This condo is absolutely perfect for a family wanting to stay near the beach. The location to the beach and shopping is perfect. The three spacious rooms and three bathrooms were immaculate! The laundry area was great and there are lots of toys and beach chairs to use. The condo is very quiet, we didn't hear any street noise. We would definitely stay here again for sure!

Great location, spacious, nice touches inside and out--very pleasant outdoor space and a nicely equipped kitchen. The hosts were great with clear communication and their hospitality.Thankfully no noise disturbance despite the central location (the unit does not face nearby traffic)--what a pleasant surprise to not have that typical tradeoff!I highly recommend any chance to enjoy a stay here!

Great location, cute place

We had a wonderful stay in your home at Lauderdale by the Sea! The house was just as listed and the owner was great with communication. The beach chairs were awesome to have and it was so easy to get to the beach. The wagon and cooler weren’t available but the owner dropped by a new cooler as soon as we told him it was missing. We loved the location just steps away from great restaurants and fun shops! We would stay here again.

EXCEPTIONAL!

Though we were sadly in town for a funeral, the time spent at the property happily took some of the sadness away. To say you are close to the beach, and restaurants/shops area is an understatement. Everything is RIGHT NEXT DOOR. A pristine and comfortable property, very conscientious hosts, easy parking and check-in, cannot say enough positives. We plan on staying here again.

Wonderful vacation

Our family of 6 stayed here for 10 wonderful days. When we arrived there was a welcome basket, which was very much appreciated. Everything was perfect. The house was clean, and all basic necessities were there from bathroom supplies to beach items. A really nice front yard where you could enjoy the sun, read a book or have a meal. Near to both the beach and restaurants. The rental process was very smooth, from first contact until departure. We got a lot of help and useful tips from Jan and Tom that we very much appreciated. Thank you for a wonderful vacation! Regards from Sweden

Absolutely fantastic!

This property was everything we hoped it would be. The managers were very helpful throughout the booking process. We vacationed for a week in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, 2 couples in one house and it turned out to be the best for all of us. The home is super-clean and the beds are very comfortable. The house is so quiet we couldn't even hear our friends in their room showering in the morning. We used the BBQ and had breakfast on the picnic table in the back and started and ended each day on the patio. We needed to do a load of laundry and everything was right there. We also were very happy with the area. After our daily excursions we knew we could come back home, have happy hour on the patio and walk about 3 minutes and have our choice of more than a dozen restaurants for dinner. Not to mention the beach right down the lane. We would definitely recommend this property and we've talked about making this an annual trip so we'll definitely be back!

Wonderful location

Such a wonderful location. The property is within walking distance to the beach, shopping, and several bars and restaurants. Enjoyed walking to an Italian cafe every morning for pastries and lattes. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive to questions. The unit comes with everything you need for the beach....cooler, chairs, umbrellas, and beach towels. The beach chairs were in excellent condition! Small laundry room next to unit with laundry soap. The weather was terrible while we were there (25 inches of rain in a rare weather event). Thankful we had a nice place to stay during the storm. The courtyard was very nice and surprisingly quiet. I thought with the main road outside the gate we would hear the noise, but not the case. Overall a great place to stay especially if you like being able to walk around Lauderdale by the Sea. If you like Sunday brunch The Blue Moon Fish Company is a 5 minute walk and one of the best!

Perfect location, 2 blocks from beach

We had an unexpected trip to South Florida due to a family funeral. There were 5 adults in our group, including 2 couples and one single. This 3 bedroom unit was absolutely perfect. Having not only 3 bedrooms but also 3 en suite bathrooms for each bedroom ensured that each person had the room they needed as well as some privacy during this difficult few days. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed and there was a public grocery store close by to pick up any supplies. While the unit had plenty of space for all of us, We spent the majority of every waking moment sitting out on the outdoor patio space... Drinking our morning coffee, eating meals out on the table and enjoying evening conversations at the end of the day. The beach front is literally just around the corner and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. Although it can be a busy area with tourists especially during the day, We felt very safe in this community and enjoyed the privacy of the patio immensely. Jan, the owner was very responsive to any questions or inquiries. Having never been to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, we would absolutely rebook this unit and recommend.

4/5 Stars – Great Location, a Few Misses

I recently stayed at this property and overall, it was a good location with a few areas for improvement.The 3 positives: location, location, location!The location is fantastic—just a short stroll to the beach, shops, and dining. You truly can't beat the convenience for the price point. It's a great value for anyone looking to enjoy this charming beach town without breaking the bank.The not-so-great:A few things detracted from the stay:One major issue was the smell of marijuana coming from a neighboring unit with their door wide open. Since you have to pass this unit to get to the rented unit, it was hard to avoid. I informed the owner but asked them to disregard, as I didn’t want any tension with the neighbor during our stay. The owner later mentioned that the neighbor "indulges sometimes," which would’ve been helpful to know upfront.The welcome sign had the wrong name listed, which felt impersonal and a little confusing upon arrival.The sheets, while they did smell laundered, were noticeably stained. I reached out, and the owner explained that the cleaning crew isn't always careful about removing stained linens. That transparency was appreciated, but again—something that could be improved ahead of guest arrivals.If management tightens up a few details—especially around cleaning standards and guest prep—this property could easily go from good to great.

Comfortable and close to the Action

We had a group of six adults. The layout of the unit was great- three bedrooms each with their own bathroom. At our ages sharing a bathroom can be problematic! Kitchen was well equipped, excellent notes and a lovely snack basket! Easy walk to the beach and some great restaurants. We were very happy with this place.

Great location

The location was perfect, close to the beach and restaurants. We were able to walk everywhere and hardly needed a vehicle. We loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom too. There was a welcome basket that had goodies in it which was great on our 1st day since we had not went to the grocery store yet. The owners were very accommodating. The fact that they had beach towels, beach umbrellas and chairs was a huge plus. There was also a washer and dryer with detergent provided. They definitely thought of every detail. We will be back. This is great for people traveling by air since you can’t bring these amenities with you.

Ft Lauderdale by the Beach

We enjoyed our stay. The apartment was extremely well provisioned in the kitchen and the bathrooms. The apartment was very clean. Access was very good. Would have liked to face the beach, but we knew we wouldn’t when we selected this rental. But a good location with easy beach access and a variety of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. Enjoyed the cappochinos at the Italian coffee shop and highly recommend the Blue Moon restaurant on the intracoastal waterway. Had minor issue with the internet on arrival (modem was unplugged) but had no trouble contacting the owner who easily directed me to the location of the modem. The rental process was easy, friendly and well-managed. The A/C in the unit was excellent. Beach towels and a cooler were even provided.
