Great property!

This was an absolutely fantastic stay! Tucked in a neighborhood that has everything one may need within just a few minutes. Property was exactly as described in the listing. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms was so great for every guest to retreat to their own space at days end. The pool and outdoor area were fantastic. We spent each day grilling and dining riverside. Would 100% return!

Rented to attend daughters' college graduation

Beautiful property, great location. Exceeded expectations. Two of the showers were not draining after first time use. Texted the issue and within a short time, they were fixed. Very impressed. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

6/10 Okay

Pretty property, room for improvement.

It’s a great location with beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, there were a few things we found: there are termites running around in that hole behind the master bath (we found one in a damp towel on the floor and it ran back to the hole), there is no hot pad for cooking, there are no plastic ware for kids, there is no salt or any extra food condiments (even a drawer of extra condiments that didn’t get used helps so much), the trailer in the driveway creates challenging parking conditions, needs more glasses (? 1 wine glass), a pool heater would be ideal (we landed on chilly pool temps, i don’t think we ever saw a pool cleaner until second to last day) and the tv apps were difficult to access tv apps (bc of tv not being able to connect to WiFi). Positives: great location with beautiful view, appliances work well, 4full b/b, so many fun games for kiddos with essentially a game room. We do appreciate greatly the last minute availability and swift booking.

Great Weekend Visit

We had a great visit in Fort Lauderdale. The house was clean and very convenient to all attractions. The water access was excellent with not a lot of boat traffic in that part of the river. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Perfect vacation home!

Very comfortable home with 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a game room, pool and great outdoor space on the canal. We never had to leave, which was perfect for the times we're living in with the pandemic. Great family vacation away from home.

Beautiful tropical oasis

We loved our time there, a big plus for our group of 7 women was 4 bathrooms so we could all get ready at the same time. The canal view was beautiful and there was lots if outdoor seating. The neighborhood was safe and close to everything we needed.

Great location and views

Property was well maintained and beautiful views on the river. The pool does not receive much direct sunlight, due to large trees surrounding, but was still a decent temperature to swim in mid-October. House is in a gated community and close to many shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful ranch home located on a cul-de-sac with a large private deck on the river. Close proximity to Wilton Drive, shopping and beaches! Inside the home has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The game room has a very comfortable pull out sofa bed and private bathroom. The pool is good size but mostly shaded so water is a bit chilly. We would have enjoyed the pool more if the underwater light was working. Also in these early months the option to pay an additional fee for heating the pool would be welcomed. The code for the front door was not available when we checked in. Support was unable to provide the code, I only received it when support came to the property to charge the Nest thermostat. My week was with 5 additional family members and we were all very comfortable and totally enjoyed the property. We will definitely be returning and would stay again.
