Fort Lauderdale~River Access~Kayaks~Heated Pool
Welcome to Citrus Waterway, your private slice of South Florida where pool days, paddle sessions, sunset cocktails, and Wilton Manors nights are all on the agenda. This bright and spacious three-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront home gives your group the best of both worlds: a peaceful backyard escape on Middle River and an unbeatable central location near Wilton Drive, Fort Lauderdale Beach, Las Olas, shopping, dining, and nightlife.
☀️ Heated pool overlooking the water ☀️ Private dock and two kayaks for exploring Middle River ☀️ Huge open kitchen, dining, and living space made for gathering ☀️ Fire pit, grill, cornhole, loungers, and outdoor dining ☀️ One king bedroom and two queen bedrooms, sleeping up to six guests ☀️ Fast Wi Fi, Smart TV, washer and dryer, beach chairs, and umbrellas ☀️ Pet-friendly, because vacations are better with the whole crew (1 dog, 25 LB weight limit)
Your Backyard Is the Main Event:
Step outside and you will understand why guests love this home. Float in the heated pool, paddle the river from your own dock, grill dinner, play a round of cornhole, or settle in around the fire pit after a day out. The waterway is peaceful, scenic, and full of classic South Florida wildlife. Keep an eye out for birds, fish, iguanas, and the occasional manatee. This is the kind of backyard where plans disappear in the best possible way.
Made for Easy Group Time:
Inside, the home is open, airy, and designed for being together. The oversized kitchen flows right into the dining and living areas, so nobody gets stuck cooking while everyone else has fun. Whether you are sharing breakfast before the beach, hosting a family dinner, or relaxing with a movie after a night on Wilton Drive, the space feels easy and comfortable. Three comfortable bedrooms, one king and two queens, plus two full bathrooms make this an easy fit for families, couples, friends, or a work trip that deserves a better view.
Wilton Manors, Right Where You Want to Be:
You are about six minutes from Wilton Drive, the heart of Wilton Manors and one of South Florida's best areas for restaurants, bars, coffee, shopping, and nightlife. Go out when you want the action, then come home to your own waterfront retreat.
Fort Lauderdale Beach is about 13 minutes away, and you are also conveniently close to Las Olas, downtown Fort Lauderdale, grocery stores, gyms, and everything else that makes a South Florida stay simple.

This property was beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It’s exactly as is!!! Very clean. Very beautiful and the owners are also beautiful people. Will be back.
Stayed here during a vacation to Miami with a few friends from out of town and LOVED the property! It has a great floor plan that allows for it to be opened so you can enjoy the breeze and move throughout the house.The kayaks were also an awesome addition and my friends and I enjoyed an activity out on the water we didn’t need to leave the house for.In truth it was so comfortable we found ourselves enjoying the house more than actually going out and exploring.
Had a great stay at this property. The backyard and heated pool were amazing. Had all the basic necessities we needed for the 3 nights we were there. Good size house and lots of space for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. Had a minor issue when we lost power but it was resolved immediately by the host/Casago, which was super helpful. Would definitely stay here again!
This was a great property. Loved the spacious living room and kitchen and 3 bedrooms. We used the pool daily, which is kept very clean. Enjoyed kayaking on the canal. All the appliances seem new. Highly recommend!
This property is perfect for families! From the decor for the kids rooms, heated pool, fire pit and kayak station outside, it’s a perfect location for a family getaway. The host agency is very responsive and attentive to the needs of the guests. Thank you for all the accommodations!
From the moment I pulled into the u driveway it was everything the pictures showed. Neighborhood was very quiet peaceful backyard beautiful dock with wildlife all around. The pool was so much fun also enjoyed the fire pit and cornhole game we lounge in the backyard taking on sun going fishing and enjoying the surrounding area. My fur babies lounged around the pool enjoying the sun watching us play 100% come back again.

Fort Lauderdale home on canal
Updated home, well maintained pool and yard. The property was located in a busy area of Fort Lauderdale with heavy traffic, pawn and vape shops and many homeless individuals in the area. Although the property itself is on a quiet street this is not an area that would entertain walking/running/biking or other outdoor activities off the property due to safety concerns and lack of green space. The property manager’s communication was average, with me having to send several messages without a reply. It’s an approximate 15 minute drive to get to the beach. Parking at the beach can be a problem, so plan to go early. The house was missing several essentials including dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, paper towel, dish drying rack, laundry basket and working fans. The kayaks were not well maintained/dirty but useable.

Response from VrboOwner on Apr 12, 2025
I was surprised to read Marie's comments, especially considering the following points:
1. We responded to all of Marie's inquiries before and during her stay within minutes, and we have all communication time stamped. I should note, she was inquiring about an early check-in (which she received on the day of her arrival) 9 months before her check-in date. Of course, this can be difficult to approve several months ahead of arrival because it's highly possible a guest can check-out on the same day of an arrival.
2. The home had all of the amenities she mentioned were missing: laundry detergent, dishwashing soap, two rolls of paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, body bar, hand bar, etc. I'm not sure how Marie missed the fully sealed amenities packages placed next to the sink of each bathroom and kitchen. We have time-stamped photos of the amenities placed at the property before her check-in.
3. There are no homeless people walking around, nor is the area dangerous. And while there may be vape shops, pawn shops, hardware stores, fast food restaurants, gas stations, less green spaces.......this is city life! And yes....the home is located on a quiet street with a river in the backyard that runs through the center of the city.
The kayaks are cleaned after every checkout; however, since the home is situated on the river amidst wildlife, debris from outside elements may accumulate on them.
During Marie's stay, she only contacted us once to inquire about a late check-out.
Our vacation week at Citrus Waterway was our best family vacation to date! The property was exactly as listed, and more!
This was our first time to the Fort Lauderdale, so we were very unfamiliar with the area. The neighborhood seemed quiet and is located in great proximity to the airport, restaurants, shopping, the beach, etc.
The outdoor space at this rental provided our family with endless amounts of entertainment. Our kiddos especially loved swimming in the pool, playing cornhole, and roasting marshmallows over the firepit for s'mores.
The house was filled with plenty of essentials and extra accessories as far as linens, toiletries, kitchenware and ustensils... we were not without!
Check-in and check-out was seemless and responsiveness from the rental agents was 5-stars. Because of availability, they were even able to accommodate our early check-in and late check-out requests!
My family could not recommend this listing enough! We find relaxation in finding vacation rentals where we can unwind and sprawl out and just live for that time and this place checked all the boxes for us. If we decide to visit the area again, this place will be at the top of our list.
We thank y'all for the hospitality!
3 bedroom home. The master bedroom shower knob did not work. The toilet in the second bathroom was loose. The two bedrooms have no air conditioning circulation whatsoever. My wife and daughter slept in the master room and I slept on a couch at 62 years of age with the kind of money I paid for this place. The management company was very helpful in communications but the property itself needs to be inspected and sub repairs need to be performed.
