Connie has 5 units in Lauderdale by the Sea, all connected in one complex. The complex was recently renovated, and we were struck by how clean our unit and the complex were. Unit #5 is a small unit, which was well communicated, and is perfect for a long weekend. The unit is very well located, a 4 minute walk from the beach and a 10 minute walk from the downtown square. We had no need for a car given the convenient proximity.
About the unit - small, yes, but VERY clean. Better in person even than the pictures. The fan and AC unit made it very comfortable. There is a small fridge and microwave, but no coffee maker. The bed is comfortable but somewhat noisy. There is a common area with a grill and every unit comes with a coffee table outside to enjoy. The complex has a nice side yard and the common area is lovely. Would definitely return to the unit and to the complex.
In LBTS, check out Kaluz on the intracoastal for dinner (20 minute walk), and the Ft. Lauderdale Water Taxi (pickup is 1.2 miles from the unit, a short uber or walkable). The beach is right across the street, a 4 minute walk. A Walgreens is nearby but a grocery store is not in walking distance.
