We have two children ages 10 and 12. We planned a road trip from Atlanta, Georgia for Spring Break 2013. This home is fabulous! It's on a quiet street, with a nice cozy entrance and open garage. The home has a spacious living room with all the amenities you can think of. Lights are all over the place, nice LCD TV (with HDMI inputs for those who are techies like me!), sound system (ipod/iphone connection), ceiling fans, Wifi, in home. Rooms are very well furnished all over and there is more than enough towels to handle all the pool activities and trips to the ocean. Both bathrooms also have bath soaps and hand soaps there. Kitchen Warning! :) You do NOT need to bring anything from your home or need to purchase any utensils locally to begin cooking. EVERYTHING possible is there from a coffee maker, to blender, to oven pans, utensils, plates galore, pots and pans. Including little stuff like lighters for the clean grill, paper towels, trash bags, hand soap, dishwashing soap, cleaners etc. Fully stocked and that made our lives very easy because we had everything there. All you do is unpack and you're home! One of the kitchen cabinets even had a good stock of little stuff like salt, sugar, coffee filters some spices etc. Again a small bonus but appreciated. Highly recommended and the owner is very quick to get in touch if there is a question or a problem. 6 stars!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

We could not have asked for more in a holiday accommodation. The house was perfect - great furnishings, beautifully equipped kitchen, great audio/video equipment, and even the wi-fi signal was strong. The best feature was the back yard - beautifully landscaped and so private and comfortable and the pool was great. The location is also perfect. A short walk from Whole Foods, retail and restaurants. The beach wasn't far either (by car). We would most definitely book this property again and would recommend it to anyone looking for accommodation in Fort Lauderdale.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, pet owners, tourists without a car, age 55+, girls getaway, families with teenagers.

My husband and I stayed at Casa Calmare for his 50th birthday. We chose March 3rd to the 11th 2013. The home was everything that we read about and expected. The home is furnished nicely,it was clean, comfortable, and we did not want for anything. The back yard was better than we expected. There is such detail in the landscaping with it's mature palm trees and shrubury that made us feel like we were at a five star resort. The neighborhood was quiet and close to restaraunts, grocery store, and movie theater. We had a relaxing vacation and we recomend that anyone who views this property on line to book it you will not be dissapointed.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+.

The house was beautiful and well maintained. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything you could possibly need. I'm a bit of a germaphobe and really dislike hotels. The house was spotless! The size is great and really served our purposes. Even though only two of us slept there, we have family in the area and there was plenty of room for all of us to sit and have dinner, both inside and out. We will definitely be renting this home again!Recommended for: Pet owners, age 55+, families with teenagers.

My wife and three daughters spent a week at Casa Calmare and it was the perfect vacation house. The house had a great open layout between the kitchen, dining and family rooms and all overlooked the pool. The pool area was by far the best part of the house; private and tropical, we spent most of our days there. The house is convenient to tons of shopping and restaurants and the beach is a quick drive away. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We thoroughly enjoyed the house. It was very clean and well furnished. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The house is fully furnished and we didn't feel the need to rush out upon arrival (after 10 pm) to find a cup of coffee. The carport is a plus as well. The location is favorable for shopping and restaurants. The heated pool is inviting from the early hours in the morning until late at night. And what can we say about the ducks and the peacock who visited us in the front garden and the squirrels, chipmunks, lizards and snakes in the back yard. The latter made us rush on the internet to make sure they were not poisonous as we've only seen snakes in our zoo. The gardens are well kept and maintained every week as well as the pool. We definitely want to return next year around the same time.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, age 55+, girls getaway, families with teenagers.

This house was absolutely perfect for our family and we had a great time. The pool was warm and the grounds very well kept. The house was immaculate, everything working fine, a big and perfectly fitted kitchen. The two bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house, which protects your privacy. The location is also very convenient, in a quiet, safe and very pleasant neighborhood, yet 5 minutes drive to Publix, Starbucks, and all the conveniences. All in all, a great experience with a very nice owner and an efficient property manager.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

My wife and rented this beautiful home from April 28, 2011 until May 6, 2011. The home totally lived up to our expectations. It was very clean and very nicely furnished.The cable tv had extensive channels.The wireless internet worked without a flaw.This is the 4th home we have rented over the last 2 years in this area (Pompano, Hollywood & Fort Lauderdale). It was by far the nicest.It is very close to the Federal Hwy #1 and all the stores & restaurants that this offers. The beach was also very close.The very private backyard with its perfectly heated pool and outstanding landscaping was an absolute pleasure to sit out in both day & night. Very nice subtle lighting at night.We also had a couple of barbecues on the Weber barbecue. We would definitely consider renting this home again. Its the only place we have been at that my wife did not want to leave. we had a wonderful vacation there.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 6/6
