Before arriving, we were greeted with a very kind message from the owner explaining what to expect when arriving and where to find things. To say the least, our family was very excited to get away. Upon arrival, that excitement quickly went downhill. Now I am not saying that everything there was bad, because it was not. The space was great for our family with the bedroom situation and the outdoor "gathering" area by the pool where we spent a great majority of our time together. The location was great, right on the canal, and not a far walk or circuit ride from the action of the town. Aside from these wonderful things, there were many issues that we encountered. As soon as we walked in, we were immediately hit with a wall of mold and mildew smell which to say the least was very overwhelming, especially when there are people who come in to the house with breathing issues, this was a major health concern (a few of us got sick from this problem). In fact we found a whole door covered in mold due to bags of dirty linens in a closet, which we think was a main culprit of this issue. Moving into the kitchen, there are broken floor tiles, the dishwasher was not mounted to the counter top so it would fall forward when we put dishes into the dishwasher, and there was not a kitchen towel to be found. While the pool area was great, the pool was extremely filthy, as it had lots of things floating in it and there was algae all around the edge of the pool along with a layer of algae at the bottom. In the guest house there were several lightbulbs that were not working and there were snails all along the back side of the toilet. The property manager was very kind and willing to do what he could to help, it was very appreciated but ultimately it was not enough. We were told that the pool was going to be cleaned on Sunday, then it got changed to Monday, and then it got changed to Thursday, and it was never done. If you are looking for a place to stay that has mold and mildew, uncomfortable beds, is fairly unkept and have a wonderful 8am wakeup call by roofers while you are on vacation, this is the place to stay.

The property was very cozy and accommodating. We really enjoyed the pool, and the additional space on the property. The Property Manager was very friendly and helpful.

Very quite house but close enough to a lot of things to do. Enjoyed the stay.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but the house needs some maintenance, better upkeep and a good cleaning. The toilet in the master bathroom did not flush when we arrived. Greg immediately responded and sent someone out the same day to make the repair. I then walked out the patio door from the dining room and the lock fell off the door onto the floor. There are broken tiles on the kitchen floor with broken pieces just sitting there. There was a pile of beach chairs and a large pool float sitting in the backyard. The chairs were pretty rusty and some broken, the float was aired up, but had a hole in it. Only one of the 3 bedroom TVs were working. I could not get the master bedroom TV to even power on. The owner really needs to look into hiring a new cleaning company. I found a used bar of soap in the master shower along with an empty wrapper. The doors and doorframes were extremely dirty and the floors were not very clean. The small trundle bed/couch was very stained and we had to cover it with sheets before anyone could sit on it. We loved the pool and the location of the property and the house could be really nice with some additional updating and cleaning.

The house was in a very nice neighborhood with marina across the street. The neighbors were very pleasant and the house is in such a great location. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach and close to many stores, restaurants and parks. The main house was comfortable, clean, well decorated, and spacious. The beds throughout the main house and cottage were the most comfortable we had ever slept on! The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and utensils with a large dining table that we all could sit at together. No need to bring any beach towels-there were plenty! The cottage was a really nice addition and it was nice having that separate space after the kids went to bed. As well as having that extra bathroom- most houses we found only had 2 bathrooms. With all of that being said the best part of this property was the backyard and where we spent most of our time. The pool was perfect size for our 3 kids. We used the grill almost daily, ate outside and even set up our projector for outdoor movie nights. The addition of the landscaping made it truly feel like we were on vacation. When we come back to South Florida, this is the place we will continue to stay!!! The hosts were prompt to respond with any questions or concerns throughout the week. If there is a place for suggestions of improvements: twin beds in 1 room so kids do not have to share a bed, mats in all of the bathrooms, kitchen, leading out onto the patio--- as the ceramic tile got a little slippery at times. Overall, you will not be disappointed if you are looking for a house with lots of space for large family or multiple families.

We loved the house. Having a private pool was great. We really liked the separate living quarters for the teens that were with us. The house was well equipped. The area was nice and it was a short walk to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay.

This house is perfect for a family vacation. There were six of us and the house was more than big enough for us. The extra in-law unit was perfect for two (although you could probably fit more if needed). And it was close but completely separate if someone has young ones that want to go to bed early or teenagers (like me) that want to stay up later. The pool was great...one day we just hung there all day and didn't even go to the beach. It's a quick 5-10 minute walk to the beach and it's almost like having your own semi-private beach. It's nice to not deal with the crowds at the main beach near the Pompano Pier. With that being said, you're only a mile from the pier and it's an easy walk or drive. Plus there is plenty of parking at the Pier. Also great for running in the morning. Location is great. The street is quiet. And you have easy access to the beach and great restaurants either in Pompano or Deerfield (only 5 miles north). Would definitely recommend!
