Beautiful home and in an excellent location! Close to everything and a short drive to the beach. Owners are very quick to respond and offer to fix any issues and work hard to make sure you have a pleasant stay. It was a welcoming touch to have the house lit up for our arrival!

We really enjoyed our stay at this house! The home was clean and well stocked, and the backyard was so beautiful. The neighborhood is close to restaurants and the beach, and is overall pretty quiet (which was great for my family). We had a wonderful time!

Great place

This is a great house in a great location with fantastic host. They are quick to respond any questions or concerns. The pool is so nice and refreshing. The couch and beds were so comfortable. It was so great that this house had TV's that had you tube TV on it. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your lovely home!

Oakland Park Oasis

We won't hesitate to rent this home again. It is simply lovely, well maintained and stocked, well laid out, and spacious. The beds are comfortable and clean with plenty of linens. Serene is the word that keeps coming to me. The former tenants left the garbage cans in the drive, and from what the helpful neighbor told us, filled incorrectly, but the owner was pleasant and prompt when I let them know the situation. Instructions were clear for check in and out. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. If in doubt, just book it.

Family vacation

House was very nice in a quiet neighborhood!! Description was accurate. The pool was great, the back yard is beautiful!! Master bathroom could use some hooks to hang towels or clothes on. The sliding doors to go out back need screens. There was no check out requirements, usually when we stay somewhere they ask for things to be done before you leave. They also don’t let you know when lawn or pool people coming by. It felt like the ocean was a further drive than 10min, that was disappointing!!

Beautiful house with a really nice pool and great neighborhood!

The house was perfect, just as advertised. Really close to the beach and shopping. We visited several different beaches throughout our stay but didn’t really need to go anywhere because the backyard was an amazing area just to hangout and relax.

Incredible Stay - Definitely recommend

My family and I stayed at this property during July 4th long weekend. It was beautiful and exactly as described, the kitchen was fully equipped and it was a nice and quiet neighborhood. Would absolutely stay again. Friendly heads up the mosquitoes were fully out but that was just about the season and weather mostly

Nicely renovated

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. Everything looked new and it was well appointed. The tropical pool area was wonderful. Our only complaint is that there was no information about trash pickup days, outside lighting, or checkout procedures ie, laundry expectations, etc.

Great backyard

This house was great! We came down for spring break with our teenage daughters and our dog. We loved the backyard and the pool!! One thing I would add in the house, because I have teenage daughters, is a full length mirror😀

Dissapointed, primary criteria not met

Our primary and critical criteria was an outdoor heated pool. As the pool heater was not functioning, we were unable to use the pool. This was especially impactful, as the weather was not great, allowing only a short time on the beaches. A fully functional, heated pool was a key expectation. On day 2 we were expecting it to be fixed as the pool chap conveyed he would return with a compression pump. Subsequently it became apparent that the heater required parts that would take 3 days to order. We were advised that the heater was working the day prior. We felt the water on arrival and it was freezing (i.e. had definitely not been heated a day before). The existence of shot glasses and wine glasses thrown in the plants, a child’s diaper placed over the security camera, a broken mirror in the yard and the fence broken, clearly indicated that the outdoor area had not been checked. (photos provided). Added to which I believe only one of the outdoor lights was working. Of course, this was extremely disappointing and had a significant, negative impact on our experience. Another surprising issue was the lack of lighting in front of the house. While most other houses were well lit at the entrance, this particular property was extremely dark at night.
