WE WILL BE BACK. Yes the beach is walking distance. Yes the pool deck and views are amazing. Great spot just as pictured. Could not beat the view....many stores within walking distance. 20 min drive to Downtown FT. Lauderdale...30 min drive to Miami you couldn’t ask for a nicer spot in between so many great destinations. We could have spent the whole 8 days at the resort and been okay with that. A couple tips bring wash clothes if you need them... the apartment is equipped with EVERYTHING you need. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Host was great and immediately responded to any question we had. THANK YOU!!
