About this property

Fantastic Vacation House on Private Lake in Fort Lauderdale

This great vacation house is situated on a private lake in Fort Lauderdale; the view from the back is of the lake and unrestricted. The house is located in a residential neighborhood; however, other houses in the area are not permitted to use the lake. It is a unique location in South Florida. You may fish at the lake. The house is fully furnished, arrive with your suitcase for a great vacation, everything else is provided. 10 mins from Fort Lauderdale Airport, 15 mins from the beach, 5 mins from Las Olas and downtown. It's the perfect spot to enjoy South Florida. If you wish, you also have the option to reserve water ski lessons. We operate a water ski school on the lake (located well away from the house), but you can see the skiers out on the water from your home as you enjoy breakfast or relax by the pool.

Imagine a place where nearly any activity is available and is served up with sunshine. Fort Lauderdale is a world-class destination. From luxury mega yachts to high-performance speedboats, stretch limousines, sports cars, and the finest resorts to multi-million dollar estates, South Florida has the beauty and adventure that truly belongs in the movies.
Looking for a relaxing lunch? With some 3,000 restaurants, you can dine on a distinct cuisine at every meal. If the beach is calling, you will easily find a spot with more than 23 miles of sand and surf and the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean. If diving is more your forte, you will find 73 artificial reefs. Fort Lauderdale is the wreck dive site capital of the United States.

There are over 12 shopping malls and over 1,000 specialty retail shops. You can find everything you want from the finest merchandise to the bargains of the flea markets.
If it is culture you seek, you will be surprised at the array of museums and galleries displaying fine art. Performing art venues offer wonderful performances of all kinds, from ballet to rock bands.
South Florida is a beautiful area, you will see many kinds of wildlife from parrots flying through the skies to alligators in the Everglades to the turtles laying their eggs on the beach, you will be in awe of the spectacular wildlife in our area.
You will be amazed and enchanted by our beautiful city. There is something here for everyone!

Had a great stay! Accomodations are dated but clean and has everything you could need. The yard is very private with a great pool area. The lake offered hours of shore fishing. And best of all the property is close to everything from Hollywood up to Pompano.

It was a shame you had 4 days of rain and gale force winds otherwise the pool would have stayed clean and leaf free, as it was when you arrived. Thanks for staying.

This is an older home but it is VERY CLEAN, so you feel very comfortable and can just relax. Some VRBO's are very fancy and you feel like you might break something. Ann is caring and communicated well with us. The house and family has an interesting history. We had a great time and will stay again when we are in the area.

Great stay!

What a relaxing get away, can’t beat the view and privacy! Lots of amenities provided, which was a welcomed surprise! My only advice is to remember you’re staying by a lake in Florida… don’t be like me and forget that comes with bugs. Other than a few jumpscares from nature, this was a perfect stay!

Wonderful stay!

My family and I loved our stay here! If anything, the pictures and description are modest compared to how lovely the home is! The pool was so refreshing and clean and the lake was incredible. There were so many friendly lizards, iguanas and birds around the property that were so fun to watch! The screened in porch area was always well shaded and cool. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels for use. The sunsets shown in the pictures are nightly! We couldn’t be happier with our stay. Thank you!!

Very comfortable property with excellent facilities

The first bonus was how close and easy it was to get here from FLL airport. The arrival instructions were excellent. The private pool and hot tub overlooking the lake add a touch of luxury and there was everything you could want in the kitchen and elsewhere including pool toys. Ann was really helpful and responsive to any questions. This was a great base for exploring south Florida.
