This particular property was a first for us. Justin was very easy to talk to and was very helpful leading up to when we checked in to the property. Upon arrival and entering the property, we were met with a very strong Pine Sol smell throughout the unit. Since we had 3 children with us, we walked through each room to be sure it was SAFE and clean. Beds had body hair and dirt on the sheets, the sinks had residue in them, there was a definite smell of cats or some animal that apparently had been there. Being very allergic to cats and other pet dander, having a pet free place was very important to us. So the lack of cleanliness was very dissapointing. But the real alarming part of the walk through was that in the back "sunroom" that has windows all around, we found that one of the windows was open fully with no safety barrier to prevent someone or something from falling 5 stories to the ground. There was a tall table pulled next to the window making it very easy for a child to climb up and fall out. The windows had no safety blocks in them to prevent them from being opened all the way like you see in other multi family properties or hotels. Not feeling safe, we called Justin to explain our concerns and our desire to back out of our rental agreement requesting our money back. Justin changed from the very helpful owner to argumentative. He said he would meet us to refund the money but has been ghosting us since then. We're hoping vrbo can help.

We met up with some friends who winter in Florida before we left on a cruise. The condo was as shown in the listing with the exception of “nicely furnished!!”. Needs some updating for sure!!

We had the most amazing experience staying at this condo! The breathtaking views of the Fort Lauderdale skyline and Fort Lauderdale Beach, stylish and modern interior, and top-notch amenities made my stay truly unforgettable. The attention to detail, cleanliness, and overall comfort exceeded my expectations. The Galt Mile location offered super convenience. A big thank you to Justin for providing such a fantastic place—We can't wait to come back!

We like this condo property, has a tiki bar/restaurant which has good food and of course good drinks. Condo was great, clean and everything worked as expected. Especially liked the super soft Ugg blankets on the beds :)

We felt right at home. The great room - living, dining - is very comfortable and huge. The kitchen is fully stocked even including a keurig with coffee pods (thanks!). The bedrooms each have an en-suite that would make your home jealous. And the beds were very comfortable. The property beyond the room enforces good rules to make everyone happy. We had no complaints with the room or resort. So happy. We’ll be back!

Upon entering the unit we immediately smelled a STRONG odor of cigarette smoke. Two of the guests have severe asthma and one had to leave to retrieve her breathing medication. It was several hours before she could return (this happened to be the birthday girl celebrating her 40th birthday-the purpose of the trip).
We used air freshener to try to mask the smell, but it was extremely strong. Shortly after we tried to use glassware from the kitchen cabinets, they were very dirty and had a dried substance all over one side.
I immediately notified the host. His response was it is a non-smoking unit. Yes. That is why we chose it but it in fact WAS NOT smoke free at all. He asked if I got the glass from the dishwasher. I don't understand this response. Who retrieves a clean glass to drink from, from a dishwasher and not a kitchen cabinet as we did?
The following morning while guests went between the pool and unit we discovered a large flood in one of the bathrooms. One guest had her entire suitcase soaked in water and had to travel to a laundromat to wash them. We immediately began filming the flooded area because we wanted the host to understand how bad it was. Several inches of water built up very quickly. The water came from behind a locked door.
THE HOST NEVER SENT ANYONE TO STOP THE FLOOD!!!
I have never been so disappointed by a “host”.

The owner (Justin) was very polite and responsive to all my questions. The unit was clean and beautiful. All the essentials were well stocked. The beach and pool were wonderful.
My mother is paralyzed; it was a really tight fit to get her into the shower stall and onto her shower bench. I'm not blaming anyone, that's just the layout of the bathroom. So, if you are disabled and in a wheelchair or someone in your party is, this is something you need to keep in mind.
Overall, this was a great unit and we had a lovely time.

Justin is a great host! He called the day before we were to get there to go over everything. Justin was very helpful with everything from what was the best way to get to the resort from the airport to where to eat and everything in-between!

We did a girls trip and stayed at this condo for a long weekend. The condo itself was roomy and perfect for the 6 of us. The condo is located in an actual hotel/resort which made it so much better because we literally did not have to leave. The outside tiki bar was open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu was large with so many delicious options. The bar itself stayed open past 3am on the weekend and had a fun night life atmosphere with a DJ. The condo/hotel is also located right on the beach, which was beautiful and very clean. You have the option to rent beach chairs and umbrellas as well. If we weren't feeling the beach, we then used the pool, which was also a good size and a lot of lounge chairs. There was an Italian restaurant located inside of the hotel, which we did not eat at but looked very nice. You're also walking distance to a grocery store, liquor store and a couple of cute shops.
Very good experience and would 100% stay there again! Also, on last thing, the host was very helpful with recommendations and accessible through phone/text.

We had a great time. We could walk everywhere. The owner allows pets and we have two large dogs. Everyone was welcoming and did not care about the dogs. There were many dogs at the hotel. We walked the beach at sunrise with the dogs and there were few people on the beach at that time. The condo was great size for us and our two children who are 18 and 21. The beds we’re comfortable. I suggest a book with local restaurants and menus. We stumbled about margarita Monday in Lauderdale by the sea. Excellent food and $8 margaritas on that night. We ate at the Ocean Grill, DaVinchys, Tiki bar and hotel Italian restaurant. The grocery store is only .2 miles away. We made several trips there and ate breakfast and lunch in the condo. We are coffee drinkers and cups were 6 oz size so we had several cups. Overall I would definitely recommend and Justin is available if needed. We had an excellent time. Sat by pool most days. Kids went parasailing in Pompano Beach which is only 5 miles away. And they took Uber for that. Great time for our family. Thanks. The Davidsons

This is a great property as far as the location goes. Walk out the back of the building and the beach is right there. The condo/apartment building has a nice bar/restaurant right on the beach. We had four kids under 8 and this was great as we never had to leave the beach to go get food. One thing to note is that the condo does not allow you to take your own food or drinks to the beach. But with the kids it was great to not have to drive around to go to the beach and worry about parking and lugging things around.
The building/resort has a coffee shop and Italian restaurant too. Cars need to be valet parked.
The condo itself is very cozy and inviting. The owner, Justin, was very helpful and prompt with his communication. He also recommended kid friendly places we could visit. He was also kind enough to leave us a bottle of very good wine. The condo has lots of closet/storage space. The kitchen is small but well equipped with a coffee machine, toaster, utensils.
Thank you, Justin, We had a great time. We would definitely recommend this condo.

Justin, the owner, was very nice and communicated well. He contacted us by phone and email before our arrival. However, the pictures online are not accurate or even close to the current appearance of the condo. To say it is outdated is an understatement!!! Only the bathrooms have been renovated, but were both filthy. I had to spend a good amount of time cleaning both of them!!
The kitchen is beyond terrible, the furniture in the living room was awful and the bedroom furniture wasn’t as it appears online. The bed linens need to be replaced and are not as pictured either. We are avid VRBO travelers and this was our worst experience.
Access to the beach was great and the lobby looks good. The shared spaces in the building are nice and very clean. The condo, however, needs a LOT of work. This would be a good condo for college students, but not a well traveled family.

The condo location is great! Pool, right on the beach, restaurants. But DEFINATELY not 6 beds. There are 3 beds and a few air mattresses. The couch pulls out into a bed, but it was broke. We only had a few towels and wash clothes, and when contacted manager nothing was done. We had to buy wash cloths, toilet paper, paper towels and a blender (because the one in the room was broke).

I found the unit to be clean. The unit needs some TLC to make it really shine. The beds in the guest room are broke, the pull out couch does not work. There were a couple of large air mattresses that filled in. The most disappointing thing about the unit is when you get out of the elevator the overwhelming smell of pot that is coming for one of the units on the floor. There are three TV's in the unit and all three get different packages. There is no washer and dryer in the unit as advertised. The building in the unit is in could use an upgrade and a fresh coat of paint. That being said, we found the Tiki Bar to be a hit. Good Food and reasonable prices for drinks. I would have a hard time recommending.

Place was decent. Master bedroom, master bath are beautiful, and updated.
Spare bedroom and spare bathroom are also updated and very nice.
Kitchen area was fair it’s due for being updated big time and we found some bugs. But you can’t beat the location. Everyone was warm and welcoming, and super helpful and my wife and kids had a blast.
