We just came back from a long stay at Gail's. Her place was perfect for us: safe neighborhood, near but shops and restaurants, 3 minutes drive to the beach and about 20-30 minutes to most places like Sawgrass Mills mall, Aventura, Miami beach, Boca Raton, etc. our kids are 7 and 11 and they never got bored, as the house itself is very inviting and the area offers pent of options for all. We found specially helpful a basket with area brochures and coupons that was provided upon our arrival.
The house itself is tastefully decorated and landscaped. It's got everything you could ask from a beach house. From the pool with launching chairs, grill, full size kitchen, wine fridge, to a tv with audio system. Actually, I found her place to be bigger than I had imagined from the pictures.
We didn't get to meet Gail but maintained good mail and phone communication.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay. Thanks Gail for letting us use your home!
