It was such a pleasure hosting you and we hope to welcome you back in the future Lisa!
Everything was amazing! There was plenty of space for 5 adults and 4 teens (14-18). Everything you needed to cook at home was in the kitchen. Even a well-stocked spice cabinet. We are already planning our next trip & hoping to stay in Vanny's house next year.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure hosting you!
We had a family vacation at this wonderful home. 5 adults and one toddler. The location of the home is perfect as there are many restaurants and stores nearby. Beaches are a short car ride away. The home and the pool were great for a family of 6!
Everything about this house made our vacation enjoyable. The pool and hot tub right outside the door was a real treat. Plenty of beach towels and bath towels, kitchen was well stocked with wine glasses and coffee cups which is sometimes not the case with other properties. Had a good stock of pots and pans and dishes. Well stocked with paper towels and toilet paper. Bedrooms were a good size. Everyone was comfortable. The neighborhood is very family friendly and quiet. Playground and pickle ball/tennis very close. The communication with owner was the best I ever experienced. Thank you Vanni! I recommend this property and hope to stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Vanny Johnson
I’ve been a Premier Partner for 10 years! Our family is from Minneapolis/St. Paul in the lovely state of Minnesota. We have been coming to Florida most of our lives and decided that it was the perfect place to slow down and spend quality time with our family and friends. We have furnished the home with what we enjoy as a family and we love that others can enjoy it as well and make their own Florida memories!
Why they chose this property
Quiet, suburban neighborhood less than a mile to dining, grocery, fast food, and shopping! Publix, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Costco, Target, Macy’s, Westfield mall, Vigneto’s Italian restaurant, Taco Craft, First Watch, and tons more! Nearby Golf course 3 miles away. Quick hop onto 595 East - 20 mins to Fort Lauderdale Beach, Hollywood Beach, and Dania Beach.
This location gives us the best of both worlds, we are by the beach, downtown Fort Lauderdale, airport, and many restaurants, attractions, and shopping.
What makes this property unique
Our homes offers you the ability to be under one roof with your family and friends while on vacation. Jump into our heated pool in the middle of winter, dine al fresco all year round, enjoy one of the many nearby restaurants and shopping centers.
