It's less than two blocks to the beach and a short walk to the city's spectacular new oceanfront promenade, new fishing pier, dive boats and dozens of shops and restaurants.

Before the double French door entry is a large, screened-in porch with tropical garden views, white wicker furniture including dining table that seats four and George Foreman electric grill for your exclusive use. Additional after-beach shower at back door. Includes free wi-fi, free parking, no resort fees, flat-screen cable TV, books, family games, linens, iron/board, cleaning tools, beach towels, cooler, beach chairs, A/C, heat, one free parking space per unit in off-street parking in front of property.

Never again

The property was fine. When I heard the owner had to meet us in person before we could check in i thought it was a nice personal touch, but it was a lecture about all the things I would be charged for if I did or did not do. She told us that if we were the kind of people who used a fresh towel every day we would have to wash them before check out. unbelievable. We were made to feel like she was taking us in not paying guest. We left a day early and will never rely on this website again. We vacation at least 6 times a year and have never run across anything like this!

Nice cottage convenient location.

Stayed for four nights and wished we had booked for a longer period of time. Cottage was very comfortable for my wife and I. Quiet side street with a very short walk to the beach. Property was well maintained and our interactions with Elaine were great. Check in process was very easy and Elaine made herself available for all our questions and requests. Highly recommend.

Vintage Cottage

Upon our very late night arrival we were greeted with a well light cottage and easy keyless entry. Our location was a a quick 5 minute walk to the attractive Pompano Beach. Our unit was nicely decorated and the king size bed was most comfortable. We were visiting family who enjoyed sitting in the screened in patio and playing games and catching up. The garden area is quite lush and the neighborhood was guilt and calm during the week of Spring Break. Many close by restaurants and a lovely consignment store well worth the visit. We would love to come and stay again.

About the host

Host profile image
I was a TV news reporter for 15 years, then owned and operated a PR firm in South Florida. Today I am a hotelier, with five top-rated boutique properties by the beach, all blocks apart and listed on this site, including this one. I am a hands-on owner and my goal is to ensure that all of our guests have a safe, clean, comfortable and memorable stay. My hobbies are photography, travel and dancing (ballroom, Latin, Argentine Tango, Country, Swing and Hustle). I am professional, educated, volunteer in my community, was raised with manners, am active, healthy, non-smoker and believe in treating everyone with kindness and respect.

Why they chose this property

This property is part of my group of boutique lodgings that was awarded 2019 Small Business of the Year for Tourism by the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber. We are also a multiple White Glove Award winner by the Superior Small Lodging Association for attaining 100-percent perfect scores in annual surprise inspections. We follow strict health and safety protocols to protect our staff and guests.

What makes this property unique

With us, you are not renting from an absentee owner. There is always someone to help. I live ten minutes away, and our full-time maintenance chief keeps our places looking and running amazing all of the time. He and I are always available to help you with your questions and needs.
