Very nice property, very clean, was able to book this on short notice, Penny is wonderful, easy check in and out. While the house is on the smaller side, it was perfect for us 3 adults. Had everything we needed in the kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. Outside pool area was clean and welcoming. I would recommend and I would stay again.

South Florida Vacation Home

The home is located a short drive from Hollywood International Airport and offers easy access to 95 north and south. The resturants and stores of Las Olas along with Publix are also nearby. The home is exactly as pictured, comfortable and cozy. The recent renovations are very nice. Penny was an absolute joy to work with making arraingements prior to our visit-she could not have been more understanding and helpful.

No privacy!

One would think that for the money they charge to rent this place that perhaps they might want to put some of it into updating it. The hot well not really hot warm water tap in the small bathroom leaked whenever the tap was turned on and it’s so dark in that shower stall no overhead lighting. In the other bathroom it’s quite small a larger person would half to almost stand sideways to shower so as not to bang your elbows on the wall while washing your hair, the bathtub plug doesn’t plug in properly so you can’t give the kids a bath. The oven door handle keeps coming off when trying to open it and because it’s in such a small confined space you had to be very careful it didn’t come off while taking something out of the oven. Plastic covers on the mattress which makes you sweat. Dirty blinds and windows very dated. There’s always someone showing up without informing you. Someone who’s supposed to keep a check on the house, yard maintenance that just show up whenever and walk right into the backyard without so much as a knock or a hello then pool maintenance guys that also just walk right in. Not to mention the guy in the house across the canal that came over banging the door down ranting about wanting to know who was taking pictures in the backyard so he was watching the house from the backyard. Not that we were doing anything wrong just taking pictures but he was obviously watching us Then they sent a guy over supposedly to check if there was any beach chairs and umbrella etc. for the next guests yet we were still staying there for 22 more days. So we wrote an email to the owner requesting the use of this beach equipment and her reply was well I’m out of town and well you know how this stuff goes missing as if to accuse us of stealing their stuff when there wasn’t any. She could have asked the people that she kept sending around to spy on us if they could have picked up beach equipment for the property and maybe let us use it and pay this guy for it when she got back from her so called out of town. Since like I said we still had 22 more days there and yet she never checked to see if we needed anything and then refused even after sending an email. So obviously see was just sending him around with another lame excuse to check up on us. The dock at the canal has a bunch of very uneven boards and sloped downward towards the water also with a bunch of nails protruding out of them about a half inch or so very dangerous. Very poor business relation.

The property was very clean and convenient to stores and restaurants and all the beaches the ride out in the boat was a bit longer than I was told but hey a boat ride is better than a snowmobile ride any day penny was fantastic and was very helpful with any questions I had other reviews complaints of noise from 95 but never had any problem with it very enjoyable stay

If you're looking to relax, look no further!

The house was exactly as stated, but looks even nicer in person. It was spotless and was fully equipped with everything you need. We were looking to relax and really enjoyed the pool/yard. We spent time in the pool, had breakfast under the covered back patio, enjoyed time on the dock having a beverage, while taking in the pretty scenery. The yard is pretty secluded and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. The location was very convenient with stores and restaurants a short 10 minute ride away. If you're looking for a nice place to relax that's nicely situated, you won't be disappointed! Plus, the owner Penny was great to work with. We're already looking forward to a return trip!

Small Home, Noisy Location, Added Expenses.

Absolute torture trying to book this property with some 20 pages of forms to be returned by post or scanned not easy when travelling. Not mentioned was having to pay a very substantial refundable deposit or pay a smaller but not insignificant insurance fee for the week. Wrong entry code given by VRBO though owner unaware. The neighbour given as contact had moved away so we had to knock on doors to find help. Eventually a guy rang a friend of the owners for the code- not a great start. Hadn’t know location until just before arriving and found this property almost immediately below the i95 passover offering absolutely NO peace and quiet 24/7 whilst covering the car and swimming pool in black smuts, the pounding noise ever present. Though a very quiet neighbourhood this is a very noisy location. We’d booked because the listing offered 2 bedrooms each with 2 queen beds, in truth only one queen bed in each. As there were 3 of us with different sleeping needs it meant that one had to sleep on the very uncomfortable futon in the sun room. No mattress provided for this which has a hard ridge down the middle, OK for small kids maybe but not an adult- the owners should should try a night themselves. How they can sleep 8 we’ve no idea! Next we had no hot water, a plumber arrived late in the evening who made necessary adjustments. Found we only had sufficient water with temperature on full. The property is small but ok was reasonably clean with plenty of linen for the beds though all pillows soiled with no protectors- we took photos should this be denied. Plenty of towels which we washed and left as we found. We also left the fridge cleaner than found. Well equipped for cooking and eating outside, we enjoyed a BBQ and the outside area has seating and sun loungers. Enjoyed the pool though unheated, also fishing in the canal but caught nothing. We made the most of our stay and didnt let the earlier confusions spoil our time there. Not much in the neighbourhood but not too far to shops, car essential.

Fabulous in Fort Lauderdale

This property has a lot going for It:pool, inter coastal view and adorable decor! I would like to rebut the previous review as our neighbors were lovely,the owner responded to every small concern immediately and BTW we were the folks that asked her to check on the beach gear in the garage. The space is very well used with a well configured kitchen, large living area, adorable sun room, 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Convenient to lots of good restaurants on Las Olas and off 17th st. Thanks to Penny for a wonderful 5 weeks!

Great house for our visit, Penny is a super host!

We stayed at this home for a week (my husband, myself, and our three youngest children) to celebrate our twins 10th birthday. We wanted something in this location to be close to our oldest daughter who lives locally. It worked out very well. The house was very clean and the size was perfect. The pool was perfect for our family, it was very clean and we enjoyed it every day! We loved being on the canal, we enjoyed seeing the iguanas and even a manatee. We were close to the beach, shopping and other activities. Penny was a wonderful host, very responsive to all questions and needs and was very friendly. Would recommend this home!

Schönes Ferienhaus mit Pool

Wir haben zwei sehr angenehme Wochen hier verbracht. Das Haus liegt günstig nicht weit weg vom Flughafen an einem der vielen Kanäle. Platz für den Mietwagen ist in der Garage. Der Pool ist schön und sauber. Gartenmöbel sind ausreichend vorhanden. Man kann so herrlich relaxen. Es gibt einen Bootsanlegesteg. Die Ausstattung ist wie in der Beschreibung vorhanden: Klima, komplette Küche, Handtücher, Grill etc.. WLAN/Internet funktioniert hervorragend. Also alles in allem empfehlenswert.

This place was amazing

First of all, Penny the owner is a absolute sweetheart. I booked this house for my family who came down to stay for a week, the house was perfect. This house was clean, centrally located, and right on the water, it was perfect. Penny, made sure every thing was just right, she went way above what I expected to make sure my family's had everything they needed. I would absolutely stay here again, i will defently tell everyone I know how great this experience was. If you want a place to stay in Fort Lauderdale you can't do better than this house.

We enjoyed our stay. Would do it again.

We really enjoyed our stay. We would have stayed a couple of months longer, but someone had already rented it. Take advantage of the canal outback and rent some kayaks. The nabors were great. The owners make it fantastic as well. They were there right away with a simple request for a light bulb. Yes, the description of the property was accurate. The location was convenient. Great customer service from the owners. I would rent again.

Great space with everything we needed.

The house was clean and well cared for and the rental experience was well organized and hassle free from start to finish. Pool was a refreshing break from the wonderful heat and humidity and the blender was put to good use during our stay. The property is close to the airport and to the interstate so we enjoyed the lovely patio to the hum of traffic but it was nothing that our tiny bluetooth speaker playing our favorite playlist couldn't handle. Thank you Penny and Dan.

We work hard and play hard but at the end of the day we Thank The Lord for all the Blessings in our lives. We appreciate all of our guests, friends and family as for without all of you we are no one and have nothing.

We love vacations and hope everyone who comes enjoys there vacation to the fullest. We also love to help future Homeowners find there forever or for awhile homes. We love crew and know it's nice to be able to be in a home while the vessel is in dry dock as well so there is no one we will not try our best to help with there stay and their ability to stay so don't be afraid to ask you will be surprised at the things we get asked and sometimes agree to!!!!

And we are fair and honest we will do our very best to keep it up to our travelers expectations and keep it simple and clean. Our pictures show what this house is and when it changes so will the pictures our promise is to keep our listing up to date and as honest as we can.
We Truly want your business and want you to be comfortable and happy. We chose this home because of waterfront canal and neighborhood.
It’s proximity to downtown and to many many things to do.
We liked that it was on the water and nestled down a canal off the N Fork of The New River.

We love the water and hope travelers will too. This home has a Private pool, single car garage with electric opener, dock with power, private back yard.
