Place was nice. Owner was very accommodating and thoughtful as he supplied the house with toiletries, seasonings, lots of towels, and even maps, activity pamphlets, balls and beach chairs for outdoor leisure. The only downfall that I had was the location. If your plans are to be in Fort Lauderdale then it's fine as driving to the beach is only a matter of minutes and many near by stores are within driving distance. If you plan on venturing outside Fort Lauderdale and spending a lot of time in the arts district or south beach, be prepared to drive 30-40 minutes.
There was no interaction with the host which was perfect for me. The home was keyless entry which allowed me to easily access the house during the midnight hours when I arrived. There's a camera on the door bell, but I believe that's for safety reasons. Either way, if it was being used or not by the owner, he wasn't a nuisance to me.
