We are close to everything!!! A one minute walk from the Cottage is a small market restaurant and social gathering place that serve meals, coffee and a huge selection of imported beers.
Its just a short walk to the Museums, Performing Art Center, restaurants, bars and cafes on 2nd street and the intercostal, where you can hop onto the water taxi and find your way around by boat to the beach. The Cottage is on a quiet residential street surrounded by oaks in a historic downtown neighborhood, We are also within a few blocks of public transit and less than a mile to Tri Rail, which is our local train that takes you from Ft. Lauderdale to the airports and Miami or West Palm Beach. We are also just about 15 minutes away from the Fort Lauderdale airport.
Ft. Lauderdale is known as "The Venice of America" with all its beautiful canals and bays and is home to some of the most magnificent yachts in the world. It's a marine lover's paradise. There's much to do - fish, sail or kiteboard. Or if you’re more into land based things visit the Museum of Art, Museum of Discovery & Science or take in theater performance.
