Rick was an absolute great host. The picture on the web is bit misleadings. The Butler County is quite small . If you want a spectacular view of the beach, book the Tybee suite aka the honeymoon suite… Salutes to Rick….quite a Scotsman … Ted and Pat. Kentucky lMay 8 th

The owner, Rick, told us he hoped our stay at the bed and breakfast would feel like a home away from home. It certainly did! The breakfasts were delicious; the atmosphere, peaceful; the establishment, beautiful and clean. Rick was a delight to meet - knowledgeable, kind, and happy to serve. We recommend this bed and breakfast.

A little getaway for our anniversary
This is our first time at a bed and breakfast. DeSoto bed and breakfast was cute and quiet. There is only 3 rooms that share the main sitting area. We stayed in the Tybee suite. So we had the entire upstairs with a private balcony to sit and look at the stars at night and see the sun raise and ocean in the morning. Every morning breakfast was served family style and every evening we had wine, cheese, and crackers. Kirby was the person that cooks breakfast for us and she is very friendly and outgoing. The sweetest thing about this place was to hear that the owner has staff bring breakfast to the elderly neighbor who is 98 years old and lives across the street every day!

We enjoyed our stay! Very quaint, very clean! As indicated in the advertisement we were to have someone there to greet us at check in- there was not..we went next door to check in as told to us by others in the courtyard at the time.. Breakfast was supposed to be from 830-10.. breakfast was being prepared at 7am- noisy for those staying in the Butler Room that may want to sleep in.. breakfast was on the table promptly at 830.. would not have been able to have breakfast later than that.. we did enjoy our time but just a couple of points that may upset some guests

Great location, difficult nights sleep.
Inn keeper was fabulous. The room though was eh. Very hot and the closet floor was wet and smelled weird. The lights are on in the house all night so it was super bright. Made for a hard nights sleep. Location is great for a walk on the beach though!

We have stayed at the Desoto Bed and Breakfast several years ago. It was great, they had an inn keeper that gave you that southern hospitality. Breakfast was out of this world. This time, their inn keeper should not be apart of the B&B. Her breakfast was worse than a Motel 6. Had the same thing 3 days in a row. Talk to the manager, he in turn talked to her and again we got the same breakfast. No change, except she was mad. Not sure we will return.

We had a lovely stay at the B & B. We stayed in the Butler room. The only real complaint was that blackout curtains are definitely needed. We found a blanket in the closet and was able to cover the window with it. Had we not had it, it would have definitely affected our sleep. Also, the place while mostly clean, could definitely use a thorough deep clean. Breakfast was excellent and both hostesses during our stay were extremely friendly and helpful. It would be nice to have 2 breakfast sittings if possible. 8:30 was a bit late for us. We were not able to eat the last day. All in all though, I would certainly recommend.

This was our first time at a true bed and breakfast and we loved it! Breakfast was AMAZING!! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Check in is located in the hotel next door for future reference but easy to navigate. Would recommend to others as a little older decor but that is part of the experience. No complaints and we will be back in the future! I believe our hostess was named Lynne and she was SO NICE and welcoming, would love to have her working on my team!!

Nice property, we didn't realize that there was a spring break event so that affected what we were able to do,however the room was comfy but small. I would like to go back on a quieter weekend. Breakfast was great. Very private, building stays locked and only the three suites have keys.

Check in was easy. The inn keeper, Lynn was very friendly. She prepared delicious breakfasts each day. Big cookies and fruit were available to us. There are only three rooms available at the B &B. They are seperated from each other, there is plenty of privacy. The commons area is nice. It has two porches to relax on. I think it was the softest bed i have ever slept on! Walking distance to beach. Lots of restaurants nearby. Lighthouse walkable or short drive, enjoyed going there.

This property was gorgeous. We stayed in the Tybee Suite for a single night but will look to re-book for a longer stay in the future. Breakfast was wonderful and made by Ms. Lynn, who also saw to any needs we had during our stay. Easy access to the beach via a short walkway. The beds were comfortable and facilities were clean and modern with a touch of antiquity.
