Resort style property

Arnie and Jacob were great hosts. Every little detail was covered. The pool, hot tub, water view, lush tropical foliage, and water fountains made it feel like we were at a resort and was very private. Location to Wilton drive was also great. No need to Uber when you can just walk!! Would absolutely stay here again.

Ft. Lauderdale's Best Choice for Gay Travelers!

This was my second stay at Arnie's and Jacob's place and I wouldn't have thought it possible but it was even better than the first. Every aspect of our trip - from booking to arrival to our time there - could not have made us feel more welcome and cared for. The apartment is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and equipped for dining-in or simply coffee in the morning. The property is equally beautiful, landscaped with a profusion of palms, orchids, bromeliads and other tropical flora. The waterfront location, pool and hot tub really create a resort feel; it would be easy to spend a lazy week without leaving other than for meals. Arnie and Jacob are the perfect hosts - if you desire privacy you'll never see them, but if you'd like tips about the area they're knowledgeable and happy to help. We'll definitely be back!

The Perfect Relaxing and Invigorating Vacation

Jacob & Arnie were the most gracious and welcoming host. The pristine amenities were the start to a most enjoyable home away from home. The Pool View accommodation truly felt like home. Tons of natural light and a stocked kitchen for most any cooking needs. If work called, we were able to pull out our laptops and work as needed in a peaceful homie environment. Perfect location! Walking distance to most any night life and restaurants. The highlight of our trip was paddle boarding around Wilton Manors and enjoying the most stunning sunset upon the river. We sincerely enjoy this trip and feel like we've made some awesome friends, Jacob & Arnie. We will most definitely return!
