Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Only negative is that it is on a busy street. But still very quiet. Back yard more than compensates for the street. It is a "duplex", but was never bothered by neighbors.Great location.Other than having wrong wi-fi info and entry info on checkin, everything was perfect.
Comfortable place to rest our feet after working the boat shows
Great communication from the hostess including some wonderful restaurant suggestions. We made reservations at the two she recommended and they were wonderful. Bed was comfortable. Location was not exactly what we expected. Along a busy road but it was walkable into town to get food/coffee.
While the external appearance is somewhat deceptive, this house has modern updates throughout! It was perfect for a weekend getaway and is situated in an ideal location. Only concern was that it’s off a busy street but the house was pretty quiet in spite of..
We enjoyed the proximity to a multitude of activities. Met our needs for our month long stay. Worked remote successfully. Had a few minor issues that were addressed quickly. We would definitely consider staying again.
What a cozy home and a great location. The backyard is amazingly beautiful, peaceful and green. We even made friends with a family Of ducks and iguanas while relaxing in the back. The house was clean and the beds were super comfortable. The host was very responsive. The house is centrally located to Miami and boca raton. So many great restaurants around the house including jerk machine, the Vodoo lounge, Las Vegas Cuban cuisine, little Cuban cafe, and little Havana. I would definitely recommend staying here.
We really enjoyed the stay and recommend it to anyone else coming as long as it’s just 3 people. Property was as advertised and there’s plenty of wildlife right outside the back door. I would definitely come stay again. It is not walking distance unless you’re comfortable walking 30 minutes to anything so you will need a rental car or Uber everywhere like my friend and I did. The host was pleasant through messages. Thanks for letting us stay!
Centrally located to everything. Very clean and nice bedding. On a busier road so traffic in the early, early morning can be a little loud. This is a shared unit and shared backyard. Backyard was great being on the canal and plenty of seating to relax. Great if your going down to explore Ft. Lauderdale but would t recommend if your looking for a place just to stay and relax at. It was perfect for what we needed for a few days!! Will definitely stay again!
We really enjoyed our stay, especially the riverside garden where we watched the wildlife, iguanas, ducks, parrots and more. The home is fairly close to downtown shops etc but a car is still needed.
Our difficulty with entry was the result of a mistake that was corrected. Communication was prompt.
It was a good place to stay while we were waiting to go on a cruise. The manager/host was very quick to answer our questions on our first day there, but the second day the communication was not as good when I had questions before we left but maybe something kept her from answering until after we left. The host was eager to make sure we had the item we asked for and kept stressing that if we needed anything just ask as she wanted to make sure we were taken care of. The price was also very good.
Perfect place for what we needed. Came into town to see a football game and spend a day in Ft. Lauderdale. We were cramped for time but because it’s so close to everything it was not a problem. Six minutes from the airport. We walked to Los Olas Blvd, got on and off the water taxi all day then went on the jungle queen dinner cruise at night. Took an Uber the football game. Again, short driving distance. Thank you so much for sharing your clean comfortable home with us!
I chose this VRBO because of the proximity to Las Olas and the airport and of course the beautiful views. I was not disappointed in-between running around South Florida and watching my daughter graduate FIU the property was a perfect respite and place to recharge. The beauty and privacy made me forget that the property is close to a busy street. Thank you for sharing your Oasis with us. We'll be back next year and you'll be the first property I look at. Besos.
Husband and I needed a place to stay before we left on our cruise and this place was perfect! It was clean, comfortable and in a good location. As other reviews have said it's on a busier street but the sound wasn't really bothersome. If you're a light sleeper bring earplugs. The beds were comfy and all your necessities were there plus some extra. The dock on the river was our favorite and we had a morning manatee swim by both days! It was an easy 2 mile walk to Las olas Blvd and we took advantage. Try the taco truck a couple of blocks up across from Kwik stop for sure. If you're looking for a safe, comfortable, clean place this is it.
Long Weekend Trip to attend the Tortuga Music Festival. Condo was a 12-minute Uber ride to the concert venue on F.L. Beach so if you are looking for beachside, this may not be for you. But, if you are looking to get away and explore this beautiful city (and the beach area too) this is a great spot. Condo is on the Tarpon River and close to Los Olas Blvd shopping and dining mecca and the F.L. Riverwalk. Never waited more than 5 minutes to catch an Uber. Condo was very clean. King size bed very comfortable with lots of storage for your things if you are staying more than a few days and wish to unpack. With all the restaurants around, no need for cooking, but if you do so, kitchen had everything you needed. Publix close by for anything additional. Bathroom clean, spacious shower. Clean towels provided and YES, hot water was bountiful. AC worked well keeping the condo cool. I listed amenities at a 4 rather than 5 only that there was no washer/dryer in the unit, but you may have had access. (For me a big deal as I am on vacation and laundry can wait.) Not sure of lake view but a beautiful river view with a dock and Adirondack chairs perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktail. Carport (not garage) parking provided which was great as we did rent a car. Condo certainly big enough for 2 couples or family of 4. And felt very safe staying here. Met owner as we were checking out, extremely pleasant and happy to hear we enjoyed our stay.
