About this property

Hillsboro Bch Retreat - 4 Bedroom Waterfront Home w/ Dock & Private Beach Access

This cozy retreat is situated in a residential neighborhood in Pompano Beach called Hillsboro Shores, which is one of South Florida’s hidden gems. The 4-bedroom 3-bathroom home comes with 4 beach bikes and your own key to the community’s private beach, which will make you feel like you’re one of the locals.

The 2,169 square feet living space has been professionally decorated in a classic Ernest Hemingway style that is tropical and beachy, yet sophisticated. The home also has that old Florida charm with genuine hardwood and terrazzo floors. Your first impression when entering the house will be the majestic looking foyer with planked wood vaulted ceilings and two quaint sea shell chandeliers. From there you’ll continue into the living room, which very nicely connects with a large and roomy kitchen that has a little bar area, perfect for entertaining.

The bedrooms are designed for comfortable living, including comfy duvets, and they all have professional laundered and pressed 5-Star hotel linens. The master bedroom features a king-size bed with a view of the boat canal and a newly renovated bathroom. Two other bedrooms have queen-size beds, and the fourth bedroom has two twins, which is perfect for kids.

But when you are on vacation in Florida, who wants to be inside all the time? Yes, if you are like everyone else, the outside space at this house is what will bring you back year after year. First, the back yard is huge, features a 75-foot long dock that can accommodate a very large boat, is situated on an extra wide canal which means privacy, and then you have two patios for entertainment. One of the patios is screened-in and has a large dining room table with a water view and easy access to both the kitchen and the BBQ grill. The other outside patio is more of a lounge area where you can enjoy a nightcap in the evening or watch the kids as they are playing in the pool. Both patios have an overhang, so come rain or shine, you still be enjoying the tropics, outdoors!

The city Pompano Beach is conveniently located with easy access to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and the Palm Beaches. Whether you decide to just stay local or explore the surrounding areas, you will have an incredible diversity of dining, shopping, entertainment, and nightlife options. Lastly, there is no shortage if you want to go boating, fishing, scuba & snorkeling, wind surfing, or other adventures when your destination is Pompano Beach, Sunny South Florida!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location 0.3 miles to beach.House was very spacious, well equipped and clean. The pool was very nice and they cleaned it twice during our week stay because of heavy winds causing leaves to blow in. We needed to book this at the last minute as there was a problem with our VRBO ( dock unfinished) and we had a boat rented for the week. This house ended up being superior to the one we had previously rented. A very happy accident. We will surely be back. Thank you so much to Lars and the crew!

Good location
Start with very good: communication with property manager was fantastic! House clean, good, safe location, walk-able area. Close to restaurants, grocery stores. Pool is fab!! bring your own floaties. IMHO: The pictures are deceiving. It was still big enough. We thought it was on a corner lot, it was not. Basically a cul de sac. We were hoping to watch the boats going by. There is a lip to the patio door we all stubbed our toes on a few times. Heads up (or down?). The patio door is veryyy heavy, My sister and I had to use full bodies to get it open and we are not weaklings. There were only 2 teaspoons - If I had gone to Walmart I would have bought more. There is a recycle bin - but we did not know what to recycle. Everything? just glass? plastic? a list would be great. Access to private beach - walk is more like 7-8 minutes (if you walk fast), much longer if you are with children or elderly, or sisters with breathing conditions. You need a gate 'fob'. We did not know this until we went looking for the beach. A quick text to property manager fixed that, and people walking in the area pointed out where the entrance was. Instructions for that should be posted by front door. Walk back to main road, cross to continue on Beacon St. At the end of that street, take a left, about 50 ft on the right you will see a gate. That's it. You need the fob to get in and out. Once through the second gate, people put their belongings , shoes, fob, etc. Patio doors need significant work.

Awesome Stay in Pompano
We picked this house for the location and it did not disappoint! If you are bringing your boat, especially to fish, this house is perfect. It is very close to the inlet and offshore fishing spots. Note that it does not have a filet table, which would have been helpful. The pool was a nice way to cool off on hot days. The inside had everything we needed. The pictures in the listing are very accurate. The beds were very comfortable as advertised and the house had plenty of room for us. There are a few things that could use some freshening up but they were minor and all of the other positives more than made up for them. We would definitely stay here again.

There is private access to the beach, but it is a walk with no parking nearby. But the house had everything that we needed for four adults and two teenagers.

The kitchen is stocked which made cooking easy. The pool was warm and the fishing kept our boys busy for hours each day. Having 2 bedrooms on each end of the home made it perfect for 2 families vacationing together.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family had a wonderful stay at this home. It was perfect for our family of 9. We loved the separation of the four bedrooms where two of them were in one part of the house and two were on the other side. The setting was beautiful on the water and the heated pool was so nice for all of us. The beach access fob was great and it was such a short walk to get there. We rented a golf cart and really enjoyed the beautiful area and all it had to offer. The area of Pompano Beach was quiet and we loved the Community Park. So many good food choices too. We would definitely stay here again!!!!

Family trip
Property was as described and clean. Only concern was both doors from the screened in patio need the handles replaced. One simply didn't work and the other was "functional" but it was necessary to work with it a little whenever it was necessary for the door to remain closed. It might be a thought to consider to change the box the entry key is locked into as the numbers on the combination lock are very difficult to read. Part of that may be we arrived at night in the dark and left early in the morning in the dark and even with a flashlight the numbers were very difficult to distinguish. Otherwise, it was a great place with lots of room for all of us!!

Nice place for vacation!
The pictures are actually a bit older, but they still show how the house is. The bedrooms are tastefully decorated and the beds are very good. Everything else you need is there as well. The location on the canal is wonderful and the proximity to the (private) beach as well. We booked the house at very short notice and when we arrived there were a few small deficiencies (bike, icebox, grill, no bath towels and pads at the pool). However, these were fixed very quickly. Sean from iRenta and also the property manager were always available and took good care. We were six in the house (4 adults and 2 children) and can really recommend it. One tenant left a very negative review here. Since I can only say: yes, in the house may be some in the years, but ultimately a vacation home can only be as good as the tenants treat it.... We would book it again.

Schlechtes Ferienhaus - keine Empfehlung
Die Beschreibung des Hauses entspricht nicht den Tatsachen und den Bildern. Die Bilder wurden vor 10-15 Jahren aufgenommen. Das Haus ist abgewohnt, ungepflegt und eine Grundreinigung des Hauses hat vor sehr langer Zeit stattgefunden. Der Pool war mit Algen versetzt, die Liegen hatten keine Auflagen, die Fenster waren sehr verschmutzt. 4x hatten wir Kakerlaken im Haus. von 1-A-Bettwäsche kann hier keine Rede sein. Auch der Flair des Hauses entspricht nicht Beschreibung. Die Holzböden sind aus Plastik….. Die Hausverwaltung hat auf unsere Mails nicht reagiert. Offizielle Beschwerde bei FEWO eingereicht. Fazit: Dies ist nur ein Auszug der Geschehnisse. Wir werden dieses Haus nie mehr besuchen und können jedem nur davon abraten.

Résidence très confortable
Nous avons fait un séjour du 01 au 09 mai 2022. Grande maison, aire ouverte accueillante, chacun avait son espace, quartier tranquille. Parfait pour une famille ou entre amis. La mer est à 10 minutes de marche et la plage de Pompano à 10 minutes en voiture. Nous avons profité aussi de la piscine et de la grande cour. Points à améliorer. certains articles de base étaient soit manquante ou désuète ( guenille, linge à vaisselle, jeu de piscine ) valider avec l'hôte avant votre arriver.

This beautiful home accommodated our family very well! The pool was perfect for us after our beach stay. There were a few small details that would have been nice - wash cloths, more beach chairs with a wagon to haul to the beach - but nothing that would keep us from rebooking again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall there were multiple disappointments regarding the house. The walk to the beach is not as short as described and does require walking across a busy street. The fridge did not work (a small replacement was there, but had no ice maker and definitely could not fit food for 8 people) there was no propane for the grill, and no fishing poles as advertised. The pool was also is a poor condition when we arrived, water was down so low that the skimmer was not working and required 45min cleaning to make it swimable. Only saving grace was the property manager was quick to respond.

Relaxing Getaway
First off, the weather was perfect! It was just me and my wife and the area was exactly what we wanted, residential, relaxing, and easy to bike around. The pictures represented the property accurately. The kitchen has nice appliances, although the dishwasher failed on day 4. The indoor outdoor living was great due to the very large sliding door and comfortable outdoor furniture. The pool area was clean and everything was in good working order. There are a few items that could use some attention. Although we road the bikes everyday, they are in very poor shape and I worried about them breaking down. Loose handle bars, rusty chain, and overall just not in great shape. The couch must be replaced! It was gross so we covered it with clean blankets. Bathrooms were small but usable, not really an issue for two people. Overall it was a good stay and management was great to work with before and during the stay. I would recommend this property to anyone...but it needs a new couch. :)
