Wonderful boutique style hotel
Amazing little boutique style hacienda hotel with a very friendly staff. I arranged to have balloons delivered to the room for my wife’s birthday and Gary at the front desk assisted. It made for a wonderful trip for my wife and me.

The beautiful boutique bed and breakfast had only 12 rooms and an amazing Hacienda style decor in the interior rooms and all surrounding yards and pool. Each room had a full kitchenette. Free parking in front of the property in a quiet safe neighborhood. The owners were friendly and easily available as they live on the property!

I had a recent 4 day / 3 night stay at Blue Seas Courtyard and would 1000% recommend. I have not a single complaint of the property!! The location was great, quiet and relaxing, and very charming. I was in and out alot, so I didn't see Marc but met Christie, who was very sweet and helpful. She showed me around the property when I checked in. I greatly enjoyed and will definitely be staying again!! - Amy

The Blue Seas Courtyard exceeded all my expectations. The owners and staff were extremely welcoming and helpful with anything we needed. The room was clean and comfy. Locations to the beach, restaurants, Publix and CVS was in walking distance. The grounds are well kept and the pool is conveniently outside the room. This will be our annual go to for our annual vacation. It’s a hidden gem ♥️

Nice Stay
This is a small hotel and in our discussions with other guests a very loyal year to year clientele. Pool area is nice with lots of chaise lounges and seating. Pool and area are very clean. We had room #1 which is very small but comfortable. Small refrigerator and stove and utensils. The day to day manager and the lady who takes care of the rooms are very friendly and professional.
We think the greatest asset is location to Lauderdale by the Sea. 5 minute to walk to 10/15 restaurants, ice cream and some shops.

We really enjoyed our 2-week stay. It’s a spectacular property and it is walking distance to restaurants, bars, liquor stores, pharmacies, and grocery stores. We rented a car because we wanted to see Miami, Palm Beach, and drive through the Keys. But many guests don’t rent a car because it isn’t necessary - everything you need is in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea. The beach is only steps away and has amazing white sand. Blue Seas Courtyard offers free beach chairs and umbrella’s for the beach, free bikes, and there is a washer and dryer you can use for a small fee. Guests sit around a central pool playing cards, and chatting with new friends over a drink (or two…). Don’t delay - book your vacation at Blue Seas Courtyard. You won’t regret it.
