We enjoyed our stay. It was wonderful and your hospitality made it even better. From the moment we walked in we didn't want to leave the house. We will definitely be back in September. Thank you for everything and you have a wonderful home. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Perfect Beautiful Retreat

Review submitted: December 5, 2012   Date of arrival: November 30, 2012

This place is beautiful. It's located on a quiet street, about 2 miles from the Beaches. We couldn't have been happier with this rental. House was very clean and had modern appliances ect. Susan was very professional and met us on the first day and explained everything we needed to know. I would highly recommend this house and would definitely stay there again.

Great lovely decorated home with pool and hot tub

Evert-Jan N. ()
Review submitted: August 29, 2012   Date of arrival: July 16, 2012

We a Dutch family of four, stayed for a week in summer in this home and had a great time.
Shops (o.a. Winn Dixie; ask for a discount pass) are very close by and can even be reached by foot if wished for.
The naberhood is quiet en peacefull.
The kids (and us also) jumped right from their beds into the swimming pool and hot tub every morning and enjoyed themselfs very much.
The house is equiped with everything that is needed as well as the much needed airconditioning. The house itself is a typical American home in a typical American street (at least to us Dutch people) and has a warm feeling to it and is very well decorated with a lovely back garden with a tropical jungle fibe to it.
There are a lot things to see within driving distance from Fort Lauderdale like the islands The Keys and Key West, the mall Sawgrass Mills, the swamps of The Everglades with the alligators, Disney World in Orlando, Kennedy Space Center, Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale itself with all the canals can be best seen with the Jungle Queen riverboat or an electrical rental boat. An absolute great recommendation is to visit Tranquility Bay Resort for a lunch or diner on the island Marathon Key. It is beautifull resort with a bounty island kind of beach.
The owners Susan and Hubert will make every effort to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
A restaurant with a beautifull outside bar and terras that we would like to recommend is Brio Tuscan Grille in Pembroke Pines and has very good, fresh well presented small dishes. This is located in a shopping area with beautifull shops.

Home Decor with French Nostalgia...!

Review submitted: August 28, 2012   Date of arrival: August 17, 2012

The days have gone by so fast and finally the day has come for us to say
farewell to your beautiful house. I can't thank you enough for everything. We
have enjoyed so much, and I have to congratulate you on the exquisite
decoration, all the french details reminded me so much of my youth when I lived
in France. It filled me with nostalgia of that time of my life.
Only one thing happened and it is that the green pool turtle float popped while our kid
was playing. We tried to find one exactly the same but we didn't find it so I am
leaving in the dining room table two floating mats instead.
I hope you find the rest as it was when you arrived.

Thanks again, it was a pleasure to meet you.

Ft Lauderdale rental home

Nancy (Nashville)
Review submitted: June 7, 2012   Date of arrival: May 26, 2012

During orientation the owners explained the alarm system and other amenities. We enjoyed the pool and the home very much. We went to the 15th St Fisheries for lunch with our 4 year old grandson and all of us enjoyed the restaurant.

Bring a beach umbrella and chairs if possible. The beach is nice and very close.

Review submitted: May 18, 2012   Date of arrival: October 14, 2011

Nous y retournerons pour la troisième fois en juillet prochain et croyez-moi c'est un endroit de rêve. Nous y retrouvons tout le confort qu'on peut souhaiter pour des vacances inoubliables. La maison est située dans un quartier paisible près de tous les services et attractions. On s'y sent à l'aise et en sécurité. La maison est décorée avec un très grand souci du détail: l'accueil est très chaleureux et convivial. Quel plaisir de pouvoir cuisiner de bons repas après une journée bien remplie... quel plaisir de pouvoir relaxer dans une piscine et un spa dans l'intimité de la cour... La maison peut facilement accueillir 6 personnes. Rien ne manque... Je recommande sans hésitation cette prestigieuse maison à tous ceux pour qui les vacances riment avec confort et tranquillité.

Fort Lauderdale Find!

traveler2 (Sacramento, CA USA)
Review submitted: May 11, 2012   Date of arrival: April 1, 2012

We were surprised at how large the house was. Our favorite was the beautiful marble floor and the backyard patio area with the pool which lights up at night, and the tiki torches. It was in a nice neighborhood, less than a mile to the Irish pub and Seafood restaurants on the water on the way to the cruise ship port - about 3 miles away. The owner lady met us at the house and showed us how everything works and made sure to show us the beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, beach towels and bicycle for us to use. Also blender and waffle maker available. They really have a great house here. I have heard some disappointing stories about renting online, but the owners really had it together here and the house was spotless and thought out. We got the place on a good special they were running in April. The place had it all. Whoever decorated the rooms has very good taste. Thank YOU!!!!

Perfect Place with everything included

Review submitted: May 7, 2012   Date of arrival: April 30, 2012

We chose this place because it looked like a very well taken care of home. Thankfully we found it on such short notice. It was so much more than we expected. We really enjoyed the extra thoughtful touches like fresh flowers, extra toilet tissue and laundry powder, citronella candles and bug repellent, and candles in each of the living rooms. Also a crisp white table cloth and crystal candle sticks. Wow- really nice in each of the bedrooms, too. And having the washer and dryer made it easier on us before repacking to go home. It really felt like home only not as cluttered! Thanks again for a great time,Susan.

Wonderful Vacation Rental!

castone (Fair Oaks, CA)
Review submitted: May 2, 2012   Date of arrival: December 21, 2011

The house is beautifully appointed and very pleasant, clean and fresh! We could not find anything that was lacking. We especially liked the open spaces and nice homey touches. Finding our way around town was easy, since everything you came for was within 5 minutes in one direction or another. Even the beach was a short distance to get to. Overall, the convenient area of town was pleasant and you didn't have to pay top dollar or be squeezed into a small space to enjoy your stay. I highly recommend this vacation rental and will definately stay there again!

My husband and I stayed in this home for a week during the spring. It was just the two of us, and our dog, the owners were very helpful, and nice. The house was spacious, in a quiet neighborhood, and convenient to all the nearby attractions.

great clean house

from NY (Brooklyn)
Review submitted: December 4, 2010   Date of arrival: November 21, 2010

It is a great beautiful house. It's clean and very well-maintained. This house has a good layout, and there was enough space to stay comfortable for two families. It has a good clean pool and an amazing hot tub in the backyard. We had a wonderful vacation. The owner provided good customer service. We had no problem there. There was a German restaurant close to this house; we liked it.
