You'll find this breezy home in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. It's part of a gated community and sits just an eight-minute stroll from the beach. Want to save some time? Rent a golf cart or some bicycles and blaze a trail straight to the ocean. Back home, a private pool is a sweet bonus – we're big fans of the tanning shelf – while the open-plan living area has more than enough space for the whole group. It's filled with light, has a fun-filled games room, and features all the contemporary comforts you'll need – a carefree stay, indeed.

Home truths:
*This is a single-level home.
*The pool is on the smaller side, and more suitable for a quick dip rather than swimming laps. It’s also unfenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times.
*There's on-site parking available here. While the beach is within walking distance, we suggest hiring a car if you plan to explore further afield.
*Your host provides beach gear you're welcome to use. This includes four beach chairs, a cooler, and a beach cart.
*You need to be at least 25 years old to rent this home.
