Then enjoy meals together at the chic breakfast bar, at the café style table set for four
There are three generous bedrooms within the home with each offering comfortable beds topped in hotel-quality linen along with plenty of space to unpack and make yourself at home.
The master bedroom features a comfortable queen bed, an ensuite with a relaxing jetted bath, and two soft bath robes. Bedroom two also offers a queen bed and views out onto the pool area while bedroom three is perfect for families with Two full bed, and a shelf full of fun board games.
Along with the master ensuite, there is an additional central bathroom with a large walk-in shower and a vanity stocked with all the essentials for your stay and plenty of soft, fluffy towels for each guest.
On a sunny afternoon, step out into the gorgeous resort-style yard and soak up the endless Florida sun on the two sun lounges before taking a dip in the refreshing saltwater heated pool.
Gather everyone together and enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch alfresco style under the shady tiki hut, then head out on the town with the popular Hard Rock Casino less than 15 minutes away.
With all the top attractions, white sandy beaches, restaurants, cafes, and shopping along Las Olas Blvd an easy 10 minutes away, you simply can’t go past this spacious, resort-style villa for your next getaway to The Venice of America, we can’t wait to welcome you!
Guest Access:
Guests have private access to the entire villa, landscaped yard with a heated pool and tiki hut as well as free Wi-Fi, free parking, complimentary coffee, and access to streaming apps on the Smart TV.
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.
