Rachel United States of America

Great location for those not trying to be in “the scene” but still have it accessible.

Sarah United States of America

Staff were great and cafe/bar and pool area were all pretty and inviting. Everything was scrupulously clean and room was huge.

Bonnie United States of America

The Local House does the boutique hotel experience really well. Excellent design, unique amenities, and great brunch menu. The staff were really kind. Love the high ceilings in the rooms, and the partial ocean views. I would definitely stay here again. So close to the beach! Close enough to strip to get there in 5 minutes via walking but far enough where you don't have the noise when trying to sleep at night.

Wendy United States of America

The room was lovely, nice colors, beautiful bathroom and we splurged on a large terrace but be aware there are a lot of trees at the same height so you may be looking directly at a tree. A big surprise was the restaurant downstairs, it was great, particularly for breakfast and lunch. The ocean is only a block away and it’s nice.There are great walking paths near the ocean and a park, great for people watching. You can’t see the ocean from the hotel.

Maureen United States of America

Literally everything was wonderful! Friendly staff at check in, cutest pool that was not crowded at all. Yummy food at the restaurant. We can’t wait to be back!!

Dana United States of America

great location close to all but not near the noise of ocean drive which provide great nights sleep

Christine United States of America

The location was great, right across from the beach. The restaurant was amazing!

Sandee United States of America

The location is unbeatable, the staff is super friendly/helpful ( despite wishing everyone mask - no one was)

    Parking is elsewhere, and we only have valet or street parking available for our guests. I don't think it can fit, but we can definitely find an alternative for you. What dates were you interested in booking, and what type of room are you looking for

    The beach is a walk across the street from our hotel, so a shuttle isn't necessary. If you would like to visit parts of the beach that are further down the coast, we would recommend an Uber or taxi. We also offer free bicycle rentals, included with your hotel stay.
