Had a great time staying at this lovely house with family. The home has been recently updated with great amenities and close to beautiful beaches. The house had beach chairs for all guests, and bikes were a great add on. Would definitely stay here again. Wonderful property!!
We booked a week+ for a family vacation and this place worked very well! Plenty of room for two adults and three kids. The house was spotless when we arrived. The home had pool towels, beach toys, several bikes to get around, and the basics in the kitchen to prep and cook meals. The house was located in a nice and quiet gated neighborhood a short drive away from every where we traveled. The grocery store (Publix) was a mile away, and the beach even less. Most importantly, check in and out was very easy and the host responded within minutes to any questions we had. Highly recommend for small groups and families!
The neighborhood and home are great and accomodating for larger groups. We had a family of 10 stay at this home and the size was perfect. We had a couple issues during our stay and that is why I did not give a 5 star, not enough towels/washcloths for 10 people, broken coffee maker and I felt the cleaniness was not at the level it should of been for how much cleaning fees are. Otherwise, it is a beautiful place with comfortable beds and a great outdoor area to relax with family. Kitchen was amazing with everything you would need to cook and store food. It is close to beach and they have plenty of bikes and beach chairs etc..which was wonderful. I would definately recommend this place to others wanting to stay close to Lauderdale by the Sea.
