The location was great - just a block and a half from the beach. Check in with keypad automatic locking system. Communication was easy. The showers were great and the beds were really comfortable. The place was clean. There is parking in front where you could pull in and accommodate more than one car. There is a patio in front accessible from a sliding glass door from the dining room/living room area and from the parking area/outside that would be great for kids or pets (if allowed), and visitors. Fort Lauderdale maintains beach front access and cut ins to the beaches. Plenty of beach towels provided. There are bars and restaurants that are within a somewhat healthy walking or easy driving distance. 20-30 minutes from the airport depending on the time of day.
