This little apartment is a gem! The bonus is that you get to utilize all of the amenities of The Sea Lord when you stay in the apartment. My husband and I stayed for 11 days in July because I needed a surgery in Ft. Lauderdale, but we were still able to enjoy our time. Takeaways: Emil was a great host and connected us to The Sea Lord right away (his hotel about 1 mile from the apartment) where we met Tatiana who made certain we were plugged into the perks there. We looked forward to visiting with her every time we went. If you don't want to rent a car, you really don't have to. There is a golf cart service that will cart you around up and down the beach. If you do rent a car, there is paid parking on the street, or you can park at The Sea Lord for free and have a golf cart service take you back to the apartment. There is wonderful food within walking distance. Our nearby favorites were Yumbo Poke and Smoke BBQ. We ate poke at Yumbo at least 3 times and my big regret is that we only ate at the BBQ place once. So! Good! There is a bar on 33rd St named Fishtails that has excellent live music on the weekends. The music goes until about midnight and you can hear it clearly from the apartment, and it was enjoyable. The woman's voice is beautiful. We were there 2 weekends and the parking filled up quickly. Even during the week, Fishtails seemed to be a very popular place. There are shops and other bars and restaurants very close by, but because of the nature of our visit, (surgery) my experiences outside the apartment were limited. The Sea Lord provides a wonderful relaxing place to listen to and watch the ocean. Sea turtle nests line the beach. Even with the surgery, our stay was very enjoyable and my husband and I would highly recommend Emil's place to anyone!
