Lauderdale by-the-Sea was new to us but is a lovely and safe area to vacation with family. Bobby and Cindy supplied SO many things that made our trip easy…lots of nespresso pods, spices, olive oil, dishes, cookware, nice appliances, everything we needed for the beach (only a few blocks away), exercise gear, books, games, tennis rackets (court nearby). Also a Publix nearby, AC works well, beds are comfy, the whole place is beautifully appointed but with minimal stuff to get in your way. We spent two weeks with our adult daughters, both working remotely, as well as visiting local sights (Bonnet House, water taxi, Galleria, Hugh Taylor Birch Park) and hanging out at a nearby coffee shop and on the beach. We’d only suggest an umbrella for the patio where we spent many lovely hours and ate almost all our meals. Traffic is def present during the day but quiets at night. Walk to dinner or local bars if you wish. See the sunrise and sunsets on the beach! Thanks again, def recommend!
