Unique Benefits
Make yourself at home at The Artist's Loft. Everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation is included, (beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, cooler) and you're only a 3-minute walk directly to the beach path which includes showers for rinsing off after a salty day at the beach. Within walking distance are most of the best restaurants in Delray including Cafe Luna Rosa, 50 Ocean (which overlooks the beach and ocean), or the Sand Bar (across from the beach) where you can enjoy cocktails under the Tiki Bar. When you need a night to rest, you'll be comfortable in this Artist / Owner's condominium that features her artwork and works of art she has collected on her many journeys around the world. Watch the Smart TV in the living room or in the Master Bedroom. Read a book on the front porch, or in the private lounge/office area. Get a great night's sleep in either of the two bedrooms with high-quality furniture and comfortable queen mattresses. Make your own coffee and breakfast, or a fabulous dinner in the fully equipped "Gourmet Kitchen". Now you can't do that in a hotel room!
Why Kids Love It
My condo is not suitable for toddlers.
Area Information
Delray Beach is unique from other beach towns north and south of Ft. Lauderdale, FL because there are no high-rise buildings on the beach. Only natural beauty abounds - thus our "Blue Flag" distinction. Spend the day by the water's edge swimming in the warm water, and dine "al fresco" in the evening on "The Avenue", Delray's main street with shops, galleries, restaurants, and bars with live music. Nearby you'll find some of Florida's best ocean-side golf courses, both 9-hole and 18-hole; the Morikami Japanese Gardens, Loxahatchee wetlands, The Norton Museum of Art, and Boca Raton Museum of Art, to name only a sampling. Named "Best Village By The Sea".
Attractions Within Walking Distance
THE BEACH! Did I mention this is a 3-minute walk to the beach? :-)).
Just before you reach the beach you'll find the Sandoway Discovery Center where they have a Shark pool and other creatures from the ocean. Daily shark feedings are amazing to watch!
Also, a great little mini-golf course called "Puttin Around" is nearby - better to take a golf-cart style taxi unless you'd like a 15-20 minute walk there. They have a full-service bar, excellent music, and you can have your cocktails brought right to the green! Loads of laughs and fun.
Newly opened Delray Marketplace is within a 10-15 minute walk and features street food venders, a gallery, and other delights - all within walking distance from The Artist's Loft.
Favorite Places To Eat
Delray really has so many great restaurants! I'd recommend (within walking distance) Cafe Luna Rosa (authentic Italian), 50 Ocean (for the happy hour - older crowd), J&J Seafood (just over the Intracoastal bridge), Dada (an eclectic menu, and outdoor dining under the trees) Racks (seafood, great happy hour, $$$), Tramonte (Italian $$$$). Too many more to list!
Inside Scoop
Bedner's Market. This is a 5 minute drive from The Artist's Loft, and is the place to shop for your fresh veggies, salads, Bo-Go wines, freshly baked bread, seafood, and organic meat offerings. Great prices, fresh local and seasonal fruits and veg - a must if you like to cook!

About the owner: Hello there! I'm a landscape artist, an oil painter, former international teacher. I grew up in the lakes region of New Hampshire, and there is where my love of nature was born.
In The Artist's Loft you'll find original paintings of mine as well as art that I have collected over the years of traveling.
I am retired now, and I'm enjoying having the time to paint and cook. I love being in nature, bird watching, Jazz, and most all styles of music. A little-known fact about me: I used to play the alto saxophone because I love jazz music, but I give it up in order to spend more time painting. :-)
Why this property? You have direct access to one of the few beach paths right at the end of the street that leads to the ocean. Getting around is fast and easy by foot or you can try the golf-cart style free taxis that will pick you up and drop you off right in front of the house. Convenient to both Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) in 30 minutes, Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL) in 45 minutes, and Miami International Airport (MIA) in 1 hour 15 minutes. You can rent "street legal" golf carts, bicycles, and boats nearby. I strive to make your beach vacation as relaxing and comfortable as possible and provide beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and a cooler for your use. The Artist's Loft has a newly designed "Gourmet" kitchen with granite countertops, a ceramic cooktop, and everything you need to make a fantastic dinner for yourselves when you don't feel like going out. There is a free designated parking space right in front of the building and a washer/dryer inside the unit. The property accommodates 4 people, with two ensuite bedrooms that are private from each other. There are only 6 units in the building over two floors (3/3), with a private entrance off of a screened-in porch. Also, there is a comfortable office/lounge room with plenty of natural light for remote working. Did I mention you can walk to the beach in 3-5 minutes and to the lively downtown in 10 minutes?!
