We were looking for a house to rent in the Ft Lauderdale area for the month of September. We wanted a nice pool and inside entertaining space, a good location, and a quiet setting with reliable internet to facilitate working remote for the month.
This house is lovely and exactly as pictured. There are many updates throughout including updated bathrooms. The furniture is all in very good condition, the kitchen is fairly big, nicely provisioned and updated. This is a large home. The common spaces are able to accommodate a larger group if needed, and the storage is far more than ample for any renter. The cable and internet worked great and I used the media room as my office for the month. The French doors there worked out very well to allow me to concentrate on my calls during the day while others went about their day enjoying the rest of the house. The beds in all three bedrooms are comfortable, and the quiet subdivision was very nice for getting good sleep. We enjoyed the pool nearly every day of our stay. The pool was bigger than expected with depths that ran from 3 to 7 feet deep. There is a pool service that checks it and vacuums it twice a week. The plants both inside the fenced pool area and in the other parts of the yard are beautiful. Since we were there in arguably the hottest month of the year, having the pergola to provide shade to some areas was most welcome.
We found the location of this property to be perfect for our purposes. There are several grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, butcher, fish market, pharmacy, etc. very close by. It is literally just a minute or two to cross the inter coastal and reach A1A and the ocean, but you are not dealing with the traffic and noise that you would have to contend with if you stayed on the island.
The owners, April and Paul LeBlanc, wanted to make sure everything was going well and contacted us several times via text during our stay. Any questions or issues were answered or addressed very quickly. It was nice to have that personal touch from the owners even though they have a local management service for rental oversight.
