Casa Contenta
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
The Florida lifestyle is yours at this charming Ft. Lauderdale home, tucked into a residential neighborhood around four miles from the beach and within easy reach of vibrant Wilton Manors nightlife. Shopping, dining, parks, golf, and other amenities are all nearby as well.
At home, spend time outside in your private, enclosed yard, where mature trees and plants create an oasis-like feeling. Slip into the heated pool for a morning swim, then relax in the shady, enclosed lanai with a good book. Inside, you’ll find coastal decor, an open floor plan, and one-level living, ideal for spending time together. The chef will appreciate the full kitchen, with lots of counter space and stainless steel appliances. Sit down for a meal together at the window-front table; pull up a barstool for a casual snack; or step back outside and dine alfresco by the pool.
Cool off in the central air-conditioning while you stream the latest release, catch up on social media with the free WiFi - or unplug entirely and spend the evening playing board games. At bedtime, three well-appointed rooms await in the main house, including the primary bedroom with an en suite bath. No matter where you sleep, end the night together and back out by the wonderful pool with a toast to your good luck at booking such a charming escape. This home is located two-and-a-half miles from Wilton Manors.

It was comfortable, clean. We just have a litlle convenient with smell but the owner response very good and send some one to try to put in more confort but its a really good place with a great location. And i do recommend.

The son of the owner lives in the front of the home. We were not aware of this. Additionally, we had a major leak in the dining room and NO ONE came out to check. Communication with VRBO reps is awful. Still waiting on a refund. I would not recommend this home unless you done mind sharing it with a stranger….

The house itself was fine but had issues from the minute we arrived. There was a car parked in the driveway and were told from the rental company that is was the owners relative who lived in the neighborhood and just parked there. After a day we realized that this person was actually living in the house. Had his own entrance and his room shared a wall with the living room. That was absolutely not disclosed in the listing. Also woke up the first day to no a/c. Reached out immediately and took an entire day to get it fixed. Then the same thing happened the next day. Reached out to the rental company, Vacasa, about a resolution and they have been unresponsive.

First, our experience started rocky. We were driving to this destination, and I recalled I had not received the check in details. My wife sent a message to the vendor, and as we were awaiting to hear back, I noticed I had a missed call. The call was from the vendor. It seems somehow the requirement for age verification was
missed, once this was done the check in details was sent.
Arriving at the residence and entering, something was off. As we always, we walked the house prior to placing our bags. The house had not been cleaned and water on the dining area floor.
This being our anniversary trip, and me planning for my wife, i felt my emotions really start to rise. But being in corporate customer service as well, it kept me balanced some. I must be honest in that was not until I prayed and was reminded that this is still a day that God has given, things turned. I contacted vendor via the numbers I had, they were apologetic and assured me that this would be addressed quickly. Now, we arrived on a Sunday, and it was already 1700hrs or so, I didn't think we would get anyone out but was hopeful. Things got taken of Monday and off we were on our anniversary. I am thankful for the lesson I was once again reminded of it is not as it appears and remember that God is still in control! I share all this because life has taught me that how things start is not how they must end. We had a wonderful trip, and the residence was very enjoyable. Definitely recommend.

Easy check in and check out. Closer to everything. Clean, plenty of room, nice kitchen with everything you need.
Plenty of extra towels.
Full size washer and dryer. Pool was a major plus!

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely retreat. The home is older and in a beautifully landscaped area that the critters enjoyed. We had to catch some frogs dead and alive in the pool. I suggest you pack extra triple A batteries for the Firestick remotes(just in case)…that’s the only way you watch tv.

The property was located in a great location, I walked the neighborhood in the morning and felt very safe. Restaurants, beaches and activities all close by car or Uber.
We would stay here again.

Perfect for what we wanted it for. A nice cozy spot to just relax and enjoy the weather. Will surely rent again

We spent a lot of time around the pool area. It was private and quiet. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

We rented this house from Dec 24, 2022 until Jan 2,2023. When we arrived the pool was alittle green and dirty so we waited to see if anyone was going to show up that day. No one showed up we called them to come clean the pool because it was only getting worse. The pool filter was off and i called them everyday 2 to 3 times a day and it took them 7 days to show up and “clean” the pool. We went 7 days with no pool available to use. When the pool guy showed up he threw 3 liquids in the pool and thought it was going to clean itself and left. He didn’t turn on the vacuum in the pool or the suction or even cleaned it. And I have proof of everything and all messages and pictures from myself to the property manager and the company Vacasa. We could of rented another home that was ALOT cheaper with no pool but we wanted a pool and had to deal with this headache. After the pool guy came and did a horrible job I spoke to the manager and they had to send out a private pool service company because of how bad the pool was. After they came and finally cleaned the pool we only had 1 day to enjoy the clean pool. We also didn’t have access to the shed with all the pool floaty it was locked with a bunch of pool toys and floats inside. The pool heater wasn’t working either. The kitchen was infested with ants and we caught a few roaches around the house and I have pictures of all of this that I’m saying on here! I work as a professional house cleaner and I can’t complain about the cleanliness of the home but we were very disappointed with everything else we had to deal with. And the lack of communication was terrible. They would say someone is coming now to clean and it would take days and days. Very disappointed waited the whole year for this family vacation and left so disappointed with a headache. When we left to come back home we left all towels washed and cleaned, we cleaned the whole house and left the cleaners cash tips on the countertop but I would not rent this place again!

Great property, everything was as advertised. In great condition and clean. Heated pool was awesome! First time at this address and it is now on my radar for future use.

Check in and check out was easy. The place was very nice with lots of extras. It was well decorated with great photographs in all the rooms. Five adults stayed here 4 nights. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own space. Large dining room table to seat 6, plus the kitchen has 3 bar stools. There's even a little screened-in area with a couple of chairs. It was great to have a TV in each bedroom plus a large one in the living area. Each bedroom has a comfortable queen bed with a ceiling fan, plus they have central AC. Plenty of hot water for all the people showing. Outside is a little tropical oasis. Beautify landscaped yard front and back. We loved the pool area. Another large dining table for 6 outside, plus lounge chairs around the pool. The location was great too, a quick drive to all the places we visited. Will book here again.

This beautiful accommodation had everything you can ask for. From its heat pool & beautiful pool area, to being so close to Wilton Manors, Oakland Park, an the beaches it was an inexpensive Uber anywhere we needed to go! We didn’t even need a car! It was close to restaurants an the grocery stores.
The house itself is large and one of the nicest we have stayed in. Can’t wait to visit the area again an stay there!

The home is gorgeous, it felt like I was staying at a friend's private house and not a rental property. The home is very bright and cheery, with everything you need. One of the main reasons I like to rent a house, is to have the option to cook at home. This kitchen is fully stocked with all the gadgets needed to prepare a home cooked meal. The dining area and table are beautiful, windows all around, and one with a view of the pool. The pool is awesome! It was great to have a private heated pool to slip into anytime. I enjoyed it in the AM, before heading out for the day and then again before and after dinner and nothing beats a midnight swim under the full moon. Plenty of space around the pool to soak in the sun and a table for al fresco dinning. They even have separate beach towels for the pool area. The landscaping around the entire house is beautiful. Tropical flowers and lush plants all around and even a mango tree in front (if you are lucky enough to be here in when they are in season) The bedroom I stayed in was bright, the 2 windows really brought in the outside landscape and sun (this is not the primary bedroom either) I had a very comfortable queen bed, plenty of pillows, dresser (6 drawers) and a large closet (with plenty of hangers). They also have TVs in all the bedrooms and one in the main room.... I never used them while I was there, I was too busy enjoying the pool and outside living area. They also have a large laundry room with a sink which came in handy. The washer and dryer are full size, made it easy to wash and dry the pools towels during our stay. I like to “move into” a place when I am on vacation and felt right at home in Casa Contena. I will be staying here again on my next trip to Fort Lauderdale
