The Neighborhood: Fort Lauderdale is famous for its beaches, arts, culture, and events. From shopping on Las Olas Boulevard to gondola rides on the canals, to a historic riverfront, this is the "Venice of America."
The villa is located within the leafy neighborhood of River Oaks and is only minutes to all the best attractions, shopping, and dining options.
Drive only 5 minutes to a supermarket, restaurants including YOT Bar and Grill (10 min walk) that overlooks the water and a whole bunch of cafes, fast food, and bars only a 10-minute walk from your door along Marina Mile Blvd.
Just two miles north of Port Everglades, you can experience Fort Lauderdale's landscaped beachfront promenade, with its signature white wave wall and paved brick paths.
The picturesque Secret Woods Nature Center just a few minutes away is a must-visit with a Butterfly Garden, a reptile habitat, and a winding boardwalk through the trees.

Eat out at one of the 19 dining outlets and 20 bars, play in the huge casino, or shop til you drop at The Shoppes with a large retail promenade. There really is something for everyone to enjoy in the beautiful Venice of America.
Getting Around: The best way to get around the city is by car with ample parking included with your stay.
Florida's Brightline train system makes it possible to travel from Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach and Miami without a car. Each ride takes about 30 minutes and departs daily every one to three hours, depending on the direction and time of day. Services are available every day from about 5:10 to 12:50 a.m.
You can see the city by boat with a fleet of water taxis that travel along the Intracoastal and downtown's New River, stopping at 14 points of interest in Fort Lauderdale and the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort. You can hop on and off the boats all day, but the tickets are a bit pricey. Each costs $28 per adult and $14 per child.
If your destination is not near a waterway, Sun Trolley offers routes with stops downtown and along the beach, as well as on Las Olas Boulevard. All routes are free except for the Beach Link and Las Olas Link routes, which cost $1 per ride or $3 for a day pass.
For shorter trips around the city, consider reserving a bicycle through the Broward B-cycle bike-sharing program. Broward B-cycle features stations in popular neighborhoods like Central Beach and downtown, making it easy to reach the Museum of Discovery and Science, Fort Lauderdale Beach Park, and other must-see sights. Bike rentals cost $5 per 30 minutes or $50 per day.
Guests can also use a ride-share company like Uber or Lyft with plenty of cars at any time of the day or night.
Interaction with Guests: We strive to make sure your time at the villa is relaxing and enjoyable and are always available during your stay for any questions or recommendations on what to do and see in the area.

We arrived to a clean home. They had everything you would need. Toys, pool stuff, games, books, everything for the kitchen.
The property manager was very kind.
The surrounding area was questionable one way but the other way it was fine. The house is very close to neighboring homes.
This was our first time in Ft Lauderdale. We had a great time at the home.

I rented this out for a weekend with friends and it did not disappoint! The backyard is spacious and has enough seating. The location is about 15 min to the airport and about 20 minute ride to downtown, the beach, and great restaurants. Martin made sure we had everything we needed and reached out to make sure we settled in okay. There was construction going on, on our street, so Ubers were a little difficult. Other than that a great snag for any gathering. Thanks Martin!

Me and my family came to Ft. Lauderdale for Christmas but a historic cold front came through. The heat was not working and the temps were in the 40's. I called Martin around 8pm on Christmas Eve and he promptly showed up with 4 portable heaters for me and my family. Martin is truly a lifesaver and made our Christmas Eve memorable. The house was fantastic and Martin was GREAT!!

Unfortunately, This rental house was located in a neighborhood that
was undergoing replacement of the sewer system. As a result, traffic from a major thoroughfare was detoured down our street causing a constant traffic flow the first two weeks of our stay. The last two weeks there our road was closed except for heavy construction equipment and vehicles as they dug up the street. The noise from 8am to 6pm made it difficult to hold a conversation in the back yard. The continuous dog barking from next store contributed to the noise level as well. Also, the dust and dirt from this project required us to hose down the patio furniture daily and to wash our cars numerous times. The owner knew this project was planned during our stay and didn't make us aware beforehand.
Because the low temperature of the water in the pool (not heated) we were unable to use during our February vacation.
A positive, the owner did rectified our cable tv situation in a very timely manner.
