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.

Short 3 day stay

Lovely property in a great location. Only 10-15 minutes from most areas in Fort Lauderdale. Could have stay longer if we didn’t need to fly back to Scotland. Perfect for 6-8 adults.

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 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!

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.

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.
