2025 Fort Lauderdale - Tropical Getaway

For the past 5 years, my wife and I, both in our mid 70's, travel with 2 small dogs annually to the Fort Lauderdale area to escape the cold New York weather. We stayed at the Tropical Getaway this year for a month - 2/12 - 3/12. Yamil and Erica are fantastic hosts. The checkin was flawless and we were greeted by a few bottles of wine and several snack for both my wife and I and our puppies. The house was perfect - just as shown in pictures. We had one son and his 6 year old visit for 4 days and my brother and his wife overlapping for 6 days. The accommodations were perfect. The video games hit the spot for both the adults and the 6 year old. The heated pool is perfect. For me, it was the highlight of the premises -- I swam almost every day. As a family we all enjoyed the pool. After these guests left, another son, his wife and 2 year old came to visit. Having the portable crib on site was great! To say the toddler enjoyed the pool is an understatement!!There is a lot to do nearby. Parks (which the toddler loved) , beaches and of course restaurants. After visiting Fort Lauderdale beaches a few times, Yamil recommended Hollywood Beach. THIS BEACH IS PERFECT!!! A beautiful beach, a beautiful boardwalk. We never went back to Fort Lauderdale beaches.Thank you Yamil and Erica for sharing your home. Our family had a great time in Fort Lauderdale. As next year approaches, and God willing, we will seriously consider your Tropical Getaway for 2026!

Communication with the host was an A. Ran into a minor issue checking in but he was extremely quick on resolving the issue. Pictures of the place were exactly as advertised online. The surrounding area is a bit rough but never felt unsafe there. Loved the arcade games within the house Would stay again if I’m in Ft Lauderdale.
