Crane's Beach House Boutique Hotel Luxury Villas Review
After having gone to Miami so many times, I knew I wanted to explore more off the beaten path beach towns in Florida for my audience to visit. That includes beach towns like Deerfield and Delray. I discovered Crane’s Beach House Hotel & Luxury Villas when googling low-key places to get away in Delray, and found a perfect hidden gem known as one of the exclusive resorts in Palm Beach, Florida. Boutique hotels are really authentic hotels that offer a more intimate, personalized service and unique aesthetic. Regular hotels have more rooms, more crowds and tend to be chains. Boutique hotels give you a more “one-time” experience.
My stay at Crane’s was a very pleasant experience as I was able to enjoy both the boutique hotel luxury villas. As well as the downtown area, conveniently located within walking distance. I knew I had to write a review to share my thoughts and why I believe Crane’s is a great place to book for your trip to Delray Beach.
Crane's Beach House Boutique Hotel Luxury Villas Review
Crane’s Beach House Boutique Hotel & Luxury Villas is a private, relaxed, tropical-themed oasis located at 82 Gleason St, Delray Beach, FL 33483. It’s within walking distance to the beach. Getting you to the water within a few short minutes. My first impression of Crane’s from the outside was that it wasn’t much. Because you really couldn’t see what it looked like from the street. But as soon as you walk in, you’re overwhelmed with greenery, flowers, waterfalls, pools and curvy pathways. It was such a special treat. And made it feel super secluded, like we were getting a VIP treatment.
The overall ambiance resembles that of a small beach with tiki huts, pools, hidden escapes and exuberant nature all around. The resort itself is quiet (although we were there in August during off-peak time) and the staff is kind and generous. We mostly had the grounds and pools to ourselves in August which made it feel even more exclusive.

My Honest Crane's Beach House Boutique Hotel & Luxury Villas Review
My stay at Crane’s Beach House Boutique Hotel & Luxury Villas was exactly what you’d imagine it to be after reading this review; peaceful, private and tropical. I had never stayed at such a private property before where I felt totally remote and safe. Going during off-peak season made us feel like we had the place to ourselves. And every pathway you took led you to something cool. The private balcony was relaxing, the pools were clean, an enjoyable temperature and in prime locations throughout the property. The greenery, water fountains and birds made for a great experience in nature.
We stayed in the Deluxe One Bedroom Suite and I was thoroughly pleased with the layout, space and snacks and drinks available (for purchase). There were sweet and savory snacks on the counter. Fresh coffee, beer, wine and champagne as well as ice cream bars in the freezer! I couldn’t believe how convenient and homey they made the rooms feel. I especially loved the private balcony for relaxing and reading.
Overall, I loved Crane’s because it offered a truly authentic experience within such a prime location in Delray Beach. Being able to bask in the sun in your little oasis and within minutes be headed downtown to entertainment, restaurants and bars, made for a well-balanced trip. I would suggest this hotel to couples and also to anyone looking for a more low-key, affordable tropical getaway.
