Matthews cottage was comfortable, clean, and conveniently located. There is an awesome state park about a mile away and the beach only a stones throw further. The cottage has a great little deck overlooking a garden and yard, which boasted 6+ species of butterflies, 25+ species of birds, and several lizards; Awesome nature watching (in the heart of Fort Lauderdale) with our morning coffee every day.
Matthew is also an excellent host. He was accommodating to our situation, understanding to our limitations, and flexible with our schedule. He is extremely communicative and helpful, always answering our messages within minutes. We are very thankful for the cottage (which is really larger than what I would call a cottage haha) privacy of that city oasis.
It was a great stay and if we return the area, we will be looking up Matthew and his rentals for sure!
