My entire family, 9 of us total, including 1 child and 2 babies, stayed at Jordan's house over winter break and we had a great time - it's an excellent choice for a large group, and also great for kids. The best part of the house is the outdoor area, where we spent most of our time. And the second best part is the kitchen, which is huge, and pretty well stocked. Certain things in the house were a little bit tired/worn (like the carpet and the some of the upholstered furniture), but it didn't detract from the experience.
The location is close to the beach and everything you could need on Las Olas (although worth mentioning that the area is a bit congested due to construction). The house is situated in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, and being on the water is idyllic.
