Fun little cottage in a great neighborhood!

We loved this cottage for its location and privacy. It's got a great fenced in yard with parking for 2 behind a gate. The house is small and a little quirky, but awesome for a quick stay in Fort Lauderdale. The landlord is absolutely the best!! Great communication! Our flight was delayed and we arrived very late, but this was no problem. Would definitely stay here again!

Best Property Manager Ever!

We've stayed at dozens of VRBO sites around the country. Whenever we travel, we use VRBO. Comparing Oliver to the other 3 dozen proprietors We've met, Oliver blows them all away with his helpfulness, attentiveness, and response time. The little two bedroom bungalow is cute and fun, but what makes the place special is Oliver.

Great location for our purposes. Walked all over to restaurants shopping misc venue. The owner was very communicative and helpful. The house did not have many items available as I’m used to for a VRBO but it had all the basics and was clean and cozy. Oliver was great and thanks for the blow dryer!
