I’ve spent 4 nights over two visits and found Jim’s Place to be an ideal spot in Ft Lauderdale. Jim’s helpful, friendly, and casual mood inspires the guests to act the same to each other. If that’s your cup of tea, this a great place to meet and chat with like-minded travelers.

It’s convenient to both the airport and the cruise ship terminal. Within a 15 minute walk there are 2 shopping centers and many restaurants. Biking or walking around the nearby neighborhoods, shady cemetery, boats on the waterway and even to the bridge on 17th Street are great short excursions.

Although near Starbucks, Walgreen’s, and restaurants on US 1, the house and swimsuit-optional pool are well-enclosed by fences and vegetation.
