We stayed 10 nights here, and it was FANTASTIC! For the price point, we couldn't believe it! Apt 5 is upstairs which means more privacy, and most importantly, a living room (yes there's a separate living room - this place is really large) VIEW - one side is a view of the pool and the other side is a view of multimillion dollar homes with actual yachts parked in front. I don't mean the ones parked behind this property, which are also very nice, but I mean the ones which belong to the mansions. Why is this important? Because when you're cooped up inside due to one of Florida's frequent rain showers, even if it's only for 45 min, it's fantastic to have an unobstructed gorgeous waterfront view, and you still feel like you are on vacation. Also when it's 96 degrees outside and you need a little relief, that living room view with the cold, cold AC, is perfect!
The remodeled bathroom and kitchen are wonderful (there are many rooms in the Miami area with 1970's pink/green tile bathrooms - why do that to yourself on vacation?) and all the basic kitchen supplies are available. Even a blender and toaster, as well as basic coffee for the coffeemaker. Don't go grocery shopping until you see what's available. The beach umbrellas, coolers, and beach mats were so handy, and bring quarters for the washer/dryer ($1.75 each, cheaper than the laundromat a round town). Biking distance to the beach, and walking distance to that huge mall, the Galleria (although walking in 95 deg weather is a task, no matter what the distance). The poolside shared outdoor space is gorgeous, and we used the Weber Genesis grill twice (nicer than my own Weber at home!). Grill brush is under the outdoor sink. Not kidding, they thought of everything! Seriously, next time we are back in Ft Lauderdale for a tournament, this is where we will stay for sure!
