  A huge thank you to John and Arlene for letting us stay at their beautiful home. We had plans to golf, eat at local restaurants, and see Fort Lauderdale. Other than a prepaid fishing excursion we didn't leave the side of their beautiful salt water pool! We used their gas grill for every meal and even had the luxury of using the tiki-bar for mixing drinks and taking a break from the perfect sunshine. (Us Kansas City boys can't handle too much sun before we burn!) It was perfect! Located minutes from the airport to make transportation easy but far enough away to not even know it was close. Never saw or heard a plane. Everything you need is nearby like grocery stores, gas stations, etc. This trip surpased our expectations by far and wide thanks to the wonderful owners and the incredible house. We have already begun to plan another trip for next year. As much as we know our wives would love and appreciate this home we have decided this will be an anual guys trip. Sorry ladies! Thank you again John and Arlene. Happy belated birthday!

  We are a family of 4 (daughter 17 & son 15) & have just returned from a 2-week family holiday in Florida (one week in Orlando followed by a week in Fort Lauderdale). We were looking for a relaxing base in Fort Lauderdale with good facilities in a great location....& boy, we got it at Perry's Perfect Paradise. The house is beautiful & well appointed with everything you might need. The location was fantastic for us...a quiet, safe residential area but only a stone's throw from the beach, shops, restaurants & attractions - Miami was also only a short drive away too. The real star attraction however was the garden...a lovely, clean well maintained pool & hot tub, plenty of space/chairs to relax, BBQ & a quirky Tiki Bar. The garden opens out onto a lovely dock/canal from which my son & I kayaked most days to explore the local area. In the August heat, it was also great to be a few steps away from the fridge & an air-conditioned house. Arlene & John (the owners) live next door so were on hand if needed to offer advice & sort out any problems - not that there were any! They were so friendly & helpful, it felt like we had known them for years. In summary, this is a lovely house that exceeded our expectations...we wouldn’t think twice about returning again in the future. Thank you Arlene & John for a great holiday!

  Just returned from a one week vacation at John and Arlene's lovely house. The house was impeccable and the private pool and jacuzzi were beautiful. Went with my one year old and she loved every minute of it. John and Arlene even provided a high chair and a pack and play for her to sleep in. Our stay exceeded all of our expectations and we couldn't have found a lovelier house and couple. Thank you so much! We will definitely be returning.

  I have never written a review before but in this case, I had to write a review on this mini vacation. First of all, meeting Arlene and John, they were friendly, caring, and made it their business to please and make you feel comfortable in this paradise. They live right next door but you'll never know it because you'll never see them unless you need something. The first day, I got lost trying to find the house and Arlene called me to give me directions. She met me at the house, very friendly greeting and she wasn't fake at all. She made my family and I feel at home with open arms, The property was very clean and was layed out with everything you could think of. It is the perfect paradise and the only thing I wanted to do was relax by the pool side. The tiki club was an open bar all night and the jucuzzi stay warm until day light. You can't help but to enjoy yourself at the paradise. We tried to fish and grill for three days. I will recommend this paradise to my friends and anyone else I know that is coming to Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. because it's cheaper and more private at the paradise than a hotel. John was your extra hand if you needed help. You can't ask for more than this. I will be coming back to the perfect paradise because I just love it. Oh yeah, if you decide to visit the perfect paradise, do say hello to " Miss Nicky" ( the dog ) for me. They are pet friendly too. Have a great stay. June

  My family and I were lucky enough to choose Perrys Paradise for our stay in Florida, for medical appointments, over five weeks from March 2012. We were delighted to arrive late in the evening and find Arlene had stocked the fridge and cupboards with essentials, to make our arrival easier. We had just flown over from Australia with tired children and exhausted adults, and were made very welcome .We thoroughly enjoyed a day trip on their boat around the Intracoastal waterway on Easter Sunday. They were perfect hosts, the house was immaculate and the pool delightful. We enjoyed walking through the neighbourhood in the evenings with the children, completely safe and friendly. It was wonderful to know that the Perry's were only next door, and yet we had all the privacy we could wish for. We would recommend this vacation stay to anyone, from young couples to families. It was within an easy drive of the beach, shopping and tourist destinations. Thank you John and Arlene.

  Just returned from a "girls getaway" to Ft. Lauderdale, and we had a wonderful, relaxing time at our rental home on Tangelo Isle. The house was clean and welcoming, as was the scenery outside. We loved swimming in the beautiful pool, relaxing in the jacuzzi and having drinks in the Tiki bar. John and Arlene (the owners, who live next door) were SO kind and thoughtful to us from start to finish- by the end of our trip we had two new friends! The location is very convenient to Ft. Lauderdale beach and shopping areas. We truly enjoyed our stay for many reasons, and would certainly make plans to return again in the future. Thank you for a great experience and a great vacation.

  This was a really great place to spend your vacation. The house was great, fully equipped and really nicer than the pictures shows. We were six persons staying at the house and there were enough room for everyone. The owners made us feel very welcome, and we would love to return in the near future. Truly can recommend this place.

  I've never written a review before... but after staying here - we felt we needed to say thank you and let others know how wonderful this place is!.. Arlene and John are wonderful hosts! They are very helpful but not at all intrusive! We felt they truly wanted us to enjoy our stay. They were very easy to work with, helpful and kind. The home, the pool, the hot tub, the dock, the Tiki hut, the kayaks- all made for a wonderful trip with plenty to do for all of us. (3 adults and 2 children) Yet we were still able to relax. We were going to try to see the Everglades for the day but our boys said they would rather stay and play with all the fun stuff at the house. The house was clean, there were more than enough linens, the kitchen worked great to fix our Thanksgiving meal, we enjoyed some fish on the grill... We were very pleased! Thank you Arlene and John!

  Loved this place, very peaceful in a residential setting. House is cozy, but not stuffy. Pet friendly, and everything you need, from linens, dishes, washer, dryer, blender, toaster, great ice maker, gas bbq grill, iron, ironing board, tv in living, master and second bedroom, ac/ ceiling fans all work great, can sit in living room in a/c and have direct view of kids in pool. Nice dining areas inside and out, and the tiki hut is just too cute. Nice cool breeze coming off canal in back, that has lots of boats, with marina feel. Fridge in tiki also. Lighted pool for evening and lighting for dock area. Jacuzzi and pool were both clean, jacuzzi in second bath also. Satellite tv, second bedroom works off programs in living area so you can monitor what the kids watch. Free wifi, nice granite in kitchen, and nice dining area. The managers are awesome and live next door, they even gave me a dozen beautiful roses! Beds were clean and comfortable. Less than 2 miles to downtown, no heavy traffic. Publix and Winn Dixie are less than 2 miles, Airport is close, but you don't get the noise. The owners recommended some wonderful chinese delivery. . Professionals should keep this place in mind also as it is similar to corporate housing. Deposit refunded promptly by mail. Thanks Arlene and John for a wonderful place to stay, Happy Thanksgiving, and hope to see you again.

  My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Perry's Perfect Paradise in Nov 2011. John and Arlene are warm and gracious hosts. John was there to greet us and give us a tour of the property when we arrived. He also had good recommendations for restaurants and shopping in the area. Even though John and Arlene live next door, they respected our privacy and allowed us to peacefully enjoy the property without being disturbed. The property was exactly as described; no surprises. We particularly enjoyed the use of the kayaks and BBQ and appreciated the quiet surroundings. We highly recommend Perry's Perfect Paradise to anyone looking for a getaway.
