5 bed/ 3 bath, 3 king/ 10 twin beds, home + guesthouse, 2 kitchens/ living rooms
Just a short drive to Fort Lauderdale Beach, Wilton Manors, and downtown, you’ll be close to everything while enjoying the comforts of home.
• Clawfoot Tub • Sun Loungers • Grill & Propane • Beach Supplies • Washer & Dryer • Star & Underwater machine
Every corner of this home is designed to spark a little wonder. Settle in for a cozy night with the Chromecast-powered projector, transforming the living room into your own private cinema beneath the sails. Climb up to the crow’s nest loft, where you can gaze through the “periscope,” swap stories, and feel as though you’re charting the stars.
The details are what make this house an ideal escape from reality—like the clawfoot soaking tub, a perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring, or the eclectic nautical décor that brings the Captain’s world to life. Thoughtful touches abound, from beach gear for your ocean excursions to board games and activities that keep the whole crew entertained.
Here, every stay feels less like a getaway and more like a voyage of discovery, blending comfort, playfulness, and just the right amount of whimsy.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD Poinsettia Heights is a centrally located quiet neighborhood in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. Steps away from vibrant Wilton Manors and the Beach, and a short drive to Miami, the area is a perfect location to explore South Florida from.
The location is perfect for those guests who decide not to rent a car. Sunrise Blvd, Federal Highway (US1) and the adorable outcrop that is dubbed 13th street (NE 13th St) are all within walking distance (under a mile).
LOCAL FLAVOR Nearby you will find local gems such as Eucalyptus Gardens, Storks, Gulfstream Brewery, Lovelee Bakeshop, Croissan‘time, and Montce Swim. The Galleria Mall is just 1.5 miles away and there are plenty of places to rent Kayaks/ Paddleboards, dozens of mid-century modern vintage shops, and most importantly; the golden sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach.
EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE Within 1 mile of the home, you’ll find: • Publix supermarket • Walgreens pharmacy • Dunkin’ Donuts • Middle River Terrace Park • Liquor store (open until 2 a.m.) • Gas stations, restaurants, and shops
QUICK DISTANCES • Beach – 2.1 miles • Las Olas – 1.8 miles • Flagler Village – 1.3 miles • Wilton Manors – 1.5 miles • Downtown Fort Lauderdale – 3.2 miles • Fort Lauderdale Airport – 6.5 miles
BRIGHTLINE TRAIN– 2.5 miles Miami: ~30 min West Palm Beach: ~30 min Orlando: ~2.5 hrs
GETTING AROUND Landlubbers can head due south (to Sunrise Blvd) or east (to US 1 / Federal Hwy) to reach major thoroughfares where public transportation via bus is available, but Uber & Lyft is readily available.
One block West of the home, there are two bus stops, one northbound and one southbound. We do not suggest public transportation in Fort Lauderdale as it's not fully developed as in larger cities.
If you do not plan to rent a vehicle at the airport we suggest using Sixt rent-a-car on Sunrise Blvd. It's within a 5-minute drive from the home and has great vehicles for guests traveling in large groups.
WATER TAXI If you’d rather swap asphalt for water, the iconic Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi is close at hand—your pass to cruising the Intracoastal like a true mariner, with stops at waterfront restaurants, shops, and cultural spots.

We spent Christmas at this unique house and the small house at the back was great for the grandparents where they had their own space. Tom was excellent to communicate with and provided great information about the local area
This property was sooo fun! All the little details make this place the best. Everything was clean and we had any amenity we needed. Thank you for having us!
Perfect place for a big group. Everyone had a bed, which were comfortable. And enough bathrooms too. And the guesthouse was great fir my husband to get away from all the activity. We had a nice week!
Thanks
This place was awesome! We went with a group for spring break and it was perfect. Tons of places to sleep - everyone had a bed and we still had extra space. It was great that there was a guest house so the boys and girls could split bathrooms. The outdoor spaces were awesome for all of us to hang out before we went out. Tom and Noelle were great too. So helpful and super nice - you’ll love it.
A uniquely updated property with creative nautical themed decor! Enough Room for our two families and the older kids, especially loved their privacy in the detached 1BR apt style house. Safe and quiet neighborhood that was convenient to Publix (1mi) for supplies. It was a reasonable drive to Fort Lauderdale by the Sea and Hollywood beaches, both our kids enjoyed very much with great beachside restaurants and shops nearby. The Everglades airboat ride was an exciting gator experience for our littles. Our highlight of the trip was going to watch Michigan play at the semi-final football championship game at the Hard Rock Stadium, awesome (less than 30 min drive)! Responsive and caring hosts, for instance, we had trouble with the washer and they sent someone out within a 1/2 hour to tend to it, they ordered a part and I trust these caring hosts have already fixed it by now! Thank you for sharing your home with strangers, we had a wonderful time for NY! Cool house!!!!Cheers!
This property is absolutely perfect! Plenty of room to spread out, comfortable beds, all of the necessities provided to make you feel right at home! Loved the creative decor and the outdoor space was just as enjoyable! Host was quick to respond and very friendly and attentive to any of our needs! If you are ever in Fort Lauderdale, we definitely recommend you stay at the Captain's Quarters and Rum Locker!

Great house, awesome location, cool owners
The house is so much fun and everything is so clean. The owners couldn’t be nicer people and go out of their way to make sure you’re taken care of. Everything you need is included, and everything works great. I’d 1000% book this house again
