return to Blue Seas year after year, and we can see why. The pool is a gathering place where stories are shared and memories are made. I’m so glad after all of our searching, we chose to stay there. Here’s to future trips By The Sea…

The hotel is clean, nice and very stylish. The manager and the owner are very nice and friendly persons. The beaches are long and have a nice white sand. The ocean is big and warm and has a lot of interesting places for diving and snorkeling. Many shops and cafes, including a local mall, are within walking distance. All these lots of geckos and the palm trees are present. Highly recommend!

Nice Stay

This is a small hotel and in our discussions with other guests a very loyal year to year clientele. Pool area is nice with lots of chaise lounges and seating. Pool and area are very clean. We had room #1 which is very small but comfortable. Small refrigerator and stove and utensils. The day to day manager and the lady who takes care of the rooms are very friendly and professional.
We think the greatest asset is location to Lauderdale by the Sea. 5 minute to walk to 10/15 restaurants, ice cream and some shops.

We really enjoyed our 2-week stay. It’s a spectacular property and it is walking distance to restaurants, bars, liquor stores, pharmacies, and grocery stores. We rented a car because we wanted to see Miami, Palm Beach, and drive through the Keys. But many guests don’t rent a car because it isn’t necessary - everything you need is in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea. The beach is only steps away and has amazing white sand. Blue Seas Courtyard offers free beach chairs and umbrella’s for the beach, free bikes, and there is a washer and dryer you can use for a small fee. Guests sit around a central pool playing cards, and chatting with new friends over a drink (or two…). Don’t delay - book your vacation at Blue Seas Courtyard. You won’t regret it.

We had a great relaxing time when we stayed at Blue Seas Courtyard. Very clean and well maintained. Heated pool was 86, went in morning and night. We drove down from Wisconsin with beach chairs and umbrella,but did not need because they provide them and bicyles, next time we will fly. Beach is half a block away and restaurants one block. We made or breakfast in our room because it has a stove and pans for cooking. Felt very safe all the time, walked to dinner at night and came home late without a worry. Publix grocery store just a few blocks away, so we could get steaks and grill them on the grill they provide. If I had a complaint it would be how did 10 days go so fast. we are already plaining when we can go back.

Colorful and charming small hotel whose owners and staff clearly put a lot of effort and experience into creating an artful and well maintained property. The location is beautiful and it was easy to get to nice restaurants and beaches, especially with the added range provided by onsite bicycles (the best feature!) The attention to detail and friendliness of staff were among the best I've seen. The room and kitchenette were well equipped and very clean. We met travelers from all over the US and Europe, and the small venue made it easy to interact and share stories and even meals. Many of them were repeat visitors over many years. However, there was one issue that prevented this from being the \"knock-it-out-of-the-park\" vacation it should have been; towards the end of our stay, a very loud family showed up and commandeered all of the common space with noise, clutter, dirty laundry hanging to dry, towels clipped to pool chairs all day to prevent others from using them, screaming children leaping and throwing balls in the small pool and filling it with toys whether or not in it, etc...they treated it like their own backyard, not a hotel.
While hoteliers cannot control who visits, they need to check behavior that interferes with the enjoyment of other guests. Thus, the small, intimate setting was a plus-minus as it was impossible to avoid the loud/rude guests despite enjoying the setting and a really lovely hotel in other ways.

It's just across a very quiet street from the beach and the hotel provides everything you need to go - towels, beach chairs, umbrellas. Restaurants and shopping are just a few steps away.

What a gem! Absolutely beautiful place half a block to the beach and a block to the heart of downtown Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Super colorful, tastefully decorated with hacienda vibes, stunningly clean rooms, nice pool with outdoor shower to wash off any sand before going into your room. Owners live on the property and are super friendly nice folks, plus they have the cutest pup who is super friendly roaming around the property. You really feel like you’re visiting someone’s home as opposed to staying at some boring hotel room. Oh! And they have refillable environmentally friendly organic soap, shampoo, and conditioner which was soft of the skin and smelled amazing. They have a cute binder with information about the hotel and area that we found helpful to read through. I would certainly recommend this to friends and family visiting the area, and would go back as well. Really neat place and different experience from staying at the huge hotels in Ft. Lauderdale like I was used to doing. Go and stay! You will not be disappointed.

What a wonderful couple that hosted our stay. I loved the hand painted walls and decor. Upon researching multiple hotels in the same price range, this was by far the most beautiful bang for my buck! The hotel’s outdoor lights reflected outside and it was a beautiful sight to see. Wonderful stay and helpful staff! Will definitely come back again.

This is the coolest, little boutique hotel. The owners are on site if you need anything. The rooms are comfortable with everything you need ready to use. They have wonderful bath products and towels to use. They have free use of beach chairs, beach umbrellas, bikes, etc. There's a number of shops and restaurant options within walking distance, and you feel very secure with door locks, 24 hour video monitoring, etc. I can't wait to make this an annual trip and we already look forward to next year.

This was a beautifully Mexican style decorated place right across from the beach. The owners are really nice. The pool was clean, it was quiet and a very nice place to get away.

This is a small business owned property and the owners put a ton of effort and detail into their business and making sure their guests are comfortable. When I first got to my room, there was an issue with the lock and within 5 minutes of calling the owners, Cristie and Marc immediately stopped by to fix it. They also live on the property and you can tell they really care about their guests having a great experience. The room was clean and well air-conditioned, and they have chairs, umbrellas, and beach towels to borrow. The property is a 5 minute walk from dining and other stores like publix and cvs. The beach is also about a 2 minute walk. The neighborhood vibe is very laid back and I really enjoyed my stay and this neighborhood. I'm already looking into when I can come back for a stay!

The place is set up as a Mexican Hacienda. You could tell that each piece of art on the proporty was hand picked to fit. The owner lives and works on the property and was very friendly.

We were so pleased with the location of this hotel!! Across the street from the beach, walking distance from the main drag with a ton of restaurant options and night life, but far enough to be quiet when you get back to your room. Publix supermarket, coffee shops and a dollar store are nearby for anything you forgot. The manager, Gary, and the owners were very friendly, as were the other guests. Rooms are nicely decorated Mexican Hacienda style and have small, but comfortable kitchens. Everything is warm and charming. Make time to dine at Sea Watch restaurant on the water. Fantastic food, service and ocean view. We will definitely come back again.

Beautiful, spotless clean, amazing location and very friendly staff. The owners Cristina and her husband were amazing host that make us feel like we were home. The place is a beautiful Mexican villa style with everything you need to make your vacation time perfect, they offer bicycles, chairs, umbrellas and towels to take to the beach. Very close to the beach and top popular restaurants in a walking distance. Highly recommend the place! Five stars

Absolutely adorable

I was a little unsure when we booked this place, knowing about other independent hotels in S. FL, but when we got there the place far exceeded what we thought it would be. The property was decorated beautifully as well as the room. We said it was like staying in the Mexico pavilion at Disney. It is a small, homey place and everyone was very friendly. If we go back to that area, we will stay there again.

The entire place was a wonderful. From the cleanliness of the room the fun mexican decor, how close you are to walking distance to the beach and the night life. Lauderdale-on-the-sea is a quaint small area with delicious restaurants and night life.

But the Blue Seas was amazing and we can't wait to go back!!

It is small, intimate, and family friendly.... just what I was looking for. We got to interact with other travelers and management. Management showed me the amenities and directions to what was nearby.
It wasn't crowded.
The location was perfect. Usually when I travel I rent a car. This time I did not bc I seen that it was in walking distance of everything.
I think the longest we walked to where we were going was nine minutes.
My children loved it and did not want to return home. They loved when we returned back that first night and everything was so lit up. They were so excited bc it was beautiful.

I would definitely recommend this place. We will be returning.
