Good location and friendly owners

Dee Jay Beach resort is a great place to stay in Lauderdale by the Sea. Not only us it in a great location, our efficiency was comfortable and roomy. The owner was on site and attended to any needs we had. The backyard was a nice respite from the hectic travel and had a pool and lounge chairs to relax and rest. There was a shopping plaza a short distance away, which housed a super market, a diner, and so much more. A short drive, led us to a great area with lots of restaurants and shops. We would stay again the next time we go to that area.

This is a quiet establishment. The rooms were comfortable with a well stocked kitchen and had on site laundry. Short walk to beach with chairs and towels available. Shopping and restaurants were nearby. There was construction in one of the buildings which impacted the pool at certain times of the day.

I enjoy staying at the Dee Jay beach resort apartments. The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. The property management Marissa is amazing, she helps make your stay warm & welcoming. This location is walking distance from wonderful local bars & restaurants and across the street from the ocean. Highly recommended.

Great Location

Maria and Marissa are the best. They made our stay very enjoyable. The property does need updated but they are working on it. Despite the update, the rooms are big and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay there and the location is perfect. Steps from the beach and a short walk to shops and restaurants.

Needs a lot

Hate leaving bad reviews but wish I had read this before I booked!! Hotel was not at all as pictured. One of the buildings was boarded up, pool area was filthy room was very dated and in need of repairs and renovation. However the location was perfect to beach and nightlife. If the hotel is updated and repaired we would definitely give it another try.
