Karen's place was fantastic! The ideal landing spot in Fort Lauderdale for a small group. We loved spending mornings on the dock, easily accessing the apartment as needed, and then making our way to the beach in the afternoons. As the dock and pool is shared, we enjoyed conversations with guests staying in another apartment in the building, as well chatting with Karen's brother, and a couple of people who were working on their boats on the dock in front of the house. We just loved being out there, and the pool (unheated - "refreshing") was a great plus. Karen also very kindly refunded our first night on the day of arrival, when our flight was cancelled due to weather. My understanding is that she did not have to do that, and we greatly appreciated her kindness when our travel was not going smoothly. We also enjoyed Fort Lauderdale; the beach was great and in the mornings we loved walking along the canals and checking out the many beautiful houses and yachts along the way. Highly recommend!
