Vacation Rentals by Owner

Everything's great

Date of Stay: 05/04/12 Review Submitted: 05/16/12

The house is great just as other mentioned. Just to add few points. The owner put in lots of work in little details that makes everything really convenient. For example, the key system and the folder with instructions for the things in the house. Most importantly, the owner is very nice and easy to communicate with and he returns the deposit really fast.

Wonderful Property

Guest: Rachel N.
Date of Stay: 04/17/12 Review Submitted: 04/27/12

My family stayed at this Townhome for one week. We needed a three bedroom because my in-laws were going to be visiting for a few days as well. This property offered plenty of room for all of us (4 adults and 2 kids - ages 2 and 5). All of the photos that were posted for this home were accurate. The property was very well maintained. My boys loved the pool and spent many mornings and afternoons swimming. The property is on a quiet street close to everything Fort Lauderdale has to offer. Prior to having kids, I always stayed at hotels and resorts, however, now I always use vrbo to find homes or villas. It is so much easier to travel with kids when you have the conveniences of a home. I have never been disappointed in my experiences with private rentals and this was absolutely no exception. Patrick was easy to deal with and everything went very smoothly.

Owner response:Rachel, Thank you for the wonderful comments. I am happy you had a great time and look forward to you and your family returning again!

I stayed at this Townhome for three weeks. All of the photos that were posted for this home were accurate and the listing description was right on. This property is IMMACULATE, very clean and very well maintained. The owner answered all of my questions regarding the listing immediately. I vist Ft. Lauderdale at least two time a year and have stayed in many different locations. By far this was the BEST location ever. Very close to Rt 1, Las Olas Blvd, and I95.I walked to the Publix, which was by far, the best grogery store. It has garage parkig connected to the supermarket. All of BEST restaurants are near by as well as shopping. The beach is only a few minutes away. I loved the pool and stayed there my entire stay. The top deck is an open area the entire size of the townhome. Great for sunbathing and cooking outside. I never have to look for a place to stay because this will always be my first choice.

Owner response:Maria, Thank you for the nice comments and for choosing my home for your vacation getaway. I look forward to hearing from you very soon!

Hi Patrick We just received your phone message regarding our stay at your home in Fort Lauderdale. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The home was exceptionally clean and well-maintained with top of the line furnishings and amenities. We enjoyed being so close to everything, especially Las Olas, the Riverwalk, and a five minute drive to the beach.The third floor sun terrace is amazing! We enjoyed cooking on the bbq, having morning coffee and spending our evenings up there after dinner. Everything was great and better than what we had hoped for. We would really like to come back next year and stay in your home. We would highly recommend your home to family and friends. We certainly didn't want to leave and the weather was gorgeous, we hated to come back home to winter weather here in Canada. Thank you so much for the bottle of wine and welcome basket of goodies. It was a real pleasure staying in your home. Thanks Again

Owner response:Dear Tom and Nancy, Thank you for the wonderful remarks! I'm very happy you had a fantastic vacation. You are welcome back anytime!

Christmas vacation

Date of Stay: 12/23/11 Review Submitted: 01/23/12

My husband & I wanted to spend Christmas with our children & grandchildren this year & since we all live in different states we choose to meet in Fort Lauderdale. Since there were so many of us we choose to rent a condo. Patrick's condo we great, very clean, close to everything we wanted to do and our youngest grandchildren loved the pool. Our oldest grandchildren enjoyed being close to the river walk. We went to the beach several days, found beach toys in the garage which was great since we forgot to bring any. It was the first time I rented a condo but from this experience I would defiantly do it again.

If you are looking for a beautiful, top of the line vacation rental, this is it! We spent 5 days at this property and it is everything it is advertised to be. Pictures are accurate, home was exceptionally clean and well-maintained with top of the line furnishings and amenities. Owner was pleasant and responsive making the rental process a smooth and pleasant experience. He even surprised us with a basket full of snacks and travel accessories upon our arrival - so thoughtful and really speaks to the character of the owner! We would definitely rent this vacation home again during any future visits to the Ft. Lauderdale area. Give it a try and we know you won't be disappointed.

Owner response:Marie, Thank you for the very nice comments! I hope you and your family will return again soon! Happy Holidays! Patrick

Fabulous Place to Stay

Guest: GatorMom (Sanford, Florida)
Date of Stay: 11/23/11 Review Submitted: 01/02/12

We (myself, husband, 2 children and my mom) stayed here over Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time. House is just as beautiful as the pictures, even better. Very clean and spacious. The rooftoop terrace was the best and I thought the pool size was just perfect. The third bedroom/den is on the main floor while the other two bedrooms are on the lower level. At first we thought this may present a problem because we didn't want to leave our two small children upstairs. Of course it wasn't a problem because the home is so well equipped we used the air matress and kept the little ones with us in the huge master bedroom. Patrick, the owner, is repsonive and fantastic to work with. The house is a great location as well; it is close to Las Olas and the riverwalk. I would certainly stay here again. Just georgous!

Owner response:Jill, I am happy that you and your family chose my vacation home for the Thanksgiving holiday. I would love to have you back anytime and will give you an excellent rate. Thank you for the nice comments. Happy New Year, Patrick.

Date of Stay: 10/15/11 Review Submitted: 11/23/11

Our family stayed at this beautiful home and were thrilled with our accommodations. Patrick promptly replied to our emails which we appreciated. He gave us a great deal and we saved tons of money versus staying at the Hilton. You really can't compare a home like this to staying in hotel room. The privacy alone is worth the money, but the home is "very" large, spotless, organized, and full of everything you need. we enjoyed being so close to everything, especially Las Olas Boulevard and the museum. This is the first rental we have stayed where the owner had left a gift basket, bottle of wine and personal note on the counter. A very nice touch. Check out procedures were easy to follow. Can not think of one thing to improve on. Thank you Patrick, we will recommend to our friends and most certainly be back ourselves.

Family holiday , great location

Date of Stay: 10/08/11 Review Submitted: 11/20/11

We were a family travlling from England ( ages 70 -14 ) We were due to meet a crusie ship ,but wanted to extrend out holiday.W found this great home on the web , cheaper than the Hilton but with all the quailty of a luxurious hotel. Every thing was as the web site promised,nice family ,tv/dinning area.The villa is a 2/3 bedroom the third bedroom having a large sofa bed ,fine for 2 tenages to sleep in .Everything has been thought out,beach towels,bath towel etc.The roof top patio is a real sun trap and has a gas BBQ/Grill is there if you plan a evening meal.Pool not massive but fine for a cooling dip after a day in the hot sun.The villa is located in the center area of FL.,in a resident area , so do not expect to see many holiday makers around.The area is a safe.well maintaned area.We had a hire car ,but you could walk to publix and downtown(a good 20-30 min walk !) The Villa is about 6-8 years old ,however the attention to detail ,furniture and decor has a brand new feel.Very clean I found the booking system easy the owner was very helpful and so was the managment company maintaining the pool,building and any orther question we had. Lots and lots of things to do from top end Las Olas area to budget places .Beach was a short drive 5 mins ,River taxi stop close by,Villa is close to all activies ,or simply relax in the villa ,and order 'take out food'.I would return to this Villa ,Trust the web site and the photos.

Owner response:Neil, I'm so happy to learn that you and your family had a wonderful time at my vacation home. You are welcome back anytime and I'll be sure to give you a great rate. Happy Holidays! Patrick

Date of Stay: 08/04/11 Review Submitted: 09/09/11

I can highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone who wants a clean and more upscale home to stay while in Fort Lauderdale. Was far nicer than we anticipated and is clearly taken care of. Excellent location, organized, tastefully decorated, and had everything we needed. Patrick was very pleasant and professional and booking process was very easy and simple. We scoped out other vacation homes in Lauderdale for a possible trip next year, but nothing held a candle to this home.

We can highly recommend this gorgeous property. Stayed there a week in June and never had one issue. Renting was a breeze and Patrick answered all our questions. Home was immaculately clean and decorated beautifully. Did not feel like a rental property at all. Location is to die for. Quiet street. Met the lovely neighbors. Close to shopping, beach, restaurants, and even the airport. Large grocery store also very close. Pool was perfect for cooling off. Deposit was returned within 3 days. Only problem is that we were not there long enough!

Amazing Rental Home

Guest: Mary H. (Houston)
Date of Stay: 05/21/11 Review Submitted: 06/23/11

We booked this property last minute due to my husband having to be in Fort Lauderdale for business and made it into a mini-vacation. This home was absolutely perfect for us and our 2 teenage daughters. My sister had stayed here a couple of years ago and she told us how splendid it was. What you notice first is the marvelous decorating and special touches throughout. Lots of attention has been given to artwork, space arrangement, and color, things we didn't expect to find in a rental property. The open living room, kitchen and dining room was amazing. The girls really enjoyed the enormous sun deck which was private and peaceful, and we managed to cook out up there 1 night. The home is very clean, very user friendly, with plenty of good towels and linens. Nice large TV and fast wireless internet. Pool was clean. Location is very ideal, close to Las Olas, beach, and waterfront. We will definitely be coming back.

Owner response:Mary, It was a pleasure to have your family as guests in the townhome. Thank you for the nice remarks. And thank your sister for the referral! I look forward to having you back. Hope you found the Bonnet House.

This home is exceptional and was more than we expected. Having read many of the reviews our expectations were high. Patrick made the renting process easy and straightforward. Upon arrival at night, the home was already air-conditioned, lights on, and very welcoming, with a gift basket, peronal note and bottle of wine! The home is even more beautiful than the photos. It is spottlessly clean, well stocked, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The property manager made himself available if we needed anything, which we didnt. Location is superb-close to waterfront, shopping, beach, and restaurants. Neighborhood is very quiet and safe. Third floor sun roof is amazing! Enjoyed cooking on the grill, and having morning coffee up there, as well as getting sun on our pale skin. Best part is there is an outdoor shower to cool off up there. We will definitely be coming back next year. Five stars!

Date of Stay: 04/30/11 Review Submitted: 05/31/11

We were trying to find a house to stay while attending a conference in the convention centre. We found this house which suited our need in terms of rooms and the cost was fairly affordable when compared to separate hotel rooms. The pictures looked great on the website and so it was exactly as it appeared. The house is very spacious, clean and immaculate overall. We have stayed in the place for 6 days and it was more than comfortable. The wireless internet was also very fast and reliable, crucial to our working trip. We even had a barbecue on the top floor and the facilities were all there in excellent working order. The Landlord has certainly attended to the details for the enjoyment of residence and the house is very tastefully designed. There is a supermarket right round the corner so things are very convenient. Overall, we had a great time here. The only downside of it is that it is a bit far from the beach and the pool can certainly be bigger.

Wonderful Fort Lauderdale Retreat

Guest: Chicago Spring breakers (Chicago, IL)
Date of Stay: 03/27/11 Review Submitted: 04/05/11

We want to thank you so much for a wonderful stay at your home in Fort Lauderdale. My toddler, 5 year old, husband and I all enjoyed the house and would come back again. The house was conveniently located to the shops on Las Olas Blvd, museums, the beach and other attractions. Also, the house was everything the pictures depict on your website and more. It was comfortable, warm and inviting. Unfortunately we were unable to use the rooftop deck and outdoor dining but I wanted to note that the space outside both up on the rooftop as well as by the pool were definitely features that were wonderful outdoor features to the house. Finally, the few distinguishing elements that I feel really differentiated your home from others that we've stayed at in the past were the added touches of the welcome basket/wine you left for us and your property manager who was available to answer whatever questions we did have. We look forward to visiting again.

Owner response:Mita, I am happy you and your family had such a nice time. You are welcome back anytime to escape the cold! Best, Patrick

Patrick, we are happy to submit some comments about your beautiful home. We arrived late but found the home ready and welcoming for us. Lights and TV were on and we appreciated the gift basket with treats. Your home is beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. We had everything we needed for our stay and appreciated the suggestions for dining and activities for the children. Neighborhood was safe, quiet, and close to everything we wanted to do-great to be so near Las Olad Boulevard. We did indeed meet your neighbors Gary and Barbara who were delightful and offered more tips for restaurants. The large third floor terrace was popular with the children and we had a few dinners up there using the grill. Checkout was simple. Everything was perfect and better than what we had hoped for. Look forward to coming back next year. Alice and Jacob

Drive down Los Olas ave right to the beach and you will want to return year after year. Thanks Patrick.

Patrick's townhome was more than we expected. The home is spacious, impeccably furnished, elegant to say the least and so clean. Nice location, near the airport, stores, restaurants, shops, beaches and beaches. Our grandchildren really enjoyed the upper deck with shower as well as the heated pool. We had great weather the first week in January, sun every day with temps 75 to 80. Patrick is a very caring owner, our 2 grandsons are twins and 18 months old and very active. Patrick instructed his property manager Mark to purchase 2 new childproof gates so we would not have to worry about the boys having access to the stairs; this gesture was very much appreciated. If your considering staying at a hotel, forget about it; how can you compare a hotel room or suite to a magnificent home with all the amenities. Thanks again Patrick and Mark, we will certainly be coming back in the future.

We have been coming to Ft. Lauderdale for many years for Christmas holidays and usually stay at the Hilton Marina. This year we decided to do something different to make our holidays more personal and special and rented this enormous elegant home. It is simply beautiful inside. 3 bedrooms each with it's own bath. The best part was the second floor layout with a giant kitchen, living room and dining area in one space. More impressive was how spottlessly clean it was. Patrick was a superb host and made the rental process very easy. Would recommend to everyone!

We needed a last minute rental and we found this gem of a place. Patrick was the first person to call us back and offered us a great deal for 5 nights. Within 24 hours we had a lease in our hands and had paid for the rental. The best part was the actual home itself. Very large, modern and spotlessly clean. Each bedroom had its own unique character, and the second floor open kitchen-dining-living room area was amazing. Every detail down to the towels and dishes was first rate. We enjoyed coffee on the large 3rd floor terrace while calling friends up north. Were very close to Las Olas Boulevard, huge grocery store, airport, many good restaurants. Although the neighbood was safe, we liked being able to park our rental car in the garage. 5 Stars-highly recommend!

We appreciated Patrick's professionalism and the speed of which he replied to our original email. He made renting very easy and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Have rented other condos in Lauderdale the past couple of years and this was hands down the best and cleanest.

This property was recommended to us by our friends who stayed there last year. We were skeptical having never rented a vacation home before. All of our fears were put to rest the moment we walked in the door. It is simply spectacular. The photos on the website do not do justice as it is very large, clean, and elegant. We really enjoyed the enormous terrace on the third floor and used the gas grill several times. Even better was how close we were to all the activities and restaurants. Thank you Patrick for a wonderful vacation. We'll be back.

Would recommend this home to anyone looking for an upscale contemporary rental. Home was very clean, well equipped, and in a great location. Appreciated the gift basket and wine at check in. The guest manual was very helpful and had great suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants. The 3rd floor sun deck was simply amazing. Spent many nights there and great views. Patrick was an amazing host and made the renting process very easy and simple.

My family and I stayed in Patrick's townhome for five days in August '10. This was a very easy process because of Patrick's willingness and professionalism. The home was even more beautiful than the pictures portray. The house was flawlessly clean and immaculately decorated. Patrick made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Our whole family, including pets, enjoyed the vacation in Fort Lauderdale. Thanks Patrick!

Simply Beautiful

My husband and I spent a week in this lovely home to celebrate our anniversary and were thrilled with everything. This was easily the cleanest, largest, and most elegant rental we've ever stayed in. I assume it was professionally decorated. The large deck on the 3rd floor with gas grill was amazing, private, and perfect for evening cocktails and spectacular views of downtown. We literally saved hundreds of dollars compared to what we would have paid to be right on the beach. There was also a gift basket and bottle of wine waiting for us on check-in! We will definitely come back! Thank Patrick!

Owner response:Dear Stephan and Marjorie, It was a pleasure to help you with your rental and happy to know you had a great vacation. Hope you found the Bonnet House! It's amazing.

First Rate!

We spent 6 days at the townhouse and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The property is very new, clean, bright and very nicely decorated. The 2nd floor kitchen-living room-dining area is amazing! The bedrooms were very large and there are 3 TV's throughout. Were impressed to find that even beach towels were provided. Very close to airport, downtown, beach, and Las Olas. We enjoyed nice walks down to the Riverfront. Enjoyed the pool very much and the grill on the 3rd floor. Deposit was returned in one week before we could inquire about it. Can highly recommend. Thanks Patrick!

Owner response:Dear Laura and Greg, Thank you for the nice comments! I'm happy to hear you and your family had a wonderful vacation. Please be in touch should you wish to return to South Florida in the future. I will be happy to offer you a discount on your rental. Thanks again.

My friends and I recently rented the townhouse for a week and we were not disappointed. Not only is the place centrally-located, but it was immaculate, spacious, beautifully-designed, comfortable and peaceful. The huge rooftop deck was the perfect setting for an evening BBQ. We'll return again. One of the better rentals I've experienced. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic space fuels fun in the sun

What a beautiful, comfortable space to vacation! I worried that the pics were too good to be true but in actuality they barely do the place justice. While we spent a bulk of time at the beach, having the pool was a treat especially when the kids wanted more time in the water. Top-notch electronics and sound system. Also the kitchen had everything we needed and the upstairs deck with BBQ made it easy to cook and eat outside. Look forward to visiting again.

3 of stayed for three weeks in June while working at the theatre which was only an 8 minute stroll away. It turned out to be a working holiday and didn't want to leave. Everything in the house is of the highest quality; kitchen utensils, crockery, bed linens, towels. The area is wonderfully private and quiet and only a stones throw from the waterways. Better than I could have hoped for. Thank you for a great stay.

I stayed at the townhouse for 3 weeks and it was fantastic! It's beautifully decorated, looks just like the pictures. We all loved our bedrooms. The kitchen is great and the living area is spacious - the whole house is very comfortable. We didn't use the roof deck as it was very hot, but the pool was a godsend! I didn't have a car, but there's so much in walking distance including grocery, restaurants, shops, movies and theatre. I highly recommend this house for long or short stays. It was a delight!

I stayed at the townhouse for three weeks and it was fantastic. The house is beautiful and comfortable. We all loved our rooms and having a great kitchen and living area was terrific. It was June and very hot out, so having the pool was lovely. I didn't have a car, but didn't need one with grocery, shops, restaurants, movies and theatre all in walking distance. I highly recommend staying there, you won't be disappointed!

Patrick, thank you for a most wonderful time at your townhome. My girlfriends and I had a lovely vacation and are already speaking of another reunion next year. The photos don't do justice to your beautiful home. We loved the decorating and were impressed by how clean everything was. Also enjoyed being very close to Las Olas and the Riverfront. Met your neighbors who gave us wonderful tips on sightseeing and restaurants. We couldn't have asked for more.

My husband and I and our 5 kids (ages 18 - 9) didn't want to leave! The home is immaculate, well stocked and in a great location. The pool was perfect for cooling down, as we had fabulous weather. The photo's are right on target. Patrick made everything so very user-friendly and it was a breeze to rent from him. We were visiting for 8 days during Easter break and found alot to do. We ventured to Lauderdale by the Sea, not too far from the condo and really enjoyed its quaint downtown area and quiet beaches. We did a day trip to Miami and ate some fabulous cuban cuisine! Walking by the riverfront or Los Olas blvd and eating cheesecake was a treat. And the proximity to the airport couldn't have been better. The older kids would hang out on the rooftop at night, listening to their ipods, relaxing or playing cards. Don't hesitate, just book it! Maryann

Owner response:Maryann, Thank you for the great comments. I'm so happy you had a great time. I look forward to having you back again VERY soon! Stay in touch! Patrick
