This home is generously spacious in its price point category, well-equipped with all of the indoor and outdoor gear, gadgets and everything in between you may need while traveling with a family or group. Cooking was a breeze indoors and outside, good kitchen supplies, utensils and such. The SALT WATER pool was refreshing. The kids liked the waterfall, springs and the “tiers” of the pool. Towels, pillows and bedding were abundant for 5 people as well. The 2.5 bathrooms were a feature much appreciated. The washer/dryer was EVERYTHING on a vacation with children. We have a 1 year old and it’s not easy traveling to places not actively “baby proofed” (what fun would that be for a vacation house!?) but we managed just fine. Guaranteed Parking (off street) was a huge relief, as downtown its a circus. Wish the house was even closer to the beach but weighing all, especially considering price comparably to other places on the sand or otherwise beachfront, it’s a no-brainer! This is a great spot if you’re traveling as a family (or other group), on a realistic budget and/or especially if you plan to day-trip around (in and out of town). Super close to ALL shopping needs, main roads and highways. Central A/C worked great. The dishwasher, cable, smart TVs, sound system and “Alexa” were bonus. Wifi was sufficient. The house is centrally located, you can be almost anywhere in town in Fort Lauderdale in 15-20 minutes and other nearby spots within 20- 30 minutes: The local ocean beaches, different hot-spot “strips” of Fort Lauderdale, FLL airport, Hollywood Beach Boardwalk, Dania Beach and even Miami and Boca Raton, etc.. We rented a car but found that Uber was also a reasonable option to get around: We checked out Aruba Beach cafe at Boyd’s suggestion (valet parking) and hit the adjacent Lauderdale-by-the-sea pier for photo opps and even caved in and hit a souvenir shop that evening too. We also downloaded the Resort Pass App and did some “day passes” and even a cabana rental one day. For the best value in that department, we recommend The Plunge hotel/resort for its combination of price, convenience and beach/pool access (price includes all chairs, umbrellas, towels and parking ALL FIRST COME FIRST SERVED) and the Tidal Cove water park on the way to Miami (only on a WEEKDAY though). The kids LOVED the water park day! Boyd was accessible and responsive to questions before we arrived and of course, needs during our stay.
