Small unit but good location within walking distance to the beach. Pretty basic accommodations. Close to restaurants and night-time activities, but good soundproofing so noise was not a problem.

Wonderful stay

This was a nice unit located right next to downtown Lauderdale by the Sea. You’re an extremely short walk from the beach and multiple fun restaurants/bars. Wayne and Rob were wonderful hosts that were extremely responsive. I highly recommend staying at this property if you’re looking for a fun getaway close to the beach.

The only place to be!

I stayed in this property for 3 weeks and it is a great value, very clean with new furnishings. Jan was wonderful and very accommodating. The unit is less than a minutes walk from the best that the area has to offer, a great beach, nice dining options and shopping. I highly recommend this property and would stay there again.

Perfect location

This location was absolutely perfect, easy stroll to the beach, and around the corner from all the restaurants. It's right on A1A so a little noisy but the location made up for that. It was nice to have a full kitchen. Communication with property manager was very good, property manager was very responsive to every question.

I’ll be back for sure

This was one of the best BnBs I have stayed in. It is conveniently located. I only drove my car twice in one week. It was well appointed and an on-site manager catered to every need. It was one of the first that I actually enjoyed hanging out in.

Great place with everything you need to stay and cook a meal as well if needed

Over all great place: clean, organized, had necessary cooking utensils and supplies. Enough towels, clean bedding. Newer furniture. Nice outdoor sitting area. Very close to the beach and to the local restaurants. The only downside was the place is not smoking free, so neighbors smoked and even with airing out the apartment smell of cigarettes was there the whole time.

We agree on the smoking issue, we only allow smoking outdoors. No longer an issue.

We had a very nice time in Lauderdale-By-the-Sea

Cosy little studio, tastefully decorated. In prime location. Only two minutes to the beautiful beach, nice shops, and restaurants of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Thin walls, so it can be a little loud if you have noisy neighbors. Wayne (the landlord) imidiately helped to resolve noise complaints. We are looking forward to staying here again.

Fun in the sun!

This studio was the perfect location. Everything was within walking distance. The studio itself was nice, looked like it was just remodeled, the only complaint I had was the window air conditioner was so loud. But, it is what it is. It would have been worse with out it.

Not as advertised

Upon arrival noted there was no pool nor patio as shown in the confirmation. After entering, the smell of mold/milden was overpowering! Could not stay Very disappointed with the entire experience. Had to scramble to find an alternative accommodation for the night. Property manager ignored our complaint. Owner unresponsive after I wanted money refunded. RUN

The picture that you took a screen shot shows that VRBO made this mistake, of showing a picture of a property with a pool, I told this guest that VRBO would take care of them with a full refund as this was obviously VRBO's fault. Had tenants a week after this reservation with no comments of mold,check the property the next day, everything was fine.

5 stars probably for most people

Location is excellent. Very clean inside and Rob the super keeps the outside very clean and is pleasant to talk to. More room inside than expected, however, the commode is barely wide enough for me and I am not big. The shower was beautifully done and very roomy, however, there are no shelves of any sort to hold soap, shampoo etc.There are security cameras but the perimeter cameras are pointless not being recorded and my car was damaged while the cameras could have caught the culprit if recorded and that put a bit of a damper on the experience plus the parking spots are like the commode with barely enough room to maneuver. If you don’t have a vehicle to worry about and the other minor issues are not a concern then this is a five star place. I simply personally could not give it five due to unfortunate events. Can’t blame them for the event but the cameras should be recording or they are pointless.

Great Location!

Villa Bettina is right in the heart of everything vacation! Walk everywhere is easy. We spent 5 weeks in the studio apt and found it easily adequate for out comfort. Neighbors were all easy going and friendly. Our plans changed and we needed a few extra days and Wayne worked to accommodate our needs. Whether strolling along Commercial or walking to the pavillion to sit and read for a while. What an absolutely great location to enjoy the warm weather! We will be back.
