Where we stayed

Sea Cliff Resort

Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Florida

Once a coastal motel, Sea Cliff has been transformed into a condo-style resort. Updated interiors and fresh furnishings give it a modern feel, while a little coastal nostalgia and a hint of Slim Aarons poolside style keep its original charm.
