The free breakfast menu selection was varied, fresh and filling. The pool and hot tub were both at good temperatures and all the staff were very friendly and obliging.

An outstanding little guest house with the owners being the most helpful, friendly and best hosts ever. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and their continental breakfast hit the spot! We found a little piece of paradise and will definitely return!!
This is a hidden gem. We discovered it a number of years ago and have stayed there every time we visit Fort Lauderdale now.
The owners/hosts are delightful and it is like a little private oasis.

The owners were wonderful, the pool very clean and it was just a very pleasant stay overall!
Such a nice place to spend a few days! The owners are wonderful and we fell in love with their dog, Nina, the cutest French bouledogue we’ve ever seen. Plus, it is a quiet place, not too far from the beach. Just perfect.

Wonderful stay. Owner and staff very friendly. We liked that there are only six rooms, all around the pool. Very quiet and adults only. Pool is heated and the pool and hot tub are very clean. Parking free and right outside the property. Rooms very clean with AC. Highly recommend! Enjoyed our stay. Walkable to beach area.
We love the Coral Reef Guest House. This has become our favorite hotel on the Atlantic. Wayne and Jerome, owner and manager, are more than accommodating. Excellent customer service and an actual feeling of family instead of the cold box hotels. Thanks to Jerome, the rooms are spotlessly cleans, the beds are comfortable and the linens are always snow white. As I often say, Corral Reef may not be the Ritz, but it's better than the Ritz.

A fantastic find
A fantastic guesthouse & hosts. Located in a quiet area but still close enough to walk to the beach. Spacious rooms & comfy beds as well as supplying a continental breakfast each day. The hosts were very friendly & always willing to help. Upon arrival, Russell even took the time out to drive us around the nearby area to show us where local amenities were. Would definitely stay again should we return to the area.

This place is a hidden oasis. It’s charming, quiet, and comfortable but it’s only minutes from Fort Lauderdale beaches and amenities. The manager Chuck is super friendly and welcoming. He made our visit feel special and he couldn’t do enough to accommodate our needs. We would definitely return!

Perfect place, loved it!
Very beautiful property, nice location, everything we needed! Love that's it's adult only, it was very quiet. The only complaint is that there was no coffee. There was a coffee pot, but no coffee or filters for it. We get up early and didn't like having to wait til 8 to get coffee. Everything else was perfect and we will stay again if/when we're in the area! Free parking too!
