this is a very small property, there isn't a pool but it has a very small courtyard. It is very close to the beach, great location and walking distance to the popular beach area of Fort Lauderdale. It wasn't as clean as I had hoped, but it was just for one night before flying home from a week's cruise. It met our needs, but don't think I would enjoy staying there for a long period of time with no real area to hang out.
