Oakland Park Retreat – Heated Pool, Soft-Serve, Pet-Friendly, Sleeps 8
Welcome to Rose — a bright, modern 3BR/2BA Oakland Park home with a heated private pool, sleeping up to 8. Cook in a fully equipped designer kitchen, then grill poolside on the covered patio and cool off at the full-size soft-serve ice cream machine (yes, really).
The open-plan living area is anchored by a smart TV and comfortable seating. Each bedroom is quiet, air-conditioned, and dressed in hotel-grade linens. Two full bathrooms, in-unit washer/dryer, and fast Wi-Fi throughout.
Location is the real win: 10 minutes to Wilton Manors nightlife, 12 to Fort Lauderdale Beach, 15 to Las Olas, and just 2 miles from DRV PNK Stadium (Inter Miami CF). Close to FLL Airport, the Galleria Mall, and downtown Fort Lauderdale — great for leisure, long weekends, and remote-work stays.
Outside, relax on the patio, grill up a meal, or soak up the Florida sunshine while friends and family enjoy the heated pool. A perfect home base for your Fort Lauderdale trip.
Dogs and cats welcome. Free onsite parking. Long stays (30+ nights) encouraged.

Nice neighborhood, pool was refreshing, and close enough to the beach and everything we were in FL for. Beds were comfy, plenty of towels and other supplies.
Home was clean and full of light. Small 1 story bungalow type with a huge back patio/pool area. Kitchen was equipped with the essentials, and my kids loved, loved the ice cream machine. Host was super helpful and able to turn up pool heater remotely. We even walked a few blocks down to enjoy one of the local restaurants. We will be back this summer for a much longer stay.

Thank you for the feedback, we hope to see y'all again.
We had a great time at this property. The pool was so refreshing in this heat. The host was very communicative and responding quickly to any requests we had. We had no issues with check in or check out. It was very clean! All homes have some issues with wear and tear but it was very clean! Super close to restaurants and the beach. We loved Fort Lauderdale by the sea beach and it was only 10-15 min away. Also only 20 minutes from the casino! Would stay again!

Thanks for the feedback Juliana! We hope to host you again soon!
This Bungalo is very cute and spacious enough for My husband and I and a visit for a week from my granddaughter her husband and child. The pool is rather exceptional, deep enough at one end to swim around and not touch and reasonably deep at the shallow end. The pool is surrounded by a nice privacy fence and plenty of plants and tropical foliage, giving it a very vacation like atmosphere. It was immaculate when we arrived and the beds were very comfortable, and there were plenty of pillows. It was very close to several restaurants that we enjoy and a short drive to the beaches at Lauderdale by the sea, Pompano, and Ft Lauderdale. We especially enjoyed that we were allowed to bring our dogs and we went to the canine beach at Ft Lauderdale. This beach is not crowded and a great place to take the pups. The fencing in the back is secure so that your dogs can run around while you were enjoying the pool and you don’t have to worry about them. We seem to have everything we needed and are planning to go again next year to this very house I recommend this location for those looking to enjoy a pool and proximity to beautiful beaches and restaurants.

Beautiful property but needed some attention
Our family stayed for one night prior to boarding a cruise. The check in process and host were fine. The issues we experienced were an inoperable sofa bed, which caused one of my nieces to have to sleep in the recliner and the other just laid on the couch. The bathroom closest to the Maater bedroom was dirty. When I lifted the handheld wand off the wsll, the entire fixture came out shooting water straight across the shower. I was able to turn off the water quickly to minimize water damage but clearly that fixture had been broken for sometime. There was nothing to hold it in place…not a screw, bolt or even grout. Needless to say, having eight people use one bathroom and two people basically sleeping sitting up wasn’t what we expected. Use the insurance policy we were required to purchase to get those issues resolved.

We hate that you had these issues staying at our home and greatly appreciate you letting us know. The sofa bed pull out handle is on top of the sofa between the 2 main cushions. It is a long leather pull strap. (I’ll update that in the handbook as well!)
Thank you for the swift action with the shower handheld! We have replaced that right away. Have a great new years!!
