Guest Reviews
- lynne (10/5): - Apartment was clean and great access to the beach and dining options
- MARK (10/5): - Great location. Eva and her staff are amazing !
- Özlem (10/5): - Wir sind unglaublich zufrieden gewesen im Sea Cliff. Es war perfekt für uns mit unseren beiden kleinen Kindern. Genug Platz, ausgestattete Küche, der Parkplatz vor der Tür und direkt gegenüber dem wundervollen Strand waren Gründe für uns zu buchen. Sehr sehr familienfreundlich! Unsere Kinder fanden es auch sehr entspannt im Sea Cliff. Würden wir immer wieder buchen.
- The Phuong (10/5): - We had a very good experience at the Sea Cliff. The room was very clean and the place was very close to the beach (just a 1-2 min walk to the beach). The room was all equipped with everything you could need and they also can lend you all the equipment you need for the beach (chairs, umbrellas, floaties, cooler, etc). Eva the owner was super nice and understanding. We had to cut our trip short of 2 days because my wife was not feeling well and Eva didn't charge us for those days and even called us a few days later to ask how my wife was doing. Highly recommend this place and will definitely come back!
- Kate (10/5): - Can’t say enough great things about the Sea Cliff. The location is great, right across the street from the beach and walking distance to restaurants and shops. Rooms are very clean and large, more like one bedroom apartments, with comfortable beds. Pool and pool area is clean and the pool is heated. Eva and the rest of the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Love the old school vibe of the hotel. Have stayed here before and will definitely be back. Highly recommend staying at the Sea Cliff when in Fort Lauderdale.
- Phil (10/5): Charming Motel - Our stay at the Sea Cliff Motel was wonderful. The location is perfect (a few yards away from the beach) and the suite was very comfortable. We enjoyed the kitchen and living room area. The space is more like an apartment than a motel room. The staff were very helpful and seemed to genuinely love their jobs. The pool was clean and we look forward to returning.
- Javier (8/5): Excelente lugar, zona y servicio!! - Excelente lugar. El hotel es sencillo, muy limpio, los departamentos con buen espacio y amplios muy bien equipados. Cocina utensilios y muebles. Lo unico que pudo ser mejor es el confort del sofacama. Por lo demas Excelente todo. LISA que atiende y hace la limpieza es muy buena y siempre atenta a lo que necesitemos. EVA la.manager muy amable tambien. El lugar esta a pasos de una hermosa playa, zona tranquila segura y familiar. En el.hotel te facilitan sombrillas, asientos de playa y hasta juguetes para los niños. El hotel esta a dos cuadras de la.zona comercial, hay lavanderias, farmacias, supermercado, bares, panaderías , restaurantes muy cerca. No dudariamos en regresar!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We would definitely stay here again! Everything was very clean and well maintained. The staff was amazing and went out of their way to be helpful and kind.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone that will listen.
- Michelle (10/5): - Very clean, very safe. Beautiful view from our private patio. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Right across the street from beach. Very friendly staff.
- John (10/5): Loved our stay - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sea Cliff hotel. Eva, the onsite property manager was a gracious host. My wife and I were surprised at how nice and clean the rooms were. The hotel is across the street from the beach and we will definitely stay there when we go back to Lauderdale By The Sea
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I cannot say enough good things about our stay at The Sea Cliff. The staff was so friendly and made us feel like part of the family. It was quiet and lovely and in a great location, not even a full block off the beach. Will absolutely stay here again.
- Kris (10/5): Love the Sea Cliff - Love the Sea Cliff!! Eva who runs the place is super nice and accommodating. It’s clean & has all the amenities. the bed is comfy with nice pillows & sheets. The pool is heated. Only 1/2 block to the beach. I’ll definitely be back. Great family place close to many bars & restaurants.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect Vacation Spot - Wonderful vacation . The Sea Cliff was the perfect place to stay . Great location , very clean and the beds were so comfortable. Eva is so helpful with everything . The hotel also has all your needs for the beach . We definitely are going to stay there next year !
- noreen (10/5): Loved our stay!! - Our stay was great at Sea Cliff. The room was clean, well kept. Eva was accomodating. Vinny was available when we needed towels, soap, etc...The appliances worked well, there were plates, bowls, cooking utensils, pots/pans. There is even a gas grill on-site. The pool was clean and a great temperature, we were in it every night. The ocean was a block away, very convenient to the motel. The motel was close to town, within walking distance. There is a laundromat two blocks away. The atmosphere of the motel was family friendly. We look forward to our next stay there.
Thank you!!!
- Joseph (10/5): - Had a great time beautiful spot ocean view also enjoyed the pool
Joe & Saeeda
- Kevin (10/5): Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. - Great owner and staff. Attentive to guests, but not intrusive. We have stayed here before and returned because the fifty-year old motel has a certain charm that is lacking today in many modern and larger establishments. This is a modest property within easy walking distance to many restaurants, the pier and is across the street from the beach. The tile floors in the room however would benefit from a good cleaning.
- ANGELA (10/5): Great place to stay!!!! - Quiet hotel directly across from beach. In walking distance to restaurants, shops and night life. Great area for families. Hotel is very clean and management is extremely friendly. Beach chairs umbrellas floats available to use. All rooms are like one bedroom apartments with kitchen. Pull out sofas and TVs in both rooms.
- Maria (10/5): - Underbart ställe och fantastisk personal. Skulle gärna åka dit igen
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location across beach. Near restaurants, shops and grocery. Loved our stay!
- Rikke (10/5): Skønt sted - Fantastisk beliggenhed med caféer, butikker og restauranter i gå afstand fra motellet. Eva The maneger er utrolig sød og imødekommende. Dejlig lille pool og masser af pool og strandting til fri afbenyttelse
Vi kommer gerne igen
- Leon (10/5): Very Convenient and Nice Resort - The Sea Cliff Resort is right across the street from one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. It is in a quiet area yet near several good restaurants near the pier. I work for a hospital and the first thing I look for is a clean room and our room was very clean. Who ever designed the building did a great job as each room has a separate bedroom (very comfortable beds) and nice bathroom and kitchen (well furnished) and quality hotel furniture with a larger than usual flat screen tv in the living room and another tv in the bedroom. Eva was great and manages the property well. She also can recommend restaurants and things to do in the area. Linens and towels looked new. I am getting a little older and the area was safe, quiet, yet had everything anyone could need. Very good swimming pool. Guests were even friendly. Also we paid the price quoted plus tax, there was not a string of "extras" added to the bill - very nice. Very good experience and plan to return.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Hotel in Strandnähe - Kleines feines Hotel in absoluter Top Lage. Zum Strand sind es nur wenige Schritte. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Meerblick was absolut zu empfehlen ist. Die Angestellten sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub
- Verified traveler (6/5): Needs to be a smoke-free environment - Great location across from the beach. Small pool area. Unfortunately, smoking was permitted and most guests were smokers, sitting outside on the patio and in pool area to smoke.
- Kimberly (8/5): Nice 1 bedroom - Nice location, one block from beach. Can see part of ocean from the pool deck. Pool seemed heated and many chairs. King bed was actually two twins pushed together. Outlet in kitchen was sparking so we took the microwave and toaster into our bedroom. Cute hotel... friendly. No bugs. Thin walls, can hear people upstairs using the bathroom.
- Debby Nitka (10/5): Totally Happy !! - Our stay was incredibly pleasant and we will most definitely stay there again!
- Nadia (10/5): Pleasant - Motel was clean,comfortable and close to the beach.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice quaint Lil motel if you want nice peaceful pl - This quaint little Motel convenient to the beach and pool if you don't want to go deal with the Sand. The staff is fabulous and people there are inviting highly recommend this place if you want the convenience of a quiet little place
- Joanne (10/5): Excellent stay - My husband and I were very happy staying at the Sea Cliff. The rooms were like new and quite spacious. Very comfortable all around. Loved the king bed! Our room, #201, had a small sun deck outside which turned out to be a blessing as the wind off the ocean made it too uncomfortable to be on the beach. Eva, the manager, was as terrific as all the reviews state. She made sure we were happy and had everything we needed. I loved that there are beach chairs to use, beach umbrellas, towels and even a cooler if you needed one. Many pool toys too. Easy walk to the little town square with stores and restaurants. We enjoyed the 101. Good food and excellent service. All around great experience and we'll happily return.
- John.B (10/5): - Great location, near everything, always maintained, remember when I live near by for decade.
- Matt (10/5): Sea Cliff - Clean room, friendly staff. I definitely plan to stay again.
- Jennifer (10/5): - VERY CLEAN, ENJOYABLE STAY LOTS TO DO IN THE AREA
- Verified traveler (10/5): Short visit in Sept 2017 - Great Location, Great Friendly staff
- Mary (8/5): Casual motel close to the beach - Very surprised upon arriving. Very small casual motel. Room was a great size with seperate bedroom. Walk right across the street to the beach. If you don't need anything fancy this is a great choice for the price. Plan on returning again!
- Geraint (10/5): Florida vacation - Excellent facility with attentive management
- brandon (10/5): Rogo's I - My stay at the sea cliff motel was very relaxing and enjoyable. It was clean and quiet. Friendly staff. Very close (walking distance) to eateries, bars, and shopping. Of course a sea shell throw away from the beach.
- ian (10/5): Much fun in the sun (& hotel too!) - A great place to stay. The rooms are large, clean and fully furnished, the heated pool great for a quick dip and the location is perfect: Park outside for free and walk the 50m to the beautiful beach. Eva will let you know where to go to eat, but we can recommend both the organic beach bar and the Aruba beach bar. But best of all, take an uber or cab ($10) to the funky Buddha brewery for great craft beer and food.
- WILLIAM (10/5): - Very nice older Florida beach hotel. Has had refurbishing which made it look better than others. Very nice, accommodating staff. Really like the location within walking distance to the pier and local eateries, stores. Enjoyed and recommend it to others.
- John (10/5): Weekend getaway - I enjoyed this quick weekend getaway and my stay at the Sea Cliff motel. Good location with convenient access to the beach and the center of town. Affordable, clean room and the management is very helpful and accommodating.
- David (8/5): Great little resort - We had a great 2 days here Eva the manager was very friendly and helpful the resort is being upgraded as I right this and the finished rooms have been updated to a high standard, its location is perfect for the beach and the shops bars and restaurants all within a short walk
- stacy (8/5): Spacious and close to the beach - Great place! Staff was extremely friendly, apartment was spacious, and we had ocean views from the balcony. A/C worked great. We were able to make meals in the kitchen too which was so nice. Cable was spotty but who goes to the beach to watch TV?
- Verified traveler (10/5): nice hotel close to the beach - very happy to have found this little gem! close to the beach, shopping, dining and entertainment! the room was very nice and clean! comfortable beds and great A/C. Eva the manager is awesome! she is on point with everything!! i will be back for sure!!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Repeat Happy Customer - This was our second stay at the Cliff Motel. The motel is centrally located, just blocks from so nice restaurants. The motel is situate just across from the beach. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, also the manager is very accommodating. All the rooms have a small kitchen that comes with all your needs.
- t n t (10/5): Lauderdale by the sea - More than satisfied, very personable manager and friendly staff, rooms clean, large, comfortable and well equipped . Nice pool and to our surprise a gas grill that we used making it very nice to grill eat in our room and and celebrate our anniversary . Highly recommend . We hope to return
- Sandi (10/5): WILL GO AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN..... - Perfect location for our stay-cation. Beautiful view of the beach even though the property is across the small street. Great outdoor area with a pool and grill. Pool toys, beach towels, beach chairs available for use. Eva is the property manager and went above and beyond making our visit was perfect.
- Judith (2/5): Don't bring your kids here - After staying here for about 15 years, I just checked out 5 days early and went to a another motel. This should be listed as an adults only location because it is not family oriented. First of all, there were people drinking, out of glass bottles, mind you, in the middle of the day! And they had their children with them! The bottles were left on the side of the pool so the father could drink it while he was in there. Then, we went to the beach, hoping to be able to use the pool when we got back, but when we returned, mid afternoon, there were a bunch of adults in and around the pool drinking out of red solo cups. The owner stated to me that they have always allowed that and that it was OK as long as they weren't getting drunk. I have never seen this behavior before. I could understand if it was at night, when the kids are out of the pool but not during the day. So, in reality this has become a party motel. Sad
- Carole (10/5): Had a Great Stay! - Had a great say. Eva was extremely accommodating and attentive to your needs. The room was clean. Bed was extremely comfortable. Kitchen was adequately furnished.
- Carlos (10/5): - Great little spot
