" We rented this nice townhouse twice, in July 2008 and in July 2009. It is conveniently located near the beach. We had all the facilities nearby (supermarket, tennis court, playground...). Also, we really enjoyed the place, quiet and peaceful with a nice neighbourhood. We met again canadian people ; as us, they were coming back to the same place. It was really nice... The house itself is just what we need for our family of 5. From each part of the living room, you have a bedroom with its own bathroom and the kitchen is fully equipped. We really enjoyed our vacation in this place and we hope to come back again next summer... Nathalie, French living in Hong Kong" Hong Kong

Nov. 2008 My family and I enjoyed very much Jim's place during our 1 week vacation in November 2008. Grocery, beach, entertainment, everything is nearby which makes it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the surrondings. Everybody we have met were very accomodating for our different needs, which is not always an easy task when you travel with a 1 year old daughter. We had plenty of space for the 5 of us and we are happy to say we have found our spot for our next visit to Lauderdale-by-the-sea. Thanks Jeff R. Montreal, Canada

My family and I spent 9 days over Christmas in this very pleasant and clean 2 bed , 2 bathroom villa. Situated in a quiet area of Lauderdale and within minutes walking distance of the superb beach , shops and restaurants. Short car drive and easy access into Fort Lauderdale. The perfect location for a family holiday. The owner made us feel very welcome and we had a great time. Would recommend it. Ian M, London, England.

Me and a couple of my girlfriends spent 5 days at Mr. Magarian's condo in September 2007. We were thrilled to see how clean and comfortable the rooms were. Everyone we encountered in the neighborhood was very friendly. Our goal was to have a very relaxing, low key getaway and this was definitely the place to be. The beach about a block and a half away, was beautiful and the water was nice and warm. All shopping/lounges/restaurants/entertainment is within walking distance to the condo, which was very convenient for us. The only time we were in a car was to and from the airport. We had a great stay at the Lauderdale by the Sea Villa and can't wait to go back! Tara M, Boston, MA

My family and I stayed at Jim Magarian’s Villa in Lauderdale by the Sea from June 28-July 8, 2007. We enjoyed staying there because it was clean and comfortable. His villa is on the first floor at the end of the building close to the pool. It is conveniently situated near the beach, Dunkin Donuts, a drugstore, the Publix food store, and the town of Lauderdale by the Sea. We could walk to all of these places easily which helped us eliminate looking for parking and paying parking meters. The beach was never crowded and there is a reef not too far out where my sons snorkeled and viewed a variety of beautiful fish. One son had good time fishing off the nearby pier. I would stay at Mr. Magarian’s Villa again if I return to Lauderdale by the Sea. Sincerely, Kathy M., Maryland
