About this house rental
The 'Ultimate Beach House' is the perfect house for a beach getaway or family reunion . Our house is a one of a kind beach house built in the early 1960s and was remodeled in 2014 and is unlike any other house in Ft. Lauderdale. Voted best beach house in Los Olas on the beach. It is a "5 level" beach cottage that has 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, dining room with seating for 12, living room, and breakfast area with seating for 4. There is a great bunk room downstairs for the kids that sleeps 4. Also downstairs is a huge hangout area with a big screen TV, pool table, and a pull out couch that turns into a king bed. We have a 24ft beautiful Swimming Pool with a small water fall. We have an out door seating area and beach chairs for 13 people. It can sleep 12 to 19 people comfortably. Everything in the house was remodeled in 2014 from the floors to the windows to the two 80" big screen TVS, pool table and new furniture. But this is not your fancy white wall new house. The house is an Fort Lauderdale original house that is full of beach personality and spirit.
We are located perfectly close to everything. Most importantly we are only 97 steps from the beach. We are 2 miles from Los Olas blvd, 1.2 miles from Galleria mall, 1 mile from Target, 1.2 miles from Publix grocery.
When you rent our house you will get our ' How to enjoy Ft. Lauderdale Book' This is a book of all the best restaurants, movie theaters, fun things to do, Nightlife locations and all those secret places only the locals know about.
We have everything you need for the beach I including 10 beach chairs , beach towels, beach umbrellas and a cooler.
Our goal for you is to have the best vacation ever. Renting our house is not just a house rental, its a decision to not just stay in a normal house, but in the Ultimate Beach House!!!!!

Location was wonderful. Place decorated nicely and had everything you could want. Unfortunately, the pictures as shown on Vrbo were probably taken when it was new. The place shows a lot of wear and tear. Large enough to accommodate a large group. Called property manager when we arrived late to say coffee pot missing from coffee maker. Next morning brand new coffee maker was outside door. That is great service. Overall good stay but not best property we stayed at.

We had a great week with family. Perfect for 2 separate families to stay under the same roof and still be able to have some private time when needed. The pool a with the close proximity to the ocean gave us the feel of an ocean front condominium but having the benefit of multi room house. Our family “beaches” all over and this property stands out as one of our favorite places. Fort Lauderdale is great and we would love to recreate the experience down the road.

From the moment we landed the house manager was in contact with us. They actually got us in earlier for check in which was nice surprise. The house was even better in person! It has anything you could think of needing from pots, pans, our own pool, pool rafts, beach chairs, towels, coolers, canopy for the beach and beach stroller! We were a party of 10 and had tons of room to spread out. Very clean! Absolutely perfect for us Moms and our daughters. Definitely planning our next trip with the girls here next year!

This was one of the best vacations we took with family. We had 9 adults, everyone had the perfect space. The house was big enough where everyone felt comfortable. It was perfect for walking to the beach. When everyone had enough of the beach we walked back and relaxed by the pool. Perfect place, would do it there every year.

We came to celebrate with my 89 year old dad and our 5 year old grandson. There were 10 of us and plenty of room! There happened to be a monsoon ( 10 inches of rain!!) and we lost power for a day. The host was AMAZING and sent a care package with everything we needed.. ( including wine!!) House was beautiful and very well stocked with everything you need ( pans-plates-dishes..ect) The ocean view from mammoth dining room table was awesome. Would 100% return -Side note- we have never stayed at a VRBO property that was SO awesome about heating pool.. was a definite plus as we have one at home and keep it around 87 degrees and this felt the same! Leo - the caretaker was a absolute gem to work with and VERY responsive!

It was a wonderful experience. The home was super comfortable, very clean, had all the necessities, in a great neighborhood that is right across from the beach, a wonderful pool and we would definitely stay there again. It did not let us down and we are pretty spoiled. Thank you !

Spacious, clean, beautiful location. We all had such a wonderful time together whether at the beach, 1/2 block, sitting at the pool, or enjoying the house together! Memories made, never to be forgotten!

This was a perfect location for a family getaway. The pool was awesome, the beach just a few steps away (you do have to cross a street, but it was never an issue, even with young children) The house was perfect- a true beach house. Most well stocked kitchen of any VRBO I've ever rented and the host had plenty of pool toys, floats, beach towels, etc. Highly recommend!

5.0 / 5.0
For a home built in the 1940's its a pretty nice home, but it needs some love (maintenance). But it was perfect for my family on 9, we all enjoyed the stay and the home has some niche areas that we all loved. We would go back for sure.
5.0 / 5.0
House is really great. Super close to the beach & lots of bars / restaurants. Very responsive hosts. Super clean & organized. Slightly rustic and cozy. Stocked with everything you need and comfortable enough for large groups to have privacy. 10/10 recommend.
5.0 / 5.0
The house was great - its location was very close to the beach - its a busy street, so may want to make sure the kids are with adults, but if you have a patience (wait a minute or 2) you always find an opening.
The space was amazing, very beach like feel - and lots of space - enough for our 3 families.
Pool was great - kitchen fully stocked,
The area had just about the worst rain/hail storm I've ever seen - and there were a few leaks in the roof (which was apparently newly installed) - we are pretty easy going so didn't bother us - we put small bowl and moved on - The owners were concerned so I think they will fix it - but felt I needed to mention - we didn't care at all.
I'm not a good reviewer - so I will just say this. The place was gtreat, our whole group loved it. Yes, maybe some minor things that were not 5 star (grill maybe., a kitchen cabinet, the roof) but all minor in my opinion and didn't matter. We would stay there again with the exact same condition and be happy as can be. I only mention this because some people are complaimers about every little thing.....

Had a great weekend with friends while we went to tortuga music festival. The house was clean and had everything we needed. It was awesome to be so close to the beach. Spent a lot of time in the pool and grilled. Having three parking spots was the only aspect of our stay which we had to sort through as we had multiple people driving in to town separately. Overall we had a wonderful time and would love to stay here again.
4.0 / 5.0
Overall, the property suited our needs well for our family vacation (9 adults and 3 kids 5 and under). Access to the beach was quick and easy, although we recommend bringing or renting a wagon to haul gear to the beach. We utilized the pool a lot and only wish we had paid for use of the heater on some cooler/more overcast days. While it was nice to have a person give you a lay of the land at check-in, we had delayed flights that complicated our ability to effectively coordinate with the check-in person. The property is somewhat well worn for the price point and seems to have a few piecemeal additions. For example, one of the master bedrooms had a loud window AC unit and a very small personal water heater that led to a few cold showers.
A few nuanced things if you are planning to travel with young children. 1. There are tons of stairs in this home, which requires constant vigilance if you have young toddlers/inexperienced walkers. They do provide a few baby gates, which is helpful. 2. There are lots of breakable decorative objects in the home that you will need to be mindful of. 3. The bunk room has no window coverings, so it is very bright (a challenge during nap time if your kiddos are used to a dark room). 4. A small section of the second story deck is not kid safe (lacking appropriate safety railing).
Overall, the house has some nice amenities and is in a quieter area of Fort Lauderdale with good access to the beach.

Being so close to the beach was fantastic for our group with little kids. The house was clean and very cute! Lots of stairs but there were baby gates that we installed for safety. Host/greeter was very nice and helpful! All around a great stay!

Believe all the glowing reviews. This beach house was amazing. We were here with 13 people and never felt crowded or cramped. Ample seating everywhere, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, best pool area with both sun and shade…I could go on and on. Beach access was super easy and it was a nice, quiet area. We had some minor communication issues, but it didn’t affect our time much. We thoroughly enjoyed making memories as a family. It was hard to leave! We highly recommend this place!!

We loved this house for a bachelorette weekend. It was big enough for a good sized group to all have their space, including the common areas. Having the pool, various outdoor hangout spots and the beach is literally across the street was ideal for the kind of trip we wanted. Beautiful house, would stay again!
5.0 / 5.0
We had an incredible experience and stay. It was so great to be greeted upon arrival, informed of the area and toured through the home.
Location was super convenient, just across the road from beach and home was furnished well.
We stayed with my parents and they thoroughly enjoyed everything, as did our teenager and our 8, 6 and 2.5 year old too.
Highly recommend!

This is a true charming beach house. If you want a cold modern white box this isn’t it! It’s rough around the edges like I’d WANT a beach house to be. Worn in a little bit with love and use. We had the best time, and really were able to relax. This is a beautiful comfortable home steps from the beach and plenty of room to roam. The loft bed alcove was beyond. The master bedroom bath was like a car wash for people. Everyone came and used mine because it was so fabulous. This was a great house. Do not expect perfection, expect a lovely beach vacation where you can put your feet up and have a great time.

This home truly is the Ultimate Beach House! We truly loved the space and privacy within the home. The street is quiet and the location was on point - walking less than a minute to the beach was a huge plus!
The home was very clean, and they thought of every home essential you could need.
Communication with the property manager was great and they even sent someone over to show us around the home.
We highly recommended staying at the property, the space and decor were unique!

4.0 / 5.0
We loved the location and the house was great but while we were there we had some issues that never were resolved. The pool really dirty and we asked for the property manager to send someone to clean it but it never happened. There was also a stopped up drain upstairs that I called about fixing but they never sent anyone to do it. We could tell there was some wear and tear on the place as well when a piece of the dishwasher fell off, a piece of a shower in the downstairs area fell off and there were bumps and knocks all over the place. You could tell things need to be updated and addressed but they have not. When “Julian” walked us around the property on arrival, he was pulling sheets and blankets off of furniture and trying to uncover porch furniture because it had not been done beforehand. Seems like no one has been in this house for a while to look over issues and update things that needed attention. While our overall experience was a good one. For the amount of money it cost to book this, I would’ve thought everything would be in perfect working order and all issues fixed and addressed quickly and smoothly.

We came to Ft Lauderdale to attend a party at my brother’s place to celebrate the 100th birthday of my step mother. The party was only a couple of miles from your property so it all worked out well.

We had a lovely vacation at the beach! The heated pool and backyard setup were private and perfect for our family. The proximity to the beach is unbeatable and this house is located on a very quiet stretch of beach. The house has lots of space and great communal spaces to be together as a family. Leo is an excellent house manager and answered all questions promptly and professionally.

This house was in a great a great location for families. Just steps to the beach and about a 1 mile from busier areas. It had everything you would need during a vacation. The heated pool was a great option when the beach was too windy. House was cute but much more worn than the pictures portrayed. Unexpected negatives…screened porch had broken screen (but it we had no issues with bugs) and rotting wood was visible in many areas. House could use some tlc. Overall it was a great property and we would stay there again.

3.0 / 5.0
Pro's: The location of the home was excellent. It is literally right across the street from a nice beach with a lifeguard and within very close walking distance to a vibrant downtown beachy area.
Con's: pool ques are warped or tips are broken odd, many lightbulbs are not working, main level hall shower leaks into the floor area, towels were damp at check-in, washcloths are worn and 1 appeared to ne used for cleaning and left in the bathroom to dry, clawfoot tub water is turned off at the wall and leaks when on, bath tissue and paper towels were insufficient for our stay after 3 days, front yard and pool area not as shown in the ad, dry rot under porch eaves, back of pool couch is broken was covered with pillows, microwave over stove does not work so there is no exhaust fan for cooking, tabletop microwave is on the desk, lower level master shower head falls off when the water is turned on, dishwasher does not release soap so we had to hand wash everything, pool was dirty upon arrival, screened in porch door doesn't close, BBQ is too close to the wood siding so we did not use, back door to the bunk room/pool is very hard to open, several old paint cans in the backyard and a large rusted can on top of the basketball hoop, several sheets of lattice and a ladder are laying near the side yard exit. We are also asked to leave at 10:30 while check out shows 11 on the ad, check in was in person not contact free, and we had 2 visits from owners? to check in and pick up their mail but due to CDC / COVID we were asked to start the beach towels laundry and remove all bedding. I expected more and relied on the photo's but every day we just found more wrong with this house and did not feel like we had privacy here.

This is an absolutely gorgeous home across the road from a quiet section of Lauderdale Beach. The hosts were gracious, communicative, and accommodating. No complaints.

This house was awesome for my girls getaway!! The location was great and so close to the beach. We stayed at the pool most days because it was so just too nice to leave! I cannot say enough great things about Leo, the property manager. He was so accommodating and responsive! 5 stars!

What an amazing week! This property was just what needed for a week away. It comfortably fit 5 couples. We were welcomed by Leo, the property manager. He made sure to provide a full tour and was readily available throughout the week to answer any questions/needs I had.
We enjoyed the spacious living area, especially the large kitchen table to play games around. The pool table and dart room was an extra bonus for entertaining. We spent most of the week lounging in the pool
This house sits so close to the beach, just a short walk over. The beach itself was a disappointment; the resent tropical storm had stirred up a lot of seaweed that laid on the beach/edge of the water.
We enjoyed the location of the house as well. It’s nestled in a quiet part of town, but was just a short drive to restaurants and entertainment. We took advantage of having groceries delivered to the house.
We would definitely stay here again if ever back in the area. Thanks for a great vacation!

Great property owners, very responsive. Any questions we had or sudden issues were immediately taken care of. Wonderful stay. Super close to the beach.
