This is an older home but it is VERY CLEAN, so you feel very comfortable and can just relax. Some VRBO's are very fancy and you feel like you might break something. Ann is caring and communicated well with us. The house and family has an interesting history. We had a great time and will stay again when we are in the area.

Great stay!

What a relaxing get away, can’t beat the view and privacy! Lots of amenities provided, which was a welcomed surprise! My only advice is to remember you’re staying by a lake in Florida… don’t be like me and forget that comes with bugs. Other than a few jumpscares from nature, this was a perfect stay!

Wonderful stay!

My family and I loved our stay here! If anything, the pictures and description are modest compared to how lovely the home is! The pool was so refreshing and clean and the lake was incredible. There were so many friendly lizards, iguanas and birds around the property that were so fun to watch! The screened in porch area was always well shaded and cool. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels for use. The sunsets shown in the pictures are nightly! We couldn’t be happier with our stay. Thank you!!

The Description is Accurate...Plus Some

This house is exactly the way it is described in words and photos. Except it's even better. The hosts are extremely responsive and concerned with their guests' comfort.Every area of the house is comfortable and the house is spotless inside and out. Additionally, they've included helpful touches like ample charging ports, plenty of towels and toiletries, and a detailed guide so that you'll be able to find the answer to just about any question you have.I would definitely stay here again, and I recommend this house to anyone visiting the Fort Lauderdale area!

Very comfortable property with excellent facilities

The first bonus was how close and easy it was to get here from FLL airport. The arrival instructions were excellent. The private pool and hot tub overlooking the lake add a touch of luxury and there was everything you could want in the kitchen and elsewhere including pool toys. Ann was really helpful and responsive to any questions. This was a great base for exploring south Florida.
