The proximity to the beach is VERY close. We had a great time as it was our first time in Fort Lauderdale. Only slight issues were the gate not working at times (everyone in diff rooms had the same issue) and our bed had a slight break towards the bottom (didn’t cause any issues with sleeping). It was a beautiful room and had chairs that we got to take with us to the beach. The owner was very quick to respond and overall we would 10/10 times rent this room again.
