The Native Sun - Resort hotel in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea - 1950 S Ocean Blvd, USA

THE NATIVE SUN AUGUST 1984-2022 I had the great pleasure of being born into these waters. The pool and the ocean were where I learned to swim. I was baptized right down the road at the place where my Mom and Dad were married. Our family didn't always have the most money to spend, so this was the best place. It's a safe place for families, and has nice grocery stores right down the road should one like to buy groceries and cook in the kitchen or on the grills located outside. There are also nice piers nearby within walking distance. Free trolley will take you around the loop should you like to see the public beaches. There are also fun rentals nearby should you like to boat, surf, or play other FUN ocean games. It is still currently located on a private ocean. They had to undergo a 40-year review recently and passed the test with multiple updates. SAFTEY NOTES: AGAIN FOR EMPHASIS: It's a private ocean. NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY. One of my Uncles was 2nd place runner-up for Firefighter of the year for his excellent display of bravery and courage off-duty to save a drowning man who was trying to save his little girl. I was very fortunate to have been trained by him. If you're unsure of the ocean (and especially with children in tow), it's highly recommended to not go out too far and never past the buoys. The ocean will always win in a treading contest. She will take you under. NOT PICTURED: Family. Because I don't like to post pictures of children.

Our kitchen and appliances were new. The room was “freshened up” a few times during the week with new towels, trash taken out, etc. The king size bed was comfortable. Beach chairs were available for use, which was great since we flew there. The view from the balcony was great!!

Beautiful, spacious apartments overlooking ocean. Superb double balconies, tennis, shuffleboard, mini golf, pool and jacuzzi. Home from home atmosphere. Stunning

Right on the beach. They provide lawn chairs to drag closer to the water. Calm and clear ocean. Great for swimming. Good parking on site. Safe and secure. Lots of families with children enjoying themselves. Mattress needs to be replaced and had a few other maintenance issues to be addressed. Management informed. Quiet nights.

Very comfortable condo with fantastic ocean views and nice amenities. Well stocked kitchen items. Separate Bedroom with king bed. Huge double balconies. Nice pool and beach areas with lounge chairs. Laundry available. Pool towels supplied. Couldn't ask for a better vacation!

Great place to be with family. Like the more boutique feel more Than high rise hotels

Tried to get reviews of this place before I booked and before we arrived, but could not find anything except for folks saying it was very clean. We were in unit 304 the view and the balcony and location was great. The furniture in the living room was just nasty. The white cloth chair had spots and nasty stains all over it. The couch was old and just not clean. The brown chair was suede and had white crusty stains all over it. This was the holiday week and everything was booked. We had to put sheets over the furniture so we could sit down. The brown suede chair was so nasty we would have NEVER sat in it. We just couldn't get over the fact that we had booked an extraordinarily nasty condo with RCI using 23 points. I rent condo's in Hawaii for 23 points that are NOTHING like this. We were just sick that we had to stay in a place like this. The bed was old, but ok to sleep in. one bathroom was remodeled and ok. The other bathroom was old and we didn't use it. The kitchen was well stocked just very old. The chairs for the dining room were plastic so they could be disinfected and ok to sit in. The staff was aware of the rundown condition including the nasty furniture, but they just work there. They can't do anything about the condition of this place. STAY AWAY.
