Newly Remodeled Home with brand new highest end funiture!

Step inside the 'Tropical Masterpiece' mansion in prestigious 'Las Olas Isle' of Fort Lauderdale, Florida and you will enter a private world of rare and refined luxury that will take your breath away. This stunning 6,000 square-foot architectural gem was created by the European artist Laurin in 1994. The artist created a contemporary tropical paradise by combining the natural elements of mahogany and stone with glass and ceramic tile to create an atmosphere of high style and maximum comfort.

A perfect setting for intimate family gatherings or entertaining large groups. This eclectic tri-level dream house is situated directly on the intracoastal waterway 'Florida own little Venice'.


Outside, a heated sapphire-blue pool is wrapped in a distinctive ceramic tile patio -- all hidden behind a verdant wall of tropical foliage. The 100 foot dock is one of the most amazing ways to experience the spectacular waterways of Fort Lauderdale - the yachting capital of the world.

Strategically located in one of the world's most prestigious neighborhoods, you can enjoy walks to the beautiful sandy beach and to the trendy Las Olas' shops and restaurants. This magnificent home has been featured in several television, magazine and movie productions.

Indulge yourself to an unforgettable vacation at the 'Tropical Masterpiece' and experience tropical paradise in the Venice of the Americas.

                            Dear Hoda, We had a great time. Everyone loved the house. I also must thank you for the advice about the culinary institute for a chef. Our chef, David, was wonderful, I left his contact information on the bar. Please feel free to recommend him to future houseguests. Happy New Year and thanks for all your help!

                            We had a great stay at the tropical masterpiece. We have been renting the property the last 3 years and we are very happy with our stay and hopefully we can do it again next year. There is talk of Joe changing his racing plans but if FL is on the card for next year I will certainly be in touch. Best wishes to you and John for the holiday season.

                            We had an awesome time and the house could not have worked out more perfectly for our group of (16) people all from different part of the world. With the size group that we had, we had initial concerns about everyone being able to shower and have hot water available, but to our delight, it was never an issue. The hot water system you have is more than adequate to accommodate a large group, hats off to whomever specified the system! The house description and location was perfect as well as the restaurant suggestions that where laid out in the welcome letter. Very nice and extreme clean place, with everything you need away from home, so you still feel like at home. Will recomend very highly, would like to rent it again in the summer.

                            We want to Thank You so much for sharing your beautiful home with us! We stayed at the Tropical Masterpiece for a week with our family. We had a wonderful time and loved the property. The location is very quiet, tropical and relaxing. It is a short walk to the beach and Las Olas blv to eat and drink. Getting around is so easy with a car and walking is so enjoyable around the isles in this amazing neighborhood. The property was fabulous and very clean. It has everything and more than we expected.

                            Hoda your Villa was amazing! The view was unbelievable, and the Villa was so spacious and comfortable. You could easily walk to town, or stay at the Villa for relaxation and privacy. Perfect place to go with multiple friends/family and still feel a sense of privacy and enjoy quiet time. The graciousness of the staff and owners made it extra special.

                            We just returned from a fabulous week at your beautiful beach home. We treated our children and their families (4 grandchildren) to a week at the beach and this place couldn't have been better! The boys thoroughly enjoyed fishing and playing in the surf & sand. We loved this tropical relaxing home - the decor was like out of a magazine! The place was spotless and very well maintained - they had everything you could possibly need. The amenities of the house were obviously well thought out. We were greeted with prompt, friendly service by Hoda who gave us excellent directions and recommendations. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We look forward to our visit next year!

                            Just wanted to thank you for allowing our family to stay at your private paradise in Las Olas isles. We absolutely loved our visit! We have rented vacation homes before but this was our most pleasant experience. The tropical private backyard with the pool was wonderful. Our kids loved being able to play in the pool every day! The home was extremely clean and comfortable and well equipped for cooking. We brought our daughter who is in a wheelchair and we found the property to be quite appropriate for wheelchair users. Hoda answered our many questions via email prior to our trip, as well as making sure that everything went well once we returned home. It was a pleasure to correspond with her! We plan to return to this wonderful city and this relaxing paradise home as soon as we can!

                            We stayed at the tropical masterpiece this summer. It is a true masterpiece! I can tell you that this house is even more beautiful in person. The pictures don't do it justice. We definitely hope to return some day soon. We had a party of 10 and it was wonderful. We had our 2 year old daughter, it was safe for her. The house was so large that it felt like everyone had their own area to be alone if need be. This is a gorgeous home and it is extremely well equiped. Couldn't image a nicer place for a family vacation.
