My friend & I came to Las Olas for a week simply expecting to enjoy the beach, restaurants, nightlife and excursions. What we didn’t expect, however, was to find the woman that restored our faith in humanity. Ruth has an energy to her that touches something quite indescribable within you. In just a week’s time she managed to open both her heart and the entirety of her home to us. We shared many conversations that I will cherish for a lifetime. Frankly, the house speaks for itself. It’s vast and stunning, yet possesses such a heartwarming, wholesome feeling. For some reason you can just feel in your bones that there have been an endless amount of laughs, conversations, dinners, celebrations and good company shared in that home. Ruth was even kind enough to drive me to the grocery store upon arrival and created space for our things. She made us coffee each morning which we enjoyed outside near the pool. Ruth informed me that after 25 years of living in the house she has never gotten sick of the view—and now I understand why. The location of the house is truly unmatched. It’s a quick 15-20 minute walk to the beach, or into downtown where there are many, many restaurants and shops. Additionally, Ruth made it very clear that if we wanted privacy she would absolutely respect that wish. But I must say, she is one of those people that will warm your heart and embrace you with open arms. This home is a magnet for good people. She created a space for us to feel comfortable and open enough to share the stories of our lives—our worries, fears, joys, expectations for the future. Ruth has had the most spectacular life and throughout the course of the week I received some of the best advice I’ve ever gotten. Whether you’re staying for one day or one month, do yourself a favor and enjoy everything this spectacular home has to offer.
