About this property

Charming Tropical Home - Heart of Ft. Lauderdale, Awesome Location

Come stay with us! We understand. We've traveled the globe and first-hand what travelers want when it comes to accommodation.

Imagine feeling at “home” in the center of Ft. Lauderdale. This ONE-BEDROOM plus OFFICE home is actually “half” a large South-Florida style home. (In other words - it's a duplex with a PRIVATE entrance and FENCED yard.)

It's bright, clean and spacious and has been completely renovated. Granite counter-tops and stainless appliances in the kitchen, complete with breakfast bar. New flooring through-out, large shower in the bathroom - queen-sized bed - tastefully decorated furniture. Best of all, it's comfortable.

Enjoy 'Cheeseburgers-in Paradise' in a tropical setting on the outside patio (yes bar-b-que provided). The yard is fenced for privacy. Air conditioning, high speed WIFI internet, flat screen TV (full package HDTV), off-street parking, linens and bath towels, kitchen equipped.

The location is awesome. We're in beautiful "Victoria Park", Ft. Lauderdale, Florida close to downtown and trendy Las Olas Boulevard - perfect for shopping, dining and night life. Fresh Market (groceries) is only a block away. A beautiful white sand beach is a 5-minute drive away. Enjoy the sun, swim in the turquoise-blue ocean or watch the cruise ships head out to sea.

Ft. Lauderdale is known as 'The Venice of America' with all its beautiful canals and bays - and home to some of the world's most magnificent yachts. It's an ocean lover's paradise. There's much to do - fish, sail or kite-board. Don't miss a free ride up the river on the "water taxi". Or if you’re more into land based things, visit the Museum of Art, Museum of Discovery & Science or take in a live theater performance.

Make this your home base. Rent a car and go for a couple afternoon outings. Explore Alligator Alley, visit the Seminole Indian Tribe and watch them wrestle alligators. Drive down South Beach’s famous Deco Drive and sample the Florida Keys.

When you stay with us it's like coming home. Happy travels!! Hope to host you soon...

Worst Place To Stay

Please do not stay here. The neighbor in 715 is rude and you cannot make any noise whatsoever. If you clap or talk just a little loud he bangs on the wall at 5 pm in the evening on a Sunday or any day. Then he will lie to the owner and say you are smoking marijuana in the home and it is coming into his home. The gentleman next door will lie and the owner will listen to him no matter what you say. The guy in 715 basically stays there so the owner gives him the control because he pays monthly. The owner lied and stated that he was going to move us to another home and didn’t. The man next door keeps the back porch light on 24/7 hours a day which shines right in the master bedroom at night. So if you are a light sleeper your sleep will be tossed into the trash. They prefer for you to stay in the bedroom while you are there and not use the living room to satisfy the guy next door. If you are family-oriented or just want to have a good vacation do not stay here please I promise you your vacation will be ruin. If you have children small or big do not stay here. My birthday vacation was ruined and my husband and I are not loud people. We watched football with our children on a Sunday and the guy had a problem with us clapping at 4 pm and 5 pm in the afternoon. Had to clean the home when we came it was messy with food stuck to dishes and they had just fumigated for termites. We had to sleep on one side of the bed because the frame was cracked on the left side of the bed at the bottom. STAY AWAY!!! THE WORST STAY EVER.

Fantastic Home & Wonderful Hosts

Great home in a pretty neighborhood walking distance to restaurants and stores. The house is very clean, has great space and a comfortable bed. Bring your own shower soap and shampoo or buy it locally. Bring earplugs if you're sensitive as you hear the neighbor/tv through the adjoining bedroom wall. Oh and super nice outdoor area too! I met the lovely host Shirley who is wonderful and kind! I would definitely love to stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Shirley and Boris King

Over the years my husband and I have traveled much of the globe. Being big travelers and exposed to all sorts of accommodation we know how wonderful it is to discover a place that really feels like 'home'. We think we've created this in our Vacation Rentals - and I'm happy to say our guests agree!

We love Ft. Lauderdale - perfectly named the 'Venice of America' with all it's water channels and beautiful scenery. It's sunny, warm and tropical, and has a laid back Caribbean-like atmosphere. Since we're drawn to the ocean and anything marine related its the perfect place for us.

Some of our favorite things to do:
* Go for an early morning walk along the beach...then a dip in the ocean.
* 'Friday night concerts' in our neighborhood park - (during the summer months).
* Stroll along Las Olas - and indulge.... at the frozen yogurt shop!!
* 'People watch' while sipping a glass of wine in one of the eateries on Las Olas Blvd.
* Shop for ingredients at The Fresh Market (a block away) for a patio bar-b-que.
* Boating with friends.

The things we couldn't live without are be family & friends, the ocean, travel and good food!!

Our life has been one big adventure and it keeps getting better. If you want to get to know us better - you can read about our travels. In our first book we describe our first sailing experience - crossing the Pacific Ocean to Australia with our 8 month old baby. It's called 'The Unsinkable Spirit - In Search of Love, Adventure and Riches!' Enjoy the read!

Why they chose this property

We love the location!!! We totally enjoyed renovating the property to our standards. The neighborhood is fantastic - convenient, central - only 2-miles to a beautiful white-sand beach that goes on forever. And we love to walk Los Olas Blvd (downtown). Couldn't be better.

What makes this property unique

It's oozing with charm and character. The shaded yard is full of tropical vegetation When you walk inside it's smells good!! It's squeaky clean. All appliances are new - new flooring, new furniture, freshly painted, big flat screen TV (loaded), high speed WIFI - all the comforts of home!!!
