The space You walk in and the levitating staircase stops you — it's the first thing guests photograph and sets the tone for everything that follows. Then someone finds the spiral staircase outside by the pool and takes it up to the second-floor canal deck — and that's usually when people stop talking entirely. By the time most groups reach the pool, the decision to come back next year is already made.
The Outdoor Experience
The canal-front backyard runs across two levels connected by an outdoor spiral staircase — and that's what separates this property from every other waterfront rental in the Fort Lauderdale area.
The ground level has the heated pool, the covered lanai, and the bar. The lanai is a full outdoor living room — bar seating, dining table, Smart TV, lounge seating, and a powder room, all under cover with direct canal views. Guests have watched sporting events, hosted dinners, and stayed outside well into the night here. Connect Four and cornhole are set up in the yard.
The outdoor spiral staircase from the pool deck takes you to the second level — an expansive waterfront deck with panoramic canal views, seating, and the kind of sunset perspective that guests describe as giving the most relaxing vibes they've experienced on any trip. The primary suite sliders open directly onto this deck. Morning coffee up there is something guests mention without being asked.
The heated pool is clean, warm year-round, and large enough for the whole group. A fully stocked bar cart with martini and wine glasses is ready when you arrive. Beach chairs, umbrellas, and coolers are included.
Pets are welcome.
Inside the Home
The levitating staircase on the main level is the architectural centerpiece of the interior — the first thing most guests photograph and the detail that signals everything else about how this home was designed. It leads to the upper floor bedrooms. Design details throughout that multiple guests have said left them speechless. One guest said the photos should be in magazines. Another called it like living in a castle.
The main level has an open-concept living area, billiards table, arcade machine, board games, dining room, fully stocked kitchen, one bedroom, one full bathroom, and seamless access to the pool, lanai, and outdoor spiral staircase to the second-floor deck. The upper level has the primary suite and two additional bedrooms — quieter sleeping quarters away from the entertainment areas, giving large groups the space to decompress when they need it.
The primary suite walk-in closet has been specifically called out as a standout feature — one guest said you could spend all day in there. The primary suite sliders open directly to the second-floor canal deck.
The kitchen is fully equipped for large group meals — quality cookware, full dish sets, dining table, and everything needed. Children's amenities are available — travel crib, high chair, and kid-friendly dinnerware. Laundry is available for longer stays.
Every bedroom has a 60" Smart TV. Beds are made with premium mattresses and linens.
Sleeping Arrangements — Sleeps 12
Main Level
Bedroom 1 — Queen bed, Twin trundle bed, full bathroom adjacent, 60" Smart TV
Upper Level
Primary suite — King bed, pullout sofa, ensuite bathroom, walk-in closet, sliders to second-floor canal deck, 60" Smart TV Bedroom 3 — Queen bed, Twin trundle bed, 60" Smart TV Bedroom 4 — Queen bed, Twin trundle bed, 60" Smart TV
Upper level also has a shared full bathroom serving bedrooms 3 and 4. A powder room is located in the covered lanai for outdoor convenience.
The pullout sofa in the primary suite and twin trundles in all three secondary bedrooms bring the total sleeping capacity to 12. Four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms — the ratio works well for a group this size.
All bathrooms are updated with smart bidet toilets and modern finishes.
The Details Guests Mention
The second-floor canal deck gets called out in almost every detailed review — the view from elevation, the sunset light, the way it feels completely removed from everything below. The levitating staircase inside is the first thing most guests photograph. The outdoor spiral staircase to the upper deck is the feature most groups discover last and love most. The primary walk-in closet gets its own mention in reviews. The arcade machine and billiards table have kept kids and adults occupied for full evenings.
Yechiel — an experienced traveler who has stayed at high-end hotels and resorts around the world — said Jeanine and Tom are the most responsive hosts he has ever encountered. When the pool heater needed attention, a technician was dispatched immediately and the issue completely resolved. When one group had a late check-in after another stay fell through, Jeanine was responsive from the first message and made the experience seamless.
