Windjammer Resort & Beach Club

"Great place to stay. Great people who work there They are ALL very friendly and it’s right on the sand"

"My wife and I booked a stay here using our timeshare. And of course, the pictures looked great online, but would the resort measure up? I think so. We actually had to arrive a few days late (the timeshare exchange was for a full week). The staff were accommodating, and when we landed at Fort Lauderdale Airport, I had to call them to let them know I wouldn’t make it before the office closed at 7:00 pm. So they sent me instructions on how to get my keys via a lockbox. Now this place isn’t the Ritz, nor did I expect it to be. I’m looking for clean and comfortable. All entrances are exterior and the building is three floors high. They do have an elevator. We had a 1-bedroom unit on the second floor in room 206. The unit isn’t large by any means. The living room and kitchen area were together. The fridge was full size but I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a small dishwasher, although it is probably more than adequate for most people. The unit did not have an oven but did have 2 stovetop burners. Since we don’t cook when we travel, that wasn’t a big deal. The living room had a recliner and a sleeper sofa. A small dining table sat beside the sofa. I liked the arrangement of the bathroom. The toilet and shower were in one area separated by a door from the sink. The sink area connected the living room and bedroom. Of course, there was a door to the bedroom, but there was also a pocket door between the sink and living room. That’s a nice feature since the unit supposedly sleeps 4 people, but I definitely wouldn’t try to fit four adults in one room. The bedroom was tight with little space around the bed. We only had a closet since there wasn’t room for a dresser. But the bed was comfortable, and we slept well. I wouldn’t classify these next items as complaints, but perhaps oddities. The shower was nice looking, but was the narrowest shower I have ever stepped in. And then there was the door off the bedroom. Basically you had a deck right off the bedroom. However, it wasn’t private in any way. There were about 5-6 units sharing this walkway, with each unit having its portion cordoned off by a single rope. I guess this feature makes the unit ocean view? Needless to say, we never used it. The unit was very clean. In fact, the resort offered basic daily cleaning service, which I don’t see very often when I use my timeshare exchange. You simply have to indicate whether you want someone to clean the unit by switching a little sign next to your door that says do not disturb or welcome. As for laundry, the unit does not have a washer and dryer, but there are some onsite. We didn’t use them, but the cost for using the washer and dryer was $1 each. Parking spaces are assigned when you arrive, and ours was very conveniently located off a side street. The resort is directly on the ocean. You can grab chairs by the pool to take with you to the beach. You can also request a beach umbrella in the office. We liked the location as well. Within a few blocks, you’ll find several restaurants and shops. I would definitely stay here again. You just can’t beat everything the resort offered - clean and comfortable rooms, a great location and nice amenities."

"On the beach, they have chairs and umbrellas, beach/pool toys for free use. Some rooms have a great views. Comfortable place. Nice staff. Heated pools. Beach is not too busy. Good for families and the over 45. Close to the restaurants (5 min walk) but far enough away so you don't hear the noise if going to bed early. They even have snorkeling buoys if you want to snorkel the reef past the swimming area. Saw a stingray, a nurse shark, two angelfish, a puffer, and many lobster. The winds need to be calm for the best snorkeling. Rooms are not new, but good. We rarely vacation anywhere twice, but we did here and will come back."

"Stayed at this resort last Fall (2022) after reading Great things about it. Everything we read was right on the spot. Small but Great Resort and Location. Room was clean with everything we needed. No car was needed as everything is within walking distance. Beach was perfect with Free Chairs and Umbrella. Free Bikes available on site. Small Laundry available on site. All the Employees we meet were Great. Five minute walk to all that Lauderdale by the Sea has to offer. Meals, Ice Cream and Happy Hour all around. Loved it so much we are returning in a couple weeks! Can't Wait! Love LBS!"

"My daughter and I had the most wonderful vacation last week staying at Windjammer. From the time we arrived, until the time we left. Kind staff, clean room, pool, beach. I love the location. Everything was absolutely beautiful. We're looking forward to our next visit."
