We stayed there with two little kids and really liked the apartment. It was clean, super nicely decorated and had everything we needed. We liked the little pool area in front eventhough we had to get used to the cold water at first :-)
You walk down the Las Olas Blvd to the beach which took us 25-35 minutes depending on the draw bridge. Wholefoods and Publix are just 10-15 minutes by car.
