This house is all about the outdoor area! We spent 95% of our waking hours out there from morning coffee straight through to evening cocktails. The pool was clean and we used it constantly. The view of the canal was very relaxing. The outdoor cushions do need to be replaced though as they are dirty, flat and very uncomfortable. If it had rained and we needed to be indoors, we might have rated the house slightly lower. The TV seating area is very small so only a few people can gather comfortably to watch a movie together at the same time. Also the kitchen needs to be inventoried for replacement of some worn out or missing items. But overall we have no regrets - the outdoor space and the close proximity to Lauderdale by the Sea made it a nice time for everyone. We also had my elderly Grandmother with us and it was nice to have a one story home so she didn't have to navigate steps.
