Our family had a wonderful time and made some sweet memories. We enjoyed visiting local beaches from Fort Lauderdale to Hollywood and South Beach. There is so much to see and lots of great local beach restaurants to choose from. But, you don't really need to leave the property... it's a little Oasis in the middle of Hollywood. We spent lots of time sitting around the pool and hot tub... relaxing, swimming, and playing cards. (There are some games available) We opted to have the pool heated because it was "chilly" (70s) in December and cloudy. But it was also great to have the hot tub in the evenings. We ate meals on the patio overlooking the canal. It's a great location for a larger family like ours. (Plenty of beds and sitting space) We also enjoyed using the paddle boards on the canal. We got to see lots of iguanas along the shore. A canoe and kayak are also available as well as pool floaties and beach toys.
The house was well stocked with towels, toilet paper, hand soap, dish and laundry detergent, etc. There was even a supply of guest shampoo/conditioner and lotion in each bathroom.
The owners are awesome and very responsive to any questions that came up. I researched ALOT of properties in the area and am thankful we chose this one. We would recommend it for a South Florida getaway.
