12 women stayed together in the home and it was PERFECTION. Plenty of space for everyone to feel comfortable. We loved the location, so easy to get everywhere we wanted to go and so easy with ubers and golfcarts. The pool as a great spot. Host was extremely responsive and easy to work with.

We had a such a nice time. There is lots of space in the house but we were outside most of the time. The heated pool was wonderful. I loved the tropical vibe in the yard. The beds are very comfortable. The house was very clean. It’s about a mile walk to the beach. Ubers were also quick to go anywhere you wanted. We had a great stay.

Thank you for another outstanding rating. I am really glad that your group of 8 manly Minnesota men had such a great weekend fishing, golfing and hitting the beach.

Loved the outside area where you could hang at the pool, on the dock, or take a kayak ride in the canal. Communication with the owner was easy and they were very helpful with any questions.

Amazing location, accommodating management

It is a beautiful property with a great outdoor area that allows for rented boats to pick you up from the dock. The manager, Leo, kindly let us check in many hours earlier to accommodate our morning arrival. It's about a 20 minute, easy walk to the beach and bars/restaurants. Great set-up for all kinds of groups.

Great for a group!

We rented this property for a bachelorette weekend and it was THE BEST stay! The location is perfect - decent walk but easy Uber to everywhere. The view of the canal was lovely. The pool was perfect, we spent the whole weekend in there! I'm pretty sure it's natural salt water so no chlorine to mess with your hair for the weekend fellow bachelorette parties! The property managers were accommodating and so responsive. Highly recommend staying at this property if you're looking for a Fort Lauderdale getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Lance waldbueser

Host profile image
My name is Lance and I manage multiple vacation properties in Fort Lauderdale with my wife, sister and her husband. We are all Georgia natives but have lived in South Florida for over 10 years. We have been super host on both major platforms since 2011. My wife and I have three children and we love to travel. Don’t forget to ask me how you can save up to an additional $1,000 off of your vacation.

Why they chose this property

Once you vacation at Ft Lauderdale Beach, you will understand 'why this is paradise.' And you will be staying at the most perfect location in the nation's most relaxing city. I rented homes for two years in this area waiting for this particular location to go up for sale. When it finally did, I bought it the first week on the market. You will love it also. This home was voted one of the top 12 vacation homes in Fort Lauderdale in 2021.
https://wanderingwheatleys.com/best-airbnbs-fort-lauderdale-florida-vacation-rentals/ .

What makes this property unique

The close proximity to the beach make it easy to visit the beach for a couple of hours and come back for a nap or just spend the whole day. The corner lot gives us beautiful outdoor views on three sides of the home. The hedges on 3 sides provide extreme back yard and pool privacy. While eating breakfast on the upstairs bedroom balconies, we have great views of the canal and Seven Isles Lake.
