Hello Aly, Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the location and that the property was a great fit for two families. The short walk to the beach and local restaurants really does make it a convenient and fun spot for everyone. We hope to welcome you back again soon! Michelle Martin
We stayed here with another family of four and really enjoyed the house and proximity to LBTS town center and beach. We have stayed in a few different houses in the area and this one was great.

Hi Merrill, Thanks so much for choosing to stay in our home! We are so glad both of your families made some great memories! Hope to see you all again soon! Michelle Martin
We really enjoyed our stay here and it lived up to our expectations. It was a short walk to the beach, the pool was great, and the dock with kayaking/fishing kept us entertained. There was plenty of room for all of us, so even on the days everyone stayed in, we were all comfortable.
We would definitely stay again!

I loved staying at this property!! The house was very clean upon arrival, and Michelle was extremely accommodating throughout our stay! We walked to the beach to see the sunrise, and enjoyed shopping at the local stores around!! I cannot wait to return next year, and will be recommending to my friends!
We had 4 adults and 4 kids and we had plenty of room! We enjoyed the pool and a short walk to the beach! The neighbor was also a wonderful guy who let me kids use fishing poles and even helped us identify what they were catching. We really enjoyed it!

Loved our stay! The house was big enough for our group. Having a nice big dining table to eat at was wonderful. We loved the pool and being on the water. Everyone loved the canoes and pool table. I would highly recommend staying at this house for a relaxing week!
We had a great time, adults and kids alike. Pool was perfect, house had plenty of room with lots to do. Close walk to beach and easy access to a lot of great restaurants. Michelle was also attentive and responsive, highly recommend. Thanks!

This is the third time we have stayed at this location with our family of 8-11 and it is a great location. Michelle is very responsive.
Our children and grandchildren love the house. Works well in how it is arranged.
This was our third year at this rental and it didn't measure up to the standards we'd seen before. Hopefully this was a one-time occurrence.

Hi Vicki,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We truly appreciate your continued loyalty over the past three years, and we're very sorry to hear that your experience this time did not meet the standards you've come to expect.
We’re especially sorry to hear that your grandchild was unwell upon arrival — that’s never how anyone wants to begin a stay. We understand how stressful that must have been. Please note that, as stated in our listing, we provide a starter supply of essentials and limited paper products. We recommend guests bring additional supplies for longer stays or unexpected needs.
Thank you again for booking with us for next year — we truly value your continued trust. We’re looking forward to welcoming you back and hope to provide the excellent experience you’ve enjoyed in the past. See you soon! Michelle Matin
Our trip involved 3 of our adult children partners and our granddaughter coming for various parts of our stay along with my parents for a few days so we were looking for a house that could accommodate a large group. This house is ideal for a large group (10 of us total) and provides a great variety of areas for people to play and relax. The location is ideal with a short walk to the beach and close to shopping and restaurants. The house is not brand new but everything was in working order and all the items listed in the listing were available for our use during our stay. We will definitely consider this home for a future visit.

Luxury at Lauderdale By The Sea
I recently stayed at "Coral Reef" Beach House in Fort Lauderdale by the Sea. Such a gorgeous home, with so many awesome amenities: the Best being the absolutely beautiful pool! I thoroughly enjoyed my time there! In fact, my family and I are already making plans for next year. I absolutely 100% recommend this house to stay for anyone! ~Susan

Hi Susan,
The pool is gorgeous- great water view! Nothing better than walking back from the beach- hitting the outdoor surf board shower & lounging by the pool! Hope to see you soon & thanks again for staying!

We had 5 teenagers and 4 adults and this house was perfect for everyone. We were there for a training trip with our kids and it had all the amenities to make it relaxing for the parents and a wide range of activities for the kids at the end of their days! The pool and kayaks were a big hit and the house was more than big enough to accommodate all of us! (And the PS4 and pool table were definite pluses!). The location was just close enough to the beach and made us all feel like we were in a safe environment! We will definitely book for all future training trips!
The house was great for us, had the right amount of beds and a pool. We had a lot of rain while we were there so the pool saved us as the kids could pop in between storms. The house was also close to the beach so that was easy as well. Everything was easy with check in and using the property. Any problem we had was handled immediately. The cleanliness of the house, which is even more important these days, was outstanding. We had a fabulous time!

Thanks so much for the great review! I always feel so bad when I can't control the weather for the guests!! Coral Reef Beach house has such a great pool & tiki hut area - glad the kids were able to enjoy it!! Hope to see you back soon, we certainly enjoyed your family staying with us & hope you have created some great family memories!

Cleanliness was impressive. Having 2 bikes and kayaks was great. Having beach chairs available for the beach was a plus. Spent many days/nights pool side or in the Tiki-Hut. Loacation is close to beach after a short walk and coolers were available on site. You will need to pack your own fishing pole or purchase one if you choose to fish in the channel as the one available at the home is busted. We did get a visit from some manatees one evening! Thank you for a great week!

My family and I stayed for two weeks and couldn't have asked for a better trip. There were 6 adults and 3 kids and everyone was entertained. The game room was great for the kids and the house has everything you need inside from dishes, to games, to books, it's all there. Very spacious and no one got in each other's way. The Tiki Hut next to the pool overlooking the canal was the hangout spot for the adults, we loved it. As an added bonus, Joe the neighbor, is a fisherman and you can order fresh fish from him and you get his details from the property manager upon check-in. He also was kind enough to lend us fishing poles and bait. This vacation was amazing, we were so sad to go and hope to be back again.

Coral Reef Property 3/2021
We had a great vacation. I was surprised with the walk to the beach though - definitely farther than expected by the time we had to walk to a beach access point down the road. The house was great for our two families and offered lots of options. Next time I feel a rental car would be needed if we wanted to venture out more. The grocery store is .6 miles away but that’s far when you are carrying bags of groceries. Also, other than Sea Watch- it is over a mile to any other restaurant and more than that to any excursion such as parasailing, boat tours, fishing expeditions, etc. This was a perfect house to just stay and relax in for vacation!

Thanks so much for staying with us! It's hard to say how far is too far to walk for each person! But, it is less than a football field away! There is also a free shuttle that goes through town everydayuntil 10:00 pm at night! Just download the App!

Had a great stay property was perfect.
Family of 8 with 2 grandchildren (7&1). The house was perfect for all. Everything was in good working order. Weather cooperated & we caught a variety fish right off the dock. A couple of manatees even stopped by for a visit on several occasions. Short walk to the beach which we did everyday. Michelle was great in communicating all aspects of the home & offered excellent suggestions on places to eat. She made it simple to get into a relaxed state as soon as we arrived, even provided a welcome package of goodies to start our week off right. Basic paper products were in place upon arrival which was convenient. Publix grocery & ABC store was perfectly located right down the street. La Spada is certainly worth a visit if you want an original hoagie! There were plenty of beach & pool towels. Beach equipment (chairs/toys/umbrellas, etc.) were all provided. We made some great memories & would go back again.

Fun for all ages in this immaculate totally updated house
My husband and I rented this house for a week and brought our son and daughter, their spouses and our two grandchildren, 4 and 7 years old. I am not sure who had the best time. Whatever your age, there is entertainment for everyone including a very nice pool table, arcade game that every one of us played, poker/card table, 80 inch TV with Netflix, etc on it, beautiful pool area, fishing rods to fish from the deck, all sorts of pool and beach accessories and the list goes on and on. There are many seating areas, including table and chairs to eat on in the pool area. Also a very nice barbq.
The house has obviously been remodeled recently and in very good taste. Everything is in perfect condition and working order. It is a very nice and short walk to a beautiful beach. The entrance to the beach is right next door to a very good and beautiful restaurant on the beach called Seawatch.
The house is so comfortable in every way and convenient to anything you might need, including restaurants, CVS, every type of store, including a Publix grocery store, all within a few minutes of the house. The kitchen is beautiful and TOTALLY stocked with everything imaginable.
The keyless entry was a big plus and the rental agency was very good to deal with. I really do not have a negative thing to say about this house. Try it. You will love it.

Not What I Expected for the Price
The owner did get us in an hour early, which we appreciated, but when we got there the air was not working properly, it was very warm, it finally cooled off in to the night. The Margarita machine that was the selling point for us was not there. The bicycles were old and rusty with torn seat covers, which I had to put towels on to ride, because the seats had water in them and got our shorts wet. The walk to the beach was a lot farther than we expected, we ended up driving to other beaches so we did not have to carry all of our items across and down the street. The pool toys were not well taken care of and inflatables were on the ground and dirty. The Margarita replacement machine was supposed to arrive on Wednesday, but ended up not getting there until Thursday. Thursday during the night our air went out again and did not get fixed until Friday evening. The temperature was so hot we had to leave to eat and ended up leaving frozen pizzas that we had bought to fix in the oven. The water in one of the showers was only cold.
We felt this could be a really nice place if whoever is taking care of it is paying attention to detail and taking care of little things like putting batteries in the remotes, replacing air filters in the air conditioner, pool lights fixed, better cleaning standards, etc
This was my first time using VBRO, which I will probably not use again. For what we paid I expected more than what we got. I also believe that we should get a partial refund for the issues we had.
The house was great, there were 9 of us. Plenty of room for sleeping and bathrooms to accommodate all. Pool was beautiful. Neighbors were friendly and informative as to the area. Short Uber rides to downtown restaurants and night life. Beach across the street. Great place would rent again.
