What an exceptionally relaxing time! The house is clean and well appointed with everything you need indoors and outdoors -- for cooking, going to the beach, swimming in the pool, reading a book or watching TV. The master bed is particularly soft. Just bring a swimming suit and sunscreen! We cooked a lot but otherwise spent most of our time outside.
The backyard is beautifully landscaped and the pool is well-maintained. The extra charge for heating the pool was reasonable and definitely worth it. Ranging from about 3' to 6' deep, the pool was perfect for both kids and adults.
Public access to the beach within walking distance is a strip of beach by the water surrounded by private beachfront. The host provides a map with detailed instructions for how to walk there. It was nice and quiet there but we preferred to drive to Fort Lauderdale Beach which had a small playground our daughter enjoyed and lifeguards. Just go early in the day so you can find convenient parking.
