The bathroom shower had a significant amount of mold. Coffee pot was at least 40 years old and badly stained. Furniture and decor were dated. Unsure that blanket had been washed, but it was very worn. There was no shampoo, conditioner or body wash. Towels were very thin/cheap.

Location and price were great. Owners were attentive. Some who are used to new hotels in suburbia might find the rooms dated but not unusual for non- chain rooms in FL. For example, no central air, older window AC, no soap dishes in bathroom, etc. I'm fine with old school and the Wi-Fi works great and a full kitchenette and beach chairs! Two blocks to the beach and all the restaurants and bars for a great price what more child you ask for

From accommodating our early arrival, to the arrangement of a late checkout, we could not have asked more. Our room was spotless, kitchen had everything we might need, and the water pressure in the shower could practically peel paint-just the way we like it. The courtyard was quiet, and we more or less had the pool to ourselves for the duration of our stay. Just a few steps to the shops & dining, a couple of blocks to a grocery store, and the beach only minutes away by foot as well. Perfect.

This lovely gem is near everything in Lauderdale by the Sea. The pool is clean with Adirondack chairs and tables. The garden is lovely to just sit and relax in the nearby ocean's breezes. Beach chairs & towels are available, and a variety of after sun/burn products are too!
We had a ground floor room with 2 queen beds, table & chairs, fridge, oven/stove, microwave, all pots, pans, plates, glass & tableware, plenty of closet/drawer space (with hangers), blankets, iron & board.
They clean & change towels MWF.
Parking on premises, with a 2-3 block walk to beach. Outside table and chairs to dine outside your room. Lots of restaurants, kitchy shops, a grocery store nearby.
Try the Aruba Cafe on the beach. Yummy food, reasonably priced for what you get. Kilwins ice cream.
We made friends with a local cat, but no pets allowed.
Pleasant guests. Quiet.
Very enjoyable stay.

Place was clean. Bed was ok. Looked very nice from outside.
Pleasant owner. Lived on property.
Nice pool
Felt safe
Well stocked Pot and pans dishes etc.
Nice play area across the street.
Dislikes: place is older. Needs updated. Small room. Small shower. Bath towels were more like hand towels. Refrigerator didn’t keep food cold. Freezer door wouldn’t stay closed Every time you opened the refrigerator door the freezer door came open .Grills we’re old but useable.Didn’t like the fact that guest could not use the pool or no guest parking. So pretty much guest we’re not welcomed. Wasn’t sure if this is their policy all the time or just because it was the Fourth of July weekend.
Ok stay and the price was right for area. Probably would not stay there again mostly because of the shower and the refrigerator.

Save your money!!

If you plan on visiting family close to Lauderdale by the sea, I highly recommend staying somewhere else. The lady at the front desk will watch you closely to make sure no family visits you. My mother came to visit us and see her grandchildren and the lady said there is a strict no visitors policy and she had to leave right away. Our room had NO A/C in the middle of Florida’s summer heat. My children had to sleep in underwear because they were drenched in sweat. I mentioned it to the lady when I was leaving the next Day and she said “well it doesn’t really matter now because you’re leaving anyway”. I couldn’t believe her response. The pool is filthy to the point where my 7 year old grabbed the pool cleaner to try and get some of the filth out of it. This place is not worth it at all.

Lots of eating options in walking or driving distance. Walking distance for the beach. You had to pay to walk on the boardwalk. The place is older. We did go without water for 2 hours. Outlets were a premium. Hard to find. The coffee maker didn’t work so they brought us a portable. They had a power strip inside the dresser drawer in the front room. The also had a power strip hanging from the fridge that was over t to he kitchsink. The mattress in the main bedroom was really firm and the blankets were comfortable.

Great Motel

We really enjoyed our stay at the Breakaway Inn. The room was clean, comfortable and well appointed with a full kitchen. It is about a 5 minute walk to the beach and the downtown area with lots of good restaurants, and less than a half mile walk or drive to a Publix grocery store. We grilled out a couple of nights and enjoyed breakfast every morning sitting outside our room. We were able to park the car and have a great time! The owners of the property live on site and were very nice and accommodating. We'll definitely be back!

Very good value. Besides being on a quiet street, away from the busyness of A1A - Ocean Drive, there is a full kitchen in every room. Very convenient location, a short walk to the beach.

Nice apartment close to the beach

We rent a one bedroom apartment with our two young children (2 and 5) and the place was perfect for us : swimming pool, barbecue and picnic tables on the property; beach, supermarket and shops within walking distance (5 to 10 minutes with the kids) and all you need to rest and play on the beach is at your disposal (umbrellas, chairs, toys). The apartment was spacious enough for the four of us, clean and comfortable (with all the basics to cook). A nice park with swings, slides, a basketball field and tennis courts is just accross the street, which was pretty cool because we could go as soon as the kids were getting too excited and noisy. We highly recommand this place to any family who wants to spend a relaxing week on the coast! Lauderdale-by-the-sea is not too touristic and much more affordable than Miami or Fort-Lauderdale.

A Delight

The Breakaway Inn was a wonderful place to stay. Margaret went above and beyond. She responded quickly and complied with everything we requested. The room was a little small but it was comfortable. And everything you would need is within walking distance. You have to check out the shopping strip by the beach! We will definately return!

Close to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea shopping, dining

We love staying here. This is our third time. Each room has a full kitchen. Margaret is very kind and friendly. There are even two cats that live on property to love on if you are missing your pets at home. Easily walk to the restaurants and shops in the area and the beach. You won't regret staying here!

Great Hotel, cannot wait to return.

Had a really lovely time at this hotel. The owner Margaret and her husband were always on hand to answer any questions we had, they were really good hosts. The hotel is close to the beach of Lauderdale by the Sea & the pubs and restaurants. This is a lovely little seaside location and perfect for a relaxing holiday experience. The hotel was very clean and the beds are the most comfortable I have slept in any hotel. We will recommend this hotel to friends and family and cannot wait to return.

Just returned feeling very relaxed!!!
We had a wonderful time, everything was just right , from the clean, well equipped accommodation,to the relaxed atmosphere and surroundings.
An extremely well run, well loved and well cared for motel, which reflected in the fact that everyone we met and spoke to rated the Owner's very highly and were all repeat Guests.
Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a nice retreat from their busy, noisy, stressful,normal everyday Lives !!!

Not for the Young at Heart!

My stay at the Inn was okay. When I rent a room regardless of who is around I don't like to be told to be quiet. I am middle aged and know how to behave. If the Rentals are for elderly only they should be advertised this way, and owners were quite nice. I left the property everyday and went around Florida there is a lot to see.

Just like home !!!

We stayed in the one-bedroom apartment and it was great. The whole place was super clean and offered all the amenities listed. The owners were availables at all time and invited us to feel like home. Beach chairs, beach towels and other beach stuff were there for the guests to use for a day or for the whole stay. We recommand the Breakaway Inn for a cozy and sunny stay at that beautiful place: Lauderdale-by-the-sea !!! Can't wait to come back !

A great stay a the Breakaway Inn!

We stayed at the Breakaway Inn for 5 days during the last week of July. Lauderdale by the Sea is a quiet little seaside town, without all the hustle and bustle that you'd get in the Fort Lauderdale beach area. This suited us just fine, as we were looking for a quiet location. Our accommodation was just as described, very clean and spacious. The room had all the amenities one expects, with its own kitchenette and full-size fridge. As we were on the ground floor, our designated parking spot and car were conveniently just a few steps away. The beach was also very close, within a 5 minute walk from the motel, which is exactly what we were looking for. The area has many restaurants, bars and shops, all within walking distance. Margaret was a gracious hostess, and very knowledgeable, and supplied us with brochures and maps outlining things to do in the area. I have nothing but good things to say about this motel and its owner, and we will definitely stay there again next time we plan a trip to Fort Lauderdale. Margaret, thanks so much for a wonderful experience!

Relaxing and quiet

We had a great time in Lauderdale by the Sea. I loved the location of this hotel. It is quiet, but close to everything. It is an easy walk to the ocean, the main strip of stores and restaurants and a quick drive to the Fort Lauderdale beach area and attractions.

The hotel is clean and the staff and people are friendly and helpful. It is an older building, but suited are needs. The full kitchen is a great thing as we went to a nearby grocery store (also very close to the hotel) and stocked up on our first day. This saved us a lot of money with meals. Also, the kitchen has everything you need down to a bottle opener! So convenient.

Water pressure was great, the pool was nice and the grounds were pretty. Also, for kids, beach toys available for use. Towels, umbrellas...also free for borrowing.

For the price in this area, this is a great bargain!
