We enjoyed are stayed as a small group of 3. The location is wonderful, close to beach and an easy drive to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, our focus for diving, as we are scuba divers. Alex's house is comfortable and the kitchen was big enough for us to make easy meals all week as Whole Foods and Publix is close by. The house has a few worn bits from general use but was comfortable and relaxing for us. For beach goers, all sorts of amenities await. We couldn't find a beach umbrella but beach supplies like chairs, a beach carry-cart and a variety of floaties was perfect for a small family with little ones.
The pool is also really nice for those hot days when you don't feel like walk and schepping all that gear to the beach. The location is also quiet so we really enjoyed our down time staying here.
