Great place to stay! The home is very spacious and comfortable. The back yard, pool and patio is great for relaxing and dining outside. The walk to the beach is super short and the beach wasn't very busy. There are public showers at the beach entrance so you can rinse the sand off on the walk back to the house. We were a bit concerned with privacy due to the new condos behind the house but the landscaping is thick in the back yard and we never even saw anyone on the balconies of the building so its not an issue.
Shopping, dining and activities are all extremely close! Check out Kilwyns and PAN'E DOLCI Italian Bakery on Commercial Blvd a few miles up the road in Lauderdale by the Sea. They are both delicious.
If you are in town and want to dive, check out Gold Coast Scuba or South Florida Diving Headquarters. The SS Copenhagen and the Nursery are two shallow 30' dives that are absolutely beautiful and only these dive shops are only about 10 minutes away from this rental. You can also beach dive from the beach near the house.
