It is a very nice, well maintained property about a half block from Wilton Drive. It is a bed-and breakfast style house with three guest rooms that open to the pool area and the owner lives on-site. There is one parking space for each room right in front of the house. The room I was in was very clean and quiet with a flat screen TV, coffee machine, microwave and a refrigerator that was well stocked with beverages. There were also snacks and supplies in a drawer. The bed was very comfortable. The safe in the room was very convenient-I liked being to able to store important items there and not have to bring them out with me to the bars. There is a very modern, clean and well stocked private bathroom with a spacious shower. The property's separate breakfast room is well stocked with many different items (muffins, bagels, fruit, cereals, snacks, drinks) and a toaster, microwave, coffee and espresso machines and several drawers filled with supplies and utensils. The pool area was very clean and well kept. I would definitely stay here again on a future visit to Wilton Manors.

Excellent Stay in Central WM
The owner was very friendly and provided a thorough tour of the property upon arrival. The breakfast bar, pool area, and rooms are well-stocked with all amenities - I was not expecting everything he did have (chairs, towels, and umbrellas for the beach, a lot of sunscreen and bug spray, fridges full of beverages, etc.). I stayed mid-week, so my first night was by myself on the property, while another couple joined the next night. In any event, there were no disturbances and everything was quiet and peaceful. The owner made many strides towards making the stay comfortable and accommodating. Excellent location - short walk to the bars and restaurants but quiet at night. Would definitely go again.

Thanks so much for your feedback. I purposely targeted the area because of the convenience and remodeled to create this property. It is very convenient to everything. Most guests don't even rent a car because most everything is within walking distance or a short Uber/Lyft ride. Please spread the word

Great week to be in Wilton manors !
I really enjoyed my stay at this B&B. It was quiet peaceful and relaxing. The owner (Doug) was awesome. He was always accessible and very friendly and knowledgeable. The other guest was very friendly and I enjoyed meeting him and hanging out with him. The location was very convenient and was walking distance to many restaurants and night life venues. I highly recommend this guest house !

Spectacular and extremely exceptional experience!
Doug was an excellent and impressive host that operates an incredible, very inviting, comfortable and unique resort experience. He put a lot of thought and effort into creating this little B&B for everyone to experience. We were only there for the first few days in the area and all we could think of was that we wished we had booked it for our entire stay. This was probably our absolute best find and if you don’t experience it, you will truly be missing out. We felt like we were right at home and the cherry on top of it all was we felt we made a new friend. Definitely will be back!

Perfect place for a relaxed stay in Wilton Manors
This boutique style inn is a gem in Wilton Manor. We were warmly received by the owner Doug, who waited for us until midnight after our arrival to MIA. The property is a beautiful brand new house, with beautiful landscape and a very nice warm pool. Rooms are very comfortable, equiped with all you may need. Doug has paid attention to all details. A shared snack area stocked with all you may need, yes, ALL. The environment is relaxed and safe, perfect for our pre-honeymoon. We were greatly impressed. Highly recommended.
