The Native Sun

Affordable accommodation on the beach. Each unit has a kitchen so you can eat in when you want. A small facility with four floors so no crowds around the pool area and beach chairs are not all taken every day.

THE NATIVE SUN

AUGUST 1984-2022

I had the great pleasure of being born into these waters. The pool and the ocean were where I learned to swim. I was baptized right down the road at the place where my Mom and Dad were married.

Our family didn't always have the most money to spend, so this was the best place. It's a safe place for families, and has nice grocery stores right down the road should one like to buy groceries and cook in the kitchen or on the grills located outside. There are also nice piers nearby within walking distance. Free trolley will take you around the loop should you like to see the public beaches. There are also fun rentals nearby should you like to boat, surf, or play other FUN ocean games.

It is still currently located on a private ocean.

They had to undergo a 40-year review recently and passed the test with multiple updates.

SAFTEY NOTES: AGAIN FOR EMPHASIS: It's a private ocean. NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY. One of my Uncles was 2nd place runner-up for Firefighter of the year for his excellent display of bravery and courage off-duty to save a drowning man who was trying to save his little girl. I was very fortunate to have been trained by him. If you're unsure of the ocean (and especially with children in tow), it's highly recommended to not go out too far and never past the buoys.

The ocean will always win in a treading contest. She will take you under.

NOT PICTURED: Family. Because I don't like to post pictures of children.

Beautiful, spacious apartments overlooking ocean. Superb double balconies, tennis, shuffleboard, mini golf, pool and jacuzzi. Home from home atmosphere. Stunning

Great place to be with family. Like the more boutique feel more Than high rise hotels

Great stay. Kim was very helpful. Highly recommended!

We have been going here for 10 years. Absolutely love it here. Michael and the front office staff are very accommodating and will go out of their way to help. Rooms are a little dated but perfect for us with a full kitchen. Publix is around a half mile away for shopping. Sea watch is two doors down and a great restaurant. Beach is kept beautiful and raked daily by the city. Can't wait for next year already!!!

I was lucky enough to get a fantastic room facing the beach. The view ensured that I was in paradise for the week. I had no complaints. The bed slept nicely. The amenities were good and the staff were very pleasant. I would like to be a regular.

Been coming here since I was 7. Plenty of space, games to play, and the beach chairs they provide are convenient too. Both a pool and a Jacuzzi to enjoy, as well as a public grill. My review may be a bit sweetened by nostalgia, but the only complaint to be had is about the beach, which will sometimes get a hefty float of seaweed now and then.

Perfect place to bring the family! Private beach with beach chairs included. Great pool grills, mini put, all nicely maintained by a friendly staff. We will definitely be back. Huge pro that it isn't a sky scraper resort where you have to fight for beach space. You pretty much have breach to yourself!

This resort is ideally located. The grounds are beautiful...so serene. The beach in this area is well groomed and the resort has direct beach access. The resort supplies lounge chairs and beach towels along with basic amenities in the condos such as toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, soap, and plenty of towels. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

My family has owned a time share here since the 80's. We still love coming here. It's a slice of heaven in a hectic world. Hoping to spend many more happy years at The Native Sun.

I've being going to the Native since I was 6 months old. I am currently 28. You feel at home once you arrive. Every room has a breathtaking ocean view and the staff is extremely friendly. There are many attractions around the area and the courtyard has plenty of highlights for all ages. As a Timeshare owner, you see the same owners every year coming from different parts of the world and create a second family as the years go by. I highly recommend this gem resort and will start coming here with my own kids.

Just wanted to give this place a shout out because I spent my childhood at Native Sun and shared some of the best moments of my life here with my family. I'm not an advocate for time shares per se, but this one is exceptional--its small and quaint, not a massive resort like some other timeshares I've seen. It has an old Florida charm to it that you just don't see anymore, but the grounds are still very well maintained to this day (so I'm told). Also, you cannot beat the pristine private beach, which is right at the end of the courtyard. Would recommend for any family who wants to make lifelong memories!

A hidden gem! Everything you could want in a vacation getaway and right on beach. Nice Full kitchen. Bright and sunny decor. Bed and Hideabed very comfortable. Great shower with power. Nice warm clean pool. Beach 50m away. Hot tub is great. 2 BBQ available. Friendly, helpful and accommodating front desk. Great tennis court which seems always available. Shuffle board and little putting green. Each unit has private deck and chairs and ocean view. Lots of beach lounge chairs, never an issue. Millenials might think its dated....but we all understand them. Catholic church across the street. Grocery store 10 min walk. Not a huge resort, which makes it quiet and comfortable. Love It.

We spent three weeks at the Native Sun and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Excellent location, good amenities and a Goldilocks size; not too big, not too small but just right. Very nice one bedrooms units and very nice and helpful staff. Best value on the beach in Lauderdale-by-the Sea.

Such a wonderful four story resort. The staff are exceptional. The rooms and resort very clean. The amenities are great. The view and beach are beautiful. The location prime.

My Home Away From Home. It is a small timeshare with excellent friendly staff who are more like family. The beach is a few steps away and the pool is always inviting. Location is perfect - close to a lot of restaurants and entertainment/activities!

The staff is great from the moment you walk in the door. They are helpful and friendly. The apartment was outstanding nice long balcony facing the pool and beach, I'd come back again.

The Native Sun is a tiny resort in Lauderdale By The Sea, Pompano Beach, with a family feel and genuine, comfortable amenities. Nestled amongst picturesque native flora and fauna alongside the ocean, this four-floor resort has become a second home to generations of families as well as a weekend retreat for travellers passing through. The Native Sun appeals and is geared to those of all ages, the very young to the very old. A newly surfaced tennis court, shuffleboard, mini put, pool, sauna and hot tub are available for those of us who prefer to keep active. Though tucked away by the ocean, groceries, shopping and tasty food are a short drive away. Service is excellent, attentive and open to each guest's individual needs and perspective on what the ideal vacation away entails. All at The Native Sun, from the cheerful and professional managers at the front desk to the grounds people to those tending the immaculate rooms combine to create a peaceful sojurn.

Great check-in, one of the best housekeeping, good helpful friendly staff. Appt, very clean, big balcony all Appt, have a sea view. Sunloungers pull them to the sea enjoy yr day. Had a good wk could have stayed longer.
