We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. Everything looked new and it was well appointed. The tropical pool area was wonderful.
Our only complaint is that there was no information about trash pickup days, outside lighting, or checkout procedures ie, laundry expectations, etc.
2.0 / 10.0
Our primary and critical criteria was an outdoor heated pool. As the pool heater was not functioning, we were unable to use the pool. This was especially impactful, as the weather was not great, allowing only a short time on the beaches. A fully functional, heated pool was a key expectation. On day 2 we were expecting it to be fixed as the pool chap conveyed he would return with a compression pump. Subsequently it became apparent that the heater required parts that would take 3 days to order. We were advised that the heater was working the day prior. We felt the water on arrival and it was freezing (i.e. had definitely not been heated a day before). The existence of shot glasses and wine glasses thrown in the plants, a child’s diaper placed over the security camera, a broken mirror in the yard and the fence broken, clearly indicated that the outdoor area had not been checked. (photos provided). Added to which I believe only one of the outdoor lights was working.
Of course, this was extremely disappointing and had a significant, negative impact on our experience.
Another surprising issue was the lack of lighting in front of the house. While most other houses were well lit at the entrance, this particular property was extremely dark at night.

Amazing place / just as listed. I really found everything I needed in the house to prepare my Christmas dinner and cookies. Next time I will bring a rolling pan and leave it there then we have all. :) Thank you

My family and I stayed at this property during July 4th long weekend. It was beautiful and exactly as described, the kitchen was fully equipped and it was a nice and quiet neighborhood. Would absolutely stay again. Friendly heads up the mosquitoes were fully out but that was just about the season and weather mostly

The house was perfect, just as advertised. Really close to the beach and shopping. We visited several different beaches throughout our stay but didn’t really need to go anywhere because the backyard was an amazing area just to hangout and relax.

The stay was great, the only concern was the animal hair on the couch that we noticed when we got up, and leaking toilets in the Master bedroom, constant running water in the hall bathroom due to the chain was broke inside the toilet other than that,we would love to come and stay again!

This house was great! We came down for spring break with our teenage daughters and our dog. We loved the backyard and the pool!! One thing I would add in the house, because I have teenage daughters, is a full length mirror😀

This was a great vacation rental for a vacation that included myself, my husband, my parents, and my mother in law. We stayed for a week during Christmas, right during one of the coldest few days South Florida has seen in a long time. We were grateful to have had a good landing spot at this house, it had just about everything we needed. What really set the house apart for us was the backyard - it was really well appointed, tons of tropical foliage, fenced in for the dogs to enjoy, and a heated pool. The owner was very responsive when we had questions.
The feedback I have for improvement did not affect the overall quality of our stay. Sharing for the owner’s information - there was a lot of dead plant debris strewn across the backyard/patio area and in the pool that we cleaned up. There were a few minor inconveniences - none that required repair while we were there, but a few things that could be improved. The ice machine in the refrigerator randomly spit out ice onto the floor, a couple of the closets are off the track, there are no beach chairs for guest use (it wasn’t advertised but would have been nice), and there were not clear directions on how to use the TV and the living room TV uses the Sling app which doesn’t get CBS and was a total bummer when we wanted to watch a football game.
Overall it was a great spot for us and we would stay there again. The pool area was the best part and it’s a great set-up for families or groups.

Nice property - nicely appointed. Property manager communication was good - Ana was very responsive to requests or issues that came up. Pool was dirty because of the storm so unable to be used during our stay. Outside area is very nice, but needs to be maintained - too much horticulture debri around. Refrigerator needs to be replaced - missing the shelves in the door. AC should be looked at - it does not get cool enough in the bedrooms. Overall - the house was comfortable and clean.

Perfect place!
This house had it all - fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, great location. But the outdoor area was the best of all! So peaceful and relaxing. We couldn’t wait to get back to have a swim in the pool and enjoy the beautiful ambiance of the trees and foliage that made a completely private getaway! We really enjoyed our stay.

Super Relaxing Stay
Ed’s place is a relaxing home within short distance of cool spots to eat at and areas to explore. We enjoyed using the backyard and pool the most as it was very private and the plants were beautiful. The indoor space had everything ready we needed to accommodate our guests and was just as pictured. Everything was clean and inviting. The neighborhood is in a quiet area too. We loved everything about this home! I am so happy I was able to book this place for my girlfriend’s birthday because we had a great time. We would love to stay here again! 100% recommend this place.

amazing home - close to all ft lauderdale outings!
The home was very clean and represented accurately in all photos online. Pool and outdoor area was our favorite. The area was very spacious and allowed for our 6 guests to enjoy a nice bbq by the pool (home comes with a grill!). Would definitely recommend bringing bug-spray if you plan to use the outdoor area for an extended period of time. This wasn't a negative at all and just a result of the home being close to a waterway.
The indoor space was beautiful. We used the kitchen a lot and always found everything we needed was provided (pots/pans, dishes, utensils, cooking ware). The rooms were great and beds were very very comfy.
In addition to this, Ed was very responsive and attentive to any potential issues that came up. Check in was a breeze and so was the check out process. This home was absolutely worth the price. It was spacious, clean, and very comfortable as well as being close to major Ft. Lauderdale outings (beaches, Las Olas Blvd). I would recommend anyone to stay here if you are thinking of exploring the Ft. Lauderdale area!

Home away from Home
Expect to be impressed! Ted thought of anything we could possibly need.. extra pillows and blankets, wine opener, box fan, lots of towels! We’re a family of 7 (the 4 year old still sleeps with us :/ ) and stayed 7 days. The beds are comfy, the furniture is nice and practical, we didn’t have to worry about breaking anything lol. Kitchen fully equipped and grocery very near. Very nice neighborhood. The backyard was our haven! Paradise! Ted was very accommodating and we plan to book a property with him again.

Tropical oasis
My family and I just got back from 5 nights at this beautiful property. The home is beautiful, was clean upon checkin and has everything you need for a great stay including comfortable beds. The real showstopper is the pool though. Being in the backyard is like having your own private resort.
