We are in a quiet residential neighborhood surrounded by parks and lots of activities, home to both young professionals and retirees from all over the country as well as people visiting on vacation. The streets are often busy with friendly people walking their dogs, jogging or biking.

Although the neighborhood itself is quiet, we are just a few blocks from the vibrant nightlife and daytime shopping of Wilton Drive; less than 15 minutes to the shops and restaurants of Ft. Lauderdale Beach, downtown Ft. Lauderdale and Las Olas Blvd; and less than 30 minutes from other great beaches such as Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Dania Beach, and the Hollywood “Broadwalk.” Being within a couple miles of I-95 means we are an easy day trip to the Palm Beaches to the north (40 miles) and Miami / Miami Beach to the south (35 miles).

Two state parks and numerous regional parks are within 15 miles. The main entrance to Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve are less than 70 miles away, however you do not need to go that far to experience these iconic wilderness areas; we are happy to show you many places much closer where you can experience airboat rides, alligator/wildlife viewing, bird watching, fishing, and hiking.

Mickel Park, which recently underwent a $1.6 million renovation, is two blocks away and open to the public during the day. This beautifully landscaped park features outside workout stations, a running/ walking path, a sand-volley ball court and several covered pavilions for picnics and other outdoor activities. Several nights a year the city hosts outdoor musical concerts under the main pavilion. There is also a public electric vehicle charging station.

Don Eisele park, located on the middle river (one of the bodies of water that makes Wilton Manors the “island city”) is also within walking distance and features multiple park benches nestled within a canopy of shade trees and a dock that provides views of the middle river. There is also a canoe / kayak launch. This park is also open sunrise to sunset.

Within a mile or two is a Publix grocery store, Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks, Aroma Joe's, 24-hour 7-11, liquor store, CVS and Walmart drug stores, and many other stores, restaurants and bars.

The City of Wilton Manors operates a Circuit ride share service that will take you from our property to anywhere within the city.

We are happy to recommend local beaches, bars, restaurants, shopping areas, or more distant day trips both tame and adventurous. Your hosts are ling time residents of south Florida, and we are just as comfortable sitting poolside as we are fishing the local waters or hiking knee deep in the Everglades, so we are able to recommend activities to fit any preference. It’s also possible to spend your entire time on the property without going anywhere else and have a great, relaxing south Florida experience!

GETTING AROUND ONCE YOU’RE HERE:
There are lots of Uber and Lyft drivers at any time of day or night in this area and they are very easy to get, so ride share is all you'll need if you plan to play and explore locally (Wilton Drive, Ft. Lauderdale Beach, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Las Olas Blvd.) Cabs are also available. Wilton Manors also has CIRCUIT which will take you between any two points within the city of Wilton Manors. As of this writing the cost is $2.00 per passenger per trip. If you plan to visit the attractions not so close, however, you might want to consider a rental car. You could also look into the Tri-Rail or Brightline trains; these run north and south between Miami and Orlando with multiple stops along the way. If this is something that interests you, please make sure to check Brightline or TriRail directly, as schedules, routes and pricing change.

GETTING HERE:
Ft. Lauderdale International Airport is about 15 – 20 minutes away and is served by the usual ride share, taxi, and private limousine services that can be found at any major airport. Miami International and Palm Beach International are each about 30 – 40 minutes away by car, or you might want to use the Brightline Train or TriRail to connect from these airports to the Ft. Lauderdale Train Station. If this is something that interests you, please make sure to check Brightline or TriRail directly, as schedules, routes and pricing change.

We are also located less than 5 miles from Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport, which serves smaller airlines / airplanes and private planes.
