This is an old Florida property that is really charming. The rooms are nice and well stocked with kitchen items for eating and cooking. The view is the best. You can sit on waterfront area and watch beautiful boats and yachts pass by and is really a nice view being right on the water. The pool is heated and there is a grill for cooking. It’s just really a nice place. No crowds like in a large hotel and affordable.

Awesome relaxing trip! Very quiet area Away from the “hub bub” yet only a 5 minute walk to the beach! Great exchange for the beautiful views of the all the yachts and boats on the waterway Lots of outdoor space to enjoy. The building is older but very tastefully updated and clean. We had apt 29.

Terrific place to stay
My daughter and I found Holiday Isle Yacht Club comfortable, clean, quiet and pleasantly different than a hotel "room." The units are serviced apartments. The grounds are beautiful and well-kept. The property is located on the intercoastal waterway with plenty of room for sunning oneself, catching a water taxi or grilling out. There are different sized apartments. I did not like to have to pay to park. The cost is $10 a day. The walk to the beach is seven-tenths of a mile. Great exercise and allows for a quieter surrounding by not being located on the beach.

On the Intercoastal. Short walk to the beach.Quiet
Love this spot. Quiet location and venue. Walk to all Ft. Lauderdale has to offer. Located in North Beach Village. Short walk to beach. Units supply beach towels and chairs and umbrella's. Each unit is different. Some are fancier ($$) than others. Clean towels every other day. Staff very responsive. Peaceful and restful vacation spot. We vist each year. We love being in the Intercoastal to relax and watch the sunset. They also have a lovely pool and use of grills. On-site laundry facilities also available.

We had a wonderful stay, would definitely be staying here again. We booked a one bedroom with full kitchen. A/C worked well, very comfortable, and clean. We enjoyed drinking a beer and looking over the canal in the hotel's grounds. Be aware, the office has specific hours for checking in. Consider giving them a phone call prior to your visit to ensure they will be open when you arrive.

This is a fantastic, little, low key hotel in a very convenient location. We were in apartment 12, which was a spotless clean one bedroom with a king bed in the bedroom and n large leather sofa bed in the living room. Also had an updated modern kitchen, beach chairs, umbrellas, utelsils and dishes. Really awesome. Great staff too. I will be back for sure. Deidre, stayed there 8/20 for a week.

Nice but more Reception needed.
This is a pleasant, simple water-side apartment-hotel - nothing fancy. Kitchens are very well-equipped. Rooms are large. My only quibble is that Reception closes at 2.00. There isn't always someone there during opening hours. The one time I called the number after-hours, I got no answer.

The hotel is located right on the causeway and boats go through. It's beautiful. The service was warm and friendly. The staff let us check in hours early and hours late, and were extremely accommodating. The pool area is very nice and the rooms are essentially suites.

Quiet & relaxing accommodation on the intercoastal
Just back from a lovely two week break for Christmas and New Year 2014/2015 at the HIYC. The apartment was very comfortable with every convenience that you would associate with home. The grounds are well kept and the swimming pool is heated. There are two sun decks that overlook the intercoastal and watching the super boats go by whilst sipping a glass of wine is very relaxing and just makes you think what a great location the HIYC has.

# 4 terrible ~ stay in other room
The room # 4 was dirty/old/ worn out tub/towels and sheets pillow with stains and hair - pros: spacious rooms/kitchen all what you need.- CONS: cleanliness is most important to me and I was very disappointed - during weekends there is no housekeeper - NOT ALL THE ROOOMS ARE THE SAME (we saw through window better ones) so talk to the manager (lady who is very pleasant) before you go to find out what you"ll get!

Nice!
off the miain drag but only a 5 Min walk to the ocean. Lots of European families and middle aged couples. Nice grounds and pool. On the causeway so u can see the water on the deck or by the pool. Staff was very pleasant and everything clean. This is a condo type lodging so the rooms vary in décor and updating. Ours was older with the bathroom and bedroom very 60s with a need for a little bit of attention ie grouting,,tiub very old and bedroom blinds and furniture very old. Otherwise it is a nice place but u will need a car or like to walk to get to things. Manager was very welcoming and the area is very quiet for good relaxing or sleeping. Have fun in the sun!

Excellent hotel
Holiday Isle was just great - the condo, the gardens, the location we loved it. Our condo overlooked the pool and we were side on to the inland waterway so we could sit outside our door and see the yachts sail by. The standard of cleaning was fairly good but I could have give it a good going over (I am really fussy), the main areas - kitchen and bathroom were very clean so no probs. The Manager, Jocelyn was really approachable and did everything she could to make our stay even better, the cleaner was also very helpful and kept leaving us lots of clean towels, we enjoyed it so much we extended our stay. The gardens were very well kept, the gardeners were there twice in the 10 days we were there. It was quiet and very relaxing and only a 5 min walk to the beach.

A hidden gem in Fort Laurderdale
We had little exposure to hotel staff. The place is a bit old but a great location right on the intercoastal waterway. The kitchen was well supplied. A full day on the water taxi which picked us up & dropped us off at the hotel was the highlight of our entire week in Florida. It was not crowded, but we meet several pleasant travelors while there. Actually, compared with an earlier stay at a fancy Marriott on Singer Island, we had a better time here.

Satisfied
The Holiday Isle Yacht Club fulfilled all our expectations with regard to price and location. The suite has obviously had a makeover since first constructed and this has made it homely with modern decor and appliances. It was clean and tidy. The outdoor appearance of the complex is pleasing with the landscaped grounds neat and well maintained. The office staff were very helpful. We were able to walk to the beachfront and it was not far either north or south to restaurants and some shops, but a drive to the supermarket. A bonus was being able to walk to the nearby State Park which affords an oasis of untouched nature in the middle of the concrete jungle. We found it a straightforward drive from the airport and parking was by issued permit right out the front.

Horrible bathroom
The bathroom had a drain in one corner with ashower curtain around it. The shower head was a removeable one attached to a bracket on the wall. Impossible to take a shower without flooding the bathroom floor. Rooms were very plain without many ammenities. Primarily used by "snow birds" so it was very quiet and did have a nice pool and deck overlooking the intracoastal. It is actually a 50's or 60's apartment complex. Came home one day at lunch and the maid had left a key in my door but had just gone off to do something and left the door open. Office hours are 9:00 to 2:00 but check in is not until 2:00. They leave a sign on the office door telling you which apt. you are in and leave a key on the table. Don't expect help if you have a problem after 2:00. Not real convenient to stores or restaurants.
