9/10 — Great stay overall. We spent a week at Sailfish Water Villa and had a really enjoyable time. Nikki and Kevin were fantastic communicators — responsive, helpful, and easy to work with throughout. The house was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed. The kitchen is a standout and the backyard/pool area is a great space to relax.One note for future guests: the pool and spa share a single heater, so only one can be heated at a time and you'll need to coordinate a schedule with the hosts. This is disclosed in the house manual after booking, but it would be helpful to have this called out more prominently on the listing itself, especially for non-refundable reservations. Not a dealbreaker at all, just good to know going in.Location is solid — easy to drive to the beach, Las Olas, and restaurants — though it's not a particularly walkable neighborhood.Overall, would definitely recommend.

Inclement weather, did not use pool or spa but once but having to contact the owner to turn on the spa or heaters is a pain. Photos of canal, dock and boat were deceiving. Kitchen cabinets and drawers need to be purged of old and open food containers and then the house needs to be sprayed for bugs. The master bath has a problem with getting any hot water in the sink or shower.

Amazing waterfront property

Nikki and Kevin are amazing hosts. The communication prior to arrival and during our stay was unbelievable!!! The house is amazing!! We were a party of 8 and the property was spacious. The house is located within 15-20 of the Fort Lauderdale airport and/or cruise port depending on the time of day. We also rented the pontoon boat which is in the backyard right on the water. We had such a great time. Thank you again Nikki and Kevin!

There were cockroaches and other bugs in the kitchen. They were probably attracted by the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen being full of food and crumbs. We had to kill multiple bugs every time we used the kitchen. There were loose hairs in the few bathroom drawers that had been emptied. They only emptied out a small section of one closet in the master bedroom. I’ve never stayed anywhere that just had so much of the owner’s personal property everywhere. There was a remote to turn on the heater for the pool and hot tub but it didn’t work. So we had to decide on a schedule of what hours we wanted the pool heater on versus the hot tub. The pool and hot tub couldn’t both be used at the same time. The temperature the hosts set the pool to was not warm enough for a baby, or really any of us. They also wanted to charge us extra to heat the pool to a usable temperature, but did back down on that. This is NOT a four bedroom house. The “loft” was an attic accessed by a pull down ladder with no window. It would NOT be a safe place for someone to sleep. We rented the pontoon as well and it did not have a canopy for shade. One of the beds was extremely creaky, making noise with the smallest movement. The couch needs to be replaced it had no cushioning left. On New Year’s Eve the neighbors set off firecrackers that sounded like bombs in the street right in front of the house and blared loud music for at least 5 hours.

Huge kitchen!

Family and friends gathered at this house over NYE. We booked the house based on # of bedrooms, huge kitchen and home location. We were a bit confused as the loft was more like a bonus room. Huge and fun but no bed was in there. The kitchen was awesome! Pool and hot tub great! Beds and pillows all comfy. Owners were outstanding in communication and checking in to see if we needed anything. Need a ginormous well equipped kitchen, pool and hot tub and relaxing outdoor space? This is the home for you!

Thank you Nikki and Kevin for allowing us to stay in your beautiful Ft. Lauderdale vacation home.

My family and I had a lovely time in your vacation home. Our 3 kids and grandkids celebrated the New year and bbq outdoors and used the pool and the jacuzzi . We had a lovely view and we saw fireworks at night from the backyard. We also saw a beautiful manatee in the water enjoying the afternoon. We recommend this property for a large party. The comfort was amazing and the home was beautifully done. The Villar Family 🤩🍾

Many Great Things

We had a fantastic stay at the VRBO property. The hosts were exceptional. They were great at communicating and flexible with our plans. The house had a fantastic outdoor space and the pool and hot tub were impeccably clean. The only drawback was the fourth bedroom, referred to as a loft but more accurately an attic, which was a bit less appealing for sleeping. Nevertheless, overall, it was a wonderful experience with clean and well-maintained amenities.
