We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, access to pool with pool toys and being so close to the beach! Added bonus was the shark tooth sifters, and yes - we found some right on Golden beach. The other beach’s were a very short drive with was great for us too. Highly recommend this rental and will definitely be back! ##### Sandra L. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Cheryl May 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Great location! Beautiful view, very nice pool. This efficency was very small but works. If i was them i would remove the corner shelves and put a dresser there. No place to put clothes except a small closet for hanging a few things! Description was not the most accurate. No bikes or kyaks to rent and no ice maker! The furniture they show is in the common room. Happy with vacation next time would get a bigger unit! ##### Cheryl Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mondrian South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Mondrian-South-Beach.h2190271.Hotel-Information) > > [W South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-W-South-Beach.h11881.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Orlando at WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Orlando-At-WALT-DISNEY-WORLD-Resort.h7374428.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Hard Rock Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Hard-Rock-Hotel.h485506.Hotel-Information) > > [Reunion Resort & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Reunion-Resort-Golf-Club.h992499.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Fort Lauderdale 17th Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-Ft-Lauderdale17th-Street.h11909.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando at Flamingo Crossings](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Orlando-Flamingo-Crossings.h58072517.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-At-The-Entrance-To-Universal-Orlando.h5398.Hotel-Information) > > [B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-B-Ocean-Resort.h5404.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach House Fort Lauderdale, a Hilton Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Hilton-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h28591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tides on Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Tides-On-Hollywood.h44524455.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Miami-Beach.h74574.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Orlando International Drive](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Orlando-International-Drive.h4262.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Margaritaville-Hollywood-Beach-Resort.h10005147.Hotel-Information) > > [Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Diplomat-Beach-Resort-Hollywood.h857779.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Miami South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Moxy-Miami-South-Beach.h55553829.Hotel-Information) > > [Walt Disney World Dolphin](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Walt-Disney-World-Dolphin.h12710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Westin-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h17159.Hotel-Information) > > [W Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-W-Fort-Lauderdale.h2335216.Hotel-Information) > > [Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Fort-Lauderdale-Marriott-Harbor-Beach-Resort-Spa.h21880.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Bahama-Bay-Resort.h1056615.Hotel-Information)
