Fort Lauderdale has in recent years become the top gay destination of choice among many gay travelers. Fort Lauderdale features miles of white sandy beach, and 100’s of gay and gay friendly businesses. Cheston House is centrally located in the heart of Ft. Lauderdale's gay lodging district. We are 1.5 blocks to the Fort Lauderdale beach and the ever popular gay beach at Sebastian Street is just a short walk away. We are also a short drive or cab ride away from all the nightlife & bars that Fort Lauderdale has to offer.

Fort Lauderdale has so many great gay restaurants, bars and shopping that we tend to loose track of them all. But, never fear, our staff stays on top of Ft. Lauderdale's gay hotspots, gay events and just plain gay goings on about town. Fort Lauderdale nightlife never quits. Gay bars of every inclination are available and popular. Almost all Gay Fort Lauderdale bars have nightly specials or nightly events. Whether you are looking for the most popular leather bars, video bars, dance bars or just a nice friendly neighborhood pub our staff can direct you in the right direction.

“Excellent Resort, Amazing Staff”

Dec 18, 2010
This is a truly wonderful resort! I stayed here for 6 nights in mid-December, and really enjoyed staying at the Cheston. The hotel is small and quaint, so the guests get to socialize with each other quite a bit, which makes for a far more interesting stay. My partner and I met some great people and even exchanged e-mails with a few of them. The pool is a good size and heated nicely (we were there during a chilly week!). Our room was VERY clean and bigger than expected. The beds were comfy, and I slept like a baby for 6 nights straight! The breakfast was a good way to help start off your day. The Cheston is in a great location, just a few steps to the beach and a 10 minute walk to the gay beach.

But what really stands out here is the staff. Chuck and his team are some of the nicest people I've ever met. If you ever needed anything, Chuck wouldn't hesitate to help you out. When I mentioned to Chuck that the wheel of my suitcase had broken off, he arrived the next day with a toolbox and driller so that we could fix it for the flight home. The Cheston has a "family" feel to it, and I think it's in large part because of Chuck's warm and friendly character.

So, in a nutshell, amazing staff, nice resort, good company, and excellent value for your money. Would definitely stay again.
