The home is located in a safe residential neighborhood within walking distance to dining and shopping. The beach is about 1 mile away. The house is lovely and spacious. It comfortably fits a large family/group. If you plan to stay in the area you do not need a car. Plenty of activities and sights nearby, in addition to the beach. We definitely enjoyed our stay. This is the perfect location for a Fort Lauderdale stay - long or short.
