We enjoyed our week at Pompano Beach. The cottage and grounds were immaculate. The location is perfect for the beach and dining. Elaine was a welcoming host that was extremely helpful.

The only improvement that I could suggest that is not a deal breaker is the water pressure in the shower . Thanks again Elaine.
