This is the place that defines South Florida living. Imagine yourself in a sunny residence nestled in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood just a 5-minute (two-block) walk to the beach. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a unique enclave, a throw back in time, where beach access is easy and even walking to the grocery store is convenient. LBTS is the exact opposite of the mess of massive high rises and lack of beach access you will experience in most of Fort Lauderdale. But don't worry! We are not all lazy walks and quiet beaches- we are located two streets north of the bustling Commercial Boulevard which is lined with all kinds of indoor/ outdoor dining options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks and dessert! Publix, Walgreens, Walgreens liquor and more are also just a short walk away.
At the beach, you can enjoy the beautiful sand and surf, walk the pier, fish, sign-up for water sports, snorkel or scuba-dive out to the famous nearby coral reef. You will encounter surfers, pier fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, and kite surfing right there!
We have two-units available for rent in this spacious 4000+ sq ft ranch-style duplex. Each feels like its own single family residence because they share no common walls and are separated by the garage and open space.
You don’t need a car to enjoy our charming beachfront town – everything you need for your beach vacation is conveniently located within a few steps. With beautiful white sand beaches, low-rise, family-owned hotels, shopping and many dining options, all within just a stroll.
GETTING AROUND LAUDERDALE-BY-THE-SEA
There are bike rentals and a free “around Town” Pelican Hopper bus.
People always say vacationing in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea brings back fond memories of their childhood, and our town’s motto is “Relax, You’re Here!“ for many reasons:
WE’RE A SMALL TOWN, AND WE’RE STAYING THAT WAY
We take pride in being different from our big neighbors to our north and south (Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach), exuding old Florida charm with our low-rise downtown building restrictions and predominantly mid-century modern architecture giving us a distinctive identity – and we embrace both of them as important features of our legacy and heritage.
FROM THE OCEAN TO THE INTRACOASTAL, IT’S ALL HERE
Lauderdale-By-The-Sea stretches from the Atlantic Ocean west to the picturesque Intracoastal Waterway, with beautiful marine sculptures along Commercial Boulevard. Here you will also find locally-owned and operated shops with artisan jewelry, clothing, and gift items, as well as bistro-style eateries, ice cream shops, and bakeries along the way.
ANGLIN'S SQUARE IS DESIGNED FOR YOUR OUTDOOR ENJOYMENT
Our common areas have been designed with relaxing in mind: public plazas where you sit in Adirondack chairs and chat with your friends or people watch, take pleasure in kids (and grownups!) playing the outdoor games, enjoy live music at various restaurants all year long, as well as enjoy free seasonal dance lessons outside. We have made our beach town a wonderful family-friendly experience for all ages, and know you will have a great time while here.
FLORIDA DIVING AT ITS BEST – RIGHT OFF OUR SANDY BEACHES
Recognized as “South Florida’s Beach Diving Capital,” the Town’s shoreline is a mecca for scuba divers with coral reefs teeming with marine life less than 100 yards off the beach. It’s super easy to snorkel or dive right from our sandy beach and go nose to nose with fish, turtles, and lobsters (divers walking through Town is very common here) – and of course, fishing from our historic pier over the ocean is our most iconic place to visit.
THINGS TO DO IN OUR BEACH TOWN ON AND AROUND THE WATER
We are also designated a “Blue Wave Beach,” a distinction given to clean and environmentally-responsible beach communities. You can kayak, paddleboard, skim and kiteboard right off of our beaches as well. For more leisurely activities, picnic in our seaside parks, soak up the sun on the beach, or relax poolside at your low-rise hotel with the scented breeze reminding you of just how close you are to the ocean.
We welcome you to come and relax at Eden's Reef, whether for an extended stay, a week or a weekend and experience the charm and hospitality of our little town of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea.
Eden's Reef and LBTS are simply special and we hope you are able to enjoy them in person very soon!
