This property felt like home and was perfect for our needs. Neighborhood felt safe and was conveniently located. We loved the private beach with plenty of private parking. Fishing off the dock had good action and species variety keeping my son entertained when the rest of us were enjoying down time. Host was responsive when we had questions. We would definately stay here again.

We had a wonderful week during our stay here. The house was clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything that we needed, and the backyard pool/spa area along the canal was its own little paradise. The walk to the beach only took about five minutes, or we could drive over and park at the private beach entrance. The beach was never crowded at all, which was a plus. Just read the rest of the reviews. The photos do not totally represent what you will see when you get there, especially with the spacious screened porch and the office with futon. If we visit the area again, we will definitely try to book here. Thank you, Viet!

Our first family vacation with my six yr old boy. We had a wonderful time. Everything you can imagine for a relaxing, fun in the sun, family time getaway. Viet and his family are very nice and do a great job. We had everything we needed.

We love this property! It was clean and had everything you needed. Our kids particularly loved the pool. Five minute walk to a private beach which was never crowded. Viet the owner was very welcoming. We will definitely be back next year.

Awesome location. Close to beach, pleasant house, nice private feeling island. Small but wonderful pool. No complaints. Host is great as well.

Checkin easy, inside extremely clean, fully stocked beach accessories. Screen porch even had tv. Everything you needed on site with short walk to beach access. Will come again

Please read the agreement. Location is good, pool filter back in late july early august of 2021 was a little finicky. Overall it is a great place, we don't appreciate when property owner yelling at us for something that we did not do.

What a great house in a wonderful neighborhood. The house was large for our family of 4. Had an amazing back yard with a nice pool, outdoor seating, a screened in porch and right on the water. The inside of the home had everything you could need. It is about a 5 min walk from the beach or there is private parking for you at the beach if you prefer. The neighborhood is quiet and the beach was never very busy. The location is great. The pictures online are great but in person it is even better. We would highly recommend this home.

We have a wonderful stay. Property is very beautiful and owner is very attentive and kind. The pool was amazing for our family and we enjoyed it immensely. Would definitely stay again!

One of the best VRBO's that we've stayed at...perfect location and thought to detail. But don't want everyone to book him up- we are coming back!

The house was clean, comfortable, private and had everything we needed (and more). We had fun playing in the pool most days, but the beach was a short walk and absolutely gorgeous! There is a huge screened-in patio which was a great place for enjoying meals. Having two little ones, I was grateful that there was a comfy leather sofa, tile floors throughout, and child locks on the doors. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you, Viet!

Staying here was a true vacation for the whole family. The kids were in and out of the pool all day or exploring the tropical plants. The iguanas were a big hit too. Easy and short walk to the beach. Mice house layout and equipped with anything you need for cooking/baking. We will be going back soon.

Nice home in beautiful quiet neighborhood. Walk to a private beach. Home is simple but has all you need. We were surprised to find a den/office which we used during part of our visit. Nice porch on the water where we ate every meal. Owner is delightful.

We would love to stay at this property again. Walking distance to everything and in a quiet neighborhood right on a canal

very nice villa

Fantastic property great location could ask for more we will BE BACK

Amazing. To be in Lauderdale, this close to the beach, on a canal, with a pool, in a nice updated house. What else can you ask for. Terra Mar is a great little island. Great for walking or biking. A few minutes walk to the beach. We walked to the beach every day and several evenings. House is better than it looks. Listing has too few pictures. There isn't a picture of the large screened in room. It has a big table there with nice view over the pool and canal. Yard is beautifully landscaped. Picnic table outside. Several lounge chairs poolside. The house is nice updated and redone. Plenty of space. Nice furnishings. Comfortable. Owner is the actual owner, not a service, and is very nice. The ice dispenser doesn't work, but does make ice. The only issue we ran into is the HVAC ducts need to be redone. In particular, the master bedroom is hard to cool. We had to use a fan to try and bring in cooler air. The bedroom itself is great with windows on 3 sides and a door to the pool.

We loved the property and location. Would definitely stay again. Access to the beach is private for the community and this was great as often times there were only a few others on the beach.

All the reviews say about the same thing and I have to admit that I found this quite strange. Not a single negative criticism. Are all bad reviews removed? After spending a wonderful week in this place I no longer doubt. This is the perfect place. I will keep this as an absolute favourite and recommend this place to anyone planning to go to Florida. We really appreciated the host who is a genuine nice person, always at hand to help.

Paradise!!!

My wife and kids have stayed here twice now, and we would definitely stay again. Everything is very well appointed and we love the pool in the back. The bathrooms had been remodeled since our last stay and that is a great upgrade. The beach is very close with private access, and the house is equipped with everything you would need for a trip to the beach.

I've stayed at this property twice now and look forward to the third time!

We found HEAVEN ON EARTH...Peaceful, beautiful, relaxing, secluded, quiet yet close enough to everything when we wanted more "action"! Lauderdale-By-The-Sea/Pompano Beach is our favorite vacation destination! We visited this area when we were young then brought our own children here. Now we return as empty nesters. We're familiar/knowledgable/experienced with this area and accommodations. Over time we've come to appreciate renting a private vacation home versus staying at hotels. We know what you get (and don't get) for your money. The rental price for this property is very reasonable based on high quality of this beautiful home! Our visit here spring 2016 was by far our best experience ever! The first thing we noticed upon arriving after many hours of travel from cold/snowy northern Ohio was the lovely entrance to this neighborhood with pretty tropical landscaping. When we entered the driveway we immediately felt a sense of warmth/comfort! The flowers/tropical trees/patio furniture seemed to sing: "Welcome to sunny south Florida!" The owner, Mr. Viet Luong, keeps this property in perfect condition! He's pleasant to do business with:) Prior to renting this property he was polite answering any questions we had. He is prompt/professional with payment confirmation/rental contracts. This property provides plenty of nice dishes/pots-pans/paper products (foil/wrap/paper towels/coffee filters/laundry/dish detergent) EVERYTHING you need. Includes: grill on back patio/well constructed picnic table/other nice furniture. Beach chairs/pool towels/rafts were ready for our enjoyment! If you love boats/jet skis/paddle boards this is the place for you! It has an enormous dock! The house is a short walk/drive from the lovely El Mar Beach Club private beach. Upon entering the white iron gates you escape to Paradise with tropical foliage/nice tables/chairs/built-in grills/shaded areas with seating to escape from the sun. At "home" we enjoyed relaxing on the spacious patio/deck overlooking the lovely pool/spa and intercostal waterway:) Free WiFi/strong signal a plus while relaxing on gorgeous screened patio or anywhere in house/yards:) Appliances/TVs/cooling system in excellent working order! NO insects/creatures indoors. It's rare to find these qualities in rental units! Pool/spa controlled with remote device. We weren't sure how to operate remote. The owner was quick to show us how to use the pool/spa control. We were thrilled and can't wait to return! THANK YOU

We just came back from Florida and we are looking forward to go back there again. This house is awesome, very clean, well maintaned with a big driveway. Mr. Luong is such a nice man, always available and in a great mood. The private beach is also a plus, very quiet, it is like having the whole beach just for you! I highly recommed this house. Thank you Mr. Luong!

This is an older home but very well maintained. Had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The best part was the pool and spa in the backyard. We have two teen children and they loved the place as well. Plenty of room for all of us. I could live at this place. We usually rent right on the beach but decided to give Viet's place a try. It is about 1/4 mile from the Private gated beach. There is even private parking at the beach if you need to drive. The beach was beautiful and the tables, grill, and shower are well maintained. Viet is a great host. We had trouble understanding how to work the spa and called him on his cell. We were up and running in no time. He is local.

Spent two weeks at this beautiful property in paradise !! Great house, excellent location, beautiful pool and spa - we enjoyed so much !!! Very private, loved so much watching the iguanas ! Minutes to the beach, grocery store, drug store, restaurants, shopping, casinos - anything you could possibly want or need. Owner was great and very accommodating. Hope to return in 2015, Viet !! Will be in touch !

This is the perfect house !! It has Everything you need. The pool and SPA is very Clean. We stayed for a mounth during the summer and we can't be more happy with this Place. And the owner is so nice and can handle Everything. We can just recommed it so much ! It is awesome !

Stayed here for a week but could have happily stayed longer. The house is well laid out with excellent furnishings and equipment. The pool was clean and well maintained. Communication with the owner was very good and I would highly recommend this property.

We had a lot of houses in this area. This house is nice and cute an old one, but everything perfekt. We like the old Florida one-story-houses with Charme, but everything functionally and comfortable. The house is equippped with everything you need and the pool with the jacuzzi is great! the owner is a very friendly man, we did a nice boat trip with him and his brother, it was very kind of him to take us away, because we have no boat driver license. We hope to come again, we feel very good there. Greetings to Viet and Bryan, thanks for everything. Monika and Clemens

Everything about this rental is superb. The house contains everything you could possibly need - every appliance including a full sized washer and dryer, fully stocked kitchen, beach towels, beach chairs.... you name it. The furnishings, pool, etc. are all in great shape and the communication with the owner was top notch. Access to the private beach is also a plus. We are planning to return again next summer. I would highly recommend this rental home!
