The well maintained Fort Lauderdale beachfront is a short distance as is the Fort Lauderdale International Airport. The thriving Miami Beach nightlife is only a 25-minute drive.
Recreational facilities abound, including more than a hundred golf courses within a 15 minute drive (many only minutes away). There are exceptional tennis facilities as well as scuba diving, windsurfing, dinghy and catamaran sailing and a host of other activities associated with tropical living.
Fishing aficionados have the best of both worlds nearby. Sailfish and numerous other species are a big-catch away via a deep sea charter or boat rentals available at Fort Lauderdale marinas.

Otherwise the canals and New River also are rife with game fish.

Map & Owner's Profile
Waterfront Villa with Heated Pool, Dock & Easy Ocean Access
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
I chose to buy a vacation home in Fort Lauderdale as it is the boating capital of North America.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
I enjoy nothing more than getting up early and taking the kayak out on the canal down to the New River, where there is a nearby wildlife refuge. Along the way there are numerous beautiful wading birds and other wildlife. Upon a return I take a swim and have breakfast by the pool. Later I usually take the bicycle to the beach. After a walk along the beach I usually head over to the Borders Book Store on Sunrise Boulevard for a coffee on the canal. Later I cycle through downtown Fort Lauderdale via the Riverwalk where there are numerous cafes and restaurants as well as a great museum.
Other days trips that I enjoy immensely include the Oleta State Park in north Miami (great kayaking), Everglades National Park, Key Biscayne and Palm Beach.
Owner's Map of Private Homes
I am an American journalist based in Brussels, Belgium and write primarily about United States and European Union relations as they relate to political and regulatory affairs.
Originally from the Washington, D.C. area, I have been a regular visitor to Fort Lauderdale for the past 25 years. Before buying the villa, I kept my sailboat in Fort Lauderdale and sailed regularly to the Florida Keys and the Bahamas.
