The one block distance to the beach is VERY short as well as the walking distance to nearest grocery store. The outdoor space available for your use is peaceful, beautiful and private. The pictures do not do this place enough justice and we were so grateful for a comfortable bed!! Our hosts were polite and very respectful of our privacy but quick to answer any questions we had. Downtown Fort Lauderdale is only a short drive away if you prefer more of a city type atmosphere, but there are great restaurants within walking distance from this location. The beach closest to this place are not crowed and very peaceful! Had a great experience and will definitely recommend to others!
