You are welcome, hope it is a good trip for you. Will you be renting a car? If so, you may want to hit more spots than just Ft. Lauderdale. If you like waves Ft. Pierce and Jupiter about 1 1/2 and 1 hour north respectively can be very nice. Delray Beach about 45 minutes north of Ft. Lauderdale has smaller waves and a fairly large unguarded beach area for kiting. Then there is LBTS and Pompano about 10 to 20 minutes north of Ft. Lauderdale with riding areas you may want to checkout. In South Florida usually you need to stay at least 100 yards away from guarded beaches. This can reduce your riding options particularly in Ft. Lauderdale and some points south. Anyway, you may want to do a run to the Florida Keys for some flat water kiting. Also the wind is usually about a few knots stronger down there when the wind is on. There is no assurance there will be rideable wind but with luck there will be. Also, if you are renting a car, where you stay becomes less critical and you can find a better value for your money. For rental homes I would checkout these two sites:

If you aren't renting a car, then finding a rental home for a reasonable price in Ft. Lauderdale near the beach will become less likely. You may want to consider a different city, although the price often goes up the closer you are to the ocean in many areas. Otherwise I would look at rentals in Deerfield, Pompano Beach, Ft. Lauderdale and Dania in inland areas to reduce the price.
