The DeSoto is conveniently located to South Beach, Fort Lauderdale and all major Florida attractions. From world-class shopping, major sporting events, casinos, international cultural activities, fine-dining, dancing and nightlife, we're near it all. For the eco-tourist, The DeSoto is nestled on a barrier island in the middle of the South's largest mangrove preserve. Neighboring Anne Kolb Nature Center provides a glimpse into Florida's eco-system, offering kayaking, boat tours and hiking for free or at very nominal prices. The Everglade is only a short distance away, where you can see the endangered Florida panther and alligators sunning along your path to this spectacular destination. A small, personalized inn, surrounded by parks and the Atlantic, the Award-winning DeSoto Oceanview Inn offers comfortable accommodations in a lush, tropical environment, just footsteps from the ocean. Choose from studios or efficiencies all upgraded to meet the most discerning traveler's needs. Re-discover the essence of simple pleasures in a unique setting of lush gardens and azure seas. Built in 1953, the caringly restored and well-maintained inn features cozy studios and spacious efficiencies situated along a bougainvillea-shaded veranda. You may also choose to indulge yourself with romantic dinners under the Polynesian-inspired gazebos, or simply relax under swaying palm trees. It's easy to see the location offers something for everyone, but most importantly, the quiet charm and warm DeSoto hospitality completes a holiday to remember in the warm sub-tropical climate of South Florida.
