We enjoyed our stay, as it was a nice, quiet getaway, walking distance to everything you need. The Publix grocery store was very convenient and we purchased food for breakfast and lunch, then ate out for dinner. This is a budget-friendly location with just a 10 minute walk to the beach which worked great for our 3-night stay. However, keep in mind that this is the economical option. There were exactly two pillows, exactly two towels, exactly two wash cloths, and just a thin comforter. If you stay here and plan to go to the beach, remember to pack your own beach towels and all the toiletries you need because there are no extras. That being said, for a couple (or an individual) looking for an affordable place to stay, we found it exactly as advertised and it met our needs without breaking the bank (while at the same time allowing us to enjoy a springtime getaway.)
A few fun tips:
1) Renting a pair of chairs and an umbrella at the beach for $60 daily was well worth it for us! It gave us the shade we needed so we could enjoy the shore without getting fried. Otherwise, the beach is free!
2) We loved the tacos and drinks at Casa Maya, and it’s just down the block from the apartment. They do have outdoor seating, too, which was great for us as midwesterners hoping to snag a sneak peak of summer.
3) We also enjoyed the Two Georges restaurant right along the marina. It was a tasty fish fry and, once again, yummy drinks. However, keep in mind that there’s a long wait and no call ahead list, so eat a snack before heading out!
In general, Deerfield Beach is what you make of it. There’s beauty to be found around every corner of you look! We were hoping to avoid the resort feel and party scene, and we found exactly the relaxing getaway we were looking for.
