We enjoyed our stay in Lauderdale by the Sea. The house was a great location, walking distance to great food and shopping and the beach. The pool and the outdoor space were lovely.
I was a little disappointed in a few things considering the high price tag…
The beds were absolutely miserable. They were the most uncomfortable and loudest beds I’ve ever slept in. There was no humanly way possible to get out of bed in the middle of the night to use the bathroom with out waking up the entire house.
The master bedroom doesn’t get AC. When the air was on it would come through the vents in every other room of the house but no air would come from the master bedroom celling vent. So our nights were very warm unless we slept with the door to the bedroom wide open to get some air flow from the main area.
The master bathroom door was broken for 99% of our stay so we were unable to shut it all the way or lock it. No privacy in the bathroom isn’t ideal.
The master bathroom shower has the most pitiful water pressure. You turn it on and we barely got a drizzle out of it. The shower is big enough for 2 people but the water pressure is barely enough to keep one tiny human warm.
The kitchen was extremely poorly stocked. There was not even one pan to cook anything in the oven on. We bought tons of food to cook and then realized there were no pans that could go in the oven. That was very disappointing considering my husband and I like to do a lot of cooking and this is why we prefer an Airbnb over a hotel.
There were no cushions for the lawn chairs out by the pool and every single beach chair was broken.
The second bedroom off the kitchen has a shower that leaks. Every time someone would use it the floor would pool with water and we would have to use 5 towels to clean it up.
Lots of books which was awesome but it would be nice to see some more pool toys or outdoor games like cornhole. No laundry detergent, no hand soap at all except in 1 bathroom.
The pictures for this place are misleading. We found it to be quite a bit more run down than what was advertised.
But the communication with Elizabeth was good and she was helpful and responsive and brought us paper towels and hand soap when we asked.
