About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
• The Captain's Landing • 4 bedroom - 2 bathroom - soaking tub - adventure home
Every corner of this home is designed to spark a little wonder. Settle in for a cozy night with the Chromecast-powered projector, transforming the living room into your own private cinema beneath the sails. Climb up to the crow’s nest loft, where you can gaze through the “periscope,” swap stories, and feel as though you’re charting the stars.
The details are what make this house an ideal escape from reality—like the clawfoot soaking tub, a perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring, or the eclectic nautical décor that brings the Captain’s world to life. Thoughtful touches abound, from beach gear for your ocean excursions to board games and activities that keep the whole crew entertained.
Here, every stay feels less like a getaway and more like a voyage of discovery, blending comfort, playfulness, and just the right amount of whimsy.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD Poinsettia Heights is a centrally located quiet neighborhood in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. Steps away from vibrant Wilton Manors and the Beach, and a short drive to Miami, the area is a perfect location to explore South Florida from.
The location is perfect for those guests who decide not to rent a car. Sunrise Blvd, Federal Highway (US1) and the adorable outcrop that is dubbed 13th street (NE 13th St) are all within walking distance (under a mile).
LOCAL FLAVOR Nearby you will find local gems such as Eucalyptus Gardens, Storks, Gulfstream Brewery, Lovelee Bakeshop, Croissan‘time, and Montce Swim. The Galleria Mall is just 1.5 miles away and there are plenty of places to rent Kayaks/ Paddleboards, dozens of mid-century modern vintage shops, and most importantly; the golden sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach.
EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE Within 1 mile of the home, you’ll find: • Publix supermarket • Walgreens pharmacy • Dunkin’ Donuts • Middle River Terrace Park • Liquor store (open until 2 a.m.) • Gas stations, restaurants, and shops
QUICK DISTANCES • Beach – 2.1 miles • Las Olas – 1.8 miles • Flagler Village – 1.3 miles • Wilton Manors – 1.5 miles • Downtown Fort Lauderdale – 3.2 miles • Fort Lauderdale Airport – 6.5 miles
BRIGHTLINE TRAIN– 2.5 miles Miami: ~30 min West Palm Beach: ~30 min Orlando: ~2.5 hrs
GETTING AROUND Landlubbers can head due south (to Sunrise Blvd) or east (to US 1 / Federal Hwy) to reach major thoroughfares where public transportation via bus is available, but Uber & Lyft is readily available.
One block West of the home, there are two bus stops, one northbound and one southbound. We do not suggest public transportation in Fort Lauderdale as it's not fully developed as in larger cities.
If you do not plan to rent a vehicle at the airport we suggest using Sixt rent-a-car on Sunrise Blvd. It's within a 5-minute drive from the home and has great vehicles for guests traveling in large groups.
Suppose you’d rather swap asphalt for water. In that case, the iconic Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi is close at hand—your pass to cruising the Intracoastal like a true mariner, with stops at waterfront restaurants, shops, and cultural spots. Before you drop anchor, we’ll share our custom, Google-powered digital guide so you can discover Fort Lauderdale’s hidden treasures and navigate the city like a seasoned local.
THE GUEST/HOUSE COLLECTION We give our guests as much privacy as possible while always being just a message away. Behind the scenes, we work as a team to ensure that any need—big or small—is addressed quickly and with ease. From a simple question about the home to a last-minute request, our local presence allows us to step in right away when needed, so you can relax knowing you’re well taken care of.
In addition to being available for day-to-day support, we’re happy to assist with concierge-style services to make your stay extra special. Whether it’s arranging an in-home massage, booking a private chef, or offering personalized recommendations for the best local spots, our goal is to help you experience South Florida at its very best. Whether you prefer a completely hands-off stay or a little extra guidance, we’re here to make your time effortless and memorable.
Thank you so much for considering a stay with us! We’re Noelle & Tom, the team behind The Guest/House Collection, a boutique property management and design company based in South Florida.
Our approach is simple—we care for every home with the precision you’d expect from a hotel and the warmth and attention you’d hope for from an owner. We hope for the opportunity to welcome you!

Great house
This property was exactly as advertised and is clearly managed by people that care and know what they’re doing. We came to town for the Miami boat show so the nautical decor fit our taste perfectly! Not sure where the incredibly creative ideas came from (octopus room was my favorite) but kudos to them!

Great place - super fun for a big group of friends
Loved that we could all have our own room but if we had more people it would have been fine too! Lots of space and nice amenities. One issue was I could not contact the host to check out but that was VRBO app issue not the property owners! The owners were very responsive throughout our stay.

We stay again!
We loved our stay, would come back again! We did have a few things brake, but things happen and our host was on top of it! Communicated well and got back to us quickly. We stayed over thanksgiving break and would come back to stay! There was 6 of us and we all had space to spread out and yet had spaces where we spent most of our time together! Close to the beach and stores.

Weekend in Fort Lauderdale/Miami
This place is AMAZING! The nautical theme is really cool and the entire place is beautifully decorated. It was clean when we arrived and the bedding was done as well (very comfy beds by the way). There were 10 of us and we all had a place to sleep easily. The descending table is awesome. The hosts were extremely helpful and communicate as well. I would recommend this to any group heading to Fort Lauderdale or even Miami!!! :)

The property was everything we hoped for and more! Even our teen boys were excited! They enjoyed the outdoor area as well as their room. The beds were so comfy! Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. We hope to go back on another vacation.

Ahoy matey - what a great stay
We like the unique experience this home has to offer. Very comfortable space, nice mattresses, pillows, and linens. Nice well stocked kitchen with plenty of dishes, pans, pots and spices for an easy dinner if you cook.
Nice location to Fort Lauderdale and surrounding communities all for a reasonable affordable price.

We stayed over our recent spring break. So much room. Comfortable beds and fun themed decor gives a great vacation vibe. Nice quiet neighborhood and is conveniently located to so much of what Fort Lauderdale has to offer. We’d love to book both units on the property next time and bring the extended family for an even longer time.
