Just 20 minutes to the east is the beautiful Atlantic Coast beaches. Spend the day walking the boardwalks, riding bikes, walking the long stretch of sandy coastline. At night have dinner, buy a bag of chocolates and walk one of many shop lined streets like our favorite Las Olas Boulevard, Downtown Hollywood, Downtown Delray and Downtown Deerfield.

Davie is ideally located among major thoroughfares such as the Turnpike, I-595, I-75, and is within a few minutes travel to the Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades (Cruises).

Great stay close to the Hard Rock

Came to Davie for a concert at the Hard Rock Hotel. The house is well appointed, very clean and hosts were friendly and welcoming. Traveled with my wife, baby and our two dogs. We would stay here again when in the area.

A great place to stay!

My husband and another couple stayed here while we checked out the Everglades. This place was so convenient to everything we wanted to do and many good restaurants. The owners were very friendly and very willing to help with any questions.This place had everything you could possibly need while here. The yard was very beautiful and peaceful.. The pool was very comfortable to be in and offered privacy.If we return to the area in the future, I would not stay anywhere else. We all highly recommend staying here.

Amazing & Beautiful Property & The Hosts were even better

I recently attended the Eras Tour in Miami and rented a property for my sister and friends. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to accommodate us. They provided a link for transportation options to the stadium and even offered to drive us if we encountered any issues getting there.

Perfect stay for me and my two kids

James was so responsive and the property was impeccably clean and great to crash at the end of a boisterous day with my kids. I cannot think of a single issue we had with the house the entire time we were there, and my kids were thrilled from the first moment we arrived. Full size washer and dryer were an extra plus for us since it was hot out, and the kids were swimming every day, so we did quite a bit of laundry while we were there. We will definitely be staying again!

Tucked-Away Paradise

This particular Garden Home was a paradise-- a place that I would dream about after viewing it in a magazine. Jim and Denise are the perfect hosts. They are helpful and gracious-- yet humble at the same time. They did not miss a thing as far as meeting guests' needs. We will definitely stay here again.

We stayed after a New York Trip for 1 week in this beautiful Garden Home. The house was very clean and all what you need is available. The kitchen is full equipped, the bathrooms offers you shower gel, shampoo and hand soap and also hair dryer, tooth paste and mouthwash. There are more than sufficient towels available. The beds are very comfortable. We enjoyed the garden, pool, whirlpool and bar, this is a paradise! The garden and pool area are equipped with mosquito repellents to feel free for your safety use, sun screen are also available. Jim and Denise are always welcome to you and they are very kindly, friendly and helpful hosts, any requests you have they will solve. We will come back! Thank you for being there!

Wow.....we didn’t want to leave!!

Just returned home from a fantastic couple of days in this villa. On our trip we’ve stayed in 4 different villas in various locations in Florida and this was head and shoulders above the rest. Sparkling clean and so well decorated/accessorised it immediately felt like home. The garden was the cherry on the cake. Like a tropical oasis with a warm lovely sized pool and hot tub. The garden was private, surrounded by beautiful palms and with a beautiful mural on the house wall which was painted by the owners nephew who was a lovely chap. The owners live on site in the attached villa and we met Jim who was very friendly and welcoming. The owners stay out of the way so we never felt we were being watched over. The only negative was that we didn’t book to stay for more nights. We would most definitely book again if we were to visit the area again.

beautiful and relaxing

The property was fabulous. The location suited our needs and we were very close to almost everything we needed. The apartment was very clean and well kept. The backyard was beautiful and relaxing. The property managers were very kind, thoughtful and had great attention to detail. The only complaint I had was the marketing. I assumed we were in a house by ourselves. It wasn't until later that I realized it was actually a duplex/apartment arrangement and the owners live onsite. Because we were using it for a wedding headquarters and we were the parents of the bride and so many people were in from out of state (including us) my preference would have been a home to ourselves because of the hustle and bustle of many people. It turned out not to be an issue as the owners are fantastic. We would definitely re-book here and had that conversation on our way to to airport.

Walking through the gates of this Garden Home was like walking through to a Secret Garden! It was beautifully cared for and the flowering bushes and plants were amazing. While we did not take advantage of the pool/Hot Tub, they looked very inviting. Inside was spacious and comfortable. Jim & Denise were wonderful Hosts and I enjoyed talking with them. Would definitely come again and recommend this property.
