The Penthouse was amazing and really served our needs for a large group of people. At first I had wanted direct view to the ocean but we got the best of both worlds - side view of ocean and gorgeous view of canal and city (especially at night). We got to watch lots of beautiful boats go by. The balcony that sat all 8 was a favorite. For breakfast, lunch and evening. My son even insisted on sleeping out there one night.
Big screen tv, large round dinner table and couch that sat all 8 were also awesome.
The beach was active but not so crowded you couldn’t find a place to sit.
I would suggest getting a car. This was another bonus of the location. We were 35 minutes from Miami and 15 from Ft Lauderdale. This allowed us to be part of lots of action when we wanted to be then come back to a little more quiet atmosphere. Valets were really awesome the whole time. Very courteous and helpful. Started recognizing us a couple days in. We never waited long for our car.
One of the best parts of the condo itself was the host. He was always very responsive and helpful. Just a pleasure to do business with. I had some issues with others places so I appreciate his professionalism.
We would definitely stay again
