    A big thank you to the host Jane who was incredible. So helpful, responsive and really went above and beyond. The apartment is perfect, everything you need, like a little home away from home. The location is great, it’s quiet and in a beautiful neighbourhood full of stunning houses. It is 8-10mins drive to the beach, we chose to walk back some days as it’s such a lovely walk and takes around 50mins-1hr. 8-10mins to the downtown area with shops, restaurants and river walk.

    For the neighborhood (Ritz Carlton, Westin, Hilton) this 2 star hotel is kinda jewel in the dark. GEt some complimentary beach chairs and sun lotion, cross the street and enjoy the beach, grill your lunch... couln't ask for more. The newly redesigned terrace is a great sum to the place. Casablanca Cafe is a nice side spot (live music building a lovely atmosphere). CLose to Las Olas boulevard if you want to keep rolling.

    We stayed for 17 nights at the Designer River View Apartments with the whole family of four. We had an appartment with a good view of the river with boats passing by every view minutes. After our daytrips we jumped into the clean pool. The communication with our hosts was uncomplicated and always pleasant.
