    Excuse me for posting this in the wrong section of this forum...

    I will be moving to Ft. Lauderdale in a fortnight to work with a company in the yachting industry (superyachts). I was wondering what my options are for cheap, yet comfortable, accomodation in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Obviously as close to 17th street as possible.

    Is Smart-Move any good? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I have seve3ral suggestions for you - Smart Moves is not one of them.
    Call Nancy Sherwood @ (954) 779-2568. She has a nice cottage for rent and lots of contacts that are worth knowing, plus job leads.
    also, I have 2 beds for rent in my second bedroom, there is currently a chef renting in that room, but if you don't mind sharing... $125/week for a bed, nice little house, good location, and I can help with job leads.
    If you want to be on 17th St. STAY OUT OF FLOYD'S! there are a couple of really nice places owned by D.J. Parker ( think that's her name) I don't have her number on hand,but I can dig it up. Her places are really really nice, but you pay more for them. Oh yeah and there's a house on US1 near 17th that has space open - kinda a party house, but good digs in close proximity to everything you need.

    Smart Move

    I'm a captain on a motoryacht with a crew of 4. Last year we stayed at a house on Andrews Ave that was managed by Smart Move, during a month long haulout. I would have to say that it was a good expirience overall. The house was very clean and well kept. Also very comfortable, with sattelite TV and even a decent stereo. It wasn't cheap but it was much less expensive than the 2 hotel rooms we would have had to have rented otherwise. I would recomend them without hesitation.
