The Neighborhood:
Fort Lauderdale is famous for its beaches, arts, culture, and events. From shopping on Las Olas Boulevard to gondola rides on the canals, to a historic riverfront, this is the "Venice of America"
The villa is located within the leafy neighborhood of River Oaks and is only minutes to all the best attractions, shopping, and dining options.
Drive only 5 minutes to a supermarket, restaurants including YOT Bar and Grill (10 min walk) that overlooks the water and a whole bunch of cafes, fast food, and bars only a 10-minute walk from your door along Marina Mile Blvd.
Just two miles north of Port Everglades, you can experience Fort Lauderdale's landscaped beachfront promenade, with its signature white wave wall and paved brick paths.
The picturesque Secret Woods Nature Center just a few minutes away is a must-visit with a Butterfly Garden, a reptile habitat, and a winding boardwalk through the trees.
Along Las Olas Boulevard (4 miles away) enjoy premier shopping, dining, and the historic districts with something for everyone to enjoy then take a trip aboard Fort Lauderdale's water taxi provides a prime view of the mansions and yachts dotting Millionaires Row.
Stop at the Stranahan House, a preserved 1900s home furnished with antiques of the era. Or "follow the red brick road" of the Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk, the landscaped park, to the Arts and Entertainment District.
Trying to stay fit? Dive into the Atlantic for a swim or enjoy a workout and healthy fare at a resort spa. For some adventure, head westward for an airboat into The Everglades.
For a fun night out, drive just 12 minutes to the popular Hard Rock hotel and enjoy the expansive grounds with a 13.5-acre recreational water experience where you can kayak, swim, paddle board, or float in the Bora Bora style lagoon then relax in the gorgeous Rock Spa and Salon.
Eat out at one of the 19 dining outlets and 20 bars, play in the huge casino, or shop til you drop at The Shoppes with a large retail promenade.
There really is something for everyone to enjoy in the beautiful Venice of America.
Getting Around:
The best way to get around the city is by car with ample parking included with your stay.
Florida's Brightline train system makes it possible to travel from Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach and Miami without a car. Each ride takes about 30 minutes and departs daily every one to three hours, depending on the direction and time of day. Services are available every day from about 5:10 to 12:50 a.m.
You can see the city by boat with a fleet of water taxis that travel along the Intracoastal and downtown's New River, stopping at 14 points of interest in Fort Lauderdale and the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort. You can hop on and off the boats all day, but the tickets are a bit pricey. Each costs $28 per adult and $14 per child.
If your destination is not near a waterway, Sun Trolley offers routes with stops downtown and along the beach, as well as on Las Olas Boulevard. All routes are free except for the Beach Link and Las Olas Link routes, which cost $1 per ride or $3 for a day pass.
For shorter trips around the city, consider reserving a bicycle through the Broward B-cycle bike-sharing program. Broward B-cycle features stations in popular neighborhoods like Central Beach and downtown, making it easy to reach the Museum of Discovery and Science, Fort Lauderdale Beach Park, and other must-see sights. Bike rentals cost $5 per 30 minutes or $50 per day.
Guests can also use a ride-share company like Uber or Lyft with plenty of cars at any time of the day or night.

Perfect spot for our stay. Well appointed home, comfortable beds, nice neighborhood, close to many things. Especially enjoyed the outside pool area with a warm wonderful salt water pool. Would stay again for sure.
Absolutely the best experience! The place was clean and well stocked. We had some issues outside of the stay and the owner was beyond understanding and helpful. The pool was warm and clean and the tiki hut was beautiful! Next time we are in the Fort Lauderdale area, we will definitely be staying here
This house provides a nice, peaceful reprieve for a family to hang out and relax. The pool is warm, the patio large, and the house nice and well equipped. It was a wonderful experience!
We were in town for a cruise and stayed the night before. The house and pool were great, it was like starting our vacation a day early! Just what we were looking for.
The house was clean, family orientated a lot of accommodations were there. All bed was comfortable located in a good location. The backyard was very private and my family loves the heated pool.
We had an amazing stay with our family for spring break! The house had everything we needed including accessories to bring to the ocean. Our young girls loved the toys, books, and most of all the pool.
Great communication really nice people. The house it’s really beautiful and comfortable. I definitely recommend this house if you are looking to have great confortable relax time.
My familly came in 2 days before our cruise. The house was amazing, great location there is a few fast food and store right around the corner to grab and bring back. Air port, cruise terminal was also close. House had toys and water toys for the kids, beds was nice and house was upkept. Outside pool was nice for kids to play in while we relaxed under the tiki hut, we did not use grill or stove but well equipt with things you may need, pots pans, coffee maker umoung other things was there to use. Will stay again if in the area!
Communication with the owner was excellent. The outdoor tiki hut & pool were enjoyed by all. The home is nicely supplied with many conveniences. We especially appreciated the availability of the pack & play and toys for the young ones. Would definitely recommend to others.
We had a great time at this property. Upon arrival it had been clearly cleaned well and just as described. Great location, close to the city, airport, beach, as well as other attractions. The pool was perfect for ourselves and small children. The books and toys helped keep our little ones busy as well. We also enjoyed the short walk to a local playground in the evenings. Highly recommend!
