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.

Yes...Stay away from Floyds.
I have just built a million dollar home in Ft. Lauderdale specifically for crew
And only $160.00 a week per person.
I am a yacht chef myself and I have stayed in some really bad
crew houses in my time.
I decided if I ever made it big, I'd build a crew house that
people would love to stay in. They're calling it the
Hilton of all crew houses. You walk into a Great Room, open
to the second floor with a curving staircase.
Very close to 17th st. Right next door to Crew Unlimited
4 blocks from Crew Finders
NOT A PARTY HOUSE and VERY CLEAN
