Description Palm & Pinball: Fort Lauderdale

A lush tropical backyard is the beating heart of this Fort Lauderdale house – heated pool, hot tub, six sun loungers, and a screened patio with an outdoor television for when you'd rather watch a film outside. The retro-inflected living room keeps the garden mood going with big views over the greenery. When the beach does call, Fort Lauderdale's seven miles of Atlantic shoreline are a fifteen-minute drive away, and the house sends you off well – beach chairs, towels, a cooler, and an umbrella all provided.

Home truths:
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a pack and play cot, high chair, pushchair, and baby bath.
* This is a quiet residential neighbourhood well suited to families and those after a relaxed stay – multiple guests note it isn't the right base if you're planning late nights out.
* There is parking on the premises for up to four cars. On-street parking is not available in this neighbourhood – vehicles parked on the street will be ticketed and towed by the city, and parking on the lawn is also not permitted.
* The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
