Some homes make you drive to the coast. Poinciana just about drops you on it. Tucked a single block off Ocean Drive in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, this two-level townhome lets you bring up to two dogs along for the trip and puts the beach, restaurants, groceries, and everyday essentials within easy walking distance — so flip-flops are really the only footwear you’ll need all week. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea has managed to hold onto its old-Florida charm — low-rise buildings, a barefoot pace, and a stretch of coastline locals call the beach diving capital of the state, thanks to a coral reef just offshore. Walk toward the water and you'll land near El Prado Park, where a paved beach portal makes getting sand-side easy even with kids, coolers, or a wagon full of towels in tow. From there, Commercial Boulevard unspools with the town's best people-watching: grab coffee and watch the sunrise at Aruba Beach Café, wander the shops and boat benches of Anglin's Square, or post up at Anglin's Fishing Pier for an evening cast. When the sun goes down, Ocean Mist Pub is right there for a nightcap. Inside, the home sleeps six across two bedrooms, each outfitted with a plush queen bed and its own smart TV — a third lives in the living room, so nobody has to negotiate remote control custody. The kitchen is genuinely built for cooking, not just reheating: a Samsung range, Whirlpool fridge, KitchenAid dishwasher, and enough glassware, a Pyrex baking dish, and even a pizza wheel to pull off a real family dinner or a low-key happy hour on the dining table. Coffee, tea, toast, and smoothies are covered each morning, too. Rainy afternoon or lazy in? A stash of board games is ready to go. And when the beach calls, grab the camp chairs and a stack of towels provided on-site, and you're set up in minutes. Guests also have access to a basketball court, tennis court, and playground across the street, giving families and groups even more ways to spend time outside. Central heat and air keep things comfortable no matter the forecast, whether you're a family stretching out for a week or a few couples splitting the space for a long weekend by the water. AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we're at your service! Take a ride on Fort Lauderdale’s Water Taxi and explore canals and inland waterways to see for yourself why the city earned its nickname, “Venice of America”. If you need another reason to spend your time outdoors, the city’s famous waterfront promenade along the sandy Atlantic coastline is one of the area’s most alluring draws. From boating and windsurfing to snorkeling and deep-sea fishing, there’s never a dull moment here. This is just as true in town where party bikes and foodie tours along Los Olas Blvd invite visitors to get a taste (and sip) of the best of the area’s culinary and bar scene. Cheers!
