Prepare yourself for a land and sea voyage that rivals the most eloquent cruise ship.  We have prepared for your reservation as though you are, indeed, royalty if only for a week or two. Your port will be the swankiest part of Fort Lauderdale Beach . Close enough to the water to imagine that an ocean swell might occasionally bathe the premises, but safely tucked away from beach road traffic. Close by, a bejeweled necklace of road ways and interstate highways whisk you from the International Airport to a courtyard of fantastic restaurants and shopping boutiques.

Upon entering the “Crown Princess of the Sea,” you will be greeted by house royalty - yourselves, of course - reflected in a towering mirror. Capture those smiles on camera. It will be your faces throughout your stay…. the happiest of face lifts that might last a lifetime. To your immediate left, you will pass the “Growl Room” with a tiger skin motif and a room-sized entertainment center where comfortable recliner s await to relax you swathed in soft oversized blankets. To add to the room’s mystique, we have pre-loaded the DVD with the incomparable Andrew Lloyd Weber’s “Phantom of the Opera.” Play it again and again. The rivulets of music – not to mention soaring crescendos - will trickle from your heart to your toes. In the vase, are red roses. Take one. Clinch it and gently growl...or if you prefer...purr ! The entrancing “Growl Room” offers unsurpassed romantic interludes … or for the kids … a safari into deepest, darkest Africa .  Yet, more, the “Growl Room” offers a surprise that will likely evoke glee from discothèquers.

The marbled gourmet kitchen is just steps away equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and cookware perfect for food preparation and presentation. The eight-place dining table with high-back seating makes eating in style and comfort a surety.  In line of sight, the living room with draperies of imported Italian brocaded materials adjoins the dining area. The first floor is completely open offering a panorama of original eclectic art and oversized mirrors for, ahem, royal preening.

The living room opens to the informality of outdoor living complete with an azure pool and BBQ grilling. The patio captures fluffy cumulous cloud- framed sunlight for most of the day. Tan slowly, not quickly (Remember, you have a “Growl Room”).

Up the marbled stairs--highlighted by ocean-view contoured windows, a Phantom like sparkling chandelier and tree-sized plants--another reclining area with plasma television provides a chandeliered portal to tasteful bedrooms all with separate baths and private 37-inch TVs.  But, ahh, for the most royal of nobility, experience the master bedroom featuring a four-poster bed and a room-sized bathroom with Jacuzzi,  enclosed high-volume  shower,  bidet and, of course, an expansive mirror and plasma TV.

Forever mindful of creature comforts and vacation serenity, we have preloaded “A Gift of the Sea” DVD, a Wayne Gratz piano and ensemble that lulls good people with good thoughts into dreamland as they sink deeper into the soft mattress.

But WAIT!  Before giving up a glorious day, repose for awhile on the spacious marbled deck – maybe with a favorite nite cap in hand - and take in the beauty of the beach, ocean and young lovers who flick the sand to punctuate exchanged endearments. Good will and romance is in the air everywhere.

Your majesties … we hope to see you and greet you soon.
