We loved our stay in this home! Very nice and the pool was great especially for the kids! It is in a good location- 20 mins from airport, 9 mins to Lauderdale by the Sea, and 5 mins to Publix. Vincent was great and checked in on us during our stay. Highly recommend!

It was pretty good

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Generally, we enjoyed our stay here. The host was responsive and the amenities were great. The neighborhood was also nice and quiet wjile still being close to the highway to access other places. My only challenge was that I wish some of the issues were dealt with prior to our arrival. The most distracting of these was the lawn care which started (loudly) first thing in the morning. Once it was done, the lawn looked great.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was super cute for our girls trip of 6. We slept comfortably and everything was so nice and clean. The perfect pool setup, and outdoor seating areas, and even had extra floats. Everything was thought of, including beach towels, all needed kitchen supplies, extra laundry soap. It was only a 10 minute drive to the beach and cute shops. The host was quick to respond to any questions, and kept us informed of anything we needed. I would 100% recommend this property.

Great Getaway!

Family of three, all 18 and older stayed for several days and everything was great, just as advertised. The three bedrooms were clean and well decorated. Beds were comfortable, no back pain! The rain head shower in the Master Bath was exceptional! Great pressure and water temp. The backyard stole the show for me! Four general areas to relax and chill was excellent! The pool water was warm and very relaxing to float and swim about in. Great stay & would come back!

Relaxing little bungalow in a quiet neighborhood

We had such a wonderful and relaxing time in this professionally decorated home. Ever little detail was thought of, right down to all the cooking essentials. Vincent was on the ball, checking with us frequently, but not too much. Only suggestion, needs a Keurig (we love our coffee ;) And, TV streaming was slow (probably needs a WiFi extender). Plan on returning next year!

Home away from home!

My family and I just spent 3 weeks in this beautiful home. We cannot say enough about it. The grounds are beautiful, a real resort feeling. We did not get lucky with the weather to fully appreciate them. The kitchen is fully equipped. They thought of everything. If I have one suggestion, it would be to get more dishes. We were 6 and there was a set of 8 and we ran the dishwasher often. Vincent, the property manager, was a gem. He checked in regularly, to make sure all was good. Checkin and checkout were seamless. Location was excellent, close to everything including the beach. An excellent experience! we would definitely return.

Comfortable Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The vacation rental was in a nice area. Finding the home was pretty easy. My family and I got in late but the check in was seamless, this was just what we needed after a long day of traveling with kids. The neighborhood is peaceful and seems very safe: which is what we are used to. I appreciated the security system, especially for doors leading to the pool. The home itself was modern and clean; it looked just like the photos. The kitchen has everything we use at home; there was never an instance where we had to search for anything. The bedrooms were spacious enough for our family needs. We also appreciated the second sitting area to relax when the kids wanted to watch TV in the living room. There are lots of clean towels for guest and the pool. The pool was heated & there were pool floats and beach chairs etc. The kids couldn't get enough of the pool. There is a laundry room which came in useful as we do not like packing up dirty clothes. The host are also very courteous and responsive. Overall we had a good stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely, clean house, perfect size for family of four, 2 adults/2 teens. Yard was very spacious. Pool was large and perfectly temperature. We’ll stocked kitchen, most things brand new. Our only challenge was operating the tvs, couldn’t really watch regular tv: news or basketball game, internet kept going out. Thankfully we downloaded some movies in advance to watch, really would prefer some basic cable (something other than Netflix) for some background noise or a even music channel. Overall we had a lovely time and thankfully weather kept us in the pool @ away from tv. We hope to visit again.
