Place was as advertised. Very nice pool gets plenty of sun during the day and the outdoor space was very relaxing. Loved the gym. The home has a terrific library of books to choose from so really no need to bring any just grab one from the house for the beach or pool. Beautiful kitchen with new appliances. If you are not looking to drive for dinner we went to LaVie Restaurant (6 min). It’s a Lebanese restaurant. All healthy foods. Grilled or slow cooked fish and meats. You have to order the Labneh and/or Baba Ghanouj to start with fresh hot pitas and Tabbouleh (it’s a salad) all three are great for the table and sharing. Publix is right down the road so its real convenient for all your groceries. They also have a sandwich section where you can order wraps or sandwiches on your way to the beach. We went to both Lauderdale by the Sea and the beach by Las Olas Blvd. The beaches themselves are no different but the vibe at Las Olas is much better and tons of restaurants to choose from. Take a ride to Del Ray while you are there. Great area to check out. If you have kids look into a day at Tidal Cove Waterpark (I know your first thought but it’s not like the water parks you’ve been to… not crowded and perfect for parents. You can sit pool side by the bar and watch your kids on the short lines sliding down the rides. Much better than the usual parks!). We did the airboats in Fort Lauderdale. It’s fine. Guess you have to do it. Saw two small gators. It was only an hour and the guide was good. Rented bikes and rode thru Hugh Taylor Park. Probably not worth it. Bikes were expensive and park was so so. In the end you can’t go wrong just sticking to the house pool and the beach!
