Amazing waterfront property

Nikki and Kevin are amazing hosts. The communication prior to arrival and during our stay was unbelievable!!! The house is amazing!! We were a party of 8 and the property was spacious. The house is located within 15-20 of the Fort Lauderdale airport and/or cruise port depending on the time of day. We also rented the pontoon boat which is in the backyard right on the water. We had such a great time. Thank you again Nikki and Kevin!

Huge kitchen!

Family and friends gathered at this house over NYE. We booked the house based on # of bedrooms, huge kitchen and home location. We were a bit confused as the loft was more like a bonus room. Huge and fun but no bed was in there. The kitchen was awesome! Pool and hot tub great! Beds and pillows all comfy. Owners were outstanding in communication and checking in to see if we needed anything. Need a ginormous well equipped kitchen, pool and hot tub and relaxing outdoor space? This is the home for you!

Spring Break Fun

This house was amazing! We were there for our son’s spring break and are considering going back with friends for an adult trip! It is in a great location and close to everything we wanted to do. The house layout was perfect for cooking, lounging, and relaxing! I spent most of my time near the pool area completely content. It’s on a canal with neighbors but very private and quiet. This house has everything you need and is just like being at home. Kevin and Nikki are very easy to get in touch with. They were available to answer questions about the house and recommended several amazing restaurants. They checked in several times to make sure we were having fun! We highly recommend spending your vacation at this house!

Many Great Things

We had a fantastic stay at the VRBO property. The hosts were exceptional. They were great at communicating and flexible with our plans. The house had a fantastic outdoor space and the pool and hot tub were impeccably clean. The only drawback was the fourth bedroom, referred to as a loft but more accurately an attic, which was a bit less appealing for sleeping. Nevertheless, overall, it was a wonderful experience with clean and well-maintained amenities.

Not What We Expected

This property has incredible potential and was once undoubtedly a premier home, but the place is simply going to seed. The house interior itself is well laid out and welcoming, and the lanai back patio with fire pit and hot tub are a great space in which to hang out. The beds are comfortable and there is ample hot water for many showers etc. The problem is that you cannot look too closely at anything. Here is a partial list of issues: 1) some wooden boards of the dock are so rotten that I almost fell through one, so we were uncomfortable using any of the water toys; 2) the outdoor grill works fine, but the tiled workspace is so mildewed and neglected as to be revolting; 3) the cushioned patio furniture was stained and a large bench/storage unit featured in the photos was so damaged and misshapen as to be bizarre; 4) the kitchen faucet was loose, and the cabinets were chipped and one was even missing its hardware; 5) the master bedroom was dark rather than sun-filled as shown in the photos because the blinds were stuck in the down position due to remote control problems; 6) the main den sofa cushions smelled so of dog that we had to lay down towels to sit on it; 7) the covers on the outdoor speakers are stained with rust and in need of paint; 8) decorative greenery flanking the entryway has largely peeled off and is piled under the front bench - they simply need to be re-glued. I admit that finding the house poorly cleaned (hair in shower, filthy pots, pans, china, utensils, appliances, and cabinets) set a bad initial tone, but these other issues compounded the problem geometrically. Throughout our issues, the owner was very communicative with our concerns and they refunded the cleaning fee; however, I found their excuses of "on backorder" (broken outdoor grill sink) or "numerous calls with manufacturer" (broken master shades) to ring very hollow because so many of the issues could be remedied with a simple handyman. Also, there are simply too many examples of property deterioration to accept repeated excuses. Finally the neighborhood is not a premier area. As just one example, the gas station at the end of the street is marginal, and its convenience store is scary. My son bought water there and was shaken by the experience. At a low price point this property could be worth it, but we felt wildly overcharged given the reality versus the website photos and description.

My family and I had a lovely time in your vacation home. Our 3 kids and grandkids celebrated the New year and bbq outdoors and used the pool and the jacuzzi . We had a lovely view and we saw fireworks at night from the backyard. We also saw a beautiful manatee in the water enjoying the afternoon. We recommend this property for a large party. The comfort was amazing and the home was beautifully done. The Villar Family 🤩🍾

Great house

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and fully stocked. The owners were extremely attentive and responsive. Our only issue was the loft/attic. We were counting on a 4th bedroom with actual beds and we did not get that. House really only sleeps 6 comfortably unless your ok with air mattresses and couches. The loft was very hot and low ceilings. It did get very tight for our party of 9. But we made it work and had a fabulous time. Thank you again!
