This efficiency has a nice 60s vintage style decor. It is walking distance to the nearby Cove Shopping center that has plenty of restaurants, stores, services like massage, haircuts and nail salon. You could walk to the beach but it would be a bit of walk. But, being a resident of Deerfield Beach, I have done it on busy weekends when the only parking for the beach is at the Cove. It was the lowest price apartment so close to the beach, so if you don't mind some it's quirky nuance, it's a great deal. What I did not like was the fact that due to poor plumbing in the area you cannot flush toilet paper. Due to weak electricity in the area, you cannot work the microwave while running the AC. On the AC, while its a portable unit it really cools down the apartment! The other turn off for me was the kitchen. It's way too cramped. We had a hard time using the microwave because the door opens towards you. This is also true with the refrigerator. It has it's own private entrance on the side but at night it's very dark and you have to navigate uneven ground and a bunch of "stuff" that's stacked up near the entrance of the gate. We were hoisted by Gilda who was very charming and explained all the rules. They are pet friendly and you can tell she loves dogs.
