Crane's Beach House Boutique Hotel & Luxury Villas

This is a terrific property with beautiful grounds, clean and well-appointed rooms, friendly and attentive staff. You feel like you're in your own oasis. It's on a quiet street but a really close walk to the beach and all of Delray's great restaurants. Highly recommend!

We have been coming here since 2021. It’s just a chill vibe. A 2 min walk to the beach 2 beautiful quite super clean pools one with a waterfall. Rooms are super clean and beautiful something for everyone grounds are immaculate. Top notch without the attitude!! Thank you cranes

Beautiful hidden treasure in Del Ray Beach. The Beautiful flowers and vegetation gave the feeling of a tropical vacation. The staff was beyond welcoming and courteous. The suite was amazing. The outdoor seating was relaxing. Planning to return

What a fabulous find of a hotel. Incredibly spacious and immaculate rooms. The pools and tucked away location made it perfect for a relaxing girls getaway. Gary & his staff were super accommodating, friendly & helpful. Highly recommend & will definitely be back!

I think this is a very romantic place and you are like in a jungle but within a block of downtown Atlantic Avenue where you can walk yourself or take a free trolley. You are a block from the beach and you can have a drink or a burger at Sandbar Tiki Hut within a block to the beach. The room is super clean and comfortable and the shower is nice with a bowl for the sink ! No strange smells at all and a full kitchen but not all have dishwasher but they will wash dishes for you for $10 a day. Nice TV in bedroom and living room in the one bedroom (king) suite unless you are in a studio where your queen bed is in one room. Studios are also lovely and the price is right. They have two pools in this complex and a nice relaxing area with couches and a hammock outside with benches and tables with umbrellas everywhere. Very romantic ! Not very many rooms but the people that work here are SUPER nice and I have been going for years. No food here except your room will have wine, champagne, candles, candy, beer and all kinds of snacks and even some frozen snacks that you can buy individually. You will get two free bottles of water ! The LOCATION is everything. Please stay here and you will have a lovely time ! The pool water temperature in November was like bath water ! One of the pools has a changing station. The one bedroom suite comes with two beach chairs and a bathrobe and a safe. You can walk to the Drift Restaurant at the Opal Resort (delicious!) or have breakfast or dinner at Cafe Luna Rosa or dinner at Bostons for a very easy walk. The beach is an easy walk. The office will help you with anything ! Atlantic Avenue has every kind of restaurant and even an Arcade for the kids. There will be concerts and they have a 100 foot Christmas tree that kids will love ! Enjoy !

- [ ] We were in Florida to visit my Dad. He died the first day that were were there. I called the hotel from the hospital and told them that we would arrive very late and that my father died and we would not be able to stay for the four night that we booked. The person that answered the phone was compassionate and said that he understood and of course we would only be charged for the nights that we stayed. I had explained that the funeral was in NY and we would have to get back. We arrived at the hotel after midnight and there was no parking spots available. We had to park on a very dark side street and walk back to the hotel with our bags. The next morning I went to see the person in the office. I once again explained the circumstances and he said that there was a no cancellation policy. Although I certainly understood the policy I explained to difficult circumstances and asked if they could make some sort of accommodation. He said that the circumstances were not the fault of the hotel and we would have to pay for all 4 nights. I asked to speak to the owner but was told she only accepts emails. I sent her an email explaining the circumstances and she never wrote back. The clerk told me later that he checked with her and there w out old be no accommodation despite the death of my father. We paid for all 4 nights. The room was just as bad. The air conditioner was extremely loud. They have glasses and plates in the room but if you Donny wash them you are charged a washing fee. There was no dishwasher and no dish soap or sponge. There was also a loud left blower outside very early in the morning. I have never written a bad review but this hotel was cruel. It was so overpriced for a hotel on dark side street with insufficient parking and a small subpar room. I would avoid at all costs. Finally my sister stayed at the Colony. The staff and accommodations were wonderful.
