  What a fabulous holiday rental! From the first contact with the owner to the final day of our holiday this rental was the best. The property was everything the listing describe and more. The photographs were accurate, the property was spotless and well keep with lovely funishings and decor. My children felt so comfortable they started calling it home! The home is in a quiet neighborhood and only a short drive to the beach and famous Los Olas Blvd. A great place to shop, dine, and people watch. I can't reccomend this place highly enough. We will be back for certain.

  We typically rent a vacation home through VRBO twice a year and have for the last 6 years. This gorgeous home in Fort Lauderdale was by far the best VRBO yet! It was nicely appointed - we had absolutely everything we needed - and the property manager was very responsive and efficient. The home was comfortable and well laid-out, and our kids LOVED the pool! As an extra touch, Patrick left a bottle of wine and gift basket with goodies we used throughout our stay! We would be thrilled to stay again! Thank you, Patrick!

  Beautiful spacious home with every amenity. We thoroughly enjoyed or 2 week "Girls getaway". The house is in a quiet neighborhood, close to shopping and great restaurants. The highlight of the house is the third floor terrace that affords great views, complete privacy and a relaxing atmosphere with gas grill and large table. Heated splash pool completed the relaxing experience. Would definitely come again.

  Alas, this is our last day here, so we are enjoying it on the terrace. We have rented many vacation homes and this is by far one of the best. It was exactly as described and immaculately clean. Very good service from both Patrick and Mark. Neighborhood was extremely quiet and relaxing. Fabulous restaurants nearby. Will definitely recommend to our friends and will also return..

  This villa was the perfect home for our family of 5. It is very large and beautifully decorated. Three bedrooms each with it's own bathroom. The villa is also very clean and well equipped with everything we required, and beach toys for the young ones. The swimming pool was refreshing and we spent many evenings on the sun terrace which is also very large with a grille for cooking. We appreciated being so close to all restaurants, shopping, and beach. Large supermarket is close and very convenient. Patrick telephoned us in Switzerland to confirm our rental and made everything perfect for us. He even sent a copy of the villa's official Resort License, which made us feel confident. Property manager greeted us and gave us tour of property upon arrival. We will definitely return to this property again.

  This is the 2nd time i have stayed at this vacation property. We were here for Super Bowl XLIV as well. We do event merchandising. So with retail stores up on Fort Lauderdale Beach, convenience was KEY !! Property is flawless, has plenty of room and most of all CONVENIENT. Just a quick 10 minute drive or less to Fort Lauderdale Beach and a 5 minute or less drive to downtown Las Olas where there are lots of restaurants, shops etc. 10 minutes from the airport too. Nice quiet neighborhood. Would definately stay here again on next visit to Fort Lauderdale

  The town house was exactly as it was shown on the web page. Very nice and clean with the extra touch of luxury like home theatre system, one bathroom for every bed room, a big sun roof with sun beds, barbacue grill and shower. We absolutely recommend other persons to rent this property. Really worth every cent. We were 6 adults in the house and still it was lots of space for all of us.
