Paradise Awaits!

This home was absolutely paradise! Conveniently located to everything you could possibly want to do. It was extremely spacious for our family of 7. The backyard was a tropical delight with pool, spa and outdoor entertainment/bar area. Beach and restaurants were minutes away and easy to get to. The host, Rolf, was extremely easy to communicate with and made sure our stay was top notch. We will definitely book again!

I cannot praise this home enough. Rolf was a great host-showing us where everything was and checking in to make sure we were okay. He went above and beyond. The home itself has a cool layout and funky vibe and it’s huuuuuge, even for our group of 9. Overall everything was super clean and the pool area was pristine. We spent most of our time in or by the pool and hot tub. The boys played putt-putt and utilized the “men’s room” containing the pool table every day. Plenty to do inside and out. We loved our stay here! Will definitely be recommending this home to our other family members and may even come back next year!

Familienurlaub

Das Haus ist sehr gut gelegen, sehr geräumig, äusserst gut ausgestattet und in einem ruhigen Teil von Pompano. Der Strand ist in fünf Minuten mit dem Auto zu erreichen und im Haus gibt es Sonnenschirme und Stühle. Rolf ist der ideale Gastgeber und steht immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite.

Best Host Experience Ever

We rent as a family nearly every year somewhere in the Greater Fort Lauderdale Area and have had many experiences. Rolf as a host was second to none. Attentive, proactive, and wants you to have a good time while you are there. We didn't even have to take out the garbage.The home was well cared for, clean, maintenance and upkeep was the best we've seen. If I had to leave a "could be better" it might be more options for King beds as only the primary had one. But otherwise it was spectacular. We will be booking again next year.

Perfect Staycation!

We needed more space with family coming to town and made the right choice with this rental!! The house was immaculately clean and had plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The beautiful saltwater pool with a soothing waterfall was a highlight. The owner was very attentive and made sure we knew he would help if we needed absolutely anything! We will definitely rent again.

About the host

Hosted by Rolf Kraus

Host profile image
My name is Rolf and I am the owner of this property. I was born in Germany, but have lived in Florida for over 30 yrs. My family and I lived in this home for many years and my son grew up here. I strive to be a good host and my goal is to ensure guests feel at home on the property and enjoy the many amenities, especially in the back yard as I have had a hand in building most of it.

What makes this property unique

How many properties have a 5-hole putting green? It's been a wonderful addition and has proven to be a lot of fun for golfers and non-golfers alike!
