The two-and-a-half-pearl Blue Seas Courtyard is a special boutique hotel with just 12 rooms. Situated across the street from quiet Lauderdale-by-the-Sea's beautiful beach, a short walk leads to cafes, shops, entertainment, the pier, and even a grocery store. Modeled after a Mexican hacienda, rooms are charming, bright, and artsy, and have full kitchens plus balconies or patios. The outdoor pool is heated and situated in a lovely courtyard filled with lush tropical plants and colorful pottery. Guests get free Wi-Fi and use of beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas. Travelers can compare rates with the Windjammer Resort, a nearby mid-range apartment-style option, though rooms at the Blue Seas are far more fun.

Windjammer Resort is a small three-pearl property built right on the sandy public beach in Fort Lauderdale. Though the name may lead you to believe this is a full service resort, it's really more akin to apartments on the beach. Divers and snorkelers come here so they can access the reefs just fifty feet from the shoreline. Many families like the hotel because of the two heated outdoor pools, spacious apartment-style rooms with full kitchens, and walking distance proximity to shops and restaurants. There isn't a restaurant on-site or many facilities, though guests can borrow bikes or rent zayak sea sleds to play in the water. If a full-service hotel is more your scene compare rates at the Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel, but you'll lose the great walkable location and kitchens in the rooms.
