A COUPLES PARADISE
Review Submitted: September 8, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
My husband and I stayed here in May and had the most delightful time at this house. First of all, it is absolutely beautiful -- in fact, the photos just can't possibly do it justice. It's a perfect combination of incredibly easy to get to -- right off the main road and a couple blocks from a fabulous beach -- and STILL totally quiet and private. The garden and patio were our favorite part... we spent almost all our time by the pool because it was just so nice to be oustide in the gorgeous weather, but basically sitting in a lovely shaded, protected "living room." There are cozy outdoor couches and chairs, a fountain in the pool, protection from the brief afternoon rains, but still outside enjoying the Florida climate. In the back, there's a little Zen garden with a Buddha fountain and two chaise lounges where I loved to sit and read. The kitchen is wonderful for cooking and visiting, and the whole house is really well maintained, spotlessly clean, and super comfortable. We walked to the beach front most nights and had surprisingly great food, enjoyed live flamenco guitar, and one night listened to a live band. There must be 30 restaurants within walking distance, and at least 5 of them are superlative (we're foodies, so that's a MUST!) I guess Fort Lauderdale used to be a big college frat spring break getaway, but now it's a really fun, clean, lively beach town. Lots of international visitors... Brazilians, French, Italians, Asians, and people from Eastern Europe. Lots of families, but plenty of young couples like us, too. We loved this vacation and plan to come back every year, no matter what!
