This beautifully updated 750 sq ft cottage offers everything you need for a relaxing long-term stay, whether you’re a professional on assignment, a couple escaping the winter cold, or a traveler seeking peace, privacy, and proximity to everything this tropical city has to offer.

A Home Designed for Comfort and Connection

From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the inviting energy of this property. Park easily on the east-facing side of the building along SW 8th Street, right beneath the large oak tree, and follow the path to your private entrance — the door marked “North.”
As you step inside, you’re welcomed into a space that blends modern simplicity with cozy warmth. Every corner has been thoughtfully designed to make you feel at home — whether you’re staying for a month or an entire season.

The open living area is bright and airy, with natural light streaming through the windows and highlighting the soft, neutral tones of the décor. A comfortable and functional decor invites you to unwind after a day exploring Fort Lauderdale. Enjoy your favorite shows or movies on the Smart TV with streaming and cable, or connect to the high-speed Wi-Fi for work or entertainment.

A Fully Equipped Kitchen for Everyday Living

Whether you’re preparing a quick breakfast before heading to the beach or cooking a full dinner, the kitchen provides everything you need. It’s stocked with modern appliances, cookware, dishes, utensils, and essentials like coffee, tea, and basic condiments.
The bright countertops and clean design make it a pleasant space to cook, share meals, and connect. There’s also a dining area that comfortably seats four — perfect for intimate dinners or working remotely over coffee.

Two Comfortable Bedrooms, Each with Ensuite Bathrooms

Cottage North offers two private bedrooms, each designed to provide comfort, quiet, and restorative sleep.
Both rooms feature queen-sized beds with quality linens and soft pillows, ensuring you rest well after a day in the Florida sun.
Each bedroom also has its own ensuite bathroom, complete with fresh bath towels, beach towels and hand soap for your convenience.
You’ll find ample closet space, nightstands, and reading lamps — all designed for a relaxed, easy stay.

Your Private Tropical Garden

Step outside to your own private tropical backyard — a hidden gem that truly makes this property special.
Enjoy the wooden deck surrounded by lush tropical greenery and shaded by the beautiful oak tree, this space is perfect for sipping your morning coffee, journaling, meditating, or enjoying an evening glass of wine.
You’ll feel a world away from the bustle, even though you’re right in the heart of Fort Lauderdale.

Walt and Lee I.

great!

We shy away from hotels/motels whenever we can and this condo was ideal. This was a real home away from home for us, like being in a small version of home. Clean and well equipped. Kitchen was great for some home cooking at the end of the day. We will look to stay again when we are in the area. Gaia was very helpful.

Was adequate for our needs

Nice quiet neighborhood - quite small but adequate. Bed was too soft and a/c never got below 75 - a bit too warm for us as well.

Perfect

Stayed 2 nights in December and the whole experience was absolutely amazing. The owner was very helpful and welcoming. The place was perfect: very clean, modern, comfortable and affordable. Love the location as it is close to everything we needed, including the airport which is only 9mins away. This will be definitely be our main spot for vacation in Fort Lauderdale. Great experience, highly recommend staying here.
