Poolside #8 #8 Heated Pool, Large Yard, 1BR+sunroom/office

• 
  The pool is huge -- 20x40' (6x18m), but it is also very deep. It's a saltwater pool, so you don't get the chemical smell you get from regular pools.
• 
  Kids love the play set!
• 
  Note the bedside power and USB hubs on both sides.
• 
  True king-size bed with mattress measuring 76x80"
• 
  We love our couch from Article, but it's just a couch. It's not a sofa bed.
• 
  The kitchen is equipped for real cooking with real non-stick pots & pans and sharp knives. None of the Ikea junk you see in a lot of vacation rentals!
• 
  Our cleaners do a pretty good job, but if you are looking for perfect, this might not be the right choice for you.
• 
  One small step up from outside
• 
  Just inside the front door you enter the sunroom (desk, office chair, and single bed on the left, and dining table on the right).

•

• 
  If you have allergies or asthmas or are very sensitive to smells, this probably isn't the right choice for you.
• 
  Just 4.9 miles driving to the Fort Lauderdale Beach parking lot.
• 
  There are lots of grocery shopping options close by.
• 
  It's actually less than 1 mile walking to the airport fence. If we were any closer, you'd hear the planes taking off.

This is an old house and the unit is on the ground floor. Bugs are a constant battle in Florida. You may encounter some during your stay. We exterminate using traps, bait, sprays, and fumigation. There is bug spray on the top shelf in the kitchen cabinet furthest from the sink. If you need us to come and exterminate, we can send someone Monday through Saturday (Sundays are more difficult).
