Spacious 5-bedroom house with panoramic ocean views in fabulous Fort Lauderdale

This property is everything advertised

I booked this property to have a house right across from the beach, plenty of patio/deck space, and a small pool. We had two couples and three 18 yr olds.The pictures of the property are accurate. The beach is literally across the street.The owner is very responsive to messages. We arrived earlier than expected, and he allowed us to get in almost an hour early. On the back end, our flight was delayed, and he granted us a late check out of 5pm. He didn't have to do either, but was very accommodating. The past reviews did mention some leaks. The back alley needs better drainage by the laundry room. The water pooled outside and seeped thru door. Also above the TV in the main family room, there is a spot with water damage that did leak as well, but we threw a bucket under it and caught it all.This was the biggest problem, but we got a LOT of rain. If the weather was better, there wouldn't have been an issue.There is construction going next door as there a new house being built.However, the house is very unique, and tons of space. Everyone had their own room, and all agreed beds were pretty comfortable. There are three levels of patios. The bottom is huge, and the small pool is good for just cooling off. The entire top of the house is accessible, and we enjoyed spending time up there at night. The beach, right across is so easy.Overall, I think 4 is fair, but could have been a 5 without the leaks and a better washing machine.
