the reviews were very accurate. wonderful spot and great location. we had great views watching all the boats go by on the intracoastal and we had a quick 5 minute walk to the beach when we wanted to swim in the ocean. Very close to other great beaches as well like Lauderdale-by-the-sea, ft Lauderdale Beach. we would stay here again. the kids loved the pool and we enjoyed the beach chairs, sand toys and sun umbrella provided with the rental. A great idea for families travelling from far away who can't bring these items on the flight. We had a great vacation.
