Beautiful view. Roomy. Comfortable. Private. Warm and clean pool. Excellent location. 6 minute walk to the restaurants and shops. Private parking right in front.
This was a nice property. The owner was quick to respond to the minor issues we had during our stay. The beach is so close!! We thoroughly enjoyed the pool.
Enjoyed the waterfront pool experience with the iguanas. The unit was clean and well equipped. The slider needs replaced but the kitchen door worked fine.We weren't there for the TV, but would have been nice had it been a smartTV.Overall, great experience and would stay again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The place was clean and everything worked. The backyard opens to the intracoastal so it was great just to drop a line and catch some nice Jack Crevalles and Blue Runners. The place is a few short minute walk to the LBTS pier and restaurants. Finally, the owner and the property manager were super responsive and helpful in all comms.
This property suited our expectations based on the online description. It was a quiet neighborhood with an easy walk to the beach and many restaurants. We didn’t even mind the iguanas along the canal watching us while at the duplex pool! We would consider a return trip.
Quiet street and neighborhood , easy 5 minutes walk to beach. 10 minutes to Lauderdal by the Sea walking on quiet street of El Mar. Nice quiet view of canal in backyard. Host was very communicative and place is spacious with two nice bathrooms and fully stocked kitchen with laundry available. Plenty of room for family of 4. The only thing I would change is that the pool was heated. Too cold to swim in during the winter.
Great property. Great location. The only issue we had was around the pool area area. We did end up catching small shards of glass in our feet in the pool area from something that must’ve been broken prior to our arrival.
The duplex was nice sized and close walk to the beach and shops/restaurants. Any issues that came up, Sabrina answered and quickly fixed, even on Christmas Day!! My son enjoyed fishing from the dock daily; he brought his own rod and tackle. The beach was 3 blocks away; 4 beach towels, 3-4 chairs, and some buckets were provided. Overall a nice time.
Read the reviews, it was exactly as reviewed. Some things were better than others. The pool and outside area is where we spent most of our time, which was great. The dishwasher was broken but we were told about that from the start. It wasn’t great doing all the dishes but it could be worse. The master bedroom is very warm. Overall very clean. The kitchen is very small but it worked. We think Lauderdale By The Sea was a fun area. It is small and has that old Floridian charm, enjoy.
Small improvements will make it a much better place to stay
PROs - property as described. We stayed with our daughter and 11 years granddaughter and it suited us well. 2 blocks to the beach. Nice patio with a beautiful calming view. Small pool shared with condo next door. Host responded to any of our questions right away
CONs - property was renovated but appliances, especially in the kitchen are very old - toaster, stove, coffee machine, etc.
Beach chairs and umbrella are awful, they are so old that you practically sit right on the sand.
Host did not allow for an early check in or late check out, even for an hour.
It was a first property that we have rented via VRBO that required us to send a load of various forms and documents , and provide $450.00 damage deposit even if we paid for a damage insurance. 2 weeks as we left and we are still waiting for the damage deposit to be returned.
We had a very unpleasant incident with a patio umbrella. When we checked in , patio umbrella was opened. We did not touch it, it stayed opened for the duration of our stay. One day before we had to leave was a strong wind and when we came back from a beach umbrella flew away from the table, it was on the ground, broken. We tried to close it but could not because we realized it was broken before and ropes where tied up.This is probably why it was opened in the first place, when we checked in. It also was not locked to a holder, the holder is rusty. Our host ordered a new umbrella right away but she also charged our damage insurance.

Liked: Check-in, location
Older property, great location, AC doesn't cool
Pros: the view on the intercoastal waterway is beautiful. The location to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is good. Easy walking distance to the beach and restaurants
Cons: The property is old. It looks like someone upgraded the bathrooms and floors but that is where the niceness ends. Even at that, the workmanship of the upgrades is poor. Main bath toilet did not flush. The AC did not cool. When we got there it was set at 79°. No biggie because I'm sure that they turn it up between rentals. However, even after turning it down, it did not cool. There was no air coming out of the vent in the master bedroom. After it running all night,we woke up to 77° . After taking showers in the morning, the temp went back up to 78°. Sabrina said she would have the AC guy come out to look at it between at 10a-2p. She contacted me around 1:30pm stating that the AC tech said it cooled fine. Unfortunately, it did not. I was then told that the AC would not cool any cooler than 73 degrees & that would be the case with any other property in south Florida. Not true as I have stayed at other properties in South Florida with no AC issues. We finally got it down to 74 degrees, nothing cooler. I asked what our other options were as we were not comfortable staying in a place that was not going to cool to our comfort level. She stated we could move to the other side of the duplex or get a refund. We opted for a refund. We were there less than 24 hours and she charged us for 2 nights. Overall, would not recommend.
The cottage was perfect for our 4 day R&R. It was well equipped and the two bedroom two bath layout was very nice. A quick walk to a beautiful beach, a lovely pool to laze by and an easy walk to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Would definitely return if we do another trip to Lauderdale by the Sea.
Give it 3.5 stars. Location is good. Walking distance to beach.Pool is nice with canal view. Home needs some updating. Stopped up kitchen sink that would not drain. Trash pick up was inconsistent. Having to do laundry before leaving is not what we are used too. Having everyones license to rent the prooerty is not the norm we are used too. Communication was good.
