The property was very clean and felt very roomy other than the living room, which really only comfortably seated three. Maybe one or two chairs added to the space would help. And it would’ve been nice if we could have put our car in the garage.

The property was beyond expectations. There was plenty of room, very clean, and was easy to get comfortable. Due to the inclement weather, we were not able to experience the pool to its full potential, but we made the most out of the outdoor area as we could. There was some loud construction happening down the street, and a few car alarms kept some of us awake, but no issues outside of that.

Perfect in every way!

The property is beautiful and just as described. It is close to Las Olas( short drive)and all that it has to offer, while having the quiet of a neighborhood. There is a lovely park by the river at the end of the block.The home was well equipped and has high quality beds and furnishings. We travel often and are aways appreciative for owners who invest in things that will make the guest comfortable.The floor plan is great for families, with the master being on one side and the other bedrooms opposite.Just a note about the amazing closet space- this is rare! Bathrooms were spotless and beautiful.We were in the area for my sons wedding and will stay here any time we are back to visit.
