“Great review...12 years late!”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

I had to select a date, but July 2001 was not available! That's when I stayed at the then-named Sea Grape Motel, on a solo trip one summer. I absolutely loved the beach atmosphere of this place, the proximity to the beach, and the large room for the great price. I felt very safe there, and even did something I... More

Thank you for such a wonderful review! I hope we will get the chance to meet, and that you will become an annual guest of South Beach Inn. It still has the beach ambiance. It's still the same great place - very unique and laid back - generally quiet. We are currently installing blackout drapes and pillowtops to the mattresses.... More

This Inn is the best on the Island, user friendly, pet friendly and people friendly. a block from the beach and surroundings are beautiful with tropical setting.

“Enjoyed our stay”

Reviewed 14 February 2013

We stayed the month of January at Saida Towers and were very unhappy there. Nice place but the employees there were rude and went out of their way to hassle us. We paid a fortune at Saida and they were to be dog friendly, but, were not. We stayed at the South Beach Inn for the month of February and... More

“Perfect trip”

Reviewed 11 February 2013

This is not a place for a luxury stay but a place where you can feel the beach lifestyle for what it is. laid back and easy going! My family and I loved the proximity to the beach, the pool and the neighbors. The furniture was a little dated and the kitchen set-up didn't match, but that added to the... More

Thank you for a great review! Honest and direct. We love our return guests! Some are like family. We appreciate the truth in your review. Things are dated. Our hotel was built in 1961, and things are old. But it's clean, close to the beach, and economical. More

“DO NOT STAY HERE!”

Reviewed 5 September 2012

The only thing good about this property was the location, it is one block from the beach! The worst things about this inn was the outdoor lights that shined through the window all night long (no drapes to block out the security lights) made it seem like daytime, all night. No shampoo, no hair dryer, had to rent dishes. No... More

One of the greatest things about South Beach Inn is its proximity to the beach. We are just a half block away. It's a very short walk, even shorter than from some of the beach-front hotels. As we explain on our website, we do not supply kitchen items, but the room has a full kitchen, and you are welcome to... More

“You get what you pay for.. inexpensive room”

Reviewed 3 September 2012 via mobile

For the weekend, there was a 3 night minimum stay. I'm not sure if that rule applies every weekend or the holiday. The rooms were okay at best. There weren't any pictures or anything to cover up the plain cinder block walls. Like the other reviewers stated, the bed was horrible. Pack some pain medicine for your back pains in... More

Thank you for your candid review. South Beach Inn is a small hotel - only 12 rooms. We offer an economical and fun getaway for the budget-minded traveler. Our proximity to the beach is one of the greatest things we have to offer, along with our pool. For most holidays we require a 3-night minimum stay. Also, for peak-season summer... More

“Bugs, bugs and more bugs”

Reviewed 21 July 2012

Entered the room and thank god my wife didn't see it. A roach the size of tw male fingers greeted me at the door. Walls/floors are thin so if you are on the bottom floor it sucks to be you. And agree cheep mattresses that made horrible noises all night. Thank god I take ambien to force me to sleep.

Welcome to the tropics! One of our main critters here is the "Palmetto Bug." It is completely harmless and lives in the outside vegetation all around us. And yes, they do come in. The rain in early July has brought out more bugs than usual, and we have in turn exterminated more heavily. Our Inn is exterminated on a monthly... More

“Mostly Great!”

Reviewed 6 July 2012

We really enjoyed our stay at South Beach Inn...except for one, rather large detail - the mattresses are terrible! After the first night, knowing we would be staying for another 4 nights, we drove to the nearest Walmart and bought a mattress pad. It took the edge off, but we still woke up every morning with neck and back aches.... More

Our beds are Sealy Hotel-quality beds which get replaced about every 3 years. We replaced all of the pillows this year. We will take this new information into consideration before we place our next bed order. Thank you for staying with us! More

“My Back Hurts!!!”

Reviewed 20 June 2012 via mobile

The room was fine. It was fairly clean and close to the beach. We liked having the kitchen. That saved us a lot of money on meals. The only complaint we have is, the beds are extremely uncomfortable and we woke up every morning with achy backs. Hopefully the owners get better mattresses because we would like to return.

I so wish everything could be perfect here for everyone! Our beds are Sealy hotel-quality beds. They are replaced about every 3 years. In the spring, when we place our next bed order, we will definitely take this new information into consideration. This year we replaced all of our pillows and most of our linens & bedspreads. Please keep in... More

“Nice kitchenette!!”

It's a great place for people who would like to have a kitchenette in their hotel room. The kitchenette in our room looks brand new and works perfectly. Don't forget to bring your own shampoo and conditioner because they only provide soap in the bathroom. There were some ants on the counter and table in the evening. We kind of... More
